Prisoned by Marni Mann

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When I opened my eyes, I was in a cell, my body covered in bruises.

Not a jail.
I’d been kidnapped and imprisoned.

I wasn’t alone.
I shared the cell with Garin Woods, the man I’d loved since I was a kid.

The man I couldn’t be with because of the secret. 
A man who would kill me if he found out what that secret was.

Someone wanted to torture me.
Torture us.

One of us deserved it.
It wasn’t Garin.

The heroine: Kyle – she grew up in the projects in Atlantic City, New Jersey. She hung out with her two best friends, Garin and Billy. They had parents who spent all their money on drugs and partying, so the kids were used to hustling for money for food and anything they needed. Garin was a drug dealer, Billy was a thief, and they did all they could to take care of Kyle, who was always too cold and too skinny. Kyle and Garin were always in love, but something happened back then, on the night they first kissed. Billy’s brother died and Kyle left Atlantic City not long after that.

The Hero: Garin – back when they were young, he had plans of moving to Las Vegas to work after high school. He planned on taking Kyle with him and seeing if she could attend college in Vegas. On that last night, he was in the shower when he heard the shot, he ran outside and saw Billy’s brother Paulie dying in the street and Kyle nowhere to be found. Now, years later, Billy died from an overdose, and they are both home for the funeral. Garin is determined to find out what happened.

The Story: Garin and Kyle go out for drinks after the funeral and the two of them wake up in a prison cell. Kyle felt guilty because she knew she should be there, but that Gavin was innocent. They have both been trapped by events in the past. Kyle wanted Gavin to know her secret, but she knew a secret like that could get her killed, so she wasn’t about to give it up. This story was a complete surprise, which I liked, it isn’t often that a book is so unpredictable and surprising

This audiobook was told in dual points of view via solo narration and was narrated by Aaron Shedlock. I really enjoy his voice, and as far as solo narration goes, he does a great job. The voice he uses for female characters isn’t bad at all. Plus, I love his deep, soft voice for male characters as well.
