Thank you to NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for the opportunity to listen to this audiobook.

This wasn't for me. It was a little confusing the characters got all muddled around. Perhaps if it was in book form it would be easier to look back and keep track????? Too much going on....
I feel generous and will give a 3. This is a voted up from 2.5- I am willing to give this author another try.

ARC audiobook provided in exchange for an honest review.

The narration on this book really helped bring this story to life! All the characters were portrayed so well and it was easy to follow along with and listen to quickly. The story felt fairly straightforward at first but did throw a few curveballs that I never saw coming! There’s lots of deception and misdirection which I love, because who wants to know exactly where the story is headed?!? I would recommend to anyone who likes psychological thrillers and mysteries!

Really good audio listen with lots of twists and turns and one at the end I was definitely not expecting

On a Quiet Street was a definite page turner for me. I was offered an audio ARC version from Net Galley and I finished in one day. Super suspenseful, lots of plot twists and the of course there is the final gift of revenge. I liked the way this story was told from different characters points of view. I love it when you get to see what characters actually think of each other and how through plot twists these opinions can change.

Leah and Caine have a troubled marriage. Leah is sure Caine is cheating on her... again. But her whole attention is grabbed in another direction when a young woman, Charlotte shows up on her front door step one night claiming to be her daughter. Lots of secrets, lots of crazy stuff and lots of fun for the reader. Recommended. Thank you to Net Galley for the chance to read and review an advanced copy of this audio book.

I haven't read anything by this author so I wasn't sure what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised by this story. I thought this was great and it gets 4.5 stars from me!

Would recommend if you love:
-multi-POV
-twists and secrets throughout
-badass FMCs
-some thrilling moments and edge-of-your-seat tension

Told in several parts, the first two main parts are one: from the POV of wife Leah and two: from the POV of "the girl"
I wanted to punch Cain so much during Part One when Leah is the narrator. What an annoying, frustrating man. Leah knows he is cheating on her, and to make her life more complicated, teenage Charlotte comes knocking claiming to believe her biological parent(s) live at her address. This section was wild, Leah is badass and would go to lengths to figure out what is happening in her life.

When we switch to Part Two the POV changes to "the girl" which is Charlotte or one of her friends that are always together (and the ones that showed up at Leah's house).

Later parts switch POV between the two and this is when shit gets CRAZY. You'll have to suspend your disbelief a bit because some of these characters do some questionable stuff. BUT overall I really enjoyed this story and it kept me on the edge of my seat throughout.

The narrator was great and put enough emotion into this to really pull me in!

This was super entertaining!

I was able to finish this in one day while working.

This was in two perspectives, Angel and Leah. I do not want to post spoilers, but it was interesting hearing from these perspectives. This was one of those books that in my opinion took off right away. I was engrossed instantly. There were definitely twists!

I liked Leah as a character as well as Angel. I will say they were surrounded by characters that sucked. In a good way! They were unlikeable but it worked for the story line.
The narrator was great as well. I will mention I had my audiobook speed at 2x and it was the perfect speed to understand.

All in all, I do recommend this book or audiobook.

What a wild ride this book was. I had absolutely no idea what was going to happen and in some parts it dragged but glad I was able to listen to it. I also read half of the books and listened to the other half.

Leah loses her mother Jean. Leah’s husband Cain is keeping secrets from her and she’s trying to find out what he’s lying about. Jean is full of secrets herself before she passed away, now Leah is forced to face her path, even if she doesn’t want to.

I received this book for free from Netgalley and publisher in return for my honest opinion.


Solid 3.75 Stars.

Thank you so much NetGalley and Dreamscape Select for the advanced copy and the chance to review it honestly.

On a Quiet Street was an addictive thriller that keeps you entertained. I received this as an ALC and I could not stop listening to it. There was so many twists and turns thought that at one point I’m pretty sure I got whiplash. I still found this book to be enjoyable and I liked the narrator. The narrator delivered the story and twists in a way that keeps you engaged and wanting more. On a Quiet Street is out now!

Happy reading!

I was enjoying this until around 80% when this book, like so many others in the genre, went into the abyss of having maniacal characters who make long winded confessionals while they tie everybody up and “explain” some more (while talking like a cartoon villain muahahaha)

PLEASE STOP. Authors you should be better than this. Editors surely you’re as tired of this as readers are???

This was ok, not great. I think it lacked an overall plot development. The first couple chapters was really good and I was hooked on what was happening but then it seemed to veer and get progressively more confusing. The story went into too many directions. I didn’t think the ending connected to the beginning.

I read this very quickly. It had good twists and turns and characters to like and to hate. The ending was great.

It took me a bit to get into this story. The beginning was a bit choppy but the 2nd part where the story is told from Angel’s perspective grabbed my attention and I couldn’t put it down until I found out how this was going to come together..
I was a bit disappointed that there was no legal consequences for those that did wrong. However the twist at the end was a shock.
Overall the story and the narrator did a very good job.

Thank you NetGalley and Dreamscape for a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

The Book: The story was great. So many twists and turns. There were a lot of characters to keep up with, which made it a little confusing at the end when everything was coming together. However, I was unable to fully guess how it would end so that's a plus! And the shocker at the very end! If you like a psychological thriller I'd give this a try.

The Narrator: I'm not sure on my feelings in regards to the narration. I had a hard time listening to her at the beginning. She did a great job however her voice seemed too innocent for a psychological thriller.

3.5/5 Stars! Thank you, NetGalley, Dreamscape Select, and Bookouture for the audiobook of On a Quiet Street by Carla Kovach narrated by Annette Chown for a free review.

The narrator did a great job narrating this story, however, there were times that I got confused because the names sorta sounded the same and there were LOTS of things going on. I had to rewind some of the audio parts several times to make sure I understood what was going on and who it was. This is my first book by Carla Kovach and I'm wondering if her books (to me) would be best read rather than listened to. I'm glad that this book was broken into parts because it was the different breakdown of the character's POV.

The ending was jaw-dropping and left me shocked. I think this experience would be much better reading rather than listening to all the twists - I'll def be checking out Carla's other novels because the twists and ending are my cup of tea. Overall, 3.5 out of 5 stars and the narrator did a wonderful job!

This book was so good!! The description said if you liked The Housemaid, you’ll love this book and I couldn’t agree more! It’s written in the same dual POV and it’s perfect. I loved the two FMC. I had no idea where this book was going until the very end! It was very fast paced and not a dual moment. The core of the story was also unique! I’ve never read a thriller like this one.

The narrator was fantastic with all of her voices. It was super easy to follow all of the characters.

I absolutely recommend this thriller!

Thank you to NetGalley and Dreamscape Select for an audio-arc! It was great!

Many thanks to NetGalley and Dreamscape Select, Bookouture, for the free audiobook in exchange for my honest review. This is narrated by Annette Chown who does a good job!

Leah and Cain are married, and Cain has a history of cheating. Leah is convinced he is still cheating with the same women she has caught him with 2x previously (really?). Charlotte, an 18 year old stranger, shows up at their door and claims her biological parents live there. Leah decides to meet the girl, who seems to know more than she lets on.

Everyone has secrets in this story, and there is a lot going on between the characters and their relationships. However, I am not sure that it has the desired effect as intended. First, I did not like any of the characters, all of whom could have been better developed and with less negativity. Why does Leah stay with Cain, a cheater, after catching him multiple times? Leah came across as whiney, Cain was a tosser and Charlotte was the only one I sort of liked. The story was an interesting and complex premise but the execution was a bit clunky.

Really just an ok read that left me frustrated.

Leah suspects her husband, Cain, as having an affair. Is she being paranoid as he accuses or is he a pro at gaslighting?
While wrestling with her increasing suspicion a trio of teenage girls knock at her door late one night, with one claim g to be her child. But she doesn’t have a child, does she?
This book carries suspense throughout the story and the thrills amp up in the latter part of the book. The last few sentences left me with my jaw dropped. A twist I was not expecting.
While I have trouble the lack of consequences for some events, overall it was a thrilling ride.
The narration was well don’t with great pacing, emotion and character voice differentiation.
Thank you to bookouture and NetGalley for the audiobook arc.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

This book was crazy. It took me a while to figure out what exactly was going on, but that is really reflective of Leah and Angel are experiencing in the book. This was a crazy read with so many twists and turns that I did not anticipate.

This audiobook was a good one. At first I was a bit confused because there was so much going on, but at the end things started to come together. I wish the author would’ve fleshed out some of the details more and minimized some of the twists.

Publication date: January 15th, 2024
Page count: 359
Audio length: 9 hours 24 minutes
Narrator: Annette Chown
Genre: psychological thriller
Setting: English town
Features: domestic thriller, marriage, mother- daughter- 3 generations, family secrets, each half with different POVs

Leah and Cain are married. At the time we meet them, while Cain’s affair is a few years prior, his current behavior is suspicious and Leah wonders what his current secrets are. When a young woman Charlotte appears at her house, Leah thinks that it is related to Cain’s secrets- past or present. Charlotte however claims to be a secret from Leah’s past. While the first half is based upon Leah’s POV, and then turns to Charlotte’s POV.


I had a difficult time connecting with any of the characters, and they all seemed a bit disjointed- which made it difficult to stay engaged in the beginning. Once the narrator turns to Charlotte however, the story becomes much more engaging with its twists and turns.
