Review #12: The Silent Ones by K.L. Slater

This book took me less than a day to read/listen via Immersive Reading on Audible/Kindle. Really easy to follow, and I was really rooting for the characters. I did guess a bit of the story ahead of time, but I'm guessing that's due to my analytical ways rather than the authors fault. Here's what I thought:

Narration - 8/10   Storyline - 8.5/10   Ease of Listening - 9/10

As I said earlier, the story was really easy to follow, despite the fact that there were some chapters that were written by in first person perspective of Juliet and there were others written in third person. There was an aspect within the book that I could guess, but on the same wave there was more than one twist that I didn't see!

I was really rooting for both Juliet, as I saw myself in the character at times, and the children, because even though I'm not a parent, I felt the same pull that I feel with the 4 nephews I had, which really highlights the talent of the author to invoke such a feeling. 

I enjoyed using immersive reading for this book, more-so I think because I was really invested in a good ending. I was not disappointed. I also liked the fact that there was a "one month later" AND a "three month later", it really added a dimension to the whole story. 

I'd really recommend this book as an easy read! I'm not sure everyone would agree, but there's my opinion. 

Stay safe,

Steph 💚

DNF: Elske by Cynthia Voigt

This book held so much promise... But alas, I got half way through and just couldn't get any further. Nothing happened. The start was so...
