  • Summary

  • First this mysterious donor turns up dead in hospital. Sad for him, but I finally get my heart transplant. So yay for me? Well, yeah. except that's when the violent memories start. The crazy behaviours kick in. And then these INSANE new spy skills. Just as life was getting back to normal, suddenly I've got a crush on my best friend. I'm in trouble with the polce. On the trail of a mysterious object. And all while still in rehab. Bad enough for any 16-year-old, right? Well next I'm top of a secret agency kill list. They want me dead, and they aren't for sparing the guns and helicopters. Which means only three things matter now: Who was my donor? Why does this agency want me dead? And will I survive long enough to uncover the truth? If you like your spy fiction predictable and dad-bod-slow, opt out now, 'cause you're not gonna make it. But if you don't take life and death too seriously... then maybe we can fight, run, throw up and try not to die together. My name's Lorna, by the way. Want to join me? TRULY DEADLY is pure thrillseeking escapism, the fast, funny thriller series listeners are calling “Cherub meets Bourne”. It's an action movie in an audiobook, now in a podcast. Narrated by the superb Ella Lynch. If you like YA spy fiction with an original twist, you’ll love blazing through this super-addictive show. *Recommended for age 16 and up. **Not for the faint-hearted. ***May cause sudden laughter, startling small animals and birds.
