As with many books lately, I took one look at the cover of To Die For by Lisa Gray and knew I had to read it. Never mind I also loved the title and the tagline, because let's be real, I think some of us would do some crazy things for a million bucks. This was a jaw-dropping, fast-paced ride that I finished in 1 day because I had to know whodunnit and how all these characters would tie together. There were quite a few to keep track of and at first, I did find myself struggling a bit to remember who was who, but once I caught on I really enjoyed the various viewpoints. This story is filled with never-ending drama and loads and loads of secrets that will finally all be known to the reader. Basically, the only person with nothing to hide was Detective Aribo, and while I feel like this made him one of the least 'interesting' characters, I still loved him.

And speaking of things to die for (see what I did there?) the audiobook has a full cast of narrators and Eva Kaminsky, Samara Naeymi, Andrew Eiden, Michael Crouch, JD Jackson, David de Vries, & Susan Dalian all blew my mind with how excellent their narration was. There wasn't a single one that I thought didn't fit their character or offer something to the story. Needless to say, but I'm gonna say it anyway, I highly recommend the audio of To Die For as the preferred reading method. I also think this is a wonderful book to go into as blindly as possible, and I do not regret not looking at the synopsis beforehand. Gray's writing really sucks a person in, and I immediately put her entire backlist on hold at the library. Last words from me to you are to read this book, you will not regret it!

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
