I can't recall the where, when, or why of how this book made its way into my library, but I'm glad I took a chance on it, despite the CLEARLY labeled genres (right there after the Publisher's Summary) which told me right away it had 'horror' elements. I loved this performance so much and I will be listening to everything she narrates in the future. She has also perfected her breathiness and inflection in her performance. Megan has the perfect timbre and neutral accent - her pitch is low enough to easily be sped up to 3x with no squeaks- so listeners can enjoy her work in all speeds.

Therefore, I listen to a lot of audiobooks and I have to admit, this might be the best audiobook narration I’ve ever listened to. I read close to 100 books a year in all formats. I am an educator, I run the Book Club at our high school, I also run a Booktok and Bookstagram page. I’ll preface this by saying I am an avid reader. This review is going to focus more on the narrator of this audiobook- Megan Trout.

This spooky, sapphic retelling of The Great God Pan is it. She no longer wonders if she wants to leave.but if she can.Īfter Rules for Vanishing, I would trust just about any YA horror KAM writes to be right up my alley. With each twisted revelation, Helen questions what she knows about Harrow, her family, and even herself. Why is the house built like a labyrinth? What is digging the holes that appear in the woods each night? And why does the house itself seem to be making her sick? Helen knows that if she is going to survive the year, she needs to uncover the secrets of Harrow. For as long as she can remember, Harrow has haunted Helen's dreams-and now those dreams have become a waking nightmare. The inheritance comes with one condition: She must stay on the grounds of Harrow for one full year, or she'll be left with nothing. So when her grandfather dies, she's shocked to learn that he has left everything-the house, the grounds, and the money-to her.

Helen Vaughan doesn't know why she and her mother left their ancestral home at Harrowstone Hall, called Harrow, or why they haven't spoken to their extended family since. The Haunting of Hill House meets Knives Out in a bid for an inheritance that will leave Helen Vaughan either rich.or dead.
