Super Realistic!
A post-apocalyptic tale of social-economic collapse, survival, deadly political games, and a serial killer in the guise of a public official keeps this story entertaining and frightening. Given today’s economy and political divide, this story hits close to home. Haven Segreti must decide her future and the future of all those she cares about. Agonizing, she discovers that each of her desires will require a different decision and they will have severely conflicting results!
The author, Julie A. Fragoules weaves a story pulling from today’s headlines and political unrest to create this story. It is engaging and horrifying at the same time. As the listener, one cannot help but make connections between events in the book and current-day events. Fragoules is clever and talented at subtly hitting very close to home with the subject matter. Further, the characters are intense and distinct. The plot twists are well executed and not always expected. The building of the storyline and character development is deliberate and slow.
The narrator, Randy McCarten, delivers a smooth and sharp performance capturing and projecting the personality of each character in vivid detail. The quality of his performance further enhances the story capturing the imagination of each listener and the personality of each character.
This is an interesting and captivating story, but it hits very close to the real situation at home which makes it more horrifying.
