About this listen

A Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestseller.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover comes a novel that explores life after tragedy and the enduring spirit of love.

When Leeds meets Layla, he’s convinced he’ll spend the rest of his life with her - until an unexpected attack leaves Layla fighting for her life. After weeks in the hospital, Layla recovers physically, but the emotional and mental scarring has altered the woman Leeds fell in love with. In order to put their relationship back on track, Leeds whisks Layla away to the bed-and-breakfast where they first met. Once they arrive, Layla’s behavior takes a bizarre turn. And that’s just one of many inexplicable occurrences.

Feeling distant from Layla, Leeds soon finds solace in Willow - another guest of the B&B with whom he forms a connection through their shared concerns. As his curiosity for Willow grows, his decision to help her find answers puts him in direct conflict with Layla’s well-being. Leeds soon realizes he has to make a choice because he can’t help both of them. But if he makes the wrong choice, it could be detrimental for all of them.

Critic reviews

“The audiobook is narrated by the late Brian Pallino, who provided distinct voices and powerfully reflected the emotions of the characters.” (Library Journal)

“Surprising and emotionally tense, this paranormal romance is sure to entertain.” (Publishers Weekly)

“The love between Leeds and Willow has a very appealing, slow build, while the many plot turns will keep readers guessing through to the shocking resolution.” (Booklist)

My low emotional quotient made me almost DNF this, but out of respect to my favourite author I kept on reading….and I’m thankful I did. Different genre from her books that I read, but CoHo did it again!! As always!

Kudos to narrator Brian Pallino, really think he did a great job!

ALMOST DNF this, good thing I didn’t!

Absolutely amazing, kept going right until the last chapter, totally different to what I usually read

Could not stop listening

An easy listen that drags along, especially mid-end.

Nevertheless a fun enough ghost story, good for when attention levels are not running at maximum. I was entertained just enough to finish it. Implausible character behaviour and far too much exposition kept me from immersion.

Narrator has a deep erotic-novel type voice and gives a good performance.

Silly but fun

I really enjoyed Verity and wasn't sure what to expect from Layla. My feelings changed dramatically for Leeds as the story progressed. This was a really unique story that I will be recommending to everyone.

incredible! Such a creepy and unique story
