Passerby by Britney King
3.0
It’s more ⭐️⭐️.9 could be a ⭐️⭐️⭐️ for me
I was able to get an advanced copy of the audiobook thank you to the Publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to listen to the audiobook for my review.
Novel-
This was a very interesting book. I’m really finding myself getting into thrillers and I found this book to be exciting and yet quite confusing. Absolutely and 30% of the book I did not know what was going on. I wasn’t able to piece two into together until finally I really listened to what was going on. A lot of characters names were thrown around and did not make sense to me nor did I feel like storylines were needed. But once things started to piece together it did make sense.
I found the story to be a bit intriguing and it became fun and exciting to try to figure out what was really going. I felt that no one was really doing stupid things which was very good, I hate when characters make really stupid mistakes. I had such a fun time reading about Ashley, Cole and Ruth. I enjoyed everyone in this book.
I did feel like the timeline jumping from past and present was a bit All over the place. I would say that the author needed to let us know that it could have been two days prior or two months ago in order for you to really understand that they are talking about the past and not the present.
I really wanted to enjoy this book but I did find that by the end of the story I caught myself very confused, I think it was an expectation that since Ruth seem to have figured out everything and then plan for certain things to work out and it looks like it worked but we never got an explanation of how she figured out things who did what it was left almost open ended which made this book not a three star for me. I thought the epilogue would’ve explained everything but it really did it.
audiobook-
I thought the narrator was very good. I liked when she voiced Ashlee and Ruth‘s character, but I did have issues when she voiced the male characters. It really was not my favorite. At some point I could not tail between whether it was a male or female talking. And I felt like the male voices were very cheesy. Other than that I thought the narration was really good. I enjoyed hearing her sarcastic voice and when she would voice frustration, Irritation, fear, concern all of those emotions I felt the narrator did fantastic
Conclusion-
Overall I thought this book was a nice introduction to Britney King for me , I enjoyed the book and I look forward to reading more from this author. This book is a fast read, The audiobook was also a quick listen and I think a lot of people will enjoy this book, unfortunately for me I was a bit more confused they I would care to be.
Thank you to OrangeSky, Britney King and NetGalley for opportunity to listen to the audiobook in exchange for my honest opinion.
