Litani

De: Jess Lourey

Narrado por: Cassandra Morris

The Amazon Charts bestselling author of Unspeakable Things and Bloodline explores the darkness at the heart of the rural Midwest in a novel inspired by a chilling true crime.

In the summer of ’84, fourteen-year-old Frankie Jubilee is shuttled off to Litani, Minnesota, to live with her estranged mother, a county prosecutor she barely knows. From the start, Frankie senses something uneasy going on in the small town. The locals whisper about The Game, and her mother warns her to stay out of the woods and away from adults.

When a bullying gang of girls invites Frankie to The Game, she accepts, determined to find out what’s really going on in Litani. She’s not the only one becoming paranoid. Hysteria burns through the community. Dark secrets emerge. And Frankie fears that, even in the bright light of day, she might be living among monsters.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Lourey serves up another terrifying reality-based thriller…a tale of horror, grit, and, ultimately, hope.”—Kirkus Reviews

“Litani shows that the real terror is not ghosts, but human monsters.”—St. Paul Pioneer Press

Witch hunt

It was a solid read. Triggers of child abuse/rape. Witch hunt of who done it. Loved the botany references. Good depiction of trauma in young and old alike.

My new Favorite author!

Jess Lourey has done it Again! What a Great book. This story is sadly the Truth of Too Many children’s lives.. I can’t wait to read what J.L. writes next!

This book

Was not good. I don’t understand all the rave reviews other than the fact that our country is obsessed with pedophilia. Also, the narrators breathing has sort of an annoying quiver. Don’t bother.

I absolutely love!!!

I cannot get enough of Jess. I love true crime. Her writing is amazing!!! On to the next book of hers 😍

decent story, slightly predictable

As a Minnesota native I enjoyed listening to the accent and the Minnesota landmarks and things of that nature. It's a great story, the narrator is good sounding very much like a teenage girl. troubling subject matter, couple of twists, ended well

Intense, intelligent and unusual thriller. Loved!

Genuinely creepy small town emotional riptide and great character development. The narration is terrific, and you'll receive a great bunch of very useful botanical information as well.

New Fave Author

To say I've become obsessed with this author and the way they can tell a story is an understatement.

Another Smash from Lourey

The storyline was thrilling! Intrigue, mystery and suspense all rolled into one. The narrator choice was Al's brilliant and spot on! Looking forward to another great book from this author

Once again Jess Lourey has brought to life an entertaining and original story of a young girl’s move to Minnesota and her coming of age in a world of flawed adults. Loved it.
