RIPTIDE ON 30A

By: Deborah Rine

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Claire had never been happier. The honeymoon in Thailand was perfect. But the flight home to the Florida Panhandle was long and exhausting. As they made their final descent into the Destin Airport, Claire shook Hobbs and called his name, but he was unresponsive. As Claire screamed for help, a doctor came across the aisle and after a short examination declared Hobbs dead. As the story unfolds, Claire descends into a riptide of conflicting emotions and dark secrets. She realizes she never knew Hobbs at all. Their life together was based on a series of lies. Who was Hobbs? And why are the FBI and CIA investigating his death? This fast-paced novel takes place along the exquisite Emerald Coast with its beautiful beaches and charming towns.

GREAT STORY. AWFUL "NARRATOR".

I agree with the other reviews that the AI narration almost ruins the story. I suffered through it only because the story was good, but I hope the AI narration ISN'T the way of the future--I will be cancelling my Audible subscription if that's the case!

Good storyline, POOR audio

The story line was one I liked, however, the AI generated reading took away a lot from the experience. Inflection was off, words were said wrong, voice was not consistent with what it should have been. I wish they had gotten someone to read for it, it would have been a much better book/ experience.

stop AI voice readings!

the story was very good! the AI voice literally ruined the book experience. please don't get too hooked on the AI readings. they stink.

Virtual Voice - atrocious!!

The virtual voice absolutely ruined the story. I thought I could continue and finish the story, but it butchered too many words, destroyed the Spanish pronunciation. It didn’t adjust to the characters. Very robotic, staccato tempo. I was reading the book because it’s about the area I live.
