The Stay

A gripping psychological thriller with a shocking twist

She came to heal. What she uncovered might just destroy her instead.

Tessa Rowan checked into Eversage Ridge hoping to heal. What she found was something far more insidious. Behind the tranquil façade of the exclusive wellness retreat were secrets, surveillance, and a carefully curated web of psychological manipulation. As the staff peeled back her layers, Tessa began to question everything—her memories, her sanity, even her own guilt. But the deeper she dug, the more dangerous the truth became. And when she finally uncovered the real reason she was brought to Eversage, Tessa was forced to make an unthinkable choice.

Some guests come to recover.

Tessa came to survive.

Ai narration? Ruined the book.

This could have been a really good listen had it not been for the AI narrator. It’s terrible. Flat and monotone. It does the book a disservice. I’ll be avoiding books with AI narration from now on.
