Resumen del Editor

They called themselves "the lucky ones"

They were seven children either orphaned or abandoned by their parents and chosen by legendary philanthropist and brain surgeon Dr. Vincent Capello to live in The Dragon, his almost magical beach house on the Oregon Coast. Allison was the youngest of the lucky ones living an idyllic life with her newfound family...until the night she almost died and was then whisked away from the house and her adopted family forever.

Now, 13 years later, Allison receives a letter from Roland, Dr. Capello's eldest son, warning her that their father is ill and in his final days. Allison knows she must go home again and confront the ghosts of her past. She's determined to find out what really happened that fateful night - was it an accident, or, as she's always suspected, did one of her beloved family members try to kill her?

But digging into the past can reveal horrific truths, and when Allison pieces together the story of her life, she learns the terrible secret at the heart of the family she once loved but never really knew.

great easy "read'

excellent voice. great story. surprise ending. glad this is in my library so I can listen again and again

Not as described

This was only so-so. The description makes you think it’s about a haunting but it’s not. The story line just didn’t flow well for me. The story contains some gratuitous sexual scenes that aren’t necessary and a bit lengthy for my taste. If I want porn I’ll get a book that is meant to be pornographic. I got this on sale so it’s not as bad as wasting a credit for it but I would skip this one if you’re looking for a good ghost story. Or just a good story in general.

Really liked it

This was good. Got to know and love the characters. Twists and turns along the way

Interresting

I enjoyed the narrator and I enjoyed this audible, gave me a little chill ❤ it

Great book!

loved it! loved lisening to it while I ran. love the reader. would recommend this book.

Perfection in audiobook

I loved The Lucky Ones when I read it and I loved it more when I listened to it.
Emily Woo Zeller has a beautiful voice, perfect for this story. Making everything more interesting, more suspensful, more romantic, more everything. She did great with all the inflections, different personalities, and accents.
I loved repeating this story because, as always, I could get more details I didn't get the first time I read it, and I analyzed every detail regarding Allison's mysterious fall and her return to The Dragon.
I loved reliving her romance with Roland.
I loved falling in love again with Roland and Allison and enjoy their almost-forbidden romance.
I loved reading again about Twins, they are great.
And of course, I loved falling in love once again with the universe Tiffany has created around McQueen where he is always a secondary character.
200% recommended.

Shirley Jackson would approve

A dark and moody West Coast Gothic novel that is a good fit for Shirley Jackson fans. Secrets, money, and awkward family relationships fill a tainted house in Oregon. Zeller delivers a terrific performance. #AmericanGothic #FamilySecrets #WestCoast #Tagsgiving #Sweepstakes

Good One

Really interesting story line and entertaining. A little creepy/hokie with the family relationships Enjoyed it.

Riveting

I started it and finished the same day. Couldn’t stop listening. Both interesting and entertaining. Unexpected twists and happy ending

A very enjoyable book

I particularly liked all the twists and turns that the book presented. Although many of the stories really were fiction, I still enjoyed the overall book
