About this listen
Mara Hawthorne found the perfect attic apartment in a small town far away from the heartbreaks of her former life in New York City. Her new home has everything she needs: an abundance of natural light for painting, a handsome landlord, and peace and quiet. But something secret hides in the shadows and watches her every move. All her life, she has wished for nothing more than someone to love, someone who would love her and never leave her. Be careful what you wish for.
Authors Note: This an erotic horror novella - it contains explicit sex and some violence. It should be heard by mature audiences only.

Johnnie Hamilton has conquered a lot in life. An anxiety disorder, loss of her business, and homelessness have been difficult to overcome. But Johnnie has come through the other side to find success as an artist. Now, however, she's lost her creative drive and she's struggling to produce. Elaine Taylor is a “creative practitioner”, known to awaken her clients' creative side by using many different approaches, including a sensual or sexual approach. Most of her clients are male and she likes it that way. Women are the last thing she wants in her life, having lost the most important woman she's ever known, her wife.

You might think you want to be a member - but trust me, this is one club you don't want to join. It's not a place where people go to live out their deepest, darkest sexual desires - there are no handcuffs or blindfolds. The 27 Club only admits those who die young and tragically. Having just lost my brother to the club, there is no doubt: I'm next. This is my destiny... and I was ready to yield.

In Diana Kingston's defense, it was the middle of the night in the deserted hospital chapel. Surely it was just a dream. She hadn't really sold herself to a brooding stranger to save her father's life, right? Then she wakes, and her father is fully recovered, and a mysterious letter arrives from the tall, dark, handsome - um, devil? Yep, it was right there on the contract, Lucien Star, aka Lucifer Morningstar, that had been his name in the dream.... Gulp. What would the devil himself want with her? Sex. Three months of it, every Friday night.

Still grieving over the sudden death of his lover, antiques dealer Flynn Ambrose moves to the old, ramshackle house on Pitch Pine Lane to catalog and sell the large inventory of arcane and oddball items that once filled his late uncle's mysterious museum. But not all the items are that easy to catalog. Or get rid of... Since Alan died, Flynn isn't eating, isn't sleeping, and isn't spending a lot of time looking in mirrors. But maybe he should pay a little more attention - because something in that 18th Century mirror is looking at him.

The Presence, exactly what it's lacking
In this story focusing on Mara, a divorced artist from NY, who moves into a room in the renovated house of Jonathan Weber, there was too much inner dialogue, and the dialogue between the main characters was too often mundane. She knowingly agrees to move into a room that locals say includes a male ghost that no one has ever seen. She doesn't believe in ghost and is not worried, so her response to the ghost didn't make sense. I won't say more as to not give too much away. And this was the most non-erotica erotica I've ever heard, and I have well over a 1200 Audible books, plenty of which are from the erotica section. And the narrator didn't help. The narrator lacked the capacity to do little more than read the words resulting in a mundane listening experience. She tried, but it was pretty humdrum. A better story may be able to hold up under this narrator's unexciting tone. I don't know. The story had about 2 sex scenes and a few boring sex thoughts. The sex scenes were brief with non-detailed boring sex, no titillation, pristine, and non-sexy language. The closest this story got to erotica was a statement like "with mouth, tongue and hand he explored me." But then there was no info on the actual exploring. The listener has to assume and make it all up in our head. And there was a sentence talking about a "penis" and her "vagina" "joining" and "shattering."
Save your money unless you quest for non-erotica, erotica without romance or sensuality as well.
