The Tenth Girl

De: Sara Faring

Narrado por: Frankie Corzo, Mark Sanderlin

A haunted Argentinian mansion.
A family curse.
A twist you'll never see coming.
Welcome to Vaccaro School.

Simmering in Patagonian myth, The Tenth Girl is a gothic psychological thriller with a haunting twist.

At the very southern tip of South America looms an isolated finishing school. Legend has it that the land will curse those who settle there. But for Mavi - a bold Buenos Aires native fleeing the military regime that took her mother - it offers an escape to a new life as a young teacher to Argentina’s elite girls.

Mavi tries to embrace the strangeness of the imposing house - despite warnings not to roam at night, threats from an enigmatic young man, and rumors of mysterious Others. But one of Mavi’s 10 students is missing, and when students and teachers alike begin to behave as if possessed, the forces haunting this unholy cliff will no longer be ignored...and one of these spirits holds a secret that could unravel Mavi’s existence.

Not great, but not too bad…

I couldn’t stay interested so I would have to go back every so often to listen to what I missed. Not my favorite audiobook.

Good until it's not

I enjoyed this book for the most part. Until details fell apart and could not be pieced back together. I believe the author had a really good idea. But some of the details, lacking or didn't make sense ruined the whole idea. I almost didn't finish the book. I did anyway. It felt... slapped together...not enough explanation of details that would have made the outcome make more sense. I do not recommend this book.

Not what you think

Only spoiler I will give …

This isn’t a ghost story which honestly was a let down. But the story was okay.

lousy slow story

narrator was good. too bad they had nothing to work with. most awful story I listened to in a long time.

Unexpected Plot Twist

It very well written, and had an interesting plot twist I was not expecting. I highly recommend it.
