About this listen

 In a merciless summer of biblical heat and destructive winds, Gabrielle Fox's main concern is to rebuild her career as a psychologist after a shattering car accident. But when she is assigned a patient who is the most dangerous teenager in the country, she begins to fear she has made a terrible mistake...©2009 Liz Jensen (P)2009 WF Howes Ltd Suspense Thriller & Suspense
All stars
Most relevant
From the beginning, Gabrielle’s voice, bitter, but determined after a life-decimating accident, pulls you deep into the unstoppable unspooling of disaster. A remarkable piece of writing, tension building slowly at first until it hurtles towards the earth-shattering conclusion. At the centre of it all is Bethany, a foul-mouthed teenage killer and prophet.

Utterly absorbing to the final terrifying climax

I thought this would be a run of the mill thriller, but it was so much more. A psychologist with a past arrives at a mental institution for criminally insane children. Her new patient, Bethany, seems to be able to predict natural disasters. Can she really foresee them, or is the psychologist not as stable as she seems?

Religion, Mental Health and Armageddon!

Any additional comments?

This bears a few similarities to another Liz Jensen book - The Uninvited and it's another chillingly, gripping listen. Reccomended.

An enthralling listen.

What I love most about this audiobook is the brilliant narration - she brings this book to life. The story is interesting if a little dystopian & I was left wondering what would go on to happen to the characters after the book had ended. I've listened to this a few times now, even though I know the ending & I still find something new in it. Recommended if you can suspend belief & just go with the unusual story.

India Fisher did a great job lending the leading characters not only a voice - she brings Jensens enthralling story to life!
