This story started out exciting. A retired special force sees a girl while jogging. She's being hunted by the government people and he helps her escape. She's gifted (sounds like X-Men?). Not sure what happened, if it's the character or audio. Checked out after 25%.

Stefan Bogdanski I actually liked it (book, not audio), but the thing about paranormal brain activity (I think the girl was part of an experiment that gave her her gift) was s little strange, as the rest of the story strived to be a modern thriller. Second book took that kind of paranormal stuff even further. Haven't started the third one yet.

Kay Huh! Good to know, thank you Bogi. I thought it's her natural talent that the govt wants to weaponize. 😀 I'm glad you liked both books.

Tay You should read it. It's an edge of our seat thriller and I actually think the second book is actually better. I wasn't as crazy about the 3rd book.

Anne Too bad the audio didn’t work for you Kay! I know the wrong audio can break a story for me. I might try the book.


Stefan Bogdanski I've never used an audiobook, so I can't say anything about that.

I actually liked both books, but decided I need a break before book 3. I need to be in the right mood for this particular genre before reading it.

Since there are 3 books in this series, maybe I'll give it another try. 🤪

I know right? Good audio can enhance a story. I wasn't crazy about this one.

Audiobooks are my go-to nowadays. 12/16 books I have to read next are audiobooks. 😁
