Never Knowing

Never Knowing is about Sara, who was adopted at birth.  She had always dreamed and wondered about her birth parents.  In her mind they were loving and caring people who would open up their hearts and they would become a happy family.  Unfortunately, Sara’s background it not what she had dreamed of.  She did get one of her wishes, her father wants to get to know her but unfortunately he is the Camp Site Killer!

After reading Still Missing by Chevy Stevens I had to listen to her next book, Never Knowing.  I was so excited to listen to it because I had loved Still Missing so much that I was dying to listen to her next book.  Well, I have to say I am a bit disappointed.  I think that the story line is really good but, but there is something off with the narration.  Never Knowing is narrated by Carrington MacDuffie.  This is the first time that I have listened to her narration and it just did not seem to work.  There are similarities between Angela Dawes narration of Still Missing, and Carrington MacDuffies narration of Still Missing; both seem to be a bit monotone, and have lower voices.  Where the narration of Ms. Dawes worked for the storyline, MacDuffies just seems to be distracting and unbelievable.

Whether the difference between the two audiobooks is the storylines, or the narrations, Never Knowing does not have the same intensity of Still Missing.  If you listen to Still Missing, I would defiantly listen to a book in between the two titles.  I will still recommend Never Knowing, how can you go wrong with a book that has a dad for a serial killer?  Would you meet with your long lost dad if he was a serial killer;  if it meant you would save lives? Even if it meant risking your own life and the life or your child?
