About this listen

When Sally Blue was six years old, sleeping peacefully in her bed, a gunshot woke her up and subsequently ripped her world apart.

Jolted awake by the scary noise, Sally ran to her parents' bedroom for comfort. Instead she found her mother slumped against the headboard, her ravaged nightdress drenched from a double-barreled wound.

Climbing on the bed, Sally cradled her mother's head against her tiny chest - mindless of the blood and the cloying stench of death. There was no sign of her father, and Sally was too frightened to call out, when a voice from deep within her dead mother's throat screamed: "Run, Sally! Run!"

Twenty-five years later, Sally has finally stopped running. She finds peace among the dead as a mortician's beautician. And on the night of a strange murder that reawakens a special gift within her, she actually meets an interesting man: Jersey Castle, homicide detective by day, punk rock drummer by night.

But what Sally doesn't know is that someone has been hunting for her all this time. And now that she's passed his test of blood, he will stop at nothing to bring her home again.

Loved it.
Despite some bad reviews I thought the narrator was very good. I couldn't stop listening to this. Will be listening to more Grant McKenzie books x

After reading some of the reviews for this title between a couple of platforms I was sceptical and almost didn't read this.

I really enjoyed this novel, start to finished it had me gripped. I kept finding myself picking it up to read more!!
5/5 from me and a "definite" recommendation on reading this novel.

Struggled with this one, I can't decide if it was the storyline or the narrator's over zealous performance, but between the two it just didn't work for me.
Ideal if you like pure cheese in an audiobook, but not for me.

Cheesy

it probably is all make believe but it was brilliant from start to end

best book I've listened to in a long time

The narrator's character voices and accents were terrible and I have absolutely no idea why there were so many chapters-there could have easily been fewer, larger ones. But if you can ignore those things, the story was great.

The story was great but..

I wasn't expecting much from this story but wow. I enjoyed every single chapter and couldn't wait to read until the very last word. The nuns have to be my favourite characters. Strong women always shine through as heroines but these ladies were the best.

Hooked from the start
