ORACLE Book Review

Oracle (book 1 in Oracle series) by Andrew Pyper, audiobook, 9h 20m

Synopsis from Audible: Oracle is a psychological thriller audiobook following Nate Russo, an FBI psychic who helps solve abductions and homicides by touching those close to the missing persons. His unique gift comes with a terrible price: He sees the horrific moments before the victims disappeared. This high-stakes mystery, written by best-selling author Andrew Pyper and performed by Joshua Jackson, combines crime investigations with supernatural elements and killer instincts.

BOOK REVIEW: I just have to say that this is one of the best audiobooks I've listened to in a really long time! I enjoyed having a narrator that I knew by face and could imagine as Nate. One of the things that I learned from this book and watching something else on Netflix (I think...I can't remember what I was watching) but do you know how one becomes an oracle? An oracle is not someone born with the ability to see things like a psychic. It is only when this person has been chosen (by a good or bad entity) to become a seer that they are then deemed an oracle. Kinda cool honestly.

My rating is for the audiobook. I give this book a 5 out of 5 stars. I know that y'all might be thinking that there is no way I'm enjoying all of these books lately. Trust me...I've gotten lucky lately. One of my biggest issues with audiobooks is that the narrator usually performs different voices for different characters and this can be super cringy of a man trying to do a woman's voice and vice versa. That was not the case in this book! It was like he was sitting there just reading to you and I loved it! Early on it even seems like they (the producers and editors) left some stumbles in. I'm definitely listening to the sequel. Also if you're on the fence after listening to this book, the last 43 minutes is a preview of the sequel. For me, that's too long of a preview. If I'm dedicating that much time, then I might as well just start listening!

5/5 Stars
