About this listen
Abby wants a baby more than anything. But after years of failed infertility treatments and adoptions that have fallen through, it seems like motherhood is not in her future. That is, until her personal assistant Monica makes a generous offer that will make all of Abby's dreams come true. But it turns out Monica isn't who she says she is. The woman now carrying Abby's child has an unspeakable secret. And she will stop at nothing to get what she wants.

When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.

Story3 out of 5 stars 5
Shortly after marrying her soulmate and the birth of their son, the lies begin. First, it's the phone calls, always held in secret, always deleted from his phone. Then it's his odd disappearances and the little nagging voice in her head screaming: Something is not right. When Palmer follows her gut - and her husband - she catches him with an unfamiliar woman in the park and in his biggest lie thus far. Learning from her past, she hatches a plan to protect herself and their child.

Quinn Alexander has committed an unthinkable crime. To avoid spending her life in prison, Quinn makes a run for it. She leaves behind her home, her job, and her family. She grabs her passport and heads for the northern border before the police can discover what she's done. But when an unexpected snowstorm forces her off the road, Quinn must take refuge at the broken-down, isolated Baxter Motel. The handsome and kindly owner, Nick Baxter, is only too happy to offer her a cheap room for the night. Unfortunately, the Baxter Motel isn't the quiet safe haven it seemed to be.

Story4 out of 5 stars 74
Sydney Shaw, like every single woman in New York, has terrible luck with dating. She’s seen it all: men who lie in their dating profile, men who stick her with the dinner bill, and worst of all, men who can't shut up about their mothers. But finally, she hits the jackpot. Her new boyfriend is utterly perfect. He's charming, handsome, and works as a doctor at a local hospital. Sydney is swept off her feet. Then the brutal murder of a young woman—the latest in a string of deaths across the coast—confounds police. The primary suspect? A mystery man who dates his victims before he kills them.

Great but bad editing
One of my favourite books by the author, the suspense was fantastic, and the narrator was good, but the editing for it is so bad and takes away from the overall impact

Another great book by Freida!
Loved the story! Narrator is not my favourite but I’ve listened to a few books of Freida’s where she has done the narration and I’m used to her voice now.

Do not listen to this if you want to enjoy it
I don't know what it is about her books, they draw me in even though they are so cheesy and predictable. Everything that happened, I knew it! lmao. But, I am probably still going to read them because they suck me in and keep me reading/listening. Once again, the narrator choice sucked. I am really surprised that this made it through and costs almost $40 to listen to this on audible... because she sounded like she was in an empty bathroom with her family outside the door. There were times when I heard the faint noise of dogs barking. So yeah, I am definitely unimpressed. I'd opt for the actual book on this one! There were times where I was laughing at how stupid some of this book was. Laughing at dialogue and thoughts... All I could think half the time Abby was thinking out loud was "Duhhhh". It was a good read though

I wanted to love it
I could not wait to finish this book to just put it behind me. Although there was a bit of a twist, the book was so predictable and a storyline we’ve heard many times over. I really wanted to love this book because I like everything she writes but I’m glad it’s done and I can move on.

Alison Crawchuk is a TERRRRRIBLE NARRATOR
I’m sorry, but this story was totally ruined by the narrator. That was the absolute worst audiobook narration I have ever heard. She was practically whispering almost the whole book so I had to blast the volume to be able to understand what she was saying. It sounded like she was either doing this recording in her apartment and didn’t want any neighbours to hear or she was talking like she was whispering secrets in somebody’s ear. It was the strangest strangest narration and I’m so disappointed to see that my favourite author Freida McFadden has used the same narrator for a few of her books ugh! Please Audible, do not have this narrator doing any more books. She really truly ruins them. I’m sure she’s a perfectly nice person, but she’s not meant to be a narrator. Her voice is just very strange, she’s insanely soft-spoken, but not a talented actress type who can act out different parts and make the book come alive. This is not one of her skills I’m sorry to say. Pleeeease.
5/5 stars for the story because all of Freida McFadden’s stories are excellent IMO, 1/5 stars for the performance and therefore 3/5 overall sadly.
