Donn's Hill

By: Caryn Larrinaga

Narrated by: Jessica McEvoy

"Grief can change us... rewire our brains and shift the way we look at the world..."

After returning home from her father's funeral to find her boyfriend in bed with another woman, Mackenzie Clair is looking for a fresh start. She thinks she'll find it in her favorite childhood vacation spot, but returning to Donn's Hill awakens more than nostalgia. Mac regains a lost psychic ability to talk to the dead, and the poltergeist haunting her apartment is desperate to make her use that gift to find his killer.

Aided by her new roommate - a spirited Tortoiseshell cat named Striker, and the ghost-hunting crew of the nationally televised show Soul Searchers, Mac struggles to learn how to use her powers. But she'd better get a handle on them fast, because someone in town is hiding a deadly secret. If Mac can't somehow divine the truth, Donn's Hill will never be the same.

Fun little mystery

This is a fun little mystery that will keep your attention all throughout. And of course, the narration by Jessica McEvoy is top notch as always. I'll listen to anything she narrates.

Caryn this is the best

This is the kind of book you should write as a detective paranormal series. I loved it and the narrator.

Donn's Hill

Caryn Larrinaga’s first installment to her The Soul Searchers Mysteries series, Donn's Hill, was a fabulous first introduction to her work. I had the pleasure of listening to the audio version with Jessica McEvoy narrating. She did a wonderful job bringing this story to life. I was intrigued with MacKenzie and the mystery she was involved in.
I am giving Donn’s Hill a very well deserved five plus stars. I look forward to reading the next installment from The Soul Searchers Mysteries series, Donn’s Shadow.
I received the audio version of this book from the publisher. This review is 100% my own honest opinion.

Great story, great narrator.

I have to confess that I came to this book after being a long time listener to a podcast, and I expected this book to be at leas

Starts slow but good characters and great narrator

I chose to listen to this book after receiving a free audio copy from Audiobookworm Promotions. All opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased.

Mac moves to Donn’s Hill which she has fond memories of visiting when she was young. As she starts a new page in her life, her psychic abilities are heightened. Her character is developed throughout the story and as Mac learns more about herself, the reader learns more about her as well. The other characters are interesting, some quirky, and although they’re not as well developed as Mac, they add a lot to the story. My favorite character is Mac’s cat, Striker. Actually, I’m not sure if Striker belongs to Mac or if it’s the other way around.

The story started slowly but became more interesting once Mac meets the Soul Searchers, a group who help people find closure with ghosts, and they even have their own show. They’re excited to have a psychic on their team before Mac even realizes that that is what she is. Shortly after she joins the Soul Searchers, Mac finds a body and realizes that it’s the man (poltergeist) who has been haunting her since she arrived in town. She has so many questions once she finds the body! Will she be able to sort things out? Will she be able to find the killer?

Jessica McEvoy does a great job with the different voices in the story. She’s the perfect narrator for Donn’s Hill. This is more a performance than a narration and she brings the story alive. I did have to increase the speed to 1.3X because the narration was a little slow but then it was perfect.

I’m looking forward to listening the next book in the series!
