Haunting and atmospheric, The End of Temperance Dare is another thrilling audiobook from the author reviewers are calling the Queen of the Northern Gothic.

When Eleanor Harper becomes the director of a renowned artists' retreat, she knows nothing of Cliffside Manor's dark past as a tuberculosis sanatorium, a "waiting room for death". After years of covering murder and violence as a crime reporter, Eleanor hopes that being around artists and writers in this new job will be a peaceful retreat for her as much as for them.

But from her first fog-filled moments on the manor's grounds, Eleanor is seized by a sense of impending doom and realizes there's more to the institution than its reputation of being a haven for creativity. After the arrival of the new fellows - including the intriguing, handsome photographer Richard Banks - she begins to suspect that her predecessor chose the group with a dangerous purpose in mind. As the chilling mysteries of Cliffside Manor unravel and the eerie sins of the past are exposed, Eleanor must fight to save the fellows - and herself - from sinister forces.

This was one of those books that hooks you from the very beginning! The twists are great! And I loved the ending. Although some may not. Fantastic ghost story!

One of Ms Webb's best!

I felt that the premise of the book was super interesting, but the romance(s) and overall juvenile writing style of the author took away from the story for me. I wanted to like the book but how many times can you use the phrase “ice ran through my veins” before it’s overdone? Just a meh book.

Cheesy Romance...

A true modern ghost story. Listening to this book kept me up for hours just so I could learn how it ended. In addition, the narrator did an excellent job.

This Would Make an Outstanding Movie

The story was rather predictable. But overall good. It took me almost half the story to get into it. The narrator is really the reason I think. Her cadence is the same with every sentence and every character which made it difficult to follow at times.

Story okay, narrator difficult to listen to

I have enjoyed all of Wendy Webb’s books and this is no exception. It was hard to put down and although it may be a bit of a stretch at the end, it was satisfying none the less!

Another good one!
