I loved the way nothing was a foregone conclusion it twists and grips you to read on

What does Annie Aldington bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

The reader was superb , her accents on the different characters were so good.
I found that she made the book sound exciting and she was a pleasure to listen to

Good story to stop and start. Rather graphic but I enjoyed it! Narrator just right for the setting.

Same same syndrome

Loved the earlier books. They were fresh and exciting. She’s a fantastic author. However, I haven’t read anything of Martinas for 10 plus years, recently after discovering audible I downloaded the old “classics” as I would call them, having read and loved paperback first time round I thought it’d be great to listen to them second time round to get a better perspective. So having downloaded ladykiller, two women and goodnight lady I listened and loved once again. However, what I did pick up on and perhaps something I forgot from years back is the repetitive use of certain words/phrases. E.g ponse! I heard it 4 times in a prologue in one book and dread to think how many over the whole books. Avaricious 3 times in one chapter and then if I heard that’s a “f**k up to Olympian standards” 20 times in one book then I don’t know how many, it’s also featured heavily in every book. Stroppy mare also featured heavily. It just starts getting annoying. Also all the stories are starting to be so repetitive, rags to riches, turns gangsta, makes it big, loses it all and either dies, gets released from prison or lives happily ever after. The other thing is, I feel there is too much waffling on about each characters background and feelings. I understand the need for descriptive writing but I started drifting so much recently when trying to listen to revenge! In fact I am still struggling with it. My advice. Listen to the older books rather than the new and try and move past the over use of certain words if you can as she is an amazing author but is starting to grate...

Not for everyone

Great story, loved how it went into details of the families but way too much swearing the c word was also very much used.
I think some swear words are needed to portray the story but it was non stop and the c word way too often. made me wince a few times.
But if it had a sequel I would want to continue to know the next chapter in their lives.
It certainly didn't shy away from violence and was very much in detail which I actually enjoyed as for once it felt completely true in those circumstances and times.
It had twists that you had no idea were coming which was brilliant. I couldn't wait to hear the next bit and would escape so I could listen to it.
