After over four years, Olena comes rocketing back into Claire's life, changing everything for the worse. Picking up the shattered pieces, Claire is not sure who to believe. Is Olena who she says she is, or is she a killer to stay away from? Leaning on her new boyfriend, Steven, for support, Claire is faced with the choice on who to trust: a friend she barley knows or a history lesson she barely remembers. Together, the three will begin a journey that will take Claire from the safety of her home to the last place she thought she would ever be: The Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. With the wreckage of rector four looming behind her, Claire will have to see Olena's plan through until the end if she wants any chance of making it out alive.

I loved the story! The performance was beautiful, with accents just right! It was scary, suspenseful, sweet, and everything I like in a book. I will definitely be looking for more books by Dana Burkey.

Beauriful story, filled with suspense!

What made the experience of listening to Locket Full of Secrets the most enjoyable?

The suspense and build up set throughout the story was what made it most enjoyable, both with the writing itself and the narration. I'll admit, it took me a few chapters to get used to Madeline's voice at first but once I did... it was great. The audiobook made the characters really come alive for me.

Which character – as performed by Madeline Mrozek – was your favorite?

Olena was my favorite character. She’s strong, smart, brave, and keeps you guessing. Hearing Madeline Mrozek give her life with the character's native accent made the story a lot more real to me. I admired her character and how much she wanted to protect everyone no matter what the cost, even though that meant not telling her best friend what all was going on in her life.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

This young adult mystery novel is an intriguing read to say the least. There’s a point in the book, I won’t mention where, that I just couldn’t stop after I got there. I had to keep reading. The characters kept me interested, and as a person who enjoys trying to predict the ending, I just had to know that I was right about everything. This one kept me guessing, and I enjoy that Burkey stumped me on figuring out the ending.

An Exciting Listen

The events the main character goes through are just ridiculous. A friend she only knew for a short while over a year ago, reappears, kills someone, gives her a passport she just happened to have made surreptitiously she me tome ago and our heroine agrees without argument to follow the friend to Chernobyl to recover photos embarrassing to the government. Sure! Why not? Doesn’t everyone just leave the country of false papers to carry out amateur espionage? And in the end, she added no value to the trip! If the story was told from the friends point if view and the prom queen left home it might have been just barely believable enough, but as is, it stinks.

Easier to believe in zombies

This was a thoroughly captivating adventure with a great pace with a main character who had a great personality and lots of little quirks and details to relate to. The performer has some wonderful affects and voices that bring the characters to life.

Great adventure!

Any additional comments?

Okay, first of all, this book had a very satisfactory ending. The story resolved itself well and the narrator NAILED the Ukrainian accent at the end!! The story is a bit Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys-ish so it may not be for everyone. Still, it moves well, is a very pleasant listen and well worth a Sunday afternoon.

Great weekend listen!
