About this listen

The last thing Kaylee wants to do is participate in a childish scavenger hunt - especially inside the abandoned retirement home on the edge of town. When she finds a bruised, deaf boy hiding inside one of the rooms, she vows to lead him to safety - only to discover the front doors are now padlocked, and her friends are nowhere to be found. Kaylee is about to learn that not everything that goes "bump in the night" is imaginary, and sometimes there are worse things to fear than ghosts.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this book as I had never heard of the author before, but I am glad I tried it as it is a really good book. The story follows a girl called Kaylee as she moves to a new town and, in order to fit in and make friends, decides to go on a scavenger hunt with some new friends.

The hunt takes place in an abandoned Old People's Home where the ring leader has got a key. The ring leader runs off leaving the other girls alone. What happens next is a slighty scary story where they uncover secrets that wanted to remain hidden.

It is a very good YA story which had me hooked. The pace of the story changed quite nicely from being a bit slower to being full paced whilst the scenes were being set, but when it kicked up a gear it never really stopped until the end .

Great story

I don't remember having anything like Resthaven to read as a YA. Mind you, that was probably a good job as I'd never had made it to OA as I'd have been frightened to death years before now! This is a really good read/listen. The teenage girls are appropriately revolting, but thankfully Kayleigh steps up when the situation calls for someone to be brave. Randi Larson does a good job with the narration. It must be extraordinarily difficult to provide voices for so many girls of the same age and to ensure they are different enough for the listener to tell who's who and, at the same time, not to allow the voices to be caricatures. There are a number of different strands that, when woven together become a terrifying tale for these girls. They also all have troubled back stories, which helps to comprehend why they react the way they do. This is a fast paced story full of well described action and is a great book to encourage YAs to read for pleasure.

Enjoyable

Very well written and, clearly and pleasantly narrated, I found this book to be both original in storyline and entertaining holding my interest right to the last page!

A good read!

A well-written YA thriller, very atmospheric and creepy. I listened to it on audible and narration was really good.

Here are the reasons that I have given this book 4 stars overall. The girls' characters were well written and realistic and they were all different which was refreshing. The narrator did a good job with the different characters. I liked the setting as it had the potential to be seriously creepy.

The story only got 3 stars because it just didn't live up to the promise that the book's description led me to believe. Just not creepy enough. I know it is a YA title and I'm not a YA so probably not in the target audience for this book but still even YAs need a few scares now and then.

In the hands of a skilful director/producer it would make a good film. Lionsgate films could probably work wonders with it. That said I would read another of his books.

Not as scary as I hoped but would be a great film

I was intrigued by this book after seeing the cover and reading the bio . I have always been fascinated by urbex / urban exploring so the description of the book really appealed to me . I loved the fact that it is fast paced and has a constant flow to it . The character of Kaylee speaks her mind and Is very straight to the point which is an endearing quality but I found it difficult to relate to her and her peers. I was hoping that the book would be a little more scary but on the whole I enjoyed it . I was given a copy of this book by the author/narrator in return for an unbiased review

A fast paced and engaging read

What a way to spend an evening! A mixed bunch of girls, mismatched but put together. They go on a scavenger hunt and things go from bad to worse. I don't know how they would put up with each other as such a different outlook & behaviours. But that's life & friendships!
Narrator did a good job. All girls were voiced differently, not easy! So was easy to know who was talking no matter where in the story.
Really enjoyed it.

The excellent narration by Randi Larson really brought the characters to life.
The story itself feels to me more aimed at teenage girls than even young adults, and I’m well and truly beyond both categories, but it was a pleasant, fast-paced, atmospheric listening experience and something completely different for me.
Personally I think it could have been dialled up in the creepiness stakes a little more, the description and the very attractive cover somehow gave me the impression of something a little more scary, but I enjoyed it anyhow and I think young readers will like this a lot.

Atmospheric and enjoyable
