My Opinion:

I had no idea this was a sequel.

Doesn't matter, it was still a decent audiobook.

There are parts in the story that are slightly disturbing so prepare yourself. I have to tell you though, I'm the type of thriller reader that loves the disturbing stuff. It's what scares you and keeps you reading. I've also learned not to do this kind of reading, home alone at night. Just sayin'.....

I felt bad for the main character in this story. His life, so tragic. I couldn't imagine how someone like that would feel if it was real life, and yet, I believe stuff like that happens too.

There were some very dramatic moments and I liked that. 

With it being an audiocopy, I'll tell you the narrator had a very hypnotic voice. Like one you would hear on the radio. Deep and nice. Very easy to listen to. Though I found myself drifting off in the very end. Maybe too dramatic at that point... 

Definitely an author I will look out for. Though maybe next time I'll start with the beginning of the series.... 

3/5
