Resumen del Editor

It began as their dream home...but soon became their worst nightmare.
From award-winning writer Brandon Massey comes a riveting thriller of the supernatural invading the lives of an ordinary family.
Len and Olivia Bowden had been seeking the ideal home in which to raise their daughter, Kennedy. The classic Victorian in a historic Atlanta neighborhood had everything they were looking for: lots of room in which to grow, friendly neighbors, and best of all, a bargain price, the result of a bank foreclosure. Hardly able to believe their good fortune, they move in and begin making plans for a promising future.
Then the stranger arrives at their front door. An elderly man, he claims that a con artist deceived him in a mortgage deal, leading to the foreclosure on the house into which they’ve moved. He asserts that the property still rightfully belongs to him.
And he demands that they move out within three days. Or else.
When they refuse to give in to his demands, they are confident the incident will blow over, and they take reassurance in their legal rights to the home. But the disturbing confrontation with the stranger is only the beginning...
Doors open and shut on their own. Footsteps creak across the old floors. And young Kennedy is convinced that she sees monsters lurking in the shadows...
As the incidents worsen, they realize that their very lives depend upon finding out what's really going on. But once they finally discover the shocking truth about the old house and its mysterious former resident, it may already be too late.

Not a fan of virtual but this one was one of the better ones I’ve heard

This was enjoyable. Kept listening waiting to see what would happen next. Really like the family members Len the best.

AI narration

The AI narration leaves so much to be desired; cadence is sometimes off, nuance isn’t expressed and some words like “wound” are pronounced incorrectly in relation to the context; “wound” as is being hurt vs “wound” as in wound a rope around a tree

Great story but…

This AI nonsense is horrible.. pronouncing voodoo like “voe doo” made me absolutely nauseated!! Stop using AI. Story was good though

Family

The whole book was enjoyable to listen to the narration was great can not wait to read more of this books

good storyline

I love all of Brandon Massey stories his writing skills are brilliant! I really didn't care for the virtual narrator to flat and not enough characters engaging and differentiate in voices

PLEASE no more AI narration…

Toward the end of 2023, I noticed that the majority of newly released horror and scifi audible options were utilizing AI generated narration. I’ve given this format three separate chances, and i can confidently state that it’s absolutely unbearable. The multitude of human nuances that cannot be taught to a computer program are on full display here… the nature of “reading” vs “understanding” means that colloquialisms, accents, inflection, speech patterns and other uniquely human attributes are lost, which surprisingly makes the stories difficult to follow. The most glaring annoyance might be the AI’s inability to process onomatopoeia, reading a sentence like “Jenny harshly hissed ‘PSSSSSST’…” as “Jenny harshly hissed pea ess ess ess ess ess ess tee…” Finally, it bears mentioning that im left deeply disappointed in audible for utilizing this sort of substandard corner cutting to avoid paying the skilled human voice artists who bring stories to life (and who are responsible for Audible’s very existence and success) Stories written by humans for humans require a human voice. I really hope audible stops this nonsense soon.
