Impressive, worthy thriller!

I would really recommend this audiobook. It was suspenseful, interesting and got me hooked right from the start. I liked the main character, because she was realistically flawed, sentimental and real, but also smart.
The plot contains plenty of elements of suspense and even some supernatural creepiness. I loved the big, secret-filled country house that was home to the family. Our protagonist is a newlywed, having found her dream husband mid-life; along with wedded bliss comes a not-so-awesome stepfamily, with teenage kids and a meddling, snotty ex-wife. The characters were fairly well-drawn out, and I liked the realistic aspects of life in a blended family. When things start getting more and more strange, expect to be shocked and on the edge of your seat while our protagonist works out what is really going on- or does she? This was a fun, suspenseful thriller that kept me guessing, with plenty of characters to keep you engaged. Recommended!

Twisted thriller took me on a ride

If you could sum up The Stepmother in three words, what would they be?

Twisted, Fast-Paced, & Disturbing

This was great! I loved this book so much!

Who was your favorite character and why?

I thought Marlena was a great character. She directed so much of this story.

Which character – as performed by Karina Fernandez – was your favorite?

Gosh.... I was impressed with Karina's ability to do this book justice! I'm not sure I can pick just one!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I would just say... don't read this before bed. It might creep you out a bit too much to sleep.

Any additional comments?

I was so surprised by this book! I wish I hadn't waited so long to read/listen to it. It was just so darn great!! If you like books that mess with your head... listen to this!!

Narrator very good, whats with the nastiness?

Not sure why the hate for her...just hateful people i suppose. She does a very good job. Not too dramatic but but plays the part of the neurotic second wife perfectly. I wouldn't have bothered reviewing but for the mean natured negatives.
Im halfway through the story, and its very interesting and suspenseful. Im enjoying it thoroughly.
Again, she is a 42 year old British woman...she sounds exactly as she should sound. I think some people have old devices.

Happily Ever After?

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes ..Loved it

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Stepmother?

Well I do not want to spoil this book as I think listening to this and Girl in the Sea had me all tide up? They where both very good and entertaining. Forgive me for mixing up the characters in my last review.

Have you listened to any of Karina Fernandez’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Nope... Love narrator's job ! WAY TO GO KARINA FERNANDEZ ...YOU WORKED THIS DARLING!

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Happily Ever After?

Any additional comments?

Wow....

All I can say is this author sure likes to have tortured and murdered animals in her books. Not my cup of tea. Not to mention the pathetic main character . No one would stand for all the humiliation dealt the woman. Annoying and not enjoyable. Returning.

Psychological Thriller?

I kept waiting for the moment of suspense, although it never came. I continued listening because of the reviews...Unless I missed something, this just didn't have any real depth-There was so much that could have been taken out. A 'psychological thriller' that I didn't mind coming to an end.

Thoroughly Enjoyable

This was a fun read with a couple of surprises along the way. Light and entertaining.

ztidmore

it had a great plot I enjoyed all the way to the ending would read more of her books in the future.

so much build up for nothing

The story started with many questions building up and then it all just fell flat. Questions were great, but not all answered and the ones that were answered were extremely anticlimactic. I can't believe I wasted so many hours.

Narrator was great
