About this audiobook

A masterful, heart-palpitating novel of small-town horror and psychological dread from a Bram Stoker nominee.



Aaron Decker's life changes one December morning when his wife Allison is killed. Haunted by her absence—and her ghost—Aaron goes through her belongings, where he finds a receipt for a motel room in another part of the country. Piloted by grief and an increasing sense of curiosity, Aaron embarks on a journey to discover what Allison had been doing in the weeks prior to her death.



Yet Aaron is unprepared to discover the dark secrets Allison kept, the death and horror that make up the tapestry of her hidden life. And with each dark secret revealed, Aaron becomes more and more consumed by his obsession to learn the terrifying truth about the woman who had been his wife, even if it puts his own life at risk.

    It was great. I loved the ending. My advice is to go into it with no expectations of twists. Just enjoy it. I think I was expecting a major one, thanks to TikTok making me not enjoy it as much as I should. But it is exceptionally well written and amazing story.

    Audiobook. The narrator wasn't bad, but he had some strange phrasing and a speaking style that might have worked against the book. I kept waiting for him to be somehow evil, which I don't think was illustrated in the text, but the way it was read. It also made him unsympathetic to the very end. He wasn't bad, but his choices distracted me from the novel instead of being unobtrusive or enhancing.
    As for the book, it was a little corny, the way they kept finding ways to repeat the "come with me" motif and the dialog was stilted, especially for the female characters. I liked the book best when the plot was being narrated because the dialog was downright offputting. but, again, perhaps that was partially the narrator. Even with that, every character was pretty chiche' which isn't terrible, but, for a novel that I think was supposed to be sympathetic to women came across as making most of them unlikeable, untrustworthy, or kind of stupid. That said, it wasn't a bad experience. Honestly, I think this would be a great screenplay. One of those upscale Lifetime movies, or a stream subscription produced movies with solid C level stars. You know what I mean? From the afterward, this was inspired by a dear friend of the author's, but it lacked that kind of heart, and that's a shame. Would I seek out another book by this author? Probably not, but if I found out this or another of his books was being made into a Netflix or Hulu movie, I'd get some popcorn and wine and plan a night around it.

    I really liked this story. The ending surprised me alot but the authors note at the end about how the tragedy that happens to the main character was inspired by true events really hit home for me. Good listen!

    Just when i thought it has the usual storyline of a thriller, it changes gear and leaves me with the power of a high octane novel. This is indeed hard to forget. The first-person writing absorbs the reader toward the very soul of the protagonist. The descriptive writing is so effective that you can almost physically taste his condition. Truly a winner! Excellent narrator, too.

    So well written from beginning to end. I loved how the narrator told the story, and the mystery along with the supernatural hints mixed with grief. I loved it.

    I would describe this book as a ghost love story. It was okay. I think it was supposed to be scary but it really wasn't. The ending was rather sad but not surprising. Overall a decent read with an interesting and likable main character.

    This book was so well done. The suspense was constant and twists kept coming. Telling the story in the first person and with this particular narrator added such a chill when listening to this audiobook, it couldn't have been more perfect. I highly recommend this Malfi book, I'm a horror reader, this book doesn't have any gore but nor did it need it. Read on fellow horror readers, this book is different and worth your time.
