FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Audiobookworm in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.
Toxic Blonde by David Stever was an interesting book to listen to. This is the second book in the series but you don’t have to listen to the first book if you don’t want to but if you want to listen to the whole series then I would recommend that you listen to them in order so nothing in this book ruins what happens in the first book. I do have to say that I did find the book predictable at certain points but because I like the characters so much I didn’t mind that I was able to figure out what was going to happen. This book doesn’t have the most original plot but it was still interesting and I didn’t want to stop listening until I was finished with this book. This is one of those books that all of the characters would have died multiple times as I was listening to this book. If you are looking for a book that is super realistic than this one won’t be for you but if you are just looking for a fun thriller to listen to I know you will enjoy this book just as much as I did.

About The Narrator
Bill Lord has been an entertainer since 1983 when he began a nearly 20-year career as a professional wiseguy on rock and pop radio. After radio, his love of storytelling drew him into the world of acting and audiobook narration. It was a transition that began his exploration of connecting with an author’s truth on a deeply emotional level, while bringing each of their character’s reality to life with an authentic voice.
When Bill narrates a story, he transforms the written word into a multidimensional aural experience that makes you lose all sense of time and what is going on around you. He transports the listener to faraway realms or perhaps across the galaxy, until the world around you is supplanted by the flickering movie screen of your own imagination.
In addition to reading books for major publishers, and indie authors and publishers, Bill is a former coach of Edge Studio’s Investigate Voiceover classes in Washington, D.C., and an occasional cast member with The Lake of the Woods Players. When he’s not on stage or in the booth narrating, you can find cruising the lake on his pontoon boat (in Orange County, VA) while enjoying a Manhattan with his beautiful wife, Joya.
Bill Lord is an Audible Approved Producer. Visit Nothing Rhymes with Orange Studio’s website for more information.
