Tethered: A Novel Audiobook

" Absolutely loved it! Well written, great main character. At times a very intimate book... A must-read! "

" A small gem, written with a delicacy that belies its often horrific subject matter. Not a book that will be soon forgotten. "

" I was so confused at times...I will read it again after the great discussion w/ the group! "

" This book actually brought tears to my eyes. It did get off to a slow start but the ending was worth it. "

" This was OK; something to read when you just need a quick "beach book" or waiting at the Dr.'s office "

" I am not usually into murder-mystery type books, but Tethered was a good, enjoyable read. After the story is set up, the second half of the book becomes tough to put down. "

" It was an enjoyable "read" but the plotline started to lose my interest. The primary setting, a mortuary, was more of a backdrop than a plot driver. "

" looked like it was going to be a good read- turned out to be completely predictable. i knew who the killer was halfway through the book, so was totally bummed about it. the writer has great descriptive skills, but other than that it was pretty much a waste of time... "

" Very well written debut by local author. Learned much re: life of a mortician (always enjoy the learning new stuff part of books) -Not so much depth of character but good little mystery - slight spirituality intertwined. "

" First person present tense. Handled well. "

" It's got a great hook, if you enjoy reading about a mortician going about her job. Interesting characters, though I found the protagonist to be about as much fun as her job. "

" I always like a book with a good twist, and this one has one. "

" captivating, short though "

" Fairly well-written with an unusual heroine and a bit of mystery. I sometimes found it hard to distinguish reality, imagination and the supernatural. "

" This book kept me reading but there were a few plot issues. Obvious who was the villain. The end was bizarre and didn't fit. Weird. "

" I read this book because it was by a local author. I loved the geographical references and realistic characters. It was dark, twisted and mysterious....I did feel the ending was a bit far fetched but over all a great read! "

" Interesting look at the undertaking business but a downer in that most female characters have dreadful lives, and the afterlife description is pretty corny "

" Though I wish a certain subject matter wasn't in the book, I understand the need for it to acquire certain emotions in the book. I'm glad the author wasn't dubious with writing the ending as she did. "

" A beautifully written book which tears at your heartstrings. Well worth reading. "

" Plot convoluted, with threads that lead nowhere. "

" Would love to discuss this book with someone else! "

" Meh. I hada hard time connecting with the main character in this book. I liked how her past unfolded through the book, and the mystery in the book was compelling. Overall though, it was a so-so reading experience. "

" First person present tense. Handled well. "

" If I could, I think I'd give this book a 3.5 stars. It was an odd, very atmospheric book with a very interesting protagonist which was almost ruined for me by the last 5 pages. There was also a very unbelivable romance. But I was more willing to forgive that. "

" It was very intriguing for me to read this book since the author is my sister's roommate from UMass Amherst. I also became really good friends with Amy. She has an unbelievable imagination and she kept me flipping the pages till the end. "

" Kind of sad but a good summer read "
