Virtual voice is computer-generated narration for audiobooks.

After an affair wrecks their marriage, Dan and Miranda Kelly attempt to escape with their young daughter to the remote lake town of Pinewood, Kansas. It’s a new start, a chance to heal and begin a new chapter of their lives. More importantly, it’s an opportunity to forget Abby, the woman who nearly destroyed their family.

Unfortunately, Dan and Miranda soon discover that past mistakes cannot be avoided so easily. Shortly after beginning their new life in Pinewood, Dan begins to receive harassing messages from Abby, warning him that she will not be easily forgotten. What begins as harassment quickly turns to deadly obsession and violence.

As Abby’s acts of terror escalate, Dan and Miranda begin to learn the depths of her derangement and the lengths a person will go for the one they love, even if it includes murder. Filled to the brim with twists, THE FRESH START tells the story of a deadly lover’s triangle, where everyone has their secrets and no one is who they seem.

Terrible narrator - can’t pronounce Gatorade & multiple other issues- weird inflection points. Story is so-so, moves slow then really fast, poor character development,a lot of details were left hanging-only finished it because it was free but if asked I would describe as just ok.

The story was excellent!! Not a fan of AI narration. I will definitely make sure not to buy a book narrated with AI

Why AI?

Absolutely did not like AI reading. Mispronounced words, poor pausing for punctuation, and the female character did not sound human. Took away from the enjoyment of the book.

AI should not be used for audible books.

Mispronounced words and robotic. Great story though and would’ve been so much better if narrated by a human.

Virtual voice is terrible

Great read!!
