This was totally preposterous. I have liked Hendricks and Pekkanen’s other works. But this was silly, depending on a major suspension of belief. There’s a good reason audible was giving it away for free.
SMALL CHOICES CAN CHANGE THE COURSE OF YOUR LIFEAn “oh so clever” 2 hour Audible Original, narrated by Kate Mara, and written by one of my favorite writing DUOS.The title is a DOUBLE entendre too! Wanna Getaway?
This short novella was just an o.k. listen for me. The main character, Chloe, was sure slow on figuring out that things were not as they were advertised.Stressed out and unemployed after leading a political campaign, Chloe signs up for a yoga retreat. The photos and endorsements sounded good, just what she needed.However things immediately start to feel suspicious when the driver that picks her up turns out to be Sebastian, the leader of the retreat. It is also eerily quiet in the large house, w...
I listened to the audible original “The Getaway” written by the dream team of Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen, narrated by Emily Bauer. For me, it was an OK listen. I think I expected more from the authors, given their previous endeavors. The creep factor is fair. The main character, Chloe Powell seemed too ignorant to be believable. She’s a press secretary for a losing candidate and needs a break. So she falls for this too good to be true weekend retreat. She’s duped into strange situations....
Free with Audible Plus, The Getaway is a novella with an ambiguous title. It’s an extremely fast paced thriller. Although the story was somewhat predictable, it was still good and definitely creepy. It was well developed especially given its length and the narrator did a great job. 3.5 stars.
Holy @#$&%!!!!!! This scared the bejesus out of me😓😨Quick fun read. Free novella from Audible+ for anyone who subscribes
Nothing to see here. Just another super attractive but psycho male doing controlling things story. It was impressive that so many unrealistic events could be stuffed into a 2 hour audiobook.Giving credit where it's due - the narration wasn't linear and had a couple nice surprises. Quality writing, just worn out on the content. 2.5 stars, and a generous round up.
A super-popular suspense writing duo churned out a little novella for Audible to give away as a freebie for their members. If you like long-form thrillers by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen, it's a totally fine listen. Kate Mara ("House of Cards," "A Teacher") narrates the story of a woman who goes on a retreat in the remote woods to recharge her batteries. BUT - you won't believe this - all is not what it seems and coocoocachoo things happen. If you don't like long-form thrillers by Hendrick...
Creepy and clever...
“𝑺𝒎𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒔 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒔𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒆”A short read, but one packed with loads of suspense and tension! Chloe Powell, a burnt out, former press secretary, is in desperate need of a break from her stressful life. So when she comes across an alluring yoga retreat poster she decides it was a sign from the universe. But when she gets to the quaint, isolated getaway and meets its charismatic founder Sebastian, she soon realizes that there is more to the mysterious man and his retreat than m...
This is a fun little diversion if you are looking for a 2.5 hour audiobook escape that is suspenseful and fast paced. I enjoy these two authors and it was fun listening to a shorter story because it got straight to the point and the action. As always with these two, the idea is totally original and twisted. The twist towards the middle was totally unexpected (at least to me) and fun. With a very innovative premise and a couple of very strong and interesting female characters who are smart and ca...
Wow. This was good.The Getaway was a pretty good short mystery. A lot happened within 2 hours that I wasn't fully prepared for. The twists and turns just kept getting better and better. Heck, even the cliffhanger ending kept me on the edge of my seat. No idea if there's going to be another novella or not but I wouldn't be mad if there was.This book definitely made me think twice before going to any yoga retreat. Maybe any retreat.. unless there's wine? The thing that made me proud was watching t...
Very entertaining! This is a quick mystery that had me hooked from the start. I would definitely recommend if you like this author duo and intriguing thrillers. Fun and fast paced!
I'm glad this was short. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good. It kept me mildly entertained while doing outdoor chores.
Meh... not very convincing, though somewhat thrilling. The beginning is very slow, the ending is rushed. Also, why give Chloe a background in politics if it doesn’t play any role, nor it gives her any hints that she should take all the red flags more seriously? Maybe it would have been more interesting if this would have been a longer book, as the authors would have had the time to develop the story and build up the tensions. Maybe. Or maybe not.
2.5 🙄🙄 when women are clueless but it was a distracting getaway in the middle of the night when I couldn't sleep stars.Definitely causes the reader to feel her superior intelligence in such matters.
