The past isn't always dead and buried.

A house with history. That's how the estate agent described the old toll house on the edge of the town. For Kelda it's the perfect rural home for her young son Dylan after a difficult few years.

But when Kelda finds a death mask concealed behind one of the walls, everything changes. Inexplicable things happen in the house, Kelda cannot shake the feeling of being watched and Dylan is plagued by nightmares, convinced he can see figures in his room. As Dylan's behaviour becomes increasingly challenging, Kelda seeks answers in the house's mysterious past. But she's running out of time.

Because something has awoken.

And now it won't rest . . .

I loved this book. After a dubious start, unsure about the main narrator I soon got used to her voice. I found to me she spoke dramatically even during the general story, however I soon got used to her and thoroughly enjoyed it. The male narrator was great too, both speaking very clearly and no noisy swallowing which can somehow be heard listening to books. The whole story was very well thought out, what an imagination the author has! I really didn’t want it to end so am looking forward to her future books! Thank you for an excellent read.

Brilliant story, can’t wait for more!

the female narrator is ruining it - her speech is stilted and jerky, no flow in her speech - awful 😣- male narrator is excellent though

Story is really good however

Few twists and turns that keep it interesting all the way to the end. I liked how it went back and forth in time to the two different periods at the house.

Solid ghost story

Really enjoyed this audiobook. I thought it might be a bit confusing when going between different periods, but it wasn’t. Might check out more from this author.

Very good.

I found this book dragged a bit at the start, however, the narration was beautiful and the second half of the book is pure gothic.

If you don't mind waiting, it's worth it!

Great Gothic
