Great mystery with a paranormal twist

This was a fun and exciting mystery with a paranormal twist. Annie is on vacation with her aunt. She thinks it's going to be a fun two week vacation full of sun and maybe even a little crush on the family member of a friend of her aunt's. Then it becomes a fun ghost mystery. But soon lives are in danger and she better solve the mystery soon. This mystery had action and adventure and moments where I couldn't guess what was going to happen next. I loved every minute of it. I am excited this seems to be a series. I can't wait to dive into more Annie Tillery Mysteries! This narrator was the perfect voice for Annie too!

Nice YA story

I really enjoyed this book especially the ending. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Nice ghost/mystery story

This was a nice combination of a ghost and mystery story. It was an example of the "good vs evil" reality of life. The characters were good. I didn't care as much for the narrator changing her voice to represent the different characters. I prefer multiple narrators or the one just using the same voice. I found the character Annie a bit annoying and petulant. All in all in was a decent story.

Mystery

This was a young adult ghost mystery that involved bad guys, bomb, fire and kidnapping. There is a first love romance too boot. The narrator did a good job to keep my interest in this book.

very good

Loved it !! this story. the narrator is so fantastic it's like your really there!! good overall

Mystery teenage holiday

l felt like l was on the ride with this Aunty and her niece. The mystery, clues and friendships were well detailed and nicely narrated. Recommended.

Narrator makes or breaks a good book'

Unfortunately I listened to this book longer then I should have. The narrator's voice took away from
the story. Total disappointment!
