Ghosts of Royston

By: Eric G. Dove

Narrated by: Eric G. Dove

Cole Danner survived.

His wife and daughter didn’t.

The authorities assured him.

Alone, severely injured and suicidal, he has no memory of how he escaped the crash into a mountain lake that claimed his girls.

Until a series of otherworldly and brutal flashbacks brings him back from the brink, convinces him the crash was no accident, and leads him on a bewildering journey in search of his presumed-dead daughter.

Sophie Danner survived.

Her father and mother didn’t.

Her new family assured her.

Waking in a remote mountain shack with untreated injuries among members of a strange, cult-like community, she’s being impossibly mistaken for someone else—a teen girl who died ten years ago under mysterious circumstances.

As the dark history of the Community of Royston unravels, her only chance for survival...is to escape.

As Sophie fights for her freedom and her life, and Cole gives in to the violent forces guiding him, their paths race toward a heart-pounding collision and a fatal conclusion.

Great Story!

I did not know this was the first book in a new series but I am glad that it is. This book contained a little murder mystery, a few religious zealots, a touch of conspiracy and a bit of the super natural all rolled in to a compelling story. I look forward to seeing how the characters develop in the next installments. When is it coming out and how long before it hits Audible?

Fascinating storyteller!

Mr. Dove, I am in love with your narration. I have listened to several of the books you have narrated more than one because your voice is so enjoyable to listen to. I am looking forward to the next book in your series and also to any other books with your narration.

Pleasantly surprised by this author!

I didn't see this coming. I am pleasantly surprised by this author, (because I didn't know he was an author), and now I have one more thing to add to my "fangirl" life. I've been a fan of his narration for years and even follow his YouTube channel because I like his style. I never knew this man was a writer but I'm so happy to have the opportunity to read his first book and I was blown away!

This pulled me in from the start and kept me on the edge of my chair waiting to see what came next. There were a good amount of "hold your breath" moments and a lot of "OMG please find her" moments throughout the book. I stopped listening when I became too sleepy to continue but picked it up the next day to finish, and what a finish he gave.

The story was intriguing, interesting, and suspenseful from beginning to end. It kept me invested and hoping for a happy outcome for this family and with my fingers crossed that things would work out for this young girl. My first impression was is this going to be a ghost story? (Not something I like), but it was nothing of the sort. It was the perfect balance of suspense and intrigue, and I was glad I continued until the end. There was some sadness but that was even something I could take after hearing the outcome and knowing everything this family went through. Now I'm looking forward to seeing what the next book will contain. I was blown away by the story and interested enough to want the next one!

Chilling and had me on the edge of my seat!

Such a great story- every chapter had me ready for the next one- eager to know what happens next! Well written, well told, great narration (which I’m normally picky about.) felt like I was in the story just watching helplessly. Can’t wait for his next book!!!

Gripping and clever

This is fantastically written, fast moving thriller that keeps you guessing, and hoping and cringing at every turn.

Movie worthy.
