This was a great audiobook! My husband and I listened to it on a long car ride. He is not a big reader but really enjoyed it as well! I was happy to see him hooked from the very beginning and choosing to listen to this over the radio.

Katelyn is an evening radio host specializing in song dedications and anti-dedications. She starts to receive letters from a stalker referring to an incident in her past. She tries to brush them off but eventually can no longer hide from the notes. 

This book kept me guessing and while I was eventually able to figure out some of the mystery I was always intrigued and wanting to know more. I really connected with the characters.

Overall I enjoyed this one but there were times I was left with a feeling of unease because there were too many different tangents going at the same time. Kaitlyn Ashe has been working in Philadelphia for a few years after moving around for several years after a life altering event in her teens. Now she is the happiest she has ever been, she is in love, and her career is on a high point. Then the letters start coming. She has a stalker...Then the phone calls...And then she is run off the road. Who could be doing this? She has a secret but it really becomes deadly when her fiance is killed in her driveway. Will the police figure this out before it is too late?  As stated before, so many twists and turns and you don't find out who until the end. I had this one is audio and the narrator was okay.

**Received this ARC in audio form for review from the publisher via NetGalley**

Thank you #netgalley for the ALC of the book.
Kaitlyn Ashe is a successful radio jockey. She has a show that is one of Philly’s best. But she also has a secret. She was someone who ran from her past, and assumed a whole new identity in the process, and the very past comes knocking, slow at first, then very insistent. It encroaches into her life, almost kills her, but then escalades to killing people she cared about. All because of something that had happened 16 years back. She comes face to face with her past, and has to relive it through what her stalker puts her through, until the ultimate showdown. 
The book progressed slow in the start, meandering to the past but never quite addressing what and how and why it had happened. And that is answered only towards the end. Would you suspect the culprit... yes. There were obvious signs and it wasnt like the reveal was a a shocker. 
The narrative was split between that of Kaitlyn, the said culprit and also was shared by Rodney, the investigating officer. I wasnt keen on the personal life aspect thrown into the mix, and was certainly notok with how things went one night after all the talk of how Rodney saw her and felt about her. 
The ending was ok. And the actual cause, past and the whole shabbang made sense but did not exactly justify why she was always on the run...

Thank you to Netgalley and CamCat Publishing for this ALC of Dead Air. I ended up really enjoying this audiobook, the suspense was steady and the plot was never given away until late in the story. The narrator was fantastic! She had a great reading voice and kept me entertained throughout the book.

The story was great.  I was hooked fairly early on and it made my car trips so much more enjoyable.  The narrator was great!  I will be looking for the same narrator for other books for sure.  Great infliction, emotion, and more to keep you from losing focus on the story. 

While there weren't as many unsurprising twists as expected it was still a very enjoyable book.

Dead Air was narrated by a single voice. Rachel Fulginiti was nice to listen to, her voice was well suited to telling this story.

The story was a compulsive listen, it hooked me straightaway. 
This was a brilliant suspense thriller, I'd guessed the reveal of Dead Air but the story was still gripping.
Michael Bradley wrote this really well and his skill is impressive.

Dead Air was much more than it’s title suggests for me. I enjoyed listening to the audiobook of this Michael Bradley book, I found the plot entertaining and loved the beginning few chapters the most. I could picture the city and the radio studio well and the main character was likeable even though troubled. I did feel the characters could have been developed more, although his background was spoke about I felt I didn’t know a lot about the police officer, Rodney so found it hard to really connect. With a little more character depth this book would have been more captivating to me. 

The narration of this book was perfect, I loved how she got Kaitlyn’s “radio voice” just right and how much it contrasted with the rest of the reading

This was an enjoyable audiobook.  The narrator was perfect and the story was very engaging.  Definteley made my car journey much more interesting. Thank you.

I really enjoyed this story. I found the plot refreshingly original. The author captured the atmosphere of a local radio station well and the characters were well developed. The heroine was likeable, and I liked the fact that the villain wasn't just some madman, but someone whose sense of justice went sideways. The relationships between the characters was believable. The narrators voice was perfect for this book...silky...smooth. Very pleasant to listen to.

I loved the book. Well-written, great characters, excellent narration.

I listened from start to finish in one go.

This book was decent. I loved the narrator she was so easy to follow along with! 
The story itself was good. I enjoyed this book but about 50% of the way through I figured out who the psycho was. Which made listening to the rest of book hard. LoL 
Overall it was good! 

★★★/5 
Thank you NetGalley, Publisher & Author for this complimentary e-book.

I was able to guess the killer from way to early. Also at about 4.5% the author describes two elderly women as “African-American and Caucasian” which in today’s age are NOT needed words. No other characters “race” is described. He could have simply put “Two elderly women stepped out of their vehicle”

Three can keep a secret, but only if two are dead.

Dead Air is written by Michael Bradley. It is full of Mystery, Murder and Suspense.

Spoiler : Kaitlyn is a DJ in Philadelphia and ready to settle down with her fiancee. When a sudden flood of anonymous letters threatens her seemingly charmed life, she realizes that someone out there knows. But who? As the threatening letters escalate, Kaitlyn’s life spirals toward a reunion in the one place she’d hoped to never visit again: The Shallows. Kaitlyn plays a deadly game of cat and mouse with a mysterious killer who will stop at nothing to get revenge.

Book review: the intro was fantastic and plot was mysterious too but the characters were dull.
Narration was good. And thanks to Netgalley for giving me a chance for reviewing this book.

Kaitlyn, professional radio DJ, is haunted by both a childhood secret and a stalker in the present. At first it was just a few threatening letters, then things escalated, and Kaitlyn’s life, and everyone’s around her, was in danger. She hasn’t told her secret to anyone, even her husband, so who is out their risking their own life to expose her secret?
Listening to this as an audiobook, the first thing I have to say is that the narrator’s voice seemed very false at times which took away from the enjoyment of the story. She struggled with the men’s voices but did well building tension with description.  I feel the book was successful in building suspense and the alternating between narrative voices of characters was perfect for having a break between the action. I did find it hard however to sympathise for Kaitlyn when everything could have been avoided by her contacting the police right at the beginning or just telling the truth. Yes, she felt she didn’t want to taint her view of Jessie by admitting that he tried to rape her, but as he was dead, she wasn’t in contact with his family, and she had changed her identity, it would have been okay to reveal the secret to the police.  
Despite there being a good build-up of tension, easily working out who the stalker is very early on puts a downer on the suspense. Overall, was entertaining and a good concept for a book, just needs to be executed better with more depth and improved narration.

I really don't like giving bad reviews because the author went to a lot of work to create something personal and vulnerable in the hopes that people would like it and enjoy it. I appreciate Netgalley allowing me to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

Regretfully, this book goes down as the worst book of the year for me. It gets one star because that's the lowest rating possible, it gets another star for the plot and writing style. I almost wish I had reviewed the ebook version because then I could have done a word count of the times the word "shallows" was spoken. It has to be astronomical. I believe Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper sang the word less times in the making of the movie "A Love Story". 

The story itself was the worst crime story/ series of events I could have imagined. Since I couldn't fast forward I set the speed of the audiobook to double time around chapter 30. By this chapter I felt no empathy towards Katlyn and began rooting for her stalker to succeed and put the book to its death along with Katlyn's. By the time the book ended, all I felt was immense relief that it was over and I didn't care what happened to anyone but the poor guy on the garage floor who was tied up. 

I don't usually include anything that could spoil the plot but these were quite ridiculous. For those of you not wishing to spoil the book (good luck!). 

<spoiler>After the stalker attempts to take Katlyn's life, Brad lets her go into her dark house, alone, at night while he waits in the car and looks at his phone. 

After Katlyn receives call from her stalker while in a "safe" place overnight, the police allow her to go home, alone, and return to her house where the previous crime took place. 

Once Katlyn finds something missing from the drawer in her bedroom, she decides to go for a run, alone, outside... where the stalker might be. 

Once again with police she is finally going to talk about what happened at "the shallows"... never mind she decides to give the lie she told the authorities the night of Jessies' death. 

Hey there's a letter on the house from the stalker; let's go in and have a drink or three. 

The sliding glass door is broken, "stay away from the windows and stay in the house!" Hmmm look it's Julie who just happened to have seen the whole thing happen and couldn't chase the suspect down. 

Rodney gets ready to call the forensics team but no, poor Katlyn is tired of having people in her house and wants Rodney to work out of his job description and collect the evidence himself. 

The slider is shot out, but with nothing available (that we know of), Rodney states he secured the door and nobody is getting in. 

How about some whiskey and wine while I reads out loud the book "50 Shades of Gray" until the killer returns. 

You remind me of my daughter
my fiancé was just murdered and lies dead in a drawer at the morgue
want to make out and have sex? 

The next morning I am filled with regrets and desire. Let me continue to lie her naked because I'm afraid to be alone. Wait, there's someone in the cemetery, let me go investigate without waking up the police detective asleep in my bed. 

Here's an iPad with video surveillance that police agencies use, let me tell my partner, who drives a beetle who Katlyn will be staying with tonight. 

I can smell stale cigarettes on the suspicious DJ but not on my partner who has taken up chain smoking in her spare time. 

I hear someone moaning in a garage, let me investigate without calling for back up. 

I find a body on the floors, let me untie them without calling for back up. 

The killer gets away, let me chase them without calling for backup. 

I made bad choices while intoxicated last night, got anything to drink? 

Now that 5 people are dead because of me I guess I should tell the truth of the shallows. 

Who cares...
</spoiler>

I really enjoyed this. The characters are well though. And it’s a real page turner. The narrator was very good & portrays the novel amazingly. Can’t wait to read more by this author.

While I am very grateful to Michael Bradley and CamCat Publishing for giving me and ARC of this audiobook, I agreed to do so in exchange for an honest review so honest I must be...

The premise was fantastic but the plot was scattershot and the characters were flat.

The narration was kind of creepy and not in the good way.

Again, I am grateful for the opportunity to read and review this audiobook via NetGalley, I just wish it had worked for me.

This is a great book! I don't recall reading any of Michael Bradley's books but this one I truly enjoyed. It was well-written and kept my interest. I kept going because I wanted to know what was going to happen. I do recommend this book!

An interesting murder mystery told from both points of view of the pursued and the pursuer. A nice mix of characters and suspects that keep the reader guessing for the first half of the book and then ramps up the action and tension for the remainder which rises to a terrifying climax at the Shallows

I found the added narration from the perpetrator gave the book an interesting twist and this provided extra clues for those of us that love to work out who the killer is before the grand reveal.

Although this is set in the world of radio broadcasting there is very little of the plot that is involved with the radio station or the process of broadcasting itself - rather it is the characters outside of the station that take centre stage.

I feel that the added sub-plot of the GBT Killer was superflous to the main story and could've been removed without any detriment to the main story.

Are you meant to guess who the stalker is 25% into the book or do I just watch too many cop shows? Part of me feels like this should have been aimed at a YA audience but then given how detailed some scenes are it’s definitely more adult. 

I do think however it’s a great introduce into the ways a thriller can be. It shouldn’t be complicated but it should be suspenseful, enticing, engaging and this book was all of those things and so much more. 

This book was also very well written. I knew what was happening clearly in every scene, but I also didn’t feel like I was patronised or treated like an idiot while reading, I was told something once or twice and trusted to remember the information. 

This was read as an Audiobook Arc from NetGalley and it’s been a wonderful experience and a whole lot of fun.
