About this listen

After taking a few weeks off work, Casey is presented with a new foster child: 14-year-old Elise, whose Mum left her at just five years old.

At first, she’s no trouble at all, that is until she falsely accuses another carer, Jan, of acting inappropriately towards her. It turns out this isn’t the first lie Elise has told – her previous carer was constantly following up allegations Elise had made of people bullying her, trying to have sex with her, or hurting her physically. With some reservations, Casey agrees to take Elise on long-term, but when she makes some dark claims about her mum, Casey doesn’t know whether to believe her. In any case, she is determined to find out the truth…

Really enjoyed this book. Casey always does everything possible to help every child she cares for and never gives up on any of them. I was happy that Elize got a happy ending after what she went through.

Another great memwa.

I loved listening to this book such a troubled teenager I'm so glad she was able to open up & confront what had really happened in her life

The only thing I can say about the narration is that the voice used for Tyler sounds a lot like horrid Henry from the cartoon and now I can't unhear it haha

I really struggled to listen to this. Actually quite liked the story itself, but wish I’d read it as the horrendous over the top over acted voices for the characters were so distracting they turned a good book into a chore, distracting me from the story itself. By chapter 3 I wanted to return the book as it was painful to listen to, but as I’d bought it a long while ago and only just got round to, it was too late. Disappointing, and won’t buy any books by the same narrator (checking library now in case I already have!)

Awful narration / voices

the novel itself is very interesting, however, the narrator completely ruins it to the point I can't complete the book. I have seen so many others complain about kate lock narrating.

narrator ruins it
