About this listen

I'm in trouble. Come get me.

On a remote island off the coast of Maine lies a secluded estate. There, behind wrought iron gates and rock walls, sits Halcyon Hall. Today, it is an exclusive spa catering to wealthy elites and pampered celebrities. But once, it had another name - and a terrifying reputation....

Rosemary Tulle has come to Halcyon Hall desperate to find her younger sister. Seventeen-year-old Genevieve left a brief, troubling message on Rosemary's phone, begging to be picked up. But Rosemary is not on the visitor list, and no one will let her in....

Halcyon Hall was once Bainesworth Manor, an asylum for the insane. Such places often draw whispers about gruesome treatments and tortured inmates. In the case of Bainesworth, the reality may have been far worse. Now, staff insist that Genevieve ran away, but Rosemary's instincts say otherwise. Rosemary and Genevieve share an unusual bond, and she knows Genevieve wouldn't have just left. Compelled to turn for help to a man she hoped never to see again, Judge Whit Lawrence, she tries to learn the truth about Genevieve. But it will mean uncovering secrets about Bainsworth Manor and about Rosemary's own dark past - secrets with the power to kill....

Great book

I didn't find this one to be all that great. It had so much filling the story could have been told in half the time. I finished and did see a few redeeming qualities but I would only say so-so.

Not that thrilling

The story was good but some of the text was very cliché. The narrator is a bit dramatic. Just not my favorite audible.

Not my favorite.

There were so many factual errors and unbelievable story plots that I couldn’t take this book seriously. I feel like I should get an award for finishing the book.

Just because you CAN write doesn’t mean you SHOULD

This book is absolutely awful! I could have dealt with the crap storyline but not with the hours and hours of constant whining and repeating the same things over and over. It was so bad that I couldn’t finish it.

Worst storyline ever!

I’m not sure which was worse, the dislikable heroine, the caricature villain, or the overwrought narration. I couldn’t stand another minute of either and quit less than two hours in. Thankful it was free, but still not worth it.

Obnoxious
