About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

You let them back in.
You shouldn't have...


Young couple Charlie and Eve can’t believe the killer deal they got on an old house deep in the mountains. One day, a man knocks on the door. He says he lived there years before and asks if he can show his family around.

As soon as they enter, strange things start to happen, and Eve is desperate for them to leave and never come back. But they can’t – or won’t – take the hint that they are no longer welcome.

Then, Charlie vanishes, and Eve begins to lose her grip on reality. She’s convinced there’s something terribly wrong with the house and its past inhabitants . . . or is it all in her head?

The Turn of the Key meets Parasite in this gripping, eerily haunting debut and Reddit hit – soon to be a Netflix original movie starring Blake Lively – that will keep you up into the early hours. Perfect for fans of Stephen King and Leave the World Behind.

this book left me speechless

I rarely want to throw my kindle into a wall (yes I listen while I read), but this book oh my god I NEED more, it has got to have a part two. I have so many questions, it was confusing but in the best way possible? it stretched the right parts of my brain, the narration is wonderful and exciting. I will 100% bully all my book club mates into reading this title because i need to talk about with somebody

Confusing

Still don’t understand what happened and I am left on a cliffhanger. Will there be a second book??? What is going on. The way the audio book was done was very good with the sound effects and voices but not sure what to think about the book overall as there’s no closure

Average

Can absolutely imagine this being turned into a 4/10 Netflix horror film. The narrator does her best with the material and it’s quite a promising setup, but it goes downhill in the second half and ends up feeling a bit confused. It isn’t awful and has the odd moment, but it’s all been done before.

Not what I expected

I enjoyed the story. I especially enjoyed the creepy feeling I had when listening a lot of the time. I feel like, for me, a more linear version of what was happening would have made it that bit more enjoyable. I found it hard to crochet and keep up with the jumping events, but that is most likely a me problem. The voice actor/actors were excellent. Not my usual choice of book but glad I gave it a whirl.

Uh... That ending!!

I literally said "Noooooo!" out loud when I finished this. I could not believe it had ended. It definitely leaves you wanting more.
This story follows Eve who buys a new home with her partner Charlie. One day when Charlie isn't home, Eve is home alone when a family knocks at her door. They claim to have lived there before and asks if she wouldn't mind letting them in so he can show his family around. What a mistake she makes by letting them in! Very creepy atmosphere throughout. I did get a bit confused at one point
