Not K.K. Best

This wasn't one of the best. I LOVE KK! It could be since this is an abridged version. I love this narrator.

Chapters and paragraphs missing

I usually go between audible and the actual book. audible is more convenient for drives etc but book is nice during lunch breaks . I noticed that this reader missed entire paragraphs and even some chapters ... wasn't a huge deal for me because I had the book so I could catch up. But def something to consider. the story line however is amazing karen kinsgbury has done it again.

Dane Matthews a Baxter by birth

A look into the life of the Eldest Baxter child who when forced by her parents was given up at birth and may never know his father and siblings. Narration was great but something seemed lacking in the storyline.

Redemption series preferred

So far I prefer the redemption series over this book. Once again I don't like how this audio version doesn't say the chapter number when beginning a new chapter. The narrator did a good job.
