Lost Soul Series, Book 2

De: M. L. Rayner

Narrado por: Russ Bain

In the wake of abandoning his land during the Highland Famine, Peter Daily struggles to accept the hauntings that have plagued his past. Attempting to flee his torments, he travels far to his childhood refuge on the Scottish Isle of Lismore, a small island cut off by high cliffs and churning waters. But escaping one's past is never as simple as it first seems. When the darkness descends, Daily is tormented by the memories he longs to suppress, forcing him to relive the horrors suffered by those he has cruelly wronged.

In current times, Leslie Wills seeks to uncover the truth. Driven by his connection, he delves into the past, determined to expose the shadows that cling to him.

One thing is certain. No matter where you try to hide, fear will always find you.

amazing performance of Rayner's best work yet!

"It is without a shadow's doubt the best thing you have written. The best thing anyone has ever written, or I have ever read, for that matter."

See what I did there? ;)

How on earth can one artiticulate so well the verbiage and language of times long since passed? Even more so, the ability to make you feel present in those long ago times experiencing a long ago way of life. Such an extraordinary talent indeed. Or Matt is well and truly the ghost of Peter Daily himself come to tell his tale so that he and his wretched self truly cannot ever be forgotten.....

I have always found history intriguing. I love the mystery and the solving and the putting the whole story together piece by piece. It is just oh so very satisfying.

The way he can effortlessly and flawlessly switch from present day to the language and mannerisms of the past is absolutely remarkable.

From the very first page to the last you are engulfed in the mystery and as desperate for answers as Les. Matt has you at the literal edge of the cliffs of Lismore throughout the entire book. Hanging on to every word, not able to consume fast enough.

Ugh! I cannot say how much I absolutely loved this book! If you are into the unknown, the mystery, emotion, ghosts & time long since past- this is a *must read*!

I've already read this book and listening to it made it an even more incredible experience. hands down my favorite book!
