About this listen

Perfect for fans of The Last Thing He Told Me and A Flicker in the Dark, The Hushed is a haunting paranormal thriller—infused with a dangerous, forbidden romance—that introduces a brand-new type of undead …

Eerie Ashwood may look like a regular college student—she has a job at a local diner and attends classes at the community college—but she’s not. She’s a Hushed, a living secret made of flesh and blood, spawned by the death of a human who had something to hide. While the Hushed blend in among humans, they are haunted by an overwhelming urge to spill their secret to those whom it would hurt the most. But once a Hushed tells their secret, they drop dead.

Unlike most Hushed, Eerie and her brother, Fabian, can’t remember their secrets. All they know is they’re connected to the infamous Ironbark Prison fire, but everything else is a blur of smoke and fear. Everything changes when Eerie meets Logan Winspeare, the hell-raising son of one of the victims of the fire, who is searching for answers about the night his mother died. Eerie knows she should stay far away from both Logan and the mysteries surrounding that night, but she can’t escape her curiosity—or her growing attraction to Logan.

But the harder Eerie falls for Logan, the closer she comes to her secret—and her death. And as she uncovers more about her past, Eerie discovers her secret is tied into something even bigger—a tangled history that leads back thousands of years to the very first of her kind, and a covert organization of ancient Hushed who pledged vengeance on the human world.

Fantastic book!

This was an absolutely amazing book. The story is compelling and the world building unique. Hushed are embodied secrets that take their first breath when you take your last and have a compulsive need to disclose what they know. The only downside is that when they do, they die. This mechanic touches both on the fear that people have of things being brought to light they’d rather keep hidden and the desire we have to know things that have been kept from us. The plot is twisty and I loved it. The writing is beautiful, the dialogue equal parts witty and heartfelt. My only note is that I wanted it to be twice as long so I could spend more time with the characters. Well worth a read/listen and I can’t wait for the next one! The audio performance was fantastic, as always.

Awesome read!

Not my typical genre but finished it in about 4 days. Kept me looking for a reason to go for a long drive and to take the long way to and from work each day. Looking forward to the second.

Unique story.

I’ve been on a Sarah j Maas kick for a while and decided to switch it up. This book has suspense, love, friendship, hardship and betrayal. Overall an interesting young adult story.
