The Haunting of Beacon Hill

The Beckoning Dead, Book 1

By: Ambrose Ibsen

Narrated by: Melissa Moran

Sadie has a gift. And she'll do anything to keep from using it.

At 16, Sadie Young had a brush with death, and as a result she became more sensitive to the supernatural. Rather than embrace this gift, she spent years running from it, and from the darkness that once preyed upon her.

Now 25 and working as a librarian, Sadie is called upon by a desperate family friend to look into a strange series of events. A teenaged girl has entered a reputedly haunted house in town and has gone mad. Committed, the girl attempts suicide and claims to be terrorized at all hours by a horrific specter known as "Mother Maggot".

Despite having subdued her gift for the past nine years, Sadie wishes to assist the girl and reticently agrees to visit the site of the haunting. But upon entering the house on Beacon Hill, she discovers that Mother Maggot isn't merely a figment of a disturbed teen's imagination....

"Lie-berry"

The overall story was decent, but it was a personal hell getting through it because the main character is a librarian working at a library and the narrator continuously pronounced library as "lie-berry" & librarian as "lie-berrian". I can't belive she got paid for this, it was awful.

The narrator! Oh no.

I can't tell if the story is good or not. I couldn't get past the narration, during a spooky part, I am almost fell asleep. Could not finish. "Mother Maggot" ~ I almost starting laughing.

loved the story

If you can ignore the narrator's inability to pronounce certain words, like librarian, then this is a good read.

narrator, if you pay attention to any reviews, you should offer to redo all your readings and correct libarian to the correct pronunciation libRarian, for free. ugh!

Awesome book

Imagery was amazing I couldn’t stop listening! Listened while at work and at home while cleaning made the time go by so fast.

Library NOT libary... or LIBARIAN

I'm not sure I want to finish the book with the main character being a librarian and the narrator keeps saying LIBARY & LIBARIAN. UGH
