THIS STORY MIGHT SAVE YOUR LIFE
By Tiffany Crum
Narrated by Julia Whelan & Sean Patrick Hopkins

Podcasting about survival is one thing—living it is another.

Best friends and podcast hosts Benny and Joy have built a career on survival stories—until Joy vanishes and Benny becomes the prime suspect. As secrets surface and time runs out, the truth behind their friendship may be the most dangerous story of all. I loved the banter between Benny and Joy during the podcast segments—it added humor and heart to the narrative.

This is an addictive, genre-blending mystery thriller with romantic undertones. The story is fast-paced and compulsively readable, pulling you from chapter to chapter as the suspense builds. I was thoroughly impressed by this excellent debut and will definitely be watching for what Tiffany Crum does next.

The narration was flawless and truly enhanced the listening experience. I’ve enjoyed both Julia Whelan and Sean Patrick Hopkins in previous audiobooks, and this was no exception—their performances captured the tone and emotions perfectly. The added multimedia elements in the audio further elevated the experience.

Thank you to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for the ALC.

This is a story from the heart. A second-chance romance on one level but on another an emotionally packed mystery. I listened to this awesomely narrated book and would recommend this format.

Joy Moore and Benny Abbott are podcasters. They have a serious following and are the best of friends until . . . . Benny finds she and Xander not in their vandalized home. Benny calls the police and reminds them Joy has been stalked by a fan. The story is told from Benny’s POV and Joy’s (some from the book she’s writing and later on in real time). We feel Benny’s desperation to find Joy and Joy’s need to flee from an untenable situation.

I liked the story. Mashing a mystery with a romance has been done before but there is a cleverness to this story. I think I liked how the mystery is more important than the romance but the romance is always underneath simmering. I also liked both Joy and Benny. Their vulnerabilities are endearing.

I’d like to thank NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for allowing me to listen to this ARC. Julia Whalen fans take note: she’s Joy and is oh so good. Sean Patrick Hopkins has nailed Benny.
