The Unseen

By: Kat Martin

Narrated by: James McAdams

For fans of Darcy Coates’s paranormal thrills and Jeneva Rose’s romantic suspense, the supernatural and physical worlds collide in this mesmerizing tale of a gruesome murder set against the Southern Gothic backdrop of a historic Louisiana mansion.

It begins when two young boys discover the 100-year-old skeleton of a murdered man buried near the grounds of Belle Reve, a Greek revival style mansion built in the 1870s. As police investigate, strange occurrences and eerie sounds overtake the mansion—footsteps in empty hallways, slamming doors in empty rooms.

Rachel Belmond, owner of Belle Reve, is petrified. Beautiful and still young at 47, Rachel is also in failing health, her deteriorating condition baffling doctors. It’s her niece, Nicole, who begins to suspect that something deadly has invaded the house. And it is Nicole who meets someone who might be able to find answers....

As the incidents grow more intense, Rachel’s niece, Nicole Belmond, begins to suspect that something otherworldly may have invaded the house.

Lucas Devereaux is the owner of the Baton Rouge Youth Center where Nicole’s teenage half-brother is serving a sentence for a juvenile crime. The attraction between Lucas and Nicole is instant. Hearing rumors that Lucas, a former priest, has the ability to deal with supernatural events, Nicole shares her worries about Belle Reve. But Lucas can’t begin until he has more information.

Fearing for Rachel’s fragile health, trying to ignore their growing attraction, Nicole and Lucas work to find the link between the mysterious old bones and the terrifying events in the house that grow more ominous every day. Can Nicole and Lucas protect Rachel and stop the demonic forces that threaten the very existence of Belle Reve? Or is more happening than anyone can imagine?

Combination of a very good story and the voices being able to blend so well.

I really enjoyed the story. It had just enough of romance and supernatural to keep my interest. Can’t I can’t wait to read the next one.

Barely Paranormal

It's okay but it felt really slow to start out and I struggled to finish it. The narration was good, but I just couldn't really get into the story and didn't find myself liking the characters either. I questioned these character's emotions a lot. Also, most of the action took place on weekends which I can logically understand skipping because that was when they had time to get the whole family together, but I just kept thinking did nothing happen Mon.-Fri.? As for the title that's what it felt like to me. Sure, the whole story is based off there being ghosts and there's action going on in the background but very little of it had to do with the paranormal. I won't be listening to it again.
