Hmmm

I love to read. I bought the book thinking I could get into it. The story is great and I would like to know more about what happens to Mercedes, however the person reading the story SUCKED! Her voice is squeaky and irritating. Not only that she didn't do much to change into character. Certain parts she speed read and it aggravated me. Hopefully this isn't the last of pinky Dior though.

Any additional comments?

This book was good all of the way through. Most of the characters were likable and you care what is happening with them. There was a good bit of action, and I never questioned the realism while listening. Good book. This would be a great book for Noir fans. I'm looking forward to part 2.

I loved it!

I think she did a good job of playing a 16-18 year old girl, but at times her voice was annoying.

The story teller

Made the book very hard to listen too. The story itself was ok, but that story teller 👎🏾
