I absolutely loved The Binding which is what led me to The Betrayals. it was another rich story with dynamic characters and interesting ideas and I did enjoy listening to it. Did I love it as much? Not quite. The ending was a little abrupt and I felt there was a lot left unsaid. Having said that, it is still worth a listen and has a lot to offer.

An interesting and enjoyable book

I listened to the audiobook narrated by Sam Woolf, Sarah Ovens and Bridget Collins.

THE BETRAYALS is beautifully written, poetic, and moving, with a slight ethereal touch, all made so by the great narrations.

Beautifully written

Hard going at times but some real surprises as the story unfolds. The different narrators help to develop the sense of character.

An interesting twist and turn

I read the binding & knew I couldn’t move on from it. If captured me & made me think for weeks afterwards about what next. I’ve never had a book grip me like that so I HAD to download the betrayals to help me move on from the binding.

Well this didn’t disappoint, it takes a few chapters to get into it but once you’re in you can’t get out & im now left wondering what’s next! How do you do that? Is every book going to keep me up at night because they just end and I need to know more! A truly amazing book from start to finish

Another amazing story by Bridget

I have previously listened to The Binding (twice, and read the book cos I loved it so much!) so I was very excited to finally see Bridget Collins’s second book on audible. There are lots of similarities between the two stories: the historical setting, the flashbacks, the story of forbidden lovers and a fictional practice. In The Binding, books are not what we know them to be. In The Betrayals it is The Grand Jeu. However I never fully understood what the Grand jeu really was. It is like a musical masterpiece, like a symphony, but when they played the Grand Jeu there were no instruments and no orchestra. Although the love story was gripping and the book kept me hooked right to the end, wishing for them to be together, I was left with questions I did not feel the book fully explained. I loved the twist in the book. I really didn’t see that coming and it was very clever. Made me want to re-listen to spot the clues. Overall I would highly recommend this book but definitely check out The Binding. By far my favourite book on Audible.

Interesting and unique story with gripping love story and an interesting twist.
