Margot Hunt
About this listen
From USA Today bestselling author Margot Hunt comes the chilling tale of what happens when a family besieged by a storm must play host to uninvited guests.
When a Category 5 hurricane is poised to hit their coastal Florida town, the Davies family takes refuge in their waterfront manse. Marlowe, Lee, and their teenage twins invite their close friends to wait out the storm in comfort and style.
Uninvited are the three strangers who dock on the family’s shore right before the storm descends. Brothers Jason and Bo—and Bo’s girlfriend, Darcy—are a charming, helpful trio in need of a safe haven that the family is only too happy to provide.
But as the storm outside grows more threatening, so does the tension in the house.
Soon, the lines between family, friends, and strangers blur. Danger mounts with every pointed finger and broken confidence, and long-held secrets are revealed one after another until only one truth remains: not everyone is going to make it out alive.

Story
It’s been ten years since Priscilla and her Zeta Phi Zeta sorority sisters graduated college. Ten years since they were all in the same room together. Ten years since one of them died. And now Lupé’s killer has been released from prison on a technicality, days before their ten-year reunion. Priscilla decides that the party must go on; Lupé would have wanted it to. And besides, an epic reunion bash might be the perfect distraction. Back together, the Zetas party like it’s 2012, and it’s wild, just the way it used to be. Maybe too wild.

What the critics say
“Narrators Amy McFadden, Sarah Naughton, Michael Crouch, Soneela Nankani, and A.J. Beckles give dramatic and engaging performances as the various friends, family members, and foes. From enmity to anxiety, they expertly portray every emotional moment. Will appeal to listeners seeking a fast-paced, family-centered suspense. Recommended for fans of Joy Fielding, Robyn Harding, and Adrian McKinty.”—Library Journal
“An irresistible way to kill the hours while you wait for the power to come back on.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Hunt’s skillful sleight of hand and well-drawn characters create palpable menace, placing this a cut above standard-issue locked-room thrillers. It will leave readers breathless.”—Publishers Weekly

it was all painful
does the author know any conversational verb besides "said"?
text reads like this (not a quote):
"look into my eyes," Jane said.
"I can't see them, " joe said.
"that's because your eyes are closed, " she said.
"you think you always know everything, don't you?" he said.
it's excruciating to listen to. And then there is the painfully obvious plot.

Review
I enjoyed this read and finished it quickly. In the beginning I found it very predictable and though there were a few twists and turns it again became fairly predictable. I did enjoy that the audio format had a different narrator for each character. However, I found it really annoying when each character referred to them selves in the third person and the children referred to their parents by their names instead of mom or dad. To me that felt a little odd and took away some of the realism.
Overall it was an interesting story and if you are looking for an easy thriller this one may be it!

Not worth the time
Characters that I never liked or felt in touch with, a predictable and juvenile story line and a narrator that grated on my every nerve. Needless to say I did NOT care for this book. I'm not sure where the glowing reviews come from for this book but everything about it was bad, in my opinion. Within an hour of listening I had to cringe at almost every line. Good authors use words that add meaning and substance to the story, terrible authors use words to fill up chapters and have no meaning or story value. This book is filled with the latter. And why are the physical characteristics of every male in the book described in detail as though it is a dating site description when it has no bearing on the story? No one knows except the author I suppose.
Worst book I've read in a loooog while. Don't waste your time.

An original gripping thriller filled with heart.
It took me a few chapters to fall into the rhythm of this story but I persevered because I'm familiar with Margot Hunt's other work, and I know I can trust her to take me somewhere new, layered and exciting. She did not disappoint with The Guests. I'm often distrustful of a cast of many narrators as they can tend to be confusing or fail to present a story that flows. I found each of the narrators in this audiobook perfect for their role, and I ended up enjoying each of them in their characters. I also appreciated the nanosecond extra bit of a break between chapters that I found helped the listener to ease into the next section, almost like a palate cleanser. I loved the audiobook. and rate it an easy 5 out of 5. Thanks again, Ms. Hunt!
