À propos de cet audio
Abby Kimball has just moved to New England with her boyfriend and is trying to settle in, but the experience is proving to be quite unsettling, to say the least. While on a tour of local historic homes, Abby witnesses a family scene that leaves her gasping for breath - because the family has been dead for nearly a century. Another haunting episode follows, and another, until it seems to Abby that everything she touches is drawing her in, calling to her from the past.
Abby would doubt her sanity if it weren't for Ned Newhall, the kind and knowledgeable guide on that disturbing house tour. Rather than telling her she's hallucinating, Ned takes an interest in Abby's strange encounters and encourages her to figure out what's going on, starting with investigating the story of the family she saw and exploring her own past.
But as Abby begins to piece together a history that's as moving as it is shocking and unravels a long-ago mystery that nearly tore her family apart, she also begins to suspect that Ned's got secrets of his own and that his interest may be driven as much by a taste for romance as by a love for history.

Not bad
This was cute, it was fun to listen to Abby figure her gifts out. I was interested in it but I found the charaters need to talk to each other alot. Thats a recurring theme.
But over all it was a good story and I enjoyed it. Im glad it was free and I will listen to the series because the charaters are sweet and I like them.

So very boring!
At first, the one star wasn’t because of the story it was because of how similar the story in Concept seemed to Agatha Christie’s miss Marple sleeping murder.
Then I continued to listen to the book and though the bare bones followed, miss Marple’s BBC episode of Agatha Christie’s book. This author added so much filler that this book became ridiculously boring.
Everything was in detail almost too much detail …forget almost, definitely too much detail, like she was trying to fill a word count, and so decided to immerse you in so much detail to carry you along on the story. For those of you who are not familiar with BBC’s version of Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple sleeping murder, in the episode, there is a young lady who has a fiancé who is in finance and he’s a douche. She goes to a small seaside town to purchase a home believing she’s never been to the town or the home before and as soon as she walks in, she has a vision and with Miss Marple‘s help and the very sweet as pie real estate agent, they investigate her past and her genealogy to figure out the mystery. So the overall concept is very similar to this book and this book may have been better if the author had just thrown in a murder, but then it would have been almost identical to Agatha Christie’s book.
Abby was the most infuriating character. Not only was she so negative about herself constantly referring to herself as Boring and never really speaking her mind. The amount of conversations she has with her fiancé where she says things internally, but is so passive externally, irritated me, the entire relationship, irritated me, and the fact that after only dating for a year or less than a year, she packs up and moves cross country with him all because as she claims he was one of the first people to say I love you? really?? throughout this entire book I found her very annoying and after a while, I found myself skipping through the chapters.
If there is a number two in the series, I will definitely be skipping it. There is no excitement in this book. Nothing to really draw you in. From the get-go Ned mentioned ‘maybe you have a connection with these people’ so you already know that there will be a connection between her and the people she can see …that’s the entire book. The rest is just mundane. Even the random times she sees a spirit after touching something starts to get boring because you’re like OK already so you get flashes from touching random things it’s time to stop touching and just get on with the investigation. I almost expected that there was gonna be someone chasing after them trying to prevent her from gathering the information probably would’ve made this book 10 times better if there was some kind of danger involved, but it’s literally a whole bunch of historical information. I have no idea if it’s true or not. I don’t really care if it’s true or not.
