About this listen
In this pulse-pounding final installment of the Don’t Turn Around trilogy, which Kirkus Reviews called “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo for teens, a surefire hit,” Noa and Peter race across the country in their search to destroy Project Persephone before time runs out.
Noa Torson is out of options. On the run with the three remaining teens of Persephone’s Army, she is up against immeasurable odds. The group is outnumbered, outsmarted, and outrun. But they are not giving up. When Noa and Peter realize they can’t run anymore, and that Noa’s health is quickly failing, they know they must go back to where this began. But when they come face-to-face with the man who started it all, the question becomes, can they win?
This riveting final book truly ratchets up the action as Noa and Peter confront the evil that has chased them and won’t let them go.
We jump straight into the drama where the last book ended, with Peter rejoining Noa, and we're flung headlong into ever more high octane pursuits with cold hearted, gun wielding mercs who want nothing more then to capture and kill these terrified kids. We're introduced to interesting new characters, some who literally bring the crazy. All the while the window of time is closing for a grieving Noa as her deteriorating health also becomes a major obstacle. You can literally feel the fear, exhaustion, and frustration of Peter and crew as they try and figure out a way to stay alive.
The ending is well thought out and didn't suffer from feeling like a rush job, like so many other series endings.
The narrator does a fantastic job throughout the 3 books. She ensures that each character is nuanced, so the listener will be able to distinguish which characters are speaking. She uses a great pace for the action scenes, and delivers the conversational parts naturally.
I highly recommend this series, although not for younger then mature mid-teens (14+), as the subject matter and some descriptions would be disturbing for younger minds. I'm now gonna go search out all of the other works by the brilliant Michelle Gagnon.
Stands out as one of the most original YA series to date.
