Girl on the Edge

By: CD Reiss

Narrated by: Maxine Mitchell, Joe Arden

From the author of the Audie Award-winning and the New York Times best-selling Marriage Games comes a deeply intense new series.

Everything is going to be perfect. Greyson comes home from deployment to live the life she and her husband Caden dreamed of. He has a surgical residency, and she has a psychiatric practice in the basement of their Manhattan brownstone.

Caden loves his wife more than he can measure. But he starts hearing whispers. Someone else loves her. Someone else wants her. There's someone else, and though whoever's behind the whispers will move mountains to have her, Caden will move heaven and earth to keep her.

Greyson will never break her vows, even as their marriage snaps apart one piece at a time; even as the line between reverie and reality blurs; even as Caden demands control, and Greyson cedes it. She will never, ever turn her back on him. When their marriage crumbles, her resolve shakes and love becomes the one thing holding them together.

Brilliant, competent doctors do ridiculous things.

I struggled to push through this book. The absurd choices that qualified physicians make in this book in regards to mental and physical health, made me yell WHY for most of the listen. The premise of the story kept me engaged...miracle drug to help soldiers, mystery side effects, and STELLAR narration. Ultimately, it just wasn't enough to overcome the ridiculous choices the main characters kept making.

Strange

I appreciate the abilities of CD Reiss, but this book was odd for me. I purchased thinking it was a romance novel and it isn't. It's more like a psychological military mystery with some sex scenes. The story seemed drawn out a bit much and I struggled to finish this one. The narration actually kept me listening...Great Job !

Great story

A narrator can make or break a Audible book but this one was excellent Even when characters go A-Wall

Epic Love Story

How is there not more reviews for this. I've seen too many inferior books with thousands of reviews. This is books 1-4 in one collection. It's well worth the credit. The narrators do an excellent job voicing two characters who will go to great lengths for the love they share.

The Edge Series (book 1 - 4) Amazing!

What an amazing book... so intense.. all the way

The most disappointing part is that I have finished listening to it. What a ride!!! Always intense, gripping and hot as hell. Sure there's lots of sex, actually, I don't think they do anything else together. Not even take a break for a peanut butter sandwich or something. Nope! Just kidding. The love between the two is so deep, involving and endless. The decisions they have to make over and over are so many and extreme. They somehow pull through. Get ready for pain, pleasure and love ... all intertwined into something beautiful.

I love the way CD Reiss writes with so much description and intensity... she is simply an amazing author! Loved the way everything is expressed. Definitely worth the listen. And, with Maxine and Joe, it's like watching a beautiful movie in your head. Their voices take the book to the next level. Perfection!

Do yourself a favor, don't miss out on this series. You'll love it. Enjoy!

Perfection

This is the narrative work that made me fall in love with Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell. Not to mention what hooked me on CD Reiss’s writing. It’s a regular one for me to go back and listen to. And every time I do, I find so much more than the last time.

Narration made the story

This book had some very interesting twists and turns but might have been just a little too long. It was slow at the end. Joe Arden gave the most amazing performance during a very suspenseful part. Definitely made the book for me.

F a b u l o u s !!!

I haven't heard a story so wild and twisted in a while! This one grabs you hard and wrings you out. The narrators add an additional layer of awesome sauce all over the top! Kudos to all!

Struggled to finish....

This isn't CD Reiss' best work. It had the author's characteristic complex story lines and top shelf writing. There was a huge speed bump however in the irrational behaviour of Greysen, the army major psychiatrist.

As the story progressed there were fewer detailed descriptions of Caden and Greysen's sexual encounters (sadomasochistic sex) and post-coital debates about paraphilias. That was good as the sex had become monotonous and it was increasingly difficult to hold onto the image of Greysen as an intelligent, strong woman. Her trust that her damaged, volatile husband in the throes of mental illness wouldn't seriously harm her was unjustified and denied everything her professional training would have told her.

If you don't have a need to reconcile the highly accomplished, capable psychiatrist's behaviour with her misplaced and out-of-character approach to her husband's illness then this would be a very entertaining story. For me that illogical behaviour was an irritant that never resolved itself. I finished the story but won't be listening to it a second time.

The narrators were excellent, as these two almost always are.

Wow

I don't know what I was expecting but it wasn't that! This novel is marvelous, the twists and turns kept me engaged until the very end! The ending is spectacular, sad tears went to happy tears within minutes! The narrators Joe and Maxine did an amazing job bringing the story to life! They are my favorite narrators!
