Integrity by E.J. Noyes
3.0
The chapter headings almost deserve a star all their own. :)
I've taken a few days to gather my thoughts on this one and just want to write something a little more detailed down so I know if I want to continue with the series or ever re-listen to this.
The things I enjoyed were the main character's integrity and desire to bring justice to bear on the people who committed the atrocity she was privy to; her sense of humor; her badass intelligence and tactical savvy as well as the ability to ass-kick when needed; her mistakes and slip ups which added a realistic feel; and, unsurprisingly, Abby Craden's performance.
The things I found wanting were the romantic relationship (there was an ambiguity that I believe was intentional to make you question its authenticity but it was too mild and undeveloped to hit the mark); the pacing of the plot (not everyone call pull off a Phone Booth masterpiece of tension and suspense, I know); and the repetitiveness of stated worries and concerns.
Weighing the things I enjoyed against the things that left me unfulfilled has left me ambivalent about continuing the series and feeling that I won't re-listen to this one in the future but am not sorry that I spent the time and money on it for the first listen.
