Fallen

A Novel

By: Mia Sheridan

Narrated by: Alexander Cendese, Maya Bowman

Scarlett Lattimore arrives at Lilith House, an abandoned mansion built in 1876, that later housed a reform school for troubled girls, to start a new life with her seven-year-old daughter.

But between the nearby town with the strange, disconcerting feel, the deputy sheriff who is equal parts intriguing and suspicious, and the discovery that their new home holds a dark and violent past, Scarlett soon begins to question her rash decision.

She is shaken and afraid by the screams that echo in the walls and the drumbeat that arises from the surrounding woods where the ghost of an indigenous man is said to roam, seeking vengeance. Her fear is also personal, because Scarlett knew one of the girls who attended the school, a friend who escaped into those woods and was never seen again. They all thought she was a rebellious runaway who later encountered foul play, but perhaps the truth is far more sinister.

As Scarlett’s extraordinary daughter Haddie becomes consumed by the eerie figure who weaves and beckons through the forest fog, and a legacy of secrets reveal themselves, it becomes clear both Scarlett and Haddie are in grave danger. When the past intersects with the present, they will come face to face with the true evil of Lilith House. An evil that has lasted for more than a century.

Great book but…

This book was awesome. I’m a huge fan of Mia Sheridan’s. I have nearly every book of hers’s on audible. I read Fallen first and was excited for audio version. Unfortunately, I was so disappointed in the female narrator that I was more distracted by her unemotional presentation than actually enjoying the story.
I would suggest reading it rather than listening to it.

I keep loosing it.

I would listen for a few chapter. then when I came back to it . trying to pick up was hard. Be awake studying every word they you will probably not have to start over and again. Narrator was awesome. after 5 listens I'm still not sure of the ending. other books from author good.

Beautiful Performances!!!

Mia does it again!! I'm loving all the twists & turns in this plot, but Alexander & Maya's performances are what kept me hooked... way to go you two!

A Good Story Poorly Read

The story held my interest but the performance was atrocious. Ms. Bowman mispronounced or mis-emphasized more than a half dozen words. Mr. Cendese made the characters of two strong women, Scarlet and Georgia, sound like pre-teen elves (no offense to pre-teens or elves). Sorry, but their performance almost made me stop listening.

Unexpectedly fabulous!

This is my first time reading (hearing?) this author—and I was exceptionally and pleasantly surprised! GREAT plot and character development; it kept me wanting to listen in one fell swoop. I highly recommend, and I’ll be searching for more books from this author!
