by B. A. Paris

Have you ever read a book via audiobook? I struggle a lot of times with listening to a book on tape because I am totally a visual processor rather than auditory. It is hard for me to really pay attention and absorb the information; however, I was still able to absorb some of the information in this one.

Paris is a great author in general and has you guessing in the book. I really enjoyed this story of Amelie and Ned. It does switch from Past and Present, which at times can be confusing. Amelie and Ned get married as Ned sort of tricks her into the marriage, but she blackmails him into giving her money if the marriage does not work out. They get kidnapped separately but are held hostage together. When they discover they are together, they explore their relationship and how Ned tricked Amelie and is not who he says he is. Many women disappear whether by death or just leave after encounters with him and he’s in the middle of a sex assault scandal. Ned is also very rich from a lot of family money which poses some issues for Amelie.

Amelie is finally released and Ned is dead. Definitely read this one for the twists and turns after Amelie survives being kidnapped. It gripped me even though audiobooks are not my fave. Five stars for sure.

How do you prefer to read? Audiobook or physical book? How is an audiobook different than a podcast?
