The Guests

A Thriller

De: Margot Hunt

Narrado por: Amy McFadden, Sarah Naughton, Michael Crouch, Soneela Nankani, A.J. Beckles

From USA Today bestselling author Margot Hunt comes the chilling tale of what happens when a family besieged by a storm must play host to uninvited guests.

When a Category 5 hurricane is poised to hit their coastal Florida town, the Davies family takes refuge in their waterfront manse. Marlowe, Lee, and their teenage twins invite their close friends to wait out the storm in comfort and style.

Uninvited are the three strangers who dock on the family’s shore right before the storm descends. Brothers Jason and Bo—and Bo’s girlfriend, Darcy—are a charming, helpful trio in need of a safe haven that the family is only too happy to provide.

But as the storm outside grows more threatening, so does the tension in the house.

Soon, the lines between family, friends, and strangers blur. Danger mounts with every pointed finger and broken confidence, and long-held secrets are revealed one after another until only one truth remains: not everyone is going to make it out alive.

Eh

I can’t tell if the narrator made this book dull, or if it was actually flat. There were several twists, but the narrator made it hard to get excited.

Predictable

I enjoyed the narration but every part of the story could be predicted in the first few chapters.

awesome!

this was really good, couldn't stop listening. kept me interested. all the narrators did a great job.

Bad Narration

I didn’t hate the story, but the narration was distracting at times and completely awful for Felix in particular. I was looking forward to this one based on the premise, but I found myself rolling my eyes throughout. The characters are so dimwitted. It felt more like a YA novel. I wish I would’ve saved my credit.

Good story

I like this very much however I do not enjoy this narrator. She speaks like she is reading a children’s book
