It’s not just a book about some seeing the dead. It is a story of a life stolen, children mourning the loss of childhood and a spiteful sick grandmother. This is a book that lingers in my mind and I can't wait for the next one. It’s a stand alone story… I believe all 8 books are standalones…so no cliffhangers. But it hints that there are other stories to be told from this northern Michigan asylum. ( ) Visions: gift or curse? I enjoyed this, after an initial struggle at the beginning, when I was confused as to what was happening and how everyone fitted into the time frame. Once I had that sorted out it became a rather sad story about someone incarcerated in a mental asylum for no reason other than to get rid of them. Frighteningly believable. The title refers to the ability that Sophia and her daughter, Hattie, have, to see and receive messages from the dead. This leads them into all sorts of suspicion and trouble, but also saves them eventually. I'm not particularly a believer in the paranormal, but I am prepared to embrace it as a possibility if it is well written. Life in the asylum was awful, with patients being used for experimentation; it was quite traumatic to read in parts. While Sophia is incarcerated, her children believe that she is dead, thanks to the grandmother from hell. So, not a cheerful read and not a very convincing, or satisfying ending. One aspect of the ending made me smile, but quite a few people simply got away with their various crimes. Well narrated by Allyson Voller. 3.5 stars betrayal, ghosts, family-dynamics, murder, paranormal, evil, suspense A tale of individuals in a family line who seem to be punished for their gifts of contact with the dead. Each generation suffers in related ways, but the common denominator is the asylum. The tale of each is woven into a fabric of lies and cruelty. Don't try to make sense of it while driving the freeway if you have the audio. It is related as narrative by Allyson Voller who is a good voice actor, but it would have been easier to follow if there had been a different narrator for the three major times. I won this audiobook in a giveaway! Zeige 4 von 4 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

"On a sunny August morning, in 1935, thirteen-year-old Sophia Gray finds her friend, Rosemary wandering in the woods. Rosemary's yellow dress is tattered and stained, she walks with a strange lurch, and her eyes are vacant and glassy. She beckons to Sophia, desperate to show her something, and Sophia follows. In an abandoned cabin, beneath a tattered blanket, Sophia discovers Rosemary's body. It was not Rosemary who led her there, but Rosemary's ghost. Step into the Northern Michigan Asylum for the Insane Twenty years after Sophia discovers Rosemary's body, she finds herself trapped in the sprawling, and eerily beautiful, Northern Michigan Asylum for the Insane, in the hands of a malevolent doctor who preys on patients who exhibit paranormal abilities. Sometimes the dead don't rest In present day 1965, Hattie, much like her mother, thirty years before, is led by a ghost. A newspaper hidden in an attic reveals a secret that has shaped the lives of Hattie and her siblings. Hattie with her sister, Jude, embark on a crusade to remedy the wrongs of the past and discover the tale of deception that stole their mother a decade before. Hattie and Jude are in a race against time to discover a murderer and save their mother from a horrific fate. Get lost in a uniquely chilling story that spans the life of a family and the ghosts who haunt them."--Back cover. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
