The Harrison family believed Blackwood Manor was a new start for them. A massive estate in a small tight-knit community was seen as the perfect place to settle down and raise their son, Alex. What they didn't know was that at one time, Blackwood Manor had been Blackwood Orphanage, the site of a horrible fire that claimed the lives of dozens of innocent children. As the Harrisons settle into their new home, the dark secrets of Blackwood Manor start to reveal themselves. These halls are haunted by the ghosts of children who never got to live their lives. And they want the Harrison's young son Alex to come be their new playmate...forever. Haunted Thriller & Suspense Mystery Suspense Unexplained Mysteries Fiction Amateur Sleuths Scary Detective

Virtual narration is not appealing, as the AI does not understand how to imbue the emotion the author intends, emphasizes and pauses in awkward places and is distracting from the story.

The story is interesting. It has a nice build up and lovable characters. The lower rating is for the rushed ending, where a plot twist is introduced without proper build-up…it’s actually confusing, There was more time spent on the realtor’s strategies to market the property than there was developing this essential piece. It would have been worth another chapter or two to bridge this gap, especially after the beautifully woven first 11 chapters. Also, it’s a bit repetitive with how the realtor justifies her actions.

It has a nice build up and lovable characters

Please stop with the generated narration.
this story was actually really good, but audible really screwed up the narration.
this would have only benefited from an actual human reading it.
if I could give the narration a negative score, I would have.

Once you get used to the AI voice, the story flows easily enough. Very interesting and fun story with compassionate, realistic characters. The backdrop of the haunted manor makes for a great story.

Spooky and fun
