About this listen

How do you kill something that is already dead?

Looking for a temporary place to stay before their final move, Robbie and Diana are tired of moving their little family of five around, so when Robbie finally secures a job, they aren’t fussed about the temporary living arrangements in the old "Metz" house. Aware of the gruesome murders that took place in the home, Diana starts to regret their decision when strange things begin to happen, and their children seem affected by their choices. Her baby sees someone who isn’t there, her eldest twin is always angry, and her middle child is withdrawn.

And no one can explain the strange things that happen around the house.

When a copycat killer starts to hunt people around the neighborhood, Diana’s nerves are finished, and Sylvana is called upon to save her tenants before it is too late. The only question left is whether or not she will make it in time with the answers they need.

Thank you to the author and StoryOrigin for providing a free review copy of this audiobook for which I am writing an honest and unbiased review. 3.5 stars rounded up to 4

The third book in the series continues the overarching story but shifts direction, focusing on a new family moving into the house where the previous murders occurred. Despite the title, Sylvana herself only appears briefly, which felt a little disappointing given the expectation set by the name. The new family’s experiences bring a steady stream of early spooky moments, and the novella fits comfortably within the YA‑leaning horror space—quick, accessible, and atmospheric enough for readers who enjoy shorter, lighter scares.

The narration remains generally okay. Either the performance has improved slightly, or I’ve simply adjusted to the narrator’s straightforward style after listening to three books in a row.

Loved the narration of Jacq Ainsworth

This is the finale in the Butcher series and sweet Lord did it have me on my toes, looking over my shoulder and not listening in the dark. Brilliant.

This book had me hooked from the start. It is a creepy read, but so good. Love the writing and this story.
Sian really can and will take you out of your comfort zone. She just has a way with her words that have you hooked from the start, wondering where the story is going to go.

Great ending

Such a good finale to the series. Nice little twist with the family dynamics and who the evil one turns out to be. The good versus evil battle is brought to a very clean end with all loose ends tied up. This author has such a good way of world building and getting you to care for the characters. I’m definitely going to check out her back catalogue
