I really don’t feel like that happens enough anymore.

But this book, Before She Knew Him, shocked me. He unfolded everything but 2 little things I never saw coming! I was really shocked that I listened to a 10 hour audiobook so quickly! Swanson has really developed a fan in me with his last two books. He had me questioning who to believe and then, he let me in on MOST of the secret. Swanson creates these really twisted characters. Now, two days later I’m standing here shocked that I’ve listened to this audiobook from start to finish within 24 hours. I’ve been counting the days til it’s like. Really, I think I’m going to need Peter Swanson to start producing these books a bit quicker! I had this beauty preordered on Audible since January.
