About this listen

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU LIED?

The first lie: MONSTERS DON’T EXIST.

When the body of a man is discovered in the Boston Common, Martina finds herself entering a horrific nightmare. She discovers evidence of the unimaginable: the resurgence of ancient methods of persecution being carried out by a Puritan-indoctrinated serial killer who believes the devil walks among us.

The second lie: YOU WOULD KNOW A MONSTER IF YOU SAW ONE.

After the first victim is dismissed as gang-related, Martina fears there is more to the murder than meets the eye. Her instincts are soon proven correct when another victim is found, her body displayed in the same gruesome manner. But Boston has dark secrets of its own. Now, the threads of the past are unraveling once again as history repeats the sins of our fathers. A time when religion reigned and the word of God was the ultimate persecutor.

The third lie: YOU CAN SAVE EVERYONE.

Just as Martina and her partner, Neil, discover the dark rituals have a link to the past, the tables are turned, and they are pitted against time to stop the "Wingmaker" before he strikes again. Martina’s faith will be tested as she fights her own demons and more bodies continue to mount. Can she stop the killer, or has the next victim already taken flight?

Virtual Voice Does Not Work with this Book

It is really hard to listen to this book using Virtual Voice. The chapter headings are in Roman Numerals. Virtual Voice does not recognize these and reads them out as C-H-A-P-X-X-I-V. The author also uses AAVE (?) for a couple of characters, which Virtual Voice just sounds wrong. I don't know how else to say it. I understand what the author said but it did not flow.

Speechless

What a crazy roller coaster of a read! When you think you have the code cracked, BAM! a twist throws you in a different direction. I really enjoyed this psychological thriller/mystery. Definitely has some sinister elements to it. (If you don’t like or can’t handle descriptions of bodies being muti1ated, this isn’t for you.) The story was well put together with great character development. This rolled through my head like a movie taking place. My first book from this author and won’t be my last!
-historical religious indoctrination
-gruesome d3aths
-chilling details
-satanic beliefs
-banter between detectives

The virtual voice

I found the use of virtual voice, totally distracting. The inflections were wrong. Some pronunciations were wrong. There was no emotion to the voice. I think it totally ruined the story for me.

Not a fan.

Spelling of chapter, number and biblical verses at the beginning of each chapter was very disruptive to the storyline.
