About this listen

Sometimes, the ties that bind can break you.

It's 1975, and nine-year-old Talia is not happy. Everything has been different since her little sister Alex came along. Since her dad left. Since all her mother's attention has been focused on anyone and everything but Talia.

It's definitely all Alex's fault. Talia hates Alex. She just wants things to be like they used to be. When her dad was home. When everyone cared about her. When there was no Alex.

Then she's given a book. One that's special. One that seems only for her. One that can help her take all her anger and frustration and rage and … unleash it.

Now, Talia will make them all pay.

But everything comes with a price. And some things must be paid in blood.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Talia is nine years old, from a broken home after her father left and jealous of her one year old sister Alex who steals most of their mum's attention and also annoys Talia. Talia also blames Alex for their father's departure since it happened so soon after Alex's birth.

It's normal for an older sibling to feel jealous and slightly neglected right? However, Talia's envy is about to go beyond your average when she finds a book in her room that she's sure she didn't have before. A book which somehow talks to her, gives her ideas and has powers. When Talia finds and connects to this book, her life and the lives of those closest to her are about to change drastically.

I thought this was a very original idea with twists that I wasn't expecting. Full of suspense, Talia turns out to be a very sinister character. There are also more stories in the series that I look forward to hearing some time. I would definitely recommend this. I was given a promo code to listen and review.
