Review from The Rhapta Key →
So much covered in a relatively short book, fear, family loyalty, old and new friendships, respect, love, loss, kidnapping, betrayal, murder and yet not once did I feel the story was rushed. Beautiful descriptions of Africa in a stand alone satisfying adventure with a bit of the very unexpected thrown in!This was the first time..
Review from The Ministry for the Future →
Uninformed economics, stereotyped characters and sympathetic characterization of terrorists are just some of the issues with this book. The ONLY saving grace is the inclusion of technology that might actually be helpful in solving our climate issues! This is mostly a political treatise; where is the ‘hard science fiction’ we were promised? My husband and..
Review from Didn’t Expect You →
This was unexpected but so good. This is one of those stories that hit you in the feels from beginning to end. Nyx and Nate are so different yet so alike that it was hard to not see them together. What I loved most of their relationship was that it developed organically. Yes, you can..

I have read a number of Claudia’s books recently and I have enjoyed all of them. It was fun to come back to this series after having read the book after this one first. Nyx is pregnant after a one-night stand and the last person she expects to have a connection with is her sister’s..
I loved the narrators for this audiobook. If I had to choose narrators for Nate and Nix they would be it. It was spot on and brought this book to life! Nate makes me swoon. This was a easy listen to. Definitely made me forget reality as I got lost in Claudia’s words.
Perhaps there will be a book with more letters from both sides of the conversation or her letters will be printed in their entirety but this book (and its narrator) brought her wit and charm and strength into my life and I am forever changed.
Judged as a novel, this book has way too many pages and chapters given the size of the story and the amount of characterization it provides. this is definitely an idea and data-driven work. it’s not about plot or character. like I say in my headline this book is barely a novel.

☆☆☆☆☆ 5 STARS I can’t get enough of Claudia’s books. All of her characters have the ability to entice and pull you into their stories! This one did just that, Nyx and Nate’s story was wholly charming. The narration was on point. Didn’t Expect You by Claudia Burgoa is an EPIC audiobook that will join..
Each narrator carried this book along to a satisfying conclusion. I highly recommend it.
Not enjoyable at all, this is a one n done for me. …The writing isn’t bad, and the narration is pretty good The story is not engaging though, MC doesn’t inspire any desire to care. I just can’t get invested …can’t get into it. If you don’t care about what’s happening, then there’s no reason..
