About this listen

Although Thirteen feeds into the best-selling Psychic Surveys series, and is the story of sub-character, Ness, it can also be read as a standalone.

Don't leave me alone in the dark....

In 1977, Minch Point Lighthouse on Skye's most westerly tip was suddenly abandoned by the keeper and his family - no reason ever found. In the decade that followed, it became a haunt for teenagers on the hunt for thrills. Playing 13 Ghost Stories, they'd light 13 candles, blowing one out after every story told until only the darkness remained.

In 1987, following her success working on a case with Sussex Police, 25-year-old psychic Ness Patterson is asked to investigate recent happenings at the lighthouse. Local teen Ally Dunn has suffered a breakdown following time spent there and is refusing to speak to anyone. Arriving at her destination on a stormy night, Ness gets a terrifying insight into what the girl experienced.

The case growing ever more sinister, Ness realises: some games should never be played.

Toni Frutin reads well and has a pleasant voice, my only issue was that the story is told in the first person, the first person (Ness) is from the South Coast of England. whilst she attempted an English accent when she was reading Ness's conversations, she used her own Scottish accent when Ness wasn't talking aloud and I found that disconcerting.

The story was well written until the end when it just seemed to trail off, that was disappointing as I've read all the Psychic Surveys series.

Mostly good

This is the 2nd of 3, (or 4 if you include 'Eve. A Christmas Ghost Story), books that are novellas to the Psychic Survey series of books.
Thirteen centres around the PS team member, Ness.
It is my favourite so far. I put this down to the wonderful lilt and soothing, calm tone of the narrator, the beautifully described scenery and depiction of atmosphere on Scotland's Isle of Skye, and a unique, compelling storyline peppered with many factual references that made the story all the more interesting.
Loved it! Thanks Shani - one of your best from those I've read so far!
Now looking forward to listening to 'Rosamund'!

Was drawn into another world and I loved it!

Honestly can’t get enough of these stories. Ness is wonderful. So real & just want to know she’s ok!
Creepy tale, culminating into a full on creep fest when things get together! I don’t want to put any spoilers. Such tension.
The characters are live and wonderful at the centre of these tales.
Narrator as always so soothing and tension building. Great!

Loved it
