Summary
It’s late on Friday night when Casey’s mobile starts to ring. She is expecting it to be her daughter Riley. But it isn’t Riley. It’s a woman from the Emergency Duty Team. So begins Casey and Mike’s latest fostering challenge – a fifteen-year-old girl called Keeley who’s run away from her long-term foster home 25 miles away.
The Jonathan Ross Show has just started when Casey gets the call. She thinks it will be Riley – telling her that her favourite actor is going to be on TV. But it’s something far more urgent: a fifteen-year-old girl who has run away from her foster family and accused her foster father of sexual abuse. The family deny in vehemently, but such an allegation can never be taken lightly, so a new home must be found for Keeley.
Keeley is polite, but she’s sharp, and she has all the hallmarks of a child who has been in the system a long time, and knows how to play it. Whether the allegation is true or not, Casey knows there will be no winners here. If it is true, then a young girl’s life has been torn asunder. If not, then the heartache for the family will only be surpassed by the bleak outlook for Keeley.
In the short term, it’s a case of providing a safe, supportive home for a vulnerable child. But with the dangerous world of the internet at her disposal, it seems this strong-minded youngster has her own ideas of where that safe place should be…

Groomed
The story Groomed by Casey Watson is a brilliant book to read but as audible it is terrible as narrated by Kate Lock. The accent and tone is awful and totally put me off. I gave up and couldn’t listen any more. Unfortunately a lot of Casey’s books are narrated by Kate Lock therefor I will not get anymore audible. Casey, get a new narrator please! I recommend you try a sample before buying. It is not just me saying this. Great pity.

Groomed
I've listened to most of Casey's books and I really enjoy them but I wish they were all in order. This is the first book that I can say I have found the narrator's voice a little annoying, as in some parts the volume went quite low. Casey has a no nonsense approach and she always has a good team behind her. Hopefully the mistakes what happened right at the beginning will not happen again.

Brilliant!
This is an amazing read! A great book about a very important subject! I highly recommend it! I wasn't a fan of the reader, but I did like the overall story! It did take me a while to read it though due to me not liking the way the reader read the book.

Good written account spoilt by narration
I find the Casey Watson books to be a good read. As on holiday I thought I would listen to one instead. I found it very hard to keep focussed on the story at times due to the narrators use of lots of exaggerated accents for the different characters.

Good story but long.
A good story over all but it felt like a marathon to listen to it. Story very drawn out and the narration slow.

Annoying
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
No, the narrator really got on my nerves....
Would you recommend Groomed to your friends? Why or why not?
No see above...
Who might you have cast as narrator instead of Kate Lock?
Anyone but Kate Lock.
Do you think Groomed needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
Only if Kate lock didn’t read it.

Love Casey’s books
I’m a big fan of Casey’s I usually read her books but decided to try it on audiobook this time, I’m only only chapter 5 and I’m really not sure if I can finish it! The narration is like it is being read for a children’s book, putting on voices and accents and emotion behind certain phrases, this is the first audio book Iv come across that does this, this is a serious book I don’t think it should be read like it’s for 6 year old children -sorry!
