About this listen

Fall in love with a brand-new set of books from the author of the best-selling Psychic Surveys and This Haunted World series.

There is a doll. There is a legend...

When museum curator Annie Hawkins walks into a diner in Idaho Falls, seeking the help of 22-year-old Shady Groves with an old broken doll named Mandy, life takes a dramatic turn for both of them. Psychometry is the ability to sense or read the history of an object just by touching it, and Annie has heard Shady has this psychic ability.

Mandy may look harmless, but Annie believes she’s possessed and, after handling her, Shady can only agree. She feels tainted by the doll that now invades her thoughts and dreams, terrifying her. There’s only one solution: to understand the doll, her history, what has possessed her, and why. Knowledge is power, Annie tells Shady. It’s protection.

The pair set off on a road trip - along with Shady’s old high school friend Ray - one that will take them from Idaho into the depths of Canada, desperate to trace Mandy’s past, to find out something, anything, about the demonic doll that accompanies them in the trunk of the car.

The truth, when it comes, is far deadlier than any of them could have realized.

Didn’t enjoy this one

I’ve loved all of Shani Struthers books so far, but I honestly found this one quite boring. I’m really struggling with the narrator - her pronunciation of words are very frustrating. I’m not sure whether the little girl is called Harriet but it’s being pronounced as Hurret. Please get a new narrator as this one is totally ruining the experience of your audio books for me :/

good story but

I have to Admit I love Shani and her books but I struggled with the narrator, I'm sure she's a lovely person but after a while the voices are a little grating

fantastic

What a journey this book takes you on keeping your attention throughout also making you hold your breath at times the three characters complimenting each other in various degrees of belief and strength. The narrator read the book brilliantly capturing each individuals reactions to what unfolded and what they discovered bringing them to life for the listener.

Loved the story but!

As always Shani doesnt disappoint with her latest story, Mandy! I loved it and love her style of writing, but, I didn't like the narrator. It came across as very immature and geared towards a YA audience, almost like it was a 14 year old girl telling the story. But I persevered as I knew I would love the story .

Mandy.

Not bad for the author trying a American tale. I prefer psychic survey books. Thankfully.

Fantastic Story

a fantastic book narrated brilliantly by Penny, does take a chapter to 2 to get used to her voice but after that you cannot turn off. The suspense and need to know more is held right the way throughout the book. Cannot recommend highly enough

Excellent

This was spooky & creepy. The stories from this author just get better as she writes them.
Mandy is a doll, but not just any doll. The story takes you on a journey into what is happening around her and the effects on others.
Excellent narrator as well.

Enthralling!

This story had me hooked from the beginning and I liked the narrator. The characters are all well written and it's a great story with twists and turns that I didn't see coming.
It gave me a great reason to want to drive to work so I could find out what happened next.
Gutted I've just finished it but now off to find another book from Shani that take it's place on my daily car journeys. Highly recommend!

oh dear the narration!

I have read most of Shani Struthers, but they always seem to have awful narrators that that kind of spoil it for me. This one was sickly annoying and whined on. This story had a lot of pointless fillers in it too. so disappointing. Please get better narrators the these books, I'm afraid I've been put off getting anymore. The Psychic Surveys books are just bearable with that narrator but this one... sorry.
