I am not welcome.
Somehow I know that. Something doesn’t want me here.

Daffodil Franklin
has plans for a quiet summer before her freshman year at college, and luckily,
she’s found the job that can give her just that: housesitting a mansionfor
a wealthy couple.

But as the summer progresses
and shadows lengthen, Daffodil comes to realize the house is more than it
appears. The spacious home seems to close in on her, and as she takes the long
road into town, she feels eyes on her the entire way, and something tugging
her back.

What Daffodil
doesn’t yet realize is that her job comes with a steep price. The house has a
long-ago grudge it needs to settle . . . and Daffodil is the key to settling
it.

Great narrator

As the title states, this isn’t actually a horror/ghost story despite what the tags imply. The narrator is great, and the story reads like a stream of consciousness from a teenager. Quick and easy listen, but not exactly what most horror or thriller fans are looking for.

Hysterical narration; obvious plot

I immediately had concerns about the narrator who was playing the role of the teenaged protagonist and all other characters - awkward and protagonist often sounded hysterical. Cannot recommend.

Ugh

Awful story. Lousy characters. Listen to something else. This one is a stinker. Narrator wasn’t too bad.
