Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Kathleen McInerney's narration is the heart of Hate List. Her ability to convey Valerie’s inner turmoil with subtle yet powerful inflections brings the story to life. The pacing, though steady, never feels slow, maintaining a tense atmosphere that mirrors the protagonist's state of mind. Brown excels in depicting the complex emotions following such a traumatic event, but some scenes could benefit from tighter editing—specifically, a few overly descriptive passages detract from the overall flow. Despite this minor critique, Hate List stands as a compelling and timely piece of literature, making it a powerful choice for anyone looking to explore themes of resilience and healing.
