The Ghosts of Ravencrest

The Ravencrest Saga, Book 1

By: Tamara Thorne, Alistair Cross

Narrated by: Jamie Lynn

Darkness never dies....

Ravencrest Manor has always been part of the family. The ancestral home of the Mannings, Ravencrest’s walls have been witness to generations of unimaginable scandal, horror, and depravity. Imported stone by stone from England to Northern California in the early 1800s, the manor now houses widower Eric Manning, his children, and his staff. Ravencrest stands alone, holding its memories and ghosts close to its dark heart, casting long, black shadows across its grand lawns, through the surrounding forests, and over the picturesque town of Devilswood, below.

Dare to cross the threshold....

Ravencrest Manor is the most beautiful thing new governess Belinda Moorland has ever seen, but as she learns more about its tangled past of romance and terror, she realizes that beauty has a dark side. Ravencrest is built on secrets, and its inhabitants seem to be keeping plenty of their own - from the handsome English butler Grant Phister, to the power-mad administrator Mrs. Heller, to Eric Manning himself, who watches her with dark, fathomless eyes. But Belinda soon realizes that the living who dwell in Ravencrest have nothing on the other inhabitants - the ones who walk the darkened halls by night...the ones who enter her dreams...the ones who are watching...and waiting....

Welcome to Ravencrest....

Who is the man digging in the garden beyond Belinda’s bedroom window? Who - or what - is watching her from the vents? From ghostly screams and the clutching bony fingers of death in the indoor pool, to the trio of gliding nuns in the east wing who come at Belinda with black blazing eyes, to the beckoning little girl in the red dress who died more than two centuries ago, Belinda is thrust into a world of waking nightmares where there is no distinction between the living and the dead, and there are no limits to the horrors that await.

It captures the readers attention!

Such a good book. I love any story that spans generations and this one did not disappoint. Lovers still together even after death, such a ride through time!
I can't wait for the next installment!
The narrator did a decent job. I felt that she brought Belinda to life very well.

I wonder what's in store for the Manning family in book 2??

Mystery, Horror, Romance Novel Book 1

This is a good story with a ongoing Mystery with parts that show Horror, but Romance as well. Interesting combination that makes listening to this Audible book I purchased well worth the $$s. Narrator does a OK job, a different Narrator would be better for this Series in my opinion. Looking forward to Book #2 of this Series.

The Ghosts of Ravencrest review

Having read the kindle version of this a couple of years ago, I was interested in how the audiobook would be. It wasn't a mistake in doing so, it had great narration added to an already fantastic book. Now look forward to part two.

Wonderful Listen

This was an amazing experience. I listened to this book and enjoyed every moment. I had me from the start. I am about to start listening to the book in this series. I can't wait. This story took me right in and kept my attention the entire time. I recommend this as a good read people should start.
