Traces of Kara

By: Melissa Foster

Narrated by: A.T. Chandler, Jennifer Jill Araya

Traces of Kara is an action-packed, pulse-pounding psychological thriller/suspense novel that features a determined killer who slowly loses his grip on reality as his carefully detailed plan starts to fall apart and a heroine determined to move forward with her life who now must reconcile everything she believed to be true about her family with the reality of their tragic past.

Kara Knight didn't know she had a twin...until it was too late.

Kara Knight can't wait to leave her hometown for the promise of nursing school and a fresh start on her future—leaving behind an overprotective mother, a broken heart, and painful memories. However, 25 miles away, the twin she doesn't know exists is determined to be reunited with the sister he cannot forget.

Kara is abducted and thrown into her obsessive captor's delusional world. As the past she thought she knew unravels around her, Kara struggles to make sense of the memories that come creeping back, threatening her sanity and her safety. Meanwhile, Kara's mother races against time to save the daughter she fears she will lose when a long-held secret is revealed. The hours tick away as her captor plays out his plan—to take Kara with him into death at the exact moment of their birth, never to be separated again.

Nail bitter of a thriller

WOW!! I am still in awe of this book. I love this author and listen to all of her romance books but this was the first thriller of hers I have listened to and this author can bring it. I was on edge waiting to see what would happen next and if Kara would escape her past. Roland was a disturbed man who began that way as a child and it never ended. His obsession with Kara was demented but steamed from his mother and childhood. I almost felt sorry for Roland. There are lots of twists and turns in this book and it is definitely a thriller. I enjoyed it and recommend it.

A.T. Chandler, and Jennifer Jill Araya were terrific. They both delivered a worthy performance as Roland and Kara and all the side characters to bring it all together.

Thriller

I had the pleasure of listening to the audiobook of Traces of Kara. And oh boy I really loved it. The narrators A.T. Chandler and Jennifer Jill Araya definitely brought this story to life. I was kept at the end of my seat from beginning to end. Kara (Marissa) has a twin Roland who she never met and talk about a first encounter. This story has so many twist and turns that keeps you hooked. I am excited that Melissa Foster did this thriller story which is completely different from her romance stories. I loved this and can't wait for more stories like this.

Gave me the shivers!

Traces of Kara is a psychological suspense by Melissa Foster. This story had me on the edge of my seat from the start. This genre is out of my comfort zone. I have read lots of Melissa Foster romance books before this one. The author’s writing is superb and has never disappointed me. Thrillers are not my typical read &/or audio. Traces of Kara has definitely shown me a different side to the author. I listened to the audio which is performed by A. T. Chandler and Jennifer Jill Araya. A.T. Chandler had the perfect voice for Roland. Jennifer Jill Araya was pretty weak for me. I didn’t feel Kara/Marissa come to life for me. If you like suspense/psychological then I highly recommend Traces of Kara by Melissa Foster.

WOW!

Wow! That was an intense storyline! Definitely not what I usually read but Melissa wrote it very well! Great as always from her.

An Amazing Thriller

Audiobook Review: The narrators of this book are perfect. They brough Kara and Roland to life as I listened to Melissa Foster’s story. I found myself looking for times that I could listen and not wanting to stop. This book is wonderful. The storyline pulled me in, and the narrators kept me listening.

Kara and Roland are interesting characters Kara has no memory of Roland and Roland is obsessed with Kara. The web that Roland weaves is so twisted that I was not ever sure that anyone would come out the other side of it. I needed to know more of their history and as it all came together I was appalled, I was scared, and I was in awe of how it all came together.

Melissa Foster wrote a suspense thriller that I could not put down. I love that an author that I know as a romance has skills in writing thrillers as well.
