The End of Temperance Dare

A Novel

By: Wendy Webb

Narrated by: Xe Sands

Haunting and atmospheric, The End of Temperance Dare is another thrilling audiobook from the author reviewers are calling the Queen of the Northern Gothic.

When Eleanor Harper becomes the director of a renowned artists' retreat, she knows nothing of Cliffside Manor's dark past as a tuberculosis sanatorium, a "waiting room for death". After years of covering murder and violence as a crime reporter, Eleanor hopes that being around artists and writers in this new job will be a peaceful retreat for her as much as for them.

But from her first fog-filled moments on the manor's grounds, Eleanor is seized by a sense of impending doom and realizes there's more to the institution than its reputation of being a haven for creativity. After the arrival of the new fellows - including the intriguing, handsome photographer Richard Banks - she begins to suspect that her predecessor chose the group with a dangerous purpose in mind. As the chilling mysteries of Cliffside Manor unravel and the eerie sins of the past are exposed, Eleanor must fight to save the fellows - and herself - from sinister forces.

Not Wendy Webbs best??

But not the Worst, Takes a long while to get started. Pretty Creepy Story!! Will still read more from this author

Another good one!

I have enjoyed all of Wendy Webb’s books and this is no exception. It was hard to put down and although it may be a bit of a stretch at the end, it was satisfying none the less!

Good Ghost Story

Ms. Wendy Webb writes a good ghost story. Keeps you interested from start to finish.

The End of Temperance Dare

I love a good ghost story and this was good, a little slow at start but great ending.

Wow

I loved it. I enjoyed the mystery mixed with a great scary story! Read it!

Not her best

I love all of Wendy’s books, but I don’t think this one is up to some of the others. The idea of the story is great – of course it’s unbelievable but that’s what ghost stories are. This just took a lot of time to get into the story and it was very juvenile. It didn’t hook me the way it all her other books have. Just an OK listen

Great Wendy Webb book

Always creative, Wendy Webb has done it again. This book had an evil glint to it that I enjoyed.

Without spoilers … how do I say this?

Just want to give props to Xe Sands who had to do some SERIOUS voice acting here. Like, Inception levels of voice work. This setting is super fun and spooky, and it’s more of an ensemble cast than I’ve seen in Webb’s books. It also has one of my favorite tropes but I won’t say what it is because it’s a spoiler. A fun read. Lots of hand-waving, plot-wise, but as long as you don’t take it too seriously, you’ll have a fun time.

Just My Kind of Book/Listen

Loved this book, so well written and kept you in suspense along the way. XE Sands was perfect as always. An excellent combination of writer and narrator. I highly recommend.

great book

As always Wendy Webb did not disappoint. Great story, amazing twist, seriously mesmerizing. I couldn't stop listening!
