About this listen

I never wanted to move to Narrowdale. And doing so at the beginning of my freshman year of high school? Ugh, this is going to be the worst year ever.

But it turns out that getting used to a new school is the least of my problems. There's creepy whistling outside my window every night. I'm having the same spine-chilling nightmares over and over again. Sleep deprived, I begin to listen to vague and cryptic warnings of a scary homeless guy. Is something haunting me?

There's something wrong in this town. Dark secrets are hiding beneath the surface, waiting for me to uncover them, and I'm afraid . . .

Whatever it’s meant to be, it’s dreadful! I’m so glad it was free. It reads like a 12-year-old has tried to write a horror novel. Just list everything you think would be in a 12-year-old’s horror story: thunder and lightening, screams, being chased at night, nightmares about someone else’s experience, a body-less whistling, no one believing you, a strange figure at an upstairs window. Yawn.
The narrator struggles to make different voices so they have a similar screech in all of them. She also pronounces Ts at the end of more words than is usual, so all the characters do. Yawn.
Glad it was free. It only got two stars from me because the narrator managed a fairly real girl with attitude voice, though the girl’s friend from her old school sounded ridiculous. I think I was a bit generous with three stars for the narrator, but hey. I’m sure I read a good book by this author recently, so I’m a bit confused! Maybe this is meant to be a young adult book (odd name for young teens, but that seems to be what publishers like to call them these days) but I couldn’t find a mention of that in the blurb. Ah well, it was free, but I can’t recommend it, even to a young adult. So sorry if the author or narrator reads this, but the review is for potential readers, and I couldn’t ignore them in case this starts to be sold.

Is this a ‘Young Adult’ book?
