Publisher's summary

Charity Evans wants nothing more than to leave her troubled past behind and start afresh. The teacher at a London school for orphans is encouraged to have her memories blocked by hypnotist Samuel Gladstone, but when they experience visions with an unknown third person, they realize the past can never be truly erased. And now that past is returning to haunt Charity all over again.

Samuel is determined to help her, but how can a woman who trusts no man trust a hypnotist? And what dark secrets changed the charming gentleman into a desperate man who’ll do anything to keep those secrets buried?

Narrator is awful.

The narration is stiff and robotic. The story is good, but it’s very difficult to get through due to the narrator. I’ll be reading books 2 and 3 instead of continuing to struggle.

The narrator is not good.

This narrator sounds like she is reading a newspaper. It takes away from the story.

Story ok. Narrator not.

I made it through the whole book only because I have enjoyed so many of CJ Archers books. The story finally got interesting about half way through. The beginning was dull and felt disjointed. The narrator reads like a robot at times. Very odd. Not sure if I’ll continue with the second, but maybe.

Interesting story ridiculous reader

I really enjoy CJ Archer books and was excited to get to this trilogy. While the story could have been fun to listen to, the reader majorly missed the mark. It was mostly flat until she broke into some bizarre cadence of illogical over exaggeration.

Almost unbearable.

How can a narrator be both flat and unnecessarily exaggerated in her elocution? It makes me grit my teeth. I’ve listened to almost all of CJ Archer’s books but the narrators of the first two trilogies of Freak House are just painful. The first shrieked and sing-singed her way through the story, and this one doesn’t seem to know when to pause, start a sentence or show emotion with any normalcy. I may not be able to finish it.

Reader is not good

I made it thru despite the reader. Her pace and intonation of words and phrases is awful. It really detracts from the story which is lovely. Not sure can listen to the other two books done by this chick.

Narration abysmal

Ruined the story. Inflection off and accent forced. Story would have been better received if not for that.
