About this listen
Hurt feelings severed the relationship between Mari and her sister following the tragic deaths of their parents. A single mom, Mari has dedicated her life to her daughter and avoided her sister since the reading of her parents' will. In desperate need of rest and relaxation, Mari decides to use the beach house she inherited for the first time since her parents' deaths, which is located on the island Mari loved so much that she named her daughter after it.
Doing so causes a chain of events that begin soon after her arrival on the island. First, her daughter believes that the house is haunted - lights that randomly turn on, whispers of the wind, and rooms that no longer exist, exist. Next, Mari discovers she's not the only one in search of a much-needed vacation time. Her estranged sister, her quirky aunt, and the visitor only Mari's daughter can see all make appearances and change the course of all their plans.
To complicate matters, an old flame is rekindled, and Mari is left trying to make sense of it all. Can all be forgiven? Or are some sins completely unforgivable? Will all the shattered and missing pieces of their lives finally come together and bring peace to this family?

Story
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

Haunting at the island
Would you listen to Miller's Island again? Why?
To pick up on the items I may have missed the first time. The story was well written and interesting to catch everything.
Who was your favorite character and why?
I loved the aunt and how she tried to fix all the family's problems. She sounds like someone you would want to have around so she can help you.
What about Meghan Kelly’s performance did you like?
She did a great job reading the story. She gave everyone their own unique voice, which for me is great so I can follow with easy.
Who was the most memorable character of Miller's Island and why?
I liked Miller the best since you were able to see her open herself to the truth of her mom and the old boyfriend.

A Family Mystery Unfolds
Any additional comments?
A nicely unfolding and extremely well narrated ghostly fantasy romance. Meghan Kelly has a lovely array of voices and sets a nice pace. She was able to speed up or slow down as the story required whether it be at one moment the gentle, easy speech of the grandmothers, only to switch from that character in mid-sentence and negotiate a conversation with the lightening ferocity of 14-year old Miller; I was happy to listen to Meghan’s voice all day.
One real disappointment I had was with the redundant words and grammatical errors starting about 30 seconds in with “…on the island….on the island” in the same sentence and similar errors here and there throughout the book. I just wish that editors actually edited. If it’s frustrating for me then I imagine others find it to be as well and some may even give the story up which would be a shame. That being said, overall the errors were minor in comparison to how well the story developed.
Leona Bryant has given us a wonderful story of a disconnected family facing life’s challenges through love, sorrow, mental illness and a haunted house. Lost love was the main theme and the author delicately and intricately wove threads of family sufferings and history in amongst this beautiful heartfelt generational romance. Involving the children in the search for and creation of a genealogical history was a thrill to hear and visualize.
There’s not much to say about Mari. She’s intelligent, kind to a fault and so wrapped up in work that she’s missing the best parts of her daughter’s life. I enjoyed the approach the author had in creating a hopeful father/daughter relationship in any story by letting it play out as it did with Miller and Doc. I loved Aunt Frankie too, she was an intelligent, tough and vibrant woman who helped hold the family together. The mental illness aspect was, in my opinion, thought out. It’s not an easy subject to convey to others and Ms. Bryant gave a good picture through Therese’s story even though at times readers may just think of her as a whining, ungrateful witch. I know I did.
There may be spelling errors in character names due to reading the book and not seeing the written words, my apologies. This audiobook was given to me by Meghan Kelly and Audible in exchange for a fair and honest review. Thank you for an enjoyable story.

Great Story
I received a free audio version of this book for review.
It is a great story. One that you won't want to put down. It combines history, sibling rivalry and romance all in one.
Look forward to more from this author.
I didn't like the way that the narrator switched between characters as her voice became very squeaky at times.

Loved this contemporary fiction. Loved the easy going characters. Of course, except Teresa. But the author did a great job writing about her and her problems. All in all it was a very good story and the narration was great. I will be looking for more books by this author and more from the narrator.

Fantastic read from beginning to end!
Loved this book, made me think of my years living on the coast. There is so much going on and so many characters and there are no questions that leave you hanging at the end, although would a sequal would be interesting. . Narration is remarkable with so many characters. Very refreshing yet mysterious turns in every chapter. Couldn't wait to get back to the story each night.

Millers Island
I nearly LOVED this book!I think about an hour could have been cut if they got rid of all the repetition.I mean give me the story once,not 4 times.The story was good.Mari and her sister Teresa have never gotten along.When their parents died Mari got the beach house and Teresa got the house.Teresa was never happy.She shows up at the beach house unannounced with family in tow on Maris time there.Mari asks her to stay and what a rollercoaster ride we get.The dynamics are real,trust me.Mari has a daughter born after a Teenage summer at Millers Island.She could never locate to dad to tell him he had a daughter.As it turns out,Teresa has played a part in this,as well as many other nasty things.Meghan Kelly is a terrific narrator for this story!I was provided this book free of charge for an honest review.
