Nana

De: Brandon Massey

Narrado por: Leon Nixon

Monica Stephens never knew her birth mother. Raised by a strict but loving adoptive parent, she blossomed into a woman with a thriving career as a pediatrician and a family of her own. But sometimes, she wondered about her origins. Especially her biological mother.

Until Grace arrives.

Confessing to be the birth mother Monica had long wanted to meet, Grace quickly becomes an indispensable member of the Stephens household. Cooking their meals. Looking after the children. Comforting Monica when the family dog is inexplicably killed. Tending to Monica as she falls ill to a mysterious sickness that, every day, makes Monica look and feel older.

Meanwhile, Grace is looking better. More vibrant. More youthful. More seductive....

Monica's husband, Troy, knows something is up. He launches an investigation into the woman who demands to be called "Nana" and has taken over his home.

But the truth is beyond their wildest imaginings.

It seems Grace has done this before....

Very enjoyable!

Interesting storyline with creepy twists and turns.
The pace was good, not too slow, and too much detail but enough.
Did turn the speed up because of narration

I’m a FAN

Awesome read. Great suspense and storytelling! This was my first read of this author and I’m going through his catalogue for more! Great story!!!’

Good Read!

Glad I found this author this is the second novel I've read and was not disappointed!

Good Enough to Finish

Fast paced and kept my attention enough to finish it. I felt the villain’s origin story could have been built out more but enjoyable enough because of the pace.

Very intriguing from the start.

I rate the book a 5 star as the intrigue gripped me immediately and kept me engaged. The book plot is fresh. There is some sexual scenes that may not appeal to sensitive listeners/readers but they are few, quick, and integral to the plot. The narrator was excellent as well.

Maddening but great!

I’ve heard this storyline frequently lately but not with this plot. Must have been good tho because I listened to the entire thing while cleaning between yesterday and today! I’ll be checking out more by this author! The narrator was good but think someone with a little more vocal strength could have performed the antagonist of the story.

Oh my

What a story!!! interesting intriguing , so bold and scary at the same time. I felt all the emotions I think I even smelt and tasted the meals too lol

great book

loved it from beginning to end, this is a great free book would recommend it to everyone

It is a slow creeping ooz until the very end

This book was very atmospheric and sensory engaging. From start to finish you could feel the situation going on in the story. You could smell the rosemary, taste the German chocolate cake, you could feel the sting of the barb. While this story was not a mystery, we knew the villain from the start, Massey smoothly and with precise direction guided listeners thought the experience the characters were going through. Each character had their own point of view and you quite literally totally understood and sympathize with their emotions, desires and concerns. My only negative view is that I did not LOVE the ending. I needed a more satisfying closure that the author provided. I will leave it at that.

Narrator, Leon Nixon was excellent! He drove the story well.

The narrator did a great job.

I listened to this novel on Audible, and I have to say—it had one of the best narrators I’ve ever come across.

Thriller and paranormal aren’t usually my go-to genres, but I’m so glad I gave this one a chance. I really enjoyed it. There were moments I had to pause because the suspense had me nervous about what might happen next. Monica’s naïveté definitely got on my nerves at times, while Pat being a target kept me on edge.

The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five was the ending—it felt like it could’ve been stronger.

That said, I don’t agree with those asking for a backstory. Sometimes it’s better to leave things to the imagination and keep readers guessing.

This was my first book by this author, and it definitely won’t be my last
