Strange pronunciations

Occasionally unsettling and peculiar accent for Josie with such strange pronunciations of some words. It's incredibly jarring when they pop out in the otherwise relatively normal narration: awf for off, cawfee for coffee,
awfice for office. This really put me off and I was so disappointed as I love Betsy Reavley. Had to stop listening.

Awesome!

Must confess I'm a fan of Betsy's written work anyway.
This is 1st audio of hers I've listened to. Excellent storyline! Excellent. I know saying twists can annoy some people but this is twist galore! Couldn't second guess the way this went at all.
I said OH NO quite loudly at work at 1 point, my hubby came straight over with what's wrong. Thinking I'd done something at work. Told him why & he shook his head. Until I explained the plot & why I was shocked.
It was that good!
Def looking for more.
Narrator was very good, different accents & tempo as story picked up & calmed down.
Just excellent!

Very interesting

Interesting story. A bit slow at times but it still captured my interest throughout. The narrator did a good job but as a non native English speeker, it was sometimes difficult to keep up with Jacobs parts due to the accent.
Well worth listening to!

Great twist

I didn’t see the twist at all. Enjoyed the book. The narration was ok but a bit annoying with often strange pronunciations and the readers male voice was very grating and hard to listen to. However I am still glad I listened as it was a really good story.

You have to stick with it!

What did you like most about The Quiet Ones?

It took a while to draw me in but overall the story once it did grip really led you on. A couple of good twists that are hard to see coming and a good ending.

What did you like best about this story?

I felt the second half of the book was much better paced and better written than the first. That is why I said at the beginning to stick with it!

Which character – as performed by Suzanne Cerreta – was your favourite?

Really focussed on the main character.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Old sins cast long shadows!

Any additional comments?

I received this audiobook from Bloodhound Books in return for a fair review. I really felt at the beginning of the book that the author was using too much description and it took a while to grab me. But there came a point at which she seemed to have much more belief in her story and it really took off from there. Probably wouldn't have listened to it all if I hadn't been reviewing it but I am glad I did!

Stupid beyond belief

Without giving too much away the conclusion was outrageously unrealistic. I wish authors would do research before diving into story lines filled with medical inaccuracies. I don’t think i was supposed to laugh out loud at this book but i did, heartily at its silliness. Also the narrator was awful for this story too plumby and accents all over the place. I wouldn’t listen to this narrator again
