About this listen

Get Out meets Parasite in this eerily haunting debut and Reddit hit—soon to be a Netflix original movie starring Blake Lively—about two homeowners whose lives are turned upside down when the house’s previous residents unexpectedly visit.

As a young, queer couple who flip houses, Charlie and Eve can’t believe the killer deal they’ve just gotten on an old house in a picturesque neighborhood. As they’re working in the house one day, there’s a knock on the door. A man stands there with his family, claiming to have lived there years before and asking if it would be alright if he showed his kids around. People pleaser to a fault, Eve lets them in.

As soon as the strangers enter their home, uncanny and inexplicable things start happening, including the family’s youngest child going missing and a ghostly presence materializing in the basement. Even more weird, the family can’t seem to take the hint that their visit should be over. And when Charlie suddenly vanishes, Eve slowly loses her grip on reality. Something is terribly wrong with the house and with the visiting family—or is Eve just imagining things?

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

ok

This title was recommend from someone who said they had trouble sleeping, it was so scary… and disturbing. I guess I went in expecting more. It was alright, not scary or disturbing in my opinion. I’d recommend it if you need to exhaust a credit. There also was never a clear answer as to what it was or what was going on/why things were happening.

WTF

This book was confusing as hell. Not even sure what I just listened to, tbh. Also, the audiobook was incredible annoying keeping in the Morse code beeps. Thank you for giving me heart palpitations at the end of every chapter!!!! I wish someone could’ve given me the cliff notes of this because i genuinely don’t know what this book was.

Couldn’t stop listening

Deeply unsettling. Once I started listening, I couldn’t stop. Recommended to anyone who is into horror.

Fun!

The structure, style, and story was fresh. And interesting listen start to finish! Some questions left unanswered but I think that is the point.

Kind of Boring, Kind of Exciting

This book really ebbed and flowed. There were so many boring parts where the story just dragged with moot details and backstory. Then, there were some parts that were actually exciting and interesting. Because of the mundane parts though, I kept finding myself wanting the book to end already, so I could move on. The voice actor’s pacing kept throwing me off, too. The way she inflected her voice sometimes annoyed me because it was like she was following a rhythm or pattern that became so predictable and obvious that it was like listening to the same song on repeat for hours on end.

This was legit scary

I love listening to horror books as audiobooks because a good performance ups the creepy factor. This one certainly had me sleeping with the lights on! I know a lot of people didn't understand/like the ending, but I personally think the unanswered questions contribute to making the story memorable. It's been days since I finished and I'm still thinking about it...

Kept me guessing and I liked even when..

Kept me guessing and I liked even though I figured out the ending well before the end - very good reader - could NOT listen to this before falling asleep- ha!

First time stepping out of my usual True Crime genre

Overall it was good, not as scary as everyone said it was but that could be because my imagination is limited. The ending did get me by surprised and it kind of left opening for a second book maybe? This book did not really make me want to keep exploring this genre but if there is a second book, I would read it.
