The Haunting of Blackstone Mansion

The Blackstone Trilogy Book 1

By: Augustine Pierce

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

An abandoned mansion. A restless spirit. A terrible secret...

Fleeing a recent tragedy, antiques expert Katherine seeks refuge in Blackstone, Oregon, a tiny town nestled in the shadow of majestic Mt. Hood. But her sanctuary soon becomes a nightmare when she stumbles upon the long-abandoned Blackstone mansion, its dark halls whispering with secrets.

As Katherine explores the labyrinthine rooms filled with priceless antiques, she realizes she's not alone. In the shadows, she can see the tiniest movements, feel the deepest chills, and hear the faintest sounds. The restless spirit of a young woman reaches out to her, desperate to be heard.

Determined to help put the ghost to rest, Katherine delves into the mansion's tragic past. With the aid of unlikely new friends, she uncovers a history of jealousy, unrequited love, and murder. But the truth is far more sinister than she could have imagined.

Caught in a dangerous web of lies and deception, Katherine's time is running out. The spirits of Blackstone mansion are awakening, and they hunger for more than just justice. To free the ghost and save herself, Katherine must confront the darkness within the mansion's walls – even if it costs her her sanity... or her life.

In this chilling tale of supernatural suspense, the past refuses to stay buried, and the line between the living and the dead blurs with every passing shadow.

Love the book hate the narration.

I didn’t like the AI reading the story. It lacks human like qualities. Also idk how everyone sounded British and they were from Oregon and New York. The story was amazing and I can’t wait to read the next one.

The audio was a little difficult to follow.

The story was fantastic, engaging, and believable. The writing was excellent. I enjoyed it very much.

Slow moving

The story was not half bad but the narration by virtual voice was very disappointing. It was like listening to maps telling me which street to take next. Narration by a human with emotion would have made the book for me much better.
Sorry but virtual voice is something I will stay away from when purchasing an audible book.

For the love of god I hated the narrator 

Was this an auto voice?! No difference in any of the characters voices. I hated this so much.

Great story

Great story. Virtual voice took time to get used to, quality needs improvement. I w

Virtual Voice sucks

It was painful listening to this book. It lacked the human nuance that audiobooks require, making it reminiscent of selecting read aloud for a text book. Also, the narration made it feel awkward, negating the quality of the story.

Boring narration

May be a good story but couldn’t listen to entire book, the narration is too boring.

no more AI voices

unfortunately, the AI voice was not entertaining. a human narrator would have done the story justice. Disappointing

well written

sadly the AI narration was subpar. I will not listen to a narration by AI again

Awful narration…

Virtual voice had NO variance between male and female, seems to disregard punctuation, and mispronounced certain words. Hard to understand who was talking when and differentiate between narration and speaking parts. Wish they’d do away with VN altogether!! For that reason the story itself wasn’t really worth listening to. It seemed like it may have been written by a high schooler! Oh well, can’t win them all
