AUDIOBOOK ➯ WHAT DOESN'T KILL HER



BY CARLA NORTON

NARRATED BY CHRISTINE DELAINE




❐ Overall Rating 5 | Narration 4½
❐ Reeve LeClair #2
❐ Suspense Thriller
❐ Kidnapped. Held captive. Escaped...only to have the sadistic kidnapper escape custody years later
❐ Another deeply affecting story that can be difficult to read/listen


Upon finishing Book #1, The Edge of Normal, I immediately started Book #2...knowing that its focus was more on Reeve's story, I was eager to delve into it.  I seriously don't know how the author writes the scenes from inside the head of such sick, twisted individuals the way she does.  (There is an interview with Carla Norton at the end of The Edge of Normal audiobook that expounds on this, though.)  It is so deeply affecting...and thankfully not overly detailed graphically...because I probably couldn't have kept listening otherwise.  This second book was even more compelling than the first book was.

My issue with the first book with the volume not being high enough was fixed in this second book and I, although others have not liked the narrator's performance, found her to be fairly decent.  It just goes to show you never can tell how one person to the next is going to feel about someone's narration.  It could have been better, of course, with a different narrator for the male POV's.
