Michael Bergonzi • Audio Drama Reviews Sep 16, 2022

"...a thriller that hooks you so strongly that listening week to week becomes unbearable. For a show that, based on its description, seemed like another Liam Neeson action movie—Zaya surprised me with how well paced and attention grabbing it was throughout the first episode. There are so many ways this could go and that detective work on part of the listener is the bread and butter of the genre. Thus far, Zaya delivers on that aspect."

"The sound design is amazing. I know what's happening in the room with no descriptions or narration needed. The writing is well-paced and hooks you into the mystery from the start."
