Story
Welcome to the Lilydale Foundation Center... home of second chances. At least, that's what they tell us it is. It's basically a glorified prison and asylum for the deranged with good alibis. When the police pulled me out of my burning home, along with what was left of my Father, I was deemed broken — even if I was the reason the fire started. So, here I am at my new home. They think they can save us with their fancy facility. But what insane person decided it was a good idea to put a bunch of young, unhinged people together?

Story
I think I always knew I was going to die young. Like I had this… silent, invisible clock ticking down to my final moments plastered above my head. Maybe that’s why I was so reckless, crazy. Why I sought after adventure. Why nothing scared me… Except, there was always this… feeling I couldn’t shake that something was in the darkest parts of every corner, under every bed, closet, or room, like a ghost watching me. Waiting to take me. My own, personal reaper. But it was always only during a lightning storm that I could see the outline of my reaper. No scythe.

There is no way back. There is no way. No way back. Not from what we’ve become; Bloodthirsty, vengeful, vile. Some women strive to make their men better, I VOW TO MAKE HIM WORSE. With each life we take, we fall deeper into our own sinister desires. We were never looking for a way out, but in this prison? There is no way back from what we’ve become.

They say eyes are the windows to the soul—but when he looks at me through hues of slate-green and flaring blue embers, I’m terrified of what’s watching me from behind his clashing gaze, something primal and feverish that threatens to melt me like fire in ice. I fear falling into Kallum Locke’s pitch-black soul. But after I’m called to a crime scene to investigate the most gruesome act of violence to descend on the legendary town of Hollow’s Row, I have no choice but to turn to Kallum, to the man I had locked away in an asylum for the criminally insane.

Story
According to the FBI, I was considered a serial murderer after three kills. What do they call me after fifty-two? They call me the Silencer. One final bullet would have been all it took to stop me from taking another soul, and I would have been doing Meridian City a service by pulling that trigger. An angel crying for help stopped me, and that night, I took three lives for her. Then three turned into eight. Then eight turned into twenty. Twenty turned into twenty-one. Twenty-one turned into twenty-three.

It's been months since the day we stood above that empty grave that stunk of burnt flesh and secrets. All of us were dressed to the nines, one of us wearing a wedding dress, a day that was supposed to mark the beginning of a new adventure. It marked the bitter end of our vengeance. We have done things that have marked our souls for eternity. But before we get there, we have to go back. Back to where it all started. The place I could find in my sleep.

Like Alice in those old books. Except in those books, there wasn't blood everywhere. In those books, the characters weren't all male, attractive, and interested in me.

Looking for a new fantasy romance series that combines the "snarky mortal woman navigates a world hostile to her species" vibes of The Serpent and the Wings of Night with the "questioning my chastity vow in the face of this hot new mysterious male in my life" energy of From Blood and Ash plus the "we're conducting an investigation together but are struggling to keep our hands off each other" tension of Crescent City: House of Earth and Blood? The Memory Puller just might be your next obsession.

It was an offer too good to refuse: spend one month in the most haunted house in the world. When the reclusive owner of Duskwood Manor opens the door to five teams of paranormal investigators, there's no way my team can say no. But there are no ghosts here. There are monsters. They live under my bed, in my closet, and watch me from the shadows, whispering filthy visions in my ear at night. Begging me to come with them to their world—the Void, where the monsters roam free . . . where they teach me what it really means to want.

I'm twenty-six years old, and I want to die. So when I wake up at the hospital with my brother weeping over me, I know my life is about to change. What I didn't expect was to get a nurse with cruel eyes and a morbid sense of humor that surpasses my own. I'm even more surprised when I arrive at Harlow Sanctum and realize that my brother selected an unorthodox rehabilitation center that rooms people based on their treatment plan. And my roommate is none other than the man with cruel eyes I met the day prior.

I always knew darkness crept through this city; like a shadow, it never really goes away, always watching, always waiting. People sin and people kill; it's a way of life. I just never expected to be thrown into the middle of a war I had no hope of surviving. Alexander Silver is as brutal as he is beautiful. A devil in disguise. The man destined to end me. I didn't go looking for trouble, and yet it found me, nonetheless. I could either join it or let it crush me.

Story
I’m a Nightmare, a creature that feeds on fear, and I’m capable of boundless cruelty—which is why my services come at a steep price: the life of the person who hired me. As such, the only people who hire me on are those brought to me by fate, like Mina, a woman so desperate for revenge that she’s willing to spend her own life to get it. I don’t usually care why I’m hired. Human affairs don’t matter to me. Food is food, and a job is a job. Mina’s enemies will get what they deserve—and I’ll get what’s mine. Her beating heart.

I haven’t read anything from this author. And damn this won’t be the last book either. I am hoping book 2 comes sooner then later. This book is so intense and spicy world came.
This is by far one of the darkest audiobooks that I have ever listened too. Yes this audiobook took me a little longer to finish. I just couldn’t and wouldn’t rush through this. Something very new to me. And I wanted every detail. I loved the world and the characters this author created. The narrators chef kiss. There was never a moment where I couldn’t stop this book.
Yes there is a lot mention of blood and death and sexual assault.
But if this darkenesss is your cup of tea. I highly recommend this book/audiobook.

Oh my god. This book was absolutely screwed, in the best way possible. Two days on from finishing it and I am still trying to wrap my head around everything that occurred. The writing was beautiful, the character development was impeccable, the storyline. Just, shut up. I ✨𝑐𝑎𝑛’𝑡 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛✨ I loved it so much. Did I know what was going to happen? I had an inkling, but the way it evolved and erupted was just absolute perfection. This baby was dark. Like 𝘿𝘼𝙍𝙆, and yet still so beautiful. The story itself is a standalone, but I need more. In any form I can get it.
But, oh my 𝑔𝑜𝑑. The story itself was absolute gold, and the narration just brought it to life. I can still feel the slither of his voice on my skin. The whisper in the dark. There was a quality to the narrative that immersed me in a way I’ve never experienced. I wouldn’t call it the full cinematic experience that some novels have, but the little sound effects made the whole experience enthralling. 𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘶𝘮𝘦𝘥.

The dual narration was so well done. I'll never understand how narrators can sound like entirely different people for different perspectives, they excelled at it in this one. This is the first audio I've listened to with sound effects and it really added to the experience, especially as someone who imagines scenes playing in my mind as I read and listen to books. Definitely a favorite audio experience for me!

I'm sure the physical book is great but the Audio is a whole experience and this is probably one of the only books I would 💯 recommend the audio over the physical. (And I'm a physical book lover)
Ok now I will warn you... This book is DARK! Like serial killer dark.. And if you're the type that needs a happy ending then this might not be the book for you. It's a jekyll and Hyde/ Jack the Ripper retelling and it's sooo good! Lots of blood and gore so if you have triggers please check the trigger warning as every trigger listed IS IN the book heavy!
Dont let The house of whispers cover fool you into thinking it's just a dark fantasy, this is a dark psychological thriller fantasy that will have you wondering what is real.
FYI you may need to have a drink ready when the book end if your not already drinking because you will need to process the ending. I stared at the wall for an hour drinking wine, trying to process the last 2 hours of the book..

The narration was outstanding. It utilized a dual style that perfectly complemented the story. Both narrators brought the characters to life, making them feel incredibly real. At times, I felt like a bystander rather than just a listener.

I loved this book sooo much that i purchased a hard copy.
I enjoyed every stage of the book. There was not a single moment of boredom. If darkness is your friend - then this book is perfect choice for you. Spice, blood and tension. I cant wait for the book 2. The narrators did a perfect job. Both were excellent choices for the main characters. I fell in love with the male narrator's voice ❤️
I will definitely listen to this book again!
