About this listen
2018 PRG Reviewers' Choice Award First Place Winner for Best Book
2018 PRG Reviewers' Choice Award Second Place Winner for Best Book Series
A fresh start. That's what Becca hoped the move from New York to Redemption, Wisconsin would be for her troubled family. A way to get her crumbling marriage back on track, and to bond with her difficult 16-year-old stepdaughter.
But instead of a new beginning, Becca is thrust into a mysterious past she barely remembers. A past that includes the complications of interacting with her old teenage crush, Daniel, as well as living in her aunt's old house.
A house with a violent past. A house the locals swear is haunted.
But there's no such thing as ghosts. Right?
So, could there be something even more sinister out to destroy them?
And can Becca discover the truth before it’s too late?
Includes a special note from the author, plus "The Secret Diary of Helen Blackstone", a bonus story in the Secrets of Redemption series.

Liked the story but did not like the main character
A good story and good narration.
I don’t believe in ghosts so some of the story I find far fetched. For those who believe you will like this book. I find the main character weak and whiny. I liked the concept of the story just wished I believed in the spirit world. However, the narration was good and I’m glad I listened to it.
Thanks for including in Plus Category.

wishy washy main character
despite January LaVoy's amazing vocal talent, was a hard book to get through. msin character's constant whiney, 2nd guessing internal dialog was beyond annoying. ruined the potential of a good story.

January Lavoy saved this book
I listened to this all in a day when I was doing a lot of chores. Out of pure irritation of the main character’s incessant self doubt and obtuse confusion, I sped through parts often. Becca is quite frankly an idiot and an alcoholic, and the twist to this story is unoriginal. The only reason I’m not mad about reading this is the amazing as always narrator and the free credit.

Ugh the main character!
The main character drove me crazy, she was so weak. I skipped to the end to find out if she finally left the husband. Love January though.

Entertaining. Gripping story. Superb narration.
Got this first book of the Secrets of Redemption free, and have now purchased book 2. The story is quite good, but as an audiobook with the excellent narration it is truly gripping. I listen to audiobooks while I walk and I can tell you I've gotten more exercise in the last week or two listening to this. Really captivating to listen to. It's suspenseful and fun.

Good but not excellent
I found the story entertaining and overall enjoyed it. However, there were a lot of cliches and the story felt rushed in some places. Performance was excellent though!

Sad, repetitive whine-fest
A helpless, whiny main character with a manipulative gas-lighting husband. Headaches, ghosts, more headaches.
