Resumen del Editor

Abby looks forward to meeting the family who just moved in across the street - until she realizes they're the one couple who could expose her deepest secrets.

After a night of fun back in 1992, Abby is responsible for a car crash that kills her beloved brother. It's a mistake she can never forgive, so she pushes away Liam, the man she loves most, knowing that he would eventually hate her for what she's done, the same way she hates herself.

Twenty years later, Abby's husband, Nate, is also living with a deep sense of guilt. He was the driver who first came upon the scene of Abby's accident, the man who pulled her to safety before the car erupted in flames - the man who could not save her brother in time. It's this guilt, this regret, that binds them together. They understand each other. Or so Nate believes.

In a strange twist of fate, Liam moves into the neighborhood with his own family, releasing a flood of memories that Abby has been trying to keep buried all these years. Abby and Liam, in a complicit agreement, pretend never to have met, yet cannot resist the pull of the past - nor the repercussions of the terrible secrets they've both been carrying....

Wow! What an ending

I enjoyed this book. It pulled me in from the very beginning and it did not disappoint. I liked the ending and enjoyed the narration. I highly recommend this book.

LOVED UNTIL THE VERY END!!

I love this one!! Story and narration was pretty fricken awesome. I will definitely listen to this one again at a later time. Narration was my favorite!

MUST READ!

Definitely did not expect this ending! Soooo good! I was hooked the whole time - when you think you know….. you don’t!

Riveting

Such a twist at the end! I loved this book. The narration is excellent as well. A must listen!

Feeling Frustrated!

No spoilers, but this book was really frustrating, first let me tell you what I liked:

1. Character Development was amazing and on point
2. The narration was tremendous, what a great production!
3. Very likable characters for the most part

Now here is what i didn't love.... THE END! I gave this book 4 stars because I really liked it, but the end frustrated me so much! AHHHHHH!

Worth the credit, but a very annoying end.

Good story

The ending was unexpected but very well done. I loved how it ended. Kudos kudos

Well Done! Enjoyable!

The Neighbors by Hannah Mary McKinnon is a compelling listen and a good psychological thriller. I was pleasantly surprised at the story and the characters. It's doesn't fall flat in any way (except maybe the end a little). I loved the four different narrators, which in my opinion always brings the story to life for the listener. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a good thriller.

more soap opera than suspense

I find the reviews of this book noting the "twists and turns" and "edge of your seat suspense" to be a bit generous.  A more appropriate genre than suspense/thriller would be soap opera/scandal.  I kept waiting for the big surprise that was going to leave me in shock, but it never came. I saw the 'twists' coming without the unfolding that keeps me guessing and on the edge of my seat like plenty of other suspense novels have, but it was entertaining enough.

Good narration, loved the ending

This book wasn’t what I was expecting at all! Hannah Mary McKinnon tends to do that to me.

This story is about a woman who must live with a horrible trauma she blames herself for, a man re-emerges with tons of secrets under his belt, and their two significant others who are caught in the crossfires of their spouse’s passionate affair.

I was teetering on a 3 and a 4 ⭐️ review with this book because I didn’t know how much I was liking the story and the characters in the beginning and middle of the book. I found every character to be completely flawed and there was no one for me to root for. Then I got to thinking... 💭 THAT WAS THE WHOLE POINT OF THE STORY! These people, every single one of them, are a$$holes! It’s like watching one giant 💣 go tick...tick...BOOM! Their lives were all effected by secrets and the past and no one had any clue how deep they were in their hole (figuratively and literally).

I also love the fact that we never got to go in the perspective of one specific character. I’m glad HMM chose to do that, because I would have hated myself for even liking this person, come the ending. Because no matter what, each perspective we heard, albeit they were all horrible people, had some attempt at making them redeemable.

I would characterize this book as Fiction/Drama; not so much Thriller. There was never really a mystery, in the sake of murder or danger. It was just flat out drama. Because of this, I do loveeee the ending. I felt like I was watching Jerry Springer. Secrets were being dropped left from right. It was great!
