À propos de cet audio
The New York Times best-selling author of Promise Not to Tell returns with a simmering literary thriller about ghostly secrets, dark choices, and the unbreakable bond between mothers and daughters...sometimes too unbreakable.
West Hall, Vermont, has always been a town of strange disappearances and old legends. The most mysterious is that of Sara Harrison Shea, who, in 1908, was found dead in the field behind her house just months after the tragic death of her daughter, Gertie. Now, in present day, 19-year-old Ruthie lives in Sara's farmhouse with her mother, Alice, and her younger sister, Fawn. Alice has always insisted that they live off the grid, a decision that suddenly proves perilous when Ruthie wakes up one morning to find that Alice has vanished without a trace. Searching for clues, she is startled to find a copy of Sara Harrison Shea's diary hidden beneath the floorboards of her mother's bedroom. As Ruthie gets sucked deeper into the mystery of Sara's fate, she discovers that she's not the only person who's desperately looking for someone that they've lost. But she may be the only one who can stop history from repeating itself.

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 10
For nearly two decades, Jamie Warren has been running from darkness. He's haunted by a traumatic childhood and the guilt at having disappeared from his disabled brother's life. But then a series of unusual events reunites him with his estranged brother and their childhood friends, and none of them can deny the sense of fate that has seemingly drawn them back together. Nor can they deny the memories of that summer, so long ago—the strange magic taught to them by an even stranger man, and the terrible act that has followed them all into adulthood.

As sad as it is suspenseful
Great supernatural mystery. Guessed some parts but was surprised by others. Unpretentious and just the right amount of spooky.

A Spooky, Engaging Story
I really enjoyed this book, my favourite out of the last 10 or so books I've read. I am a horror fan, so I enjoyed the simple, creepy moments such as a knocking on the closet door or the glimpse of a shape in the trees. The story was very interesting and kept me engaged right until the end. The book jumps in time to different characters but it is never confusing due to the chapter heads and character voices. It's not perfect, the characters made a few dumb choices to ensure the plot moved forward, but overall it was a rich story with believable, developed characters. Some other reviews mention the fact the narrator whispers. I also found this off-putting at first but note that it is only for the first chapter, for one particular character. The whispering does not continue for the entire book and I found the narrator did a great job with emotion and variation in the character voices. If you're the type of person that likes ghost stories around the campfire, you should like this book.

Creepy & enthralling
This book was captivating and creepy! Really enjoyed it. Worth a credit to listen to. Enough twists to keep me listening nonstop.
I have heard Cassandra Campbell before and enjoyed her narration - both were great. There were times where the character Sara sounded a bit like the inflections of Moira Rose from Schitt’s Creek and that was at bit distracting, haha, but otherwise enjoyed the narration.

Great story, great narrator!
This half ghost/half witchy thriller was suspenseful in a horror way, and in a mystery way. Loved every minute of it, I just wish there was more of it!

Neat Historical Ghost Story
I saw some other reviews complaining about the whispery voice, but the bulk of the story doesn't have the whisperiness of the sample. There are times when the narrator lowers their voice a bit, but I didn't find it annoying at all, and I didn't have to adjust the volume up or down at all. Overall, the narration was good.
The story involves a bit of jumping back and forth between different time periods, which I found a little confusing at first, but it doesn't take long to figure who's who and when's when.
Good story overall, if you're looking for something sort of atmospheric and supernatural, but still with a bit of depth and substance to it.
