De: K. E. Ganshert

Narrado por: Jorjeana Marie

A strange town. A sprawling mansion. A perilous romance.

Ever since her mother vanished, Selah Whitlock has been drawn to the unexplained. So it feels almost fated to live in Foggy Hollow, a place where mystery abounds. Even more so when her father accepts a job at the Vandenberg estate, the epicenter of the town's most infamous cold case.

Moving into the estate's carriage house pulls Selah into the orbit of the Vandenberg cousins: Jude, the brooding heir with a tragic past, and Rafe, effortlessly charming and undeniably dangerous.

Then a centuries-old portrait surfaces bearing Selah's exact likeness. Suddenly, she isn't just chasing a mystery. She's caught in the heart of one. As the town prepares to celebrate its bicentennial, Selah and Jude are pulled into a secret that spans generations. Something sinister is stirring beneath the golden leaves and carved pumpkins. And the deeper they fall, the deadlier the consequences.

The twist in the story line

Loved it can’t wait for the next book it was amazing only thing I disliked is having to wait for the next book to come out lol

A Story Worth Exploring

I actually enjoyed the story, though parts of it were harder to follow. I feel like there were a lot of names that were hard to keep straight and remember their connections, but I got all the import info out of it.
My biggest problem was the audio performance. I didn’t love the voice cadence and how slow it was, including weird, unprompted pauses. I ended up having to listen to the book at 1.3x or 1.5x speed just to make it feel like a normal listening speed.

I will probably read the next book too! The cliffhanger was a little too much for me to leave this one alone.

Loved the twists & turns.

Loved the twists & turns & unpredictability. Glad the ending I thought was coming didn’t happen. Look forward to the next one.

Female empowerment

I like a good mystery. The voices given to the males didn’t flow for me.

character development

I love the authors speech, her read and voice are prime. Her annunciations, tone and cadence are mature and relaxed. Not rushed or choppy. Even her voice patterns that lead into questions varies from her tone of anxious or happy.
