  Cole seems to be one of the good guys, but is he? Or is our standard for "a good guy" too low?
   This was an interesting multiple-POV book. I'm so glad the publisher put the money into the audio that they did. It was rich and felt as if I'd read the book which is not just multiple POV but mixed media.
   The story was also good and kept me guessing. I wondered if Cole was a reliable narrator and what exactly was going on. I wish we'd gotten more of Cole's POV though, after the main events unfolded.

Narrator Rating: 5 stars
     All the narrators did an excellent job, and as said in the main review there were many and it made the book more immersive.

Extra ratings:   Fluff-0/5   Heartfelt-5/5   Helpful-3/5   Horror-NA    Inspiration-NA    Love aka Romance-NA    Mystery-2/5   Predictability-1/5    Spice-NA    Suspense-4/5   Tear-3/5   Thrill-3.5/5    Humor-NA

THERE IS NO GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION OF RAPE in this book. One of the characters has a rape fantasy which they talk about a lot, and there's the start of the fantasy play in the book. However, there is GRAPHIC animal death! He smashes a rabbit's head with a hammer and disembowels it!
