De: Claire Fraise

Narrado por: Elizabeth Phillips, Tristan Fraise

She never believed in ghosts. But now they might be her only hope to find her missing brother.

Shiloh Oleson loves her six-year-old brother more than life. So the headstrong teen’s world shatters when he goes missing after tee-ball practice and her abusive father gives up the search.

When Shiloh is approached by a classmate who claims to know where the little boy is, she's ecstatic. That is, until she finds out that there is something seriously weird about how her classmate got this information:

She was told by a ghost.

Armed with her wits and courage, Shiloh teams up with her quirky classmate Francesca who sees dead people, her nerdy boyfriend Miles, and bad boy Jonah to solve the mystery behind her brother’s disappearance. But the closer she gets to the truth, the more disturbing secrets she uncovers about her family, the school… and an undead force on her tail.

Can Shiloh and her friends bring the little boy home before it's too late?

Exceptionally intriguing and enthralling.

I was not expecting to love this story so much. It is not my usual genre. There were so many unexpected twists and turns and intriguing ideas woven into the story. There were big thought provoking questions about life and death that left me pondering what ghosts are… and the teens themselves are so believable. They all become very real, their struggles and fears. It was action filled and I jumped right into its sequel They Whisper as I couldn’t wait to find out what was going to happen next. Claire Fraise is a genius world builder. I could see the story as it played out and felt I was in the scene as a witness. This should be a movie or show. I would love to see it on the big screen. Also a wonderful audio performance.

The narrators seemed knowledgeable and interested in the story they were reading.

First time author (?) writing better than most movie directors. I'm looking forward to her work after 20 years of experience when she's ready to compete.

a good compelling story

it kept me compelled and wanting to know what happens! It well written, well narration and kept me coming back for more

Fast-paced and heavy-hitting

Don't let the young adult category steer you away--this book takes an unflinching look at loss, love, and our greatest natural fears. Shiloh, Francesca, and the Ghost Helpers feel like real kids trying to save a little boy in a world where they feel powerless and so much is still beyond their understanding. The ending is a roundhouse kick to the face and I super pumped to experience the next one.

Wow

This book had me hooked! I’ve never read (or listened to) a book about ghosts before. The storyline was really fun and I think it was pretty unique. I really hope this series is around for a long time. This audio book is definitely worth listening to, a “must” for any paranormal fans imo.

I don’t want to post any spoilers, but when I read/heard what the true danger was to her missing brother…it was so intense at the last half/end, I couldn’t take a break until it was over. But even then…there’s a twist you didn’t see coming.

The narrators are also very good and easy to understand/listen to. I could easily differentiate between characters.
