About the Book
Book: No Turning Back
Author: Katie Vorreiter
Narrator: Christa DelSorbo
Genre: Suspense
Release date: February 26, 2021
Chronic panic attacks have stolen Livvy Fischer’s classically trained soprano voice and derailed her life. Due partly to a mix-up, partly to her crush on Pastor Lucas, Livvy joins a worship team bound for the chapel at San Quentin. But when a full-scale riot breaks out, she is separated from Lucas and the rest of her group. Survival becomes this songbird’s sole focus.
Snatched from the chapel by an inmate, Livvy doesn’t know who to trust. Tobin says he’s protecting her, but she’s been blindsided before. She struggles to put her trust in God, while all too aware that free will can wreak horrible consequences. Tobin wants her to hide and ride out the prison storm, but Livvy becomes the obsession of another inmate who is a serial killer. Will God protect her? Will Tobin?
It’s one thing if Tobin is turning his life around behind bars. It’s quite another to fall for him.

My Review:
I had read this book, so I'll repost that review here as well as sharing that I really enjoyed this narrators work on this story. Her voice and timing, emphasis and pacing made "re-reading" this book very enjoyable.
Livvy is a trained soprano. I connected to her right there. We share that trait. She has a stalker. I also know how that feels. Now her past is going to feel like it was easy compared to what she is dealing with now! Poor dear, all she did was go with the pastor she's attracted to to help with some prison ministry. It's singing, in a prison. That seems harmless and a helpful ministry thing. It's something many of us have done, but her whole world is about to be irrevocably altered again. Forget the panic attacks. This is way beyond that. If Tobin, a inmate, isn't one of the good guys, one of God's kids... well you have to read this. How much forgiveness, grace and healing can happen in a mega crisis? Livvy, Tobin and Lucas are all about to learn new truths. I liked all of them. It's a really great debut book that I'm glad I didn't miss. It's gripping romantic suspense with drama and faith.
