Thirteen years ago, Maggie Ellis left her small town and vowed to never return. In her rearview mirror were two men she loved and an ominous secret that would forever haunt her. Now, tragedy has brought her back, and she’s determined to forget that fateful night. But in a town like Myers, with familiar faces and chilling memories lurking around every corner, moving on is easier said than done.

Before the ink can dry on the closing documents for her new residence, Maggie begins to feel unsettled. In every room, there’s the unmistakable sensation she’s being watched.

When she discovers the devastating truth about the house and its grim history, Maggie’s worst fears are realized.

Absolutely Loved It!!

It’s no secret how much I love KM’s books/audios and this one has just taken the coveted top spot! Which is hard because they are all so good but this story had it all! The overall mood throughout was ominous, I was sure a ghost was going to jump out at any moment. We are all guided, persuaded, influenced by people, places, etc that are important to us. So when there is a connection to a tragic event there’s a risk of feeling trapped. The character development was extraordinary and the plot moved seamlessly between past and present to continue to build upon the angst and mystery. The added bonus was the romance, conflict, lives torn apart then slowly pieced together so brilliantly. Figuring it out early was so unimportant due to the explosive twists and revelations! #suspense #murder #lovetriangle #ghosts #lovedthis

Narration by Brittany Pressley is always so good and the emotional range she does in this story is exceptional. She completely captures personality, gender, and tone with ease thru out!!

Not her best.

Disappointed. Very repetitive. "But he's my best friend," theme could have been edited quite a bit to make this believable. The dumb woman main character was just too much for me. Seriously? Not for any woman with half a brain. Save your credit for her better works. It's long, no tension or excitement and you'll know the end half way through.

Obnoxious

I have never rolled my eyes more. Maggie is indecisive and dramatic. My recommendation - skip!

Kiersten delivers once more!!!

I started this book blindly, Narrator did a fabulous job at keeping me engaged with the story. I’m not a whole lot into romance, but this book hits all the right notes, just perfectly. Needless to say I fell in love with Tucker, and I was sometimes annoyed with Maggie for taking him for granted. I was also intrigued by the mystery going on. At the end everything is revealed and all your questions answered. 5/5 stars for this one!

Interesting! Another great read from Kiersten!

I enjoyed this book! The characters were intriguing & it kept me guessing until the end. I had tears streaming down my face at the end.
It was also the perfect length for an audiobook in my opinion.

Well Done!

A really enjoyable read. Plot was excellent and moved at just the right pace! Characters well developed and enjoyable!

A must read!!!

I loved everything about this book!! When you think you have it figured out you find out you don’t! By far one of the best books I’ve listened to!!

Bit much

Some twists and turns but a little overdone. Wanted Maggie to get it together and stop waffling. A lot of years of back and forth with these three. More romance than mystery.

Soooooo goood 👻

I just LOVE a good ghost story. And this book does not disappoint. There are so many spooky elements that really enrich this plot and I especially love the amazing character development and twisty bits to the crazy yet believable love triangle all set inside a haunted house. Brittany Pressley is a master narrator whose knack for making her many character voices sound unique is quite amazing. It just doesn’t get better than this. Looking forward to more titles by Kiersten Modglin… a new literary favorite!

Loved the storyline

I absolutely love the storyline. There are definite triggers in this book and the FMC can be a bit... much sometimes throughout the book, but the wrap up is fantastic. Not going to be a favorite book, but it is good. Please enjoy this if you like thrillers.
