Narrator Brittany Pressley returns the listener to Maine and Poole Manor, the house Sonya has inherited--complete with ghosts and a curse. A witch, Hester Dobbs, has cursed the family and over the years has killed seven Poole brides. Sonya; her boyfriend, Trey; her best friend, Cleo; and her cousin, Owen, are determined to break the curse and rid the manor of Dobbs. Cleo is from the South, and Pressley provides just the right touch of Cajun intonation, which contrasts pleasantly with Sonya's Northern accent. Pressley builds the tension as Dobbs attempts to scare Sonya and the others away from the house. Pressley's performance reflects the bond that forms among the characters as they battle the malevolent witch.

A dynamic performance of this series follow-up.
Narrator Fred Berman returns listeners to the world of Infernal Affairs in Savannah, Georgia, in this sequel to Hell To Pay (2026). Luke Tievel, the son of the devil and a hellhound, investigates crimes of a paranormal nature with his human partner, Sorcha O’Malley. Luke’s current case is the decapitation of two werewolves. Berman conveys Luke’s frustration as he tries to solve the murders as well as the mystery of why creatures are after Sorcha. When Luke was banished from hell, several demons followed him, and Berman gives each of them a unique voice, infusing his narration with a touch of humor. Berman’s tone vibrates with power when Luke confronts his enemies.

Review Posted Online: today
A gothic audiobook that deftly tugs listeners through myriad dark and romantic emotions.
A talented ensemble delivers this polyamorous horror audiobook set in 1850s London. After Agnes is hanged for witchcraft, Irene, voiced by Charlie Albers, uses forbidden necromancy to bring her lover back to life. But when Agnes, voiced by Ella Lynch, wakes, so does a new hunger for raw flesh. James Meunier portrays St. John, Irene’s undead husband and protector of generations of necromantic grimoires. In a story full of introspection, flashbacks, and the horrors of necromancy, each narrator sinks into their character’s raw emotions and conveys them with an intensity that will wrench listeners’ hearts.
