I'm only a fan of ghost stories when Simone St. James tells them. This dual narrator audio was extremely well done!

I would totally read a spin-off series where Carly solves missing persons cases. Overall loved the writing and the story. There were so many good moments, and I was on the edge of my seat reading this book. Will be reading more of Simone St. James’s novels.
