When the Birds Come

De: Vanessa Jones

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

What she discovers in the woods will change her life—and her marriage—forever.

Sophie’s life is unraveling in ways she can’t explain. Since her thirtieth birthday, a recurring nightmare has taken root—an eerie vision of a strange rock buried deep in the woods. When her husband, Alex, vanishes without a trace, Sophie is left clinging to the frayed threads of her sanity.

In search of answers, she turns to her therapist, Carla, whose quiet presence becomes her only lifeline. But the visions intensify. The birds arrive—relentless, uncanny, hurling themselves at her windows like omens. And she begins to feel that someone—or something—is watching her.

Then Sophie finds her husband’s keyring. The moment sharpens her fear into something colder: Alex isn’t just missing. He may never return.

When the Birds Come is a chilling psychological thriller that is an atmospheric descent into loss and the shadowy terrain of memory, whilst leaving the reader questioning the fine line between mysticism and madness.


Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden and Riley Sager, When the Birds Come delivers an eerie, psychological punch that lingers long after the final page.

Previously published under the title The Tens, this version is significantly rewritten.

Surprisingly Better Performance of Virtual Voice

A curious story, some what engaging, somewhat predictable. What wasn’t predictable was how improved Virtual Voice has become! I decided to give it a try & it did a good job in most instances of conveying emotion, not as well as a Human, but definitely better than even last year!

No idea if the story is good...

I can't tell you if the story was any good or not- I couldn't get past the terrible virtual reader.

Weird

This was a very strange story. I would not recommend it. It was read by AI. It gave the story a robotic vibe.
