Emma Donovan thought she had left the small town of Blackthorn behind for good. But when the chance to return to her hometown presents itself, she decides to take it—hoping the quiet life she’s been missing might offer the peace she’s longed for. What she doesn’t expect is the string of gruesome murders that begins to haunt the small town, each one eerily similar to a tragedy from years ago.

As the killings spiral closer to home, Emma is drawn into the investigation, finding herself at the center of a mystery that links her directly to the victims. As the townspeople whisper, and the clues mount, Emma must confront the chilling possibility that someone in Blackthorn is using her to recreate a past she can’t remember—and may never have understood.With time running out and danger closing in, Emma will have to uncover the truth behind the murders, all while grappling with her own forgotten memories. In Blackthorn, some secrets refuse to stay buried—and some of them may be her own.

Amazing book, great narration

Really enjoy this book, the narrator was absolutely fantastic. I was captivated the whole entire time.

awesome standalone!

Michelle is the master of the big reveal..I cant get enough of her awesome audiobooks

The narrator was terrible!

The narrator talked super monotone and would stop in the middle of sentences. The character would be yelling something or super emotional and she would talk as if she was practically whispering in monotone and super slowly, and even pause in the middle of the sentences. It was so bad I almost didn’t even listen to the book. The story is good, so that’s what kept my interest.

Great Read

Outstanding. What makes a psychological thriller a 5⭐️ read? When you have that WTF moment when the truth comes out. Sure, it was one of my first guesses, but the way i went back and forth, side to side, and up and down, I was certain that was not how it would end.

The great details and information provided throughout so that you could follow along with the crime was just enough, but not enough in the same breath.

A quick, thought-provoking mess that keeps you invested until the last sentence. And then you get to think, "Does that mean there's another one?"

Narrator: The Narrator was able to portray the feelings it needed. She was easy to understand and kept you interested in the story.

Issue with Narration: There were a lot of words missed, sentences rearranged or missed, and wrong words all together. I read the physical along with the audio and found it distracting.

Shocking Twist!

Very well written and could not believe the turn this book took! Had me saying “Holy S”.

Entertaining and exciting!
