Story4.5 out of 5 stars 128
Losing people you love is hard. Aurora De La Torre knows moving back to a place that was once home isn’t going to be easy. Starting your whole life over probably isn’t supposed to be. But a small town in the mountains might be the perfect remedy for a broken heart. And checking out her landlord, across the driveway, just might cure it too.

Slow story, no chemistry
Reviewed: 2022-02-23
Liked the female narrator. Found it weird to have a male narrator only for the one characters dialogue but if the narration had been good it would have been fine. This man is very monotone.
I'm almost seven hours in and honestly have to call it quits. Very slow story and absolutely no chemistry between the two main characters to the point that I decided it wasn't worth listening to another ten hours as I don't care if they got together or not. Six hours in and she's been calling him "Mr Rhodes" in both her outer and inner dialogue, which is giving him some very creepy teacher/older man vibes. Lots of air time to everyday tasks that don't add to the story in any way.

Meet Aimee Sinclair: the actress everyone thinks they know but can’t remember where from. Except one person. Someone knows Aimee very well. They know who she is and they know what she did. When Aimee comes home and discovers her husband is missing, she doesn’t seem to know what to do or how to act. The police think she’s hiding something and they’re right, she is - but perhaps not what they thought. Aimee has a secret she’s never shared, and yet, she suspects that someone knows.

Unfortunately, I found the main character to be rather pathetic with a very tiring inner monologue. She has the chance to tell the truth and change her situation way too many times and is extremely self deprecating and gullible. Not that much of a twisty ending as there are only so many characters.
Enjoyed the beginning but quickly became tired of the main character and her poor decisions, as well as the actions of certain characters that were disturbing. The first book by this author was better.

Beck is everything Joe has ever wanted: she's gorgeous, tough, razor-smart, and sexy beyond his wildest dreams. Joe needs to have her, and he'll stop at nothing to do so. As he begins to insinuate himself into her life - her friendships, her email, her phone - she can’t resist her feelings for a guy who seems custom-made for her. So when her boyfriend, Benji, mysteriously disappears, Beck and Joe fall into a tumultuous affair. But there's more to Beck than her oh-so-perfect façade.

Creepy in an entertaining way most of the time
Reviewed: 2019-01-14
Great start ! All from the male's point of view and his inner monologue is entertaining. I was hooked at the beginning and the things he did kinda made sense in some weird way and you started rooting for him in some weird way.
Then he started being less entertaining - found myself rolling my eyes more or yelling at him to make a better decision. The ending was not satisfying but I guess you knew where it was going to go eventually.
Great narrator !

In The Power, the world is a recognizable place: There's a rich Nigerian boy who lounges around the family pool; a foster kid whose religious parents hide their true nature; an ambitious American politician; a tough London girl from a tricky family. But then a vital new force takes root and flourishes, causing their lives to converge with devastating effect. Teenage girls now have immense physical power: They can cause agonizing pain and even death. And, with this small twist of nature, the world drastically resets.

Halfway through and I am interested to see how it will finish. Wish there was stronger character development because right now I don't care about the individual characters stories but in general what will happen to the world. Fantastic performance though - the accents are really good ! #Audible1 Will finish listening but don't think I will get another book from this author.

Very interesting concept and found the majority of the book entertaining. Likable main character and you really cared what happened and how things turned out. However, I found the ending to be a bit of a cop out - felt silly in a way. Still, an interesting story of time travel. #Audible1

Super interesting concept for a story and while I found it entertaining I could not connect enough to the characters to care how anything turned out for them. Finished it and enjoyed the idea but it dragged in certain places, again, because I wasn't sure I cared what happened. #Audible1

Cool perspective
Reviewed: 2018-09-13
Very entertaining story from a cool perspective. Interesting and different characters - appreciated the amount of female voices. There was just enough science background to make it believable but not too much to be overwhelming. The first half is more intellectually interesting while the second half has more action; not sure how I feel about the ending but it made me think. Found myself yelling at some characters in certain scenarios but that is normal for this genre - someone always seems to do something stupid in order to further the plot. Enjoyed listening to the narrator and the different voices for the characters was believable. Would recommend. #Audible1

Entertaining story full of fun voices
Reviewed: 2018-09-13
Entertaining space story with an excellent narrator. Found myself wanting to listen more than normal and ended up finishing in 3 days. While I enjoyed this book I am not sure if I will purchase the next book in the series. To be clear, this can be a stand alone story and while there is clearly more that will happen next I didn't feel so connected to the characters that I absolutely need to know what happens next. Good amount of action and introspection and fun references. Loved the main character but again did not feel a strong enough connection to want to know what happens next. Glad I listened to this book though! #Audible1
