I just didn’t really get into this audio bit which was a shame.  Just found it a bit slow for my liking.

I enjoyed the narration, my first audio book from NetGalley. The twists and turns had me on pins and needles.

The best part about this book is the narrator. I truely wanted to add this book to my 'did not finish' pile but I wanted to see if the glaringly obvious killer was really that obvious or if there would have been a plot twist at the end, spoiler there isn't.

The author attempted to seed an air of mystery into the book by dropping references into the book, repeatedly, and annoyingly. He also seemed to be able to develop the male leads much better then the female leads who felt plastic while reading.

The narrator was fine to listen to, personally I sped it up to 1.2x (which is normal for me) and it flowed well. I think the biggest takeaway from this book is foreshadowing doesn't need to be slammed into your face like a custard pie from the very start, small spoonfuls make it more enjoyable and less messy.

Thank you to NetGalley and CamCat Publishing for my copy of Dead Air by Michael Bradley, Narrated by Rachel Fulginiti in exchange for an honest review. It published June 9, 2020. 
This is fits right in with other novels of  suspense, that you can tell was written by and man and will definitely keep your attention. The narrator did a fantastic job! 
TW: Some language and gore.

Thank you NetGalley for giving me the chance to review this arc. I absolutely loved that this was an audiobook and a thriller it’s definitely getting me in the mood for spooky season. I loved the story and I definitely didn’t see the ending coming.

I have been loving trying new mystery/thrillers on audiobooks - making me use the time I was spending on chores/mundane stuff to actually useful while listening to the audiobooks! 

Dead Air is the latest audiobook to join my list of books I listened to on this format - a mystery/thriller told in multiple POVs from the victim as well as the perpetrator and the detective investigating the case - it should have been an intriguing and unputdownable read, but somehow the MC is unlikeable at times, and the plot is predictable at best. 

Laura, a mini celebrity; a DJ at a local Radio station has been receiving threatening notes for a few weeks now, hinting that her secret, one she has kept for most of her adult life. She is finally content with her life - a good job that she loves; a boyfriend she is in love with and a life that she loves living. 

But like I said Laura as an MC is quite hard to like - as a reader, I couldn’t understand why she wouldn’t be frank with her boyfriend, why she wouldn’t be honest with the detective who are just trying to protect her from a stalker - and even knowing the EXACT reason why she was being g stalked and threatened; it became all the more irritating that she wouldn’t share her past. 

I really was excited to read this one - but sadly it did fall short of my expectations.

This thriller originally piqued my interest as I have recently gotten into thriller audiobooks and wanted to read more about woman.  I picked out a few, and from those I was disappointed in most.  My issues with this one was it was too slow and I didn't feel thriller by it.  I think that a lot of people would enjoy this book, but I like more paranormal mystery in my thrillers so it was simply not the right book for me.

Kaitlyn is a late-night radio DJ in Philadelphia. She loves her new job, her new boyfriend. Well, let’s just say her whole new life! But there’s someone from her past that won’t let Kaitlyn move on.

This book just didn’t work for me. The premise was one that has been done repeatedly, providing little originality.
Some of the actions of the characters were so unbelievable, it was a struggle to continue.

I listened to the audio version of this book but sadly the narrator's tone was somewhat flat, unable to pump any life into the story-line..

This was not a good fit for me, hope it will work better for you!

Thank you to NetGalley and CamCat Publishing, LLC for an ARC to listen to🎧 and review

I received an advance reader copy of this book to listen to in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

Audio book version.
Laura is a dedication radio host on a popular radio station and has been receiving letters from someone hinting to a past she wants to keep hidden involving something that happened at 'the shallows'. Laura doesn't want to tell her fiance or the police about her past nor why she has changed her name. 

I guessed who the stalker was from the first few chapters and was correct in my assumption. I had high hopes for this book but was disappointed. I still can't understand why Laura kept all what happened a secret from the police and her fiance as what it turns out to be wasn't worth her not telling them. 

The narrator was lovely to listen to and did a fantastic voice audio of the book, but the book wasn't as great as I expected it to be.

Great book! The narrator was great. I loved the storyline but found it a bit predictable as I had figured out the killer about halfway through by all the clues. Still a great book though, thank you for giving me the opportunity to listen to this book!

You know how with most thrillers you will be guessing until the end who the "bad guy" is?  Well with this book you get the POV of the "bad guy" from the beginning, you just don't know who it is.  Then about 50% in you know who the "bad guy" is and you are on pins and needles waiting for them to figure it out.  Knowing who the bad guy is does not take away from the suspense/thrill from this book at all.  I really loved it! 

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for providing a free audiobook for review!

Great narrator. When notes start appearing and funny things happen on and off the air. This DJ can't understand what's going on and who is trying to drudge up the past.

I enjoyed this audio book and the narrator did a great job

Mmmm, not really my thing I'm afraid. I found Kaitlyn a bit irritating, the story too obvious and there were a few too many errors. Did not finish it.
Sorry to be so blunt, but an honest review is required! Many thanks to Net Galley, Camcat and Michael Bradley.

This is a suspensen novel about a woman receiving strange letters. After being stalked from months she beings to think that it may be related with somethign that happened in the past... when she was someonelse... Very entertainig

I enjoyed listening to the different voices of this story.  I did like the reader.

This story has a simplicity to it that made it easy listening.  

However, that same strength in this book is a weakness. It is repetitive and it tends to describe how people look rather than who they are.  That made the characters less interesting, as the characters didn't have depth to them, only looks.  It also makes their actions inexplicable.

Repeating "The Shallows" to make it seem threatening does not make it become menacing, only tedious.

Spoiler below.

There is a deus ex machina.  I do not appreciate that.  It could have been introduced in the story but wasn't.

Kaitlyn Ashe is one of the top DJ's in Philadelphia, but she is hiding from her past.  When she starts receiving anonymous letters, she is hesitant to say anything - until one shows up at her home.  The police are brought in and things begin to get creepier and bloodier.

This is more of a combination between a psychological thriller and a creepy detective novel.  I like it okay, but I guess I prefer less gore in my psychological thrillers.  I didn't think that the backstory/flashbacks were done well and I guessed the killer right away.  The second storyline of the serial killer felt like it was simply tossed in to try to throw readers off track .  I'm giving it 3 stars, but it is really 2.5 stars.

This was an interesting mystery with maybe a little too much going on in the plot. It's mainly a story about an even radio host who does an easy listening and request evening shift. She starts receiving odd messages - demanding she play certain songs and implying she needs to remember what happened in the Shallows. Slowly you learn what that means, why it means so much and what's really going on.

It's told from three perspectives - officer trying to figure out the mystery of the threats and the main character receiving them and, finally, the person who is sending them. But all three of these people have other things going on in their lives. Even though this was short, it felt a bit bogged down with the minutia of day to day life - other cases, showering, eating breakfast. Listening was a bit slow in certain areas but all in all, an intriguing mystery that I did enjoy.

I was disappointed by this book... I had really high hopes but only got a few chapters in before I decided I couldn't listen anymore. I felt it was way too elusive and repetitive (meaning the author kept writing the same sentence over and over). I also felt the narrator was not as engaging as some others I have listened to. This was not a bad book, but it was not for me.

Kaitlyn Ashe worked hard to become the top rated radio DJ in Philadelphia – and to leave her past well and truly behind her. Anonymous letters arrive.  Someone knows her darkest secret but who? The events that transpired at The Shallows will never be put to rest….

#DeadAir alternates between a first person point of view for the stalker while Kaitlyn and Rodney's chapters are in third. This kept the story interesting. The pacing was really strong until the halfway point when I figured out who the stalker was. 
I would recommend this book -it is a fast paced thriller with good characters and plot however I cannot say it fits suspense with  being so easy to figure out. 

I would like to thank #NetGalley for gifting me #DeadAir audiobookcopy of Dead Air to read in exchange for an honest review.

This novel was a waste of time. There were no redeeming qualities, but many faults. I don't like to beat a dead horse, as it were, so I'll simply say that you should skip this one.
