This was SO good! As others have said, the male narrator was just okay, but the story itself? Wow. It was engrossing, and the creep factor was akin to that of a King novel. Very unexpected climax. Just sooo good!!

I figured it out about halfway through. And then I figured it out again. And again. And again. I thought I had it figured out until the very last sentence! Engrossing story, well performed.

The story itself was interesting. I am a huge fan of this genre, and while
not scary, it was a good story. That said, it felt a little more religious than I expected at places; I half expected Jesus to make an appearance at the end. Now for the narrator. OMG. I need a human who knows how to pronounce “stared” (it’s not “starred,” Mr. AI), and who doesn’t say “ah, ah, ah”—the chastisement—as though he were in ecstasy. And who knows not to mention the decimal point in a gun type (a “point 38”). Would have been MUCH better with an actual human.

You expect death in a book like this, but damn! It is the definition of “dark and twisty,” and I was not expecting the ending. Very good! Narrator mispronounced some things that threw me off, but overall amazing!

The good father was quite irritating in his…everything. He reminded me more of a Puritan minister written by Hawthorne than an apparently Catholic priest in the 1940s, and his abject refusal to see the truth was frustrating. The narrator was perfect
for the role, although I’m not sure if I’d want to listen to him in any other capacity. The story was interesting. It wasn’t what I would consider her best, but it had her trademark twists. Good listen overall.

I have never finished a book and immediately turned around and listened to it again, but that’s what I did here. I thought I knew what was happening, but I was so very wrong. Awesome story, although the narrator sounded like she was reading it for the first time. Still, if you like mysteries AND ghost stories with a twist, this is it!!

British narrator with British terminology (torch, cinema, biscuits), but it’s set in GEORGIA?! As in the state in the US? And they hang out in the summertime outdoors to enjoy the beautiful weather? The story would have been really good, but I kept getting pulled out of the narrative because southerners eat cookies; biscuits go with gravy or jam. I’m not sure why she didn’t just set it in England! It would have been 5/5 stars.

Although the premise of Booger-face’s true identity was a bit far-fetched, this brought the trilogy to a satisfying conclusion. Ford’s character is more than a little over the top, and I wonder if he has ADHD based on his stream-of-consciousness birdwalks, but otherwise, I enjoyed the book and the series.

I have never heard of someone “shiver” so many times in one sitting, nor realized how many different curtains can “flutter” or how much electricity can “crackle” between two people. That said, I’m vested in the story, even though there were many times I wished I could just shake Becca! Surely no one second-guesses themselves as much as she does. She is frustrating, but the narrator does well with the material she has to work with.

Very reminiscent of Stephen King! I’m so glad I got the audio book; the performances were spot on. I was heartbroken a couple of times, but man; what a ride!
