About this listen
Cassie Harper anticipates a week of prenuptial celebrations when she agrees to spend the week before her best friend Emily’s wedding at the remote and foreboding Hideaway House. Nestled deep in the heart of a secluded forest, the estate is the perfect backdrop for a series of lavish parties. But as Cassie arrives, she feels nothing but a growing sense of dread. As the days tick by in the eerie isolation of the estate, it becomes clear that there’s more to this place than meets the eye.
Surrounded by sprawling woods, she finds herself entangled in the estate’s unsettling past. Hideaway House seems to pulse with a life of its own, drawing Cassie into its dark and mysterious depths.
Amidst the growing danger, Cassie finds herself drawn to Ben, a brooding and enigmatic figure. Then there's Mark, who is easygoing and charming, but does he know more than he seems? As the lines between reality and the supernatural begin to blur, Cassie must unravel the estate’s sinister history before she becomes the next victim of its ancient rites.
In Dread House, secrets are unearthed, friendships are tested, and the boundaries between the living and the otherworldly dissolve. Can Cassie uncover the truth before it's too late, or will the secrets of Hideaway House claim her sanity—and her heart? Trust is a luxury in this suspenseful and chilling tale, and the truth may be more terrifying than she ever imagined.

Story
Curated by the author, Thrilled to Death is the definitive entry point for both established fans and new listeners alike. These selected stories collect a bold, playful, and eclectic ensemble of Tillman's Borgesian fictions that span decades and traverse themes of sex, death, memory, and anxiety. With argumentative wit, Tillman's meditations and reflections on art, politics, and culture are animated by deliciously paradoxical characters who desire and fret in turn, and who are imbued with searing intelligence and dolorous ambivalence.

Little is known about its true origins. After the first wave of infection, former army captain Allen collected a group of old friends and formed a command unit.

I didn't mean to steal the Bloodstone from the De Morel's crypt. Scratch that, I did mean to steal it. Until I realized it was a curse-magnet that only comes off if I, along with a jolly trio, successfully defeat four curses. If any of us fail, I'm dead. I've never been a glass half-empty sort of person, but my glass looks in dire need of a refill right about now. The only highlight of this wicked treasure hunt: feisty, entitled Cadence de Morel.

When eighteen-year-old River Santos’s house burned down, she lost everything. Her clothes. Her guitar. Her songbook. Most importantly, she lost her father. But when someone anonymously donates two million dollars to her GoFundMe, it’s like she’s won the worst sort of lottery. She’s a millionaire, but at what cost? With every person who comes into the diner where she works, she wonders, "Was it you?" The only person she’s sure didn’t donate the money is her extremely hot—and extremely standoffish—coworker, Logan Evans. Ever since he started at the diner, he’s acted like he hates her.

Halley is on the run from an interplanetary political scandal that has put a huge target on her back. She heads for what seems like the perfect place to lay low: a gigantic space barge storing the cryogenically frozen bodies of Earth’s most fortunate citizens from more than a century ago… The cryo program, created by trillionaire tech genius Zale Winfeld, is long defunct, and the AI hologram "hosts," ghoulishly created in the likeness of Winfeld’s three adult children, are glitchy. The ship feels like a crypt, and the isolation gets to Halley almost immediately.

My only qualm is occasionally the words in the same sentence or those surrounding would get a bit repetitive with "he", "it('s)","I" etc. obviously it didn't bother me enough to take off any points, the book was also so good that even if I did take off points for repetitiveness they easily would have been made up.
Now for fellow audio book readers, this is one I personally HAD to have at 2x speed, in my opinion the narrator was a very slow talker and monotone. Sometimes the voices she did for different characters didn't match, and also the audio quality would differ in areas. If any of this would bother you I would suggest a physical or an e-copy for this one.
Over all one of the best thrillers I have read to date. And the ending had me so shook I just HAD to message the author, ending the message with "I'm obsessed."
HEA? You decide. Maybe things can be done different this time.
