You're Next by Gregg Hurwitz narrated by, Scott Brick
This was a great edge of your seat thriller! It was just
what I needed to get me out of my reading slump; it was very hard to stop
listening!
When Mike was 4 years old his father dropped him off at a
school playground and told him he’d be back but he never returned and Mike
spent his whole life wondering why? And what happened to his mother? Now a
grown man with a child of his own strange things are starting to happen to him
and his family, Mike thinks he is being followed and from there things go from
bad to worse as history repeats itself in an awful way.
This book kept me guessing all the way to the reveal;
because Mike was so young when he was abandoned he has no clue about his
parents so he decides to hire a private detective to help him find out who they
were and what happened to them but this one decision changes his entire life.
After things get really bad Mike reaches out to his foster
brother Shep, (I loved Shep!) who is always there for Mike no matter what, I
don’t think Mike would have made it through without him and I loved his last
line in the book! Shep is a great character because we see in flashbacks what
it was like for him in foster care and how he and Mike bonded and became true
brothers but Shep is also a criminal and he and Mike had a bit of a falling out
but he was right there the minute Mike called him and that just endeared him to
me even more.
I don’t want to spoil this book for anyone so I don’t want
to give too many details away but if you are looking for a great thriller look
no further than this book. This was my first book by Hurwitz but it definitely
won’t be my last!
Scott Brick’s narration was as always amazing and he really
brought the pain, worry and anxiety in the characters voices to life
beautifully. I love Brick’s voice for mystery/thrillers he always gives a great
performance.
