Written by Kate Bold

Narrated by Billie Bryant

Ashley Hope is an average Southern woman, happily engaged, her whole life ahead of her,—until dark secrets from her past come bubbling up. She soon finds herself in a race against time to save herself—and her marriage—from her ex-husband turned serial killer, who will stop at nothing until he has her back.

Ashley has spent years trying to forget her past and the poverty-wracked childhood she escaped from. Her life is finally perfectly normal—and she’s worked hard to make it that way. Her new husband is wealthy and handsome. Their suburban house is a total dream. And with her master’s in criminal justice almost complete, Ashley is ready to move on with her life, confident that her secrets are buried for good.

But on a trip to her rural hometown, old tensions suddenly threaten to boil over. Her Polo-wearing husband sticks out dangerously among the hardened folk of Grundy County. And when the visit goes horribly awry, Ashley, handed shocking news, realizes the past has a stubborn way of coming back.

As Ashley’s carefully constructed life begins to splinter around her, she finds herself in a fight for her life, drawn deeper into a dangerous game of cat and mouse. This killer knows her better than anyone—and he’ll stop at nothing, murder included, to get her where he wants her.

Will her past finally claim her for good?

A dark crime thriller full of mystery and suspense, the ASHLEY HOPE mystery series is rife with twists and jaw-dropping secrets as it unfolds into a riveting psychological thriller.

Reviews for Let Me Go (An Ashley Hope Suspense Thriller—Book 1)

[connie taylor · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

fiance', ex husband.... over and over again... I get it they are that but use it once and then use their name.... I skipped to the end to find out the ending after I couldn't stand it any more... she used this instead of saying he.... it was beyond annoying

I couldn’t get into the book. Her problems seemed to be of her own making by not communicating with the people she loves about the trams she had faced.

Phew thank god that's over!! I listened to the end because the storyline wasn't too bad and was interested to hear the end. But it was a chore how many times do the words 'ex husband' and 'fiance'have to be said? for the love of God it was like torture!! Surly the publisher/editor or somebody could have told the author that there were other words to use... I couldn't possibly listen to another book by this author not if this one is anything to go by...its such a shame with proper editing and a decent publisher and a few writing classes this could have been a decent book... I dare you to listen.... See how long you last.

The narrator is creeping me out to the point of a stomach ache. She reads this like she is telling you secrets - just creepy. As for the storyline I could only get to the 6th chapter before knowing that the protagonist is the creator of her own problems. I couldn't listen to 7 hours of self-sabotage.

Pretty meh story.
The numerous grammar and name slips were kind of annoying.

[NNEAMAKA PAYNE · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I really enjoyed the story. Even though you know who the bad guy is it still keeps you on the edge just guessing what he will do next. I really love the end and can't wait to read more in the series. This is the first I've read by this author and will be reading more.

[Eedge Eeva · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I love it. Fast peace and finally wasn't book where everyone stupidly keeps secrets and working behind the police even they know it's stupid. This was especially refreshing.
