🏆If you REALLY want more free audiobooks, might we suggest visiting your favorite author's website, click on their CONTACT page, and leave them a note that goes something like this (feel free to cut and paste): _Dear Author, I'm a big fan of your work. Might you consider including your audiobooks on BookTV? Best, Your Name Here_ That's it. It's that easy. Feel free to add some of your own flavor, like mentioning which of their novels is your favorite and why. Have fun with it! Who knows, maybe you'll make a new friend 😁

Two hours in and we know more about the characters history than what the main story is.

[@MyKoolTV2042]

Excellent so far!!! Loving it…

[@sindollface]

To all listening to these FREE AUDIO BOOKS & have complaints. Nobody is charging u money or stopping u from changing the video! However these audio books r free. U can choose to pay for an audio with a more human sounding AI reading to u if not please be considerate & keep the negativity to yourself. Unless u have an honest question about an issue ur having playing it. Much appreciated ❤️

[@booktvofficial]

We think we love you 😘

[@michaelgarrow3239]

Yep! They can read it themselves and post it themselves. I like AI…

[@PrimalHealthGuy]

@@sindollface Bro what are talking about? Who pays for an AI narrator? People pay for actual human narrators…

[@jennifermcdonald5432]

I’m at a loss to express my gratitude deeply enough for your having a real person narrating this story. Not only a real person, but a talented one. For me personally, the AI ones are not listenable. They totally spoil the story. Part 2 we’ll call me a fool, made the first comment too soon, didn’t I. I guess I can say your AI’s improving, but there are still so very many mistakes and they jar terribly. Pulls you right out of the story.

[@booktvofficial]

You're welcome. And this was 🤖 narrated 😊

[@jonathanroden1420]

As far as AI goes this wasn’t too bad. I enjoyed the story, so I appreciated it.

[@ellenmendoza7246]

I would still rather be read to by humans..if this AI it's the best I've heard...is this good thing no..

[@eastsideterri25]

Good finally found book one after listening to an hour of book 2 and not knowing it

[@movieloverfan18]

This is a good story. I will go to the author channel.

In "Grip of Deceit," destinies intertwine in a gripping tale of survival, courage, and the unyielding human spirit. Are you ready?

[@barbthequietwatcher7069]

Power has been knocked out by a EMP cars not working, street lights and traffic lights are out yet the light's on people's phones are working? I'm at a loss!

[@Sinzday1]

Basically..... ya feel me.... lol. The way people are these days, I sometimes think that in this situation I probably would be the only person in the group that realizes that an emp was the cause of the problem. Pretty good book though!

[@harrygrimley4352]

Thanks for sharing this with us. Its a good start. Cant wait to hear more. AI ? If it is its one of the best ive heard so far. I've heard a gew things here and the that makes me think it is. Such as. 9 mm. Would be read as 9 millimeter. Not 9mm. But it is good thanks again

[@alettavannieuwenhuizen]

Grips of Fury Book 3. Are you going to list the entire series?

[@booktvofficial]

If we can license them, yes. Mention something to the author 😇

[@doorway1111]

There are 3 more books in the series! Its frustrating and they are not available in audiobook form 😢

[@NamasW24]

Oh yay this sounds good Just one quick question is the first in the series by Sam J Fries….?

[@booktvofficial]

yes

[@connieharrison5911]

Sorry the tap tap taps and the moaning and groaning makes this a hard listen

[@Tryingyourbestatwhateveryoudo]

Lol yep that's what is getting on my nerves and that's crazy but as far the book goes is sounding like it's going to be a great book I wish I knew had to listen to the hole book

[@terrylewis1318]

It's free tap,tap,tap. Lol

[@puppetville-bethobrien4139]

Good story, but can anyone help me with the character of the former police officer and the " 4 taps?" What's that? Wracked my brain, coming up empty. Thanks😅

[@k.loftin7746]

He has a nervous habit of tapping his finger When he stressed or agitated.

[@Xtinction2000]

Any idea of uploading the others?

[@booktvofficial]

They’re coming soon!

[@dianasu4463]

What is the purpose of the taps?

[@patricia8063]

It’s a coping mechanism to help keep Patrick calm due to his mental issues. I can’t remember what they were. OCD and PTSD I think.

[@puppetville-bethobrien4139]

Did you ever learn? Ummm so trying to figure this out too!

[@salvattorecorleone3883]

Everyone should chill about the AI in these audio books. True: some a better than others but live narration is very expensive. If you want only live narrations; then send the writers cash to pay those high bills.

AI drives me crazy! Voices are wrong & pronunciations are a teacher’s nightmare 😢 The story is interesting so I’ll struggle thru book #2 👵🏻👩‍🌾❣️

[@justlivingdaybyday2288]

Don’t like the ai starting the new sentence right after the previous sentence is kind of jarring I wish authors would stick to voice actors I understand that it’s getting expensive but letting AI take someone’s job is kind of unsettling

[@deecooper1567]

My exact thoughts. 👵🏻👩‍🌾❣️

[@natashamillerrouse7327]

Great story. Thanks but could use a bit less 'tap,tap,tap.' Great character development.

[@michellekleingers8238]

Maybe forensics wasn't a thing in "this book's world". Kind of thin on details about the lack of police, lawyer, testing. Just a "Nope, it CAN'T POSSIBLY BE him who raped her!".Also, couldn't they have done a DNA test on the kid to prove who the father/rapist was? On the other hand, there's TONS of info on the 1 1/2 hours it took Pat to drive after he dropped his kids off. Same thing with the patient....a LOT of info about nothing in particular and nothing of substance.

[@pattyrubley9793]

She was raped 3 decades ago. That's 30 years ago. DNA testing was just getting started. They were just starting rape kits. If a woman got raped, it was her fault. Especially if it was a political or important figure. Going to court over a rape was most times more traumatic than the rape. A woman was better off hiding it and trying to live with it. Today a woman is listened too and there is support. Women's justice has come a long way from 30 years ago.

[@ellenmendoza7246]

Is there a part 2

[@booktvofficial]

Yep. Here you go: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYSZlXSZi7urd7c

[@SubsonicGamer]

Where is the rest of the story

[@N_t_begin]

Darn it all, could you please give us a break with the repetitive " TAP TAP TAP TAP" ALREADY??? A few times maybe, but not every 7-10 minutes. I'm going to try to struggle through the rest of this, if I can bear it, but if it continues in book II, NO WAY. Not even if it was Dean Koontz or Stephen King could I tolerate it.

[@vickielusby1006]

I can't agree more!

"turned the car over" no shit?

[@TowGunner]

Jesus! Is this an apocalyptic EMP story or a freaking psychiatric Fuc* fest? I understand character buildup but the incessant TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP will drive the reader/listener nuts. You start to see why Patrick’s ex wants to keep him away from their kids. And poor Holly! Hasn’t she been through enough? Book 2 must be a doozy.

[@booktvofficial]

@@xephael3485 yes

[@maybenot7202]

Ok a good start, but needs polish a few mispronounced words like Willamette and if the cars can stop the truck could EMP can't do anything to air brakes. As for that a EMP that kills cars kills phones too, no looking at bars on phone, no flaslh lights working on phones! Phone in desk, if its steel might survive but and anything with a ic chip is dead if its not shielded. Old emergency lights in hospital will still work for a bit if batteries have been changed regularly. But if newer leds nope.

It doesnt sound like ai to me at all.... i find the boring whining about the ex to be super common and far more disappointing.

[@user-soon300]

@@__waitwhat__ yes to you doesn't sound AI because you didn't listening to a lot of podcast i guess

[@stonemagic540]

why does the reader make pat sound like a female ?

[@romanbrough]

Two main characters. One insane. The other almost so. And divorced three times. And the TAP Tap Tap. Way too miserable. Not for me.

[@deeperstillll2151]

If you really want more listeners & subscribers, stop using automated voices which cannot rightly pronounce words like “Salem”. Anyone from the west-coast knows that Salem isn’t pronounced Saleem.

[@stonemagic540]

WHERE is The PART 2 ???

[@booktvofficial]

Coming soon...

[@johnscott4196]

Writing that allows for conversation "as the truck is bearing down" with the woman and another stranger bugs me. Seconds to act, a couple minutes of talking. And the "tap tap tap"? Serves what purpose?

Is there anyone in this that doesn't have mental illness???

i was thinking the same thing

[@stonemagic540]

yeah really

[@edward11762]

Just started listening. Is it the book or the kind of people listening thats weird. I don't want to listening if the book sucks.

[@doodybird5766]

For real lol

[@Freefolkcreate]

Notice how many people are mental now, people just treat it like it's normal.

[@seanjames9431]

I really like the story, but I can't get over the tap tap tap thing. The other inconsistency's in the story. I can look past such as a retired military man carrying a dull knife. Or the way the reader of the story is mispronouncing places in Oregon. Or words like music "mu SAC". I'm going to keep giving it a chance, though maybe it will grow on me. This is a free book, so I should not complain... Except for the tap tap tap. That's awful, lol. Thanks for the entertainment.

[@patcarrelle3852]

Why does the narrator keep using a woman's voice for the main character?
