Jar of Hearts

Written by Jennifer Hillier

Narrated by January LaVoy

This is the story of three best friends: one who was murdered, one who went to prison, and one who's been searching for the truth all these years . . .
When she was sixteen years old, Angela Wong--one of the most popular girls in school--disappeared without a trace. Nobody ever suspected that her best friend, Georgina Shaw, now an executive and rising star at her Seattle pharmaceutical company, was involved in any way. Certainly not Kaiser Brody, who was close with both girls back in high school.
But fourteen years later, Angela Wong's remains are discovered in the woods near Geo's childhood home. And Kaiser--now a detective with Seattle PD--finally learns the truth: Angela was a victim of Calvin James. The same Calvin James who murdered at least three other women.
To the authorities, Calvin is a serial killer. But to Geo, he's something else entirely. Back in high school, Calvin was Geo's first love. Turbulent and often volatile, their relationship bordered on obsession from the moment they met right up until the night Angela was killed.
For fourteen years, Geo knew what happened to Angela and told no one. For fourteen years, she carried the secret of Angela's death until Geo was arrested and sent to prison.
While everyone thinks they finally know the truth, there are dark secrets buried deep. And what happened that fateful night is more complex and more chilling than anyone really knows. Now the obsessive past catches up with the deadly present when new bodies begin to turn up, killed in the exact same manner as Angela Wong.
How far will someone go to bury her secrets and hide her grief? How long can you get away with a lie? How long can you live with it? Find out in Jennifer Hillier's Jar of Hearts.

Loved every bit of it! ???
So drawn to all the characters. Felt a lot of emotions towards them and loved the twists and turns. Another book of J. Hillier that didn’t fail to amaze me.

Plot twist after plot twist, the books keeps getting better. 5 stars. I read it in one day and enjoyed listening to the audiobook.

[Kanishka Ariyathilaka · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Absolutely loved it! Kept me guessing till the end and the plot had weight in it(not too cheesy). I have nothing bad to say about it. This was my first book of this author and I'm sure as hell to read more of her! 4 stars for the narrator! She did a very good job as well! ❤

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐+⭐
Jar of Hearts by Jennifer Hillier, an audiobook narrated by January LaVoy is an intense, suspenseful, and full-of-action psychological thriller. It's a deep story that starts a long time ago and follows through the years... It's an absolutely WOW book!
And I am not even talking about the end that left my jaw on the floor and all I could do was just gasp, and one more time and one more time!

I LOVED IT! And I mean it! I LOVED IT SO MUCH!

January LaVoy narration was just perfect and it felt like I was watching a TV program! Such a perfect narrator for this book!

This story follows Georgina through the years, picks up every mistake, and makes her pay for it... Georgina knows, there is no place for the fight... it's karma... so she accepts and takes it... But... is it karma or just a line of poorly made decisions? If she had not kept quiet serial killer would not been on the loose, and some lives could have been saved... It's time to pay...

This is an absolute must-read/listen psychological thriller!

[Sarah · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

Nowhere near as clever as it thought it was, with a lot of explicitly gruesome scenes that seem inserted more for shock than to actually serve the story. Definitely better thrillers out there.

[YaYa · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Great book as usual! I figured the ending out this time! I couldn’t stop listening to this audiobook. I think the narrator is really good!

[Kendra Brown · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Decent enough. Great narrator. Ending got predictable. Writing a bit cliche.

[Bethany Appleton · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Was an OK book very slow
I did enjoy the narrator though

[יהודית עמית · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I'm still trying to decide what I feel or think about this book. Naturally it's good, or I wouldn't have finished it. But the story is so twisted. There aren't blacks and white areas here. Nobody is good or bad. They are both, and it's confusing,but so is life
