All I Want

A Novel

De: Darcey Bell

Narrado por: Emily Tremaine, Kevin R. Free, Madeleine Maby

A “sly and genuinely creepy” (PopSugar) suspense novel about a young couple whose disintegrating marriage and remote new home make for a terrifying descent into the darker side of human nature—from the New York Times bestselling author of A Simple Favor.

When Emma’s husband, Ben, falls in love with a large Victorian mansion for sale in rural upstate New York, he swears to her the fixer-upper will be worth the risk. With a baby on the way, Emma would like to live in a charming, safe community, and in a space larger than a one-bedroom New York City apartment. On impulse, she agrees to Ben’s plan, and they put in an offer on the house.

Sure, the mansion has a somewhat creepy backstory and is a bit dilapidated, but Emma and Ben are in this together. When strange things start happening, Emma begins to experience a little buyer’s remorse. What’s the real history of this house? Is its dark history repeating itself? Why does her husband suddenly seem so distant? Is she in danger? Is her baby?

An intensely “chilling novel” (Shelf Awareness), All I Want combines the domestic anxiety of Liane Moriarty with the haunting twists and turns of Shirley Jackson.

What?

Okay great book but what the f*** on the ending!?!? I am so confused. What did I just read?

Read All Chapters before Reviewing

I actually am going against all the 2🌟 ratings that I saw on Goodreads. To me, this was an excellent psychological thriller and that left my head spinning with unanswered questions. What is the real story here? I thinking, "what just happened???!!". Which, sometimes, is the effect I want to have from a book. I think the movie will be awesome!

It was good until

I stayed up to finish it cause I was invested. The last chapter ruined it.

That Ending...

I enjoyed it, even though I saw a lot of it coming...until the ending.

Ending is disorienting

Interesting story and characters. The end is very disorienting and I wonder if an alternate ending would be preferable. Narrators are monotone. Did not enjoy the narrators at all
