Summary

When Carly Rosen is jilted on the eve of her wedding, she embarks on a startling journey of self-discovery. This gender-bending, risque retelling of the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, set in sizzling West Hollywood, echoes the ancient story of the lovers in the Underworld.

What do you do when the love of your life has eloped with another woman on the eve of your wedding? The other woman is a famous beauty named Anna Garibaldi, and their love story is splashed all over the tabloids, making you die inside. To add insult to injury, the one who has abandoned you dies unexpectedly, having left you a cryptic text message suggesting that you were always the one and only. Where do you go from here for solace, for justice?

If you are Carly Rosen, a portrait artist with huge imagination, you use your art to charm your way into the life and inner circle of the alluring Anna Garibaldi, whose seductive and secretive underworld is nothing you could have expected. You say goodbye to life as you know it and take a breathless ride down to the depths of the Land of the Dead, to where passions and dangers await you and nothing is as it seems. Don't forget a coin for the ferryman. Bon Voyage!

This audiobook is a tragic 'Page Turner', with first class narration ! I try and steer clear of books that do not have a HEA, I made an exception with this. The writing is so good it forces you to stay with it even though it can only end one way ! Christine Williams certainly knows how to bring an audiobook to life and I would choose an audiobook of her's on the strength of her narration. I note that the author has written an alternate ending on kindle, I wish that it wasn't necessary for me to want something different but I do, I want that HEA and have been left sad at the one we had !

A Tragic 'Page Turner' !
