About this listen
Love never dies. It remains buried under the hate.
Pete and Jennifer Langley have seen their marriage disintegrate. With their two children, Emily and Kevin, an uneventful trip turns into a nightmare when an unexpected snowstorm leaves them stranded with little hope of being rescued. Faced with the fear of losing their children, and each other to the frigid climate, Jennifer and Pete come to realize that their love laid hidden under hate. As the children watch their parents deteriorate, Emily keeps the hopes up for her brother Kevin in the form of gold rings and the promise that Santa will find them. Can a miracle save them from a frozen tomb?

Presley Hale has no idea the guy she just told off in the school parking lot died in a drowning accident four months ago. Why would she? It's not like she knows she can see the dead. Stunned by Presley's sixth sense, Landon Blackwood rethinks his planned departure and begins tracking her to find answers to their mysterious connection. When their complicated relationship turns dangerous, they learn that tampering with the boundaries of death comes with consequences. Can Landon save Presley from the insidious spirits who marked her for death, or was their love doomed from the beginning?

Story
Hi, I’m Lyric. And I’m kind of a mess. ADHD, that’s me. I’m a high school drop-out, late everywhere I go, and one screw-up away from being homeless. I’m a loner, and I like it that way. After my mom died, I figured life couldn’t get much worse. I thought it might even get better. I should’ve listened to the rumors about evil spirits. About the angry, ancient magical creatures haunting our small Oregon Coast town. But did I? No. That was my first mistake. And it might be my last. ‘Cause now, I’m in a battle for my life.

Story
My childhood was stolen by a monster. I've forgotten what love feels like. What happiness feels like. What hope feels like. I am numb. Him: He's possibly as damaged as I am. Maybe even more. Scarred just as much on the inside as the outside. Just like me. He doesn't speak. He doesn't smile. He hides in the woods like an animal. I should be scared of him, but I'm not. He's the only one that has ever made me feel. And I want to make him feel, too. Everything....

The supernatural intrudes upon a wedding; a pier becomes the site of tragedy; a collapsed building is only the start of the nightmare for those trapped in the ruins; a scientist makes the discovery of a lifetime, only to find out that what he’s unearthed has dire consequences not only for himself, but for all of mankind.

S.J. Hermann is reminding us all to cherish each moment, to treat our loved ones with care, and to not let the little annoyances blow out of proportion. His writing reels you in right away and kept me listening on, even as my heart broke.
Narration by Stephanie Pilavin is phenomenal. She brought each member of this family to life, to the extent that I forgot I was only listening to one speaker. I enjoyed the flow of her voice, and the emotional journey I was brought along for.
Listen to this story, today!! But know that you may end up in tears.

I’d seen this audiobook advertised a couple of times on a Facebook group I follow. I decided to give it a listen-to. The idea behind the story wasn’t anything new, a family freezing to death in their car after an accident. While the idea was terrifying (imagining yourself in that situation), I guess I had hope for something more, unexpected. I don’t know. I think the author could have added so much more to this short story just to get the terror across. For example, I didn’t feel there were enough complaints from the kids about being hungry. There was more (per the audiobook version) of Jennifer feeling like crap with all the coughing and mentions of rib pain than the kids. The majority of the time they seemed to sleep. I get that it was all they could do but still. Boring. It’s like they’re in a car accident, crash, and just sit there doing nothing until they die.
The narrator did a pretty good job. I’d listen to her again. No complaints here.
Questions/Comments:
I don’t believe Pete would have lived as long as he did. 1. He had no coat on. 2. The window was down. 3. The wind and snow were constantly blowing on him. What did he make it, like 2 ½-3 days? I think he would have frozen to death sooner.
Why was “drinking” snow that much different or not wanted by the characters? It was better than nothing. Snow is water!
Why did they not try to move the backseat to get to the trunk?
Why hadn’t Pete moved to the passenger’s seat, not that it would have helped that much but still?
What family trip/outing doesn’t involve bringing snacks and drinks? Especially when there are kids!
Jennifer still loves Pete… even though she constantly treats him like garbage. Makes sense to me. At least Pete tries. Why did they ever have a falling out to where she can’t seem to stand him at all?
Instead of putting the blood clot that she coughs up on the floor, she swallows (barf) it. Why?
I received a free audiobook code in exchange for an honest review.
I hoped for more
