About this listen
In the woods is a house they say is haunted. Once you enter, you can never leave. In this house, your biggest dreams can become reality, and your worst vices can become dangerous addictions. Would you risk it?
When Savannah Miles comes into a sum of money, she decides to follow her lifelong dream and open her own thrift shop. The sweet-looking house in the woods seems like the perfect place.
Except the house is filled with mystery—and three handsome men who have been stuck inside for decades. Felix, the original owner of the house, trapped for over a century. Luther, the 40-something postman whose search for the meaning of life led him to be stuck in the house since the 70s. And Theo, whose string of bad luck left him in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Different times. Different vices. Different lives. Can the four of them work together in life and love to find a way to survive?

There were also distracting inconsistencies. A supposed 19th-century character spoke like a modern man, one character’s entire personality seemed to be “the alcoholic,” and the older 1970s character had little substance beyond his age gap with the heroine.
The biggest issue, though, was the narration. The narrator sounded like somebody’s very well spoken grandad, very David Attenborough in tone which made explicit scenes involving a young female character feel awkward rather than immersive. I’m very used to spicy romance, so it’s not the content that bothered me; it was the lack of buildup, weak character work, and mismatched delivery.
Overall: a promising concept that needed stronger writing and more suitable narration to make it work.
Male narrator was such an ick!
