About this audiobook

In this Amazon Charts bestselling novel of psychological suspense, a young mother follows a dangerous path to find her missing husband.

Veronica Cavanaugh’s grasp on the world is slipping. Her latest round of fertility treatments not only failed but left her on edge and unbalanced. And her three-year-old daughter, Elizabella, has a new imaginary friend, who seems much more devilish than playful. So when Veronica’s husband fails to return home from a business trip, what’s left of her stability begins to crumble.

Given her family’s history of mental illness, and Elizabella’s insistence that her daddy is dead, Veronica starts questioning herself. Every move she makes is now suspect. Worse still, Veronica is positive that someone wants her and her daughter dead, too—unless it’s all in her mind…

Somewhere beneath her paranoia is the answer to her husband’s vanishing. To find it, she’s led to a house in the Florida Keys. But once there, she isn’t sure she wants to know the truth.

    The story was interesting, but the drama portrayed by the narrator was almost unbearable.

    The narration was awful. Glad to know I wasn't the only one who felt this way. Really distracted from the story.

    Good storyline. I liked the lead character. Had I written the book I would have murdered the spoilt brat at about chapter 2. Worth a listen if you can bear the child’s voice.

    The story was decent. The narrator was the audiobook’s downfall. She overemphasized every action verb and adjective. The voice she gave to the daughter, Bella, was nearly impossible to listen to (the child’s lines were also poorly written, so there’s that). Bottom line, given a redo, I’d pass on this one.

    Had to stop at chapter 18. Narration is atrocious. Writing is elementary at best. Main character is written as dumb, hysterical, unhinged, and a pretty terrible person in general. Female authors writing this way about female characters really says something here. Don’t bother.

    Great story and kept me hooked throughout. I just have one issue; the voice of the narrator was too nasal and sometimes it became very annoying.

    I got tired of this book really fast
    There was a lot of mystery which eventually kept me till the end but it was too repetitive. I was tired of the main character and her daughter at some point
    Several times i considered stopping halfway, because i suspected it wasn’t worth it
    I listened to the audio book , so i had the pleasure of multitasking and still i was tired
    Not my thing

    I couldn't get past the baby voice used by the narrator. It was so distracting.

    Okay the book was alright but the Narrator was doing way to much it took me out of the moments a lot, especially when she was reading as the daughter. Main character wasn’t very likeable and grief was portrayed in a shallow way. An easy read to put on while cleaning

    The voice of the little girl is terribly annoying. If you can get paced that (very difficult) you will find this book enjoyable. But the voice! Awful!

    Audio narration is absolutely intolerable. Did anyone test listen this before releasing it? Between the audio quality, what sounds like lisping, and ultra high pitched, unrealistic character voices, I stopped one chapter in. I can't actually speak for the story line, which never happens. Had I purchased this narration, vs. it being included with my subscription, I would request a refund immediately.

    This book was in the "literary fiction" category. It should not be. This is pulpy trashy whodunnit fiction. I should say that I absolutely love pulpy trashy whodunnit fiction, but this simply wasn't very well done and was just a bit hard to listen to. It's like it is simple schlock trying to be more than that. In trying to make the protagonist and her daughter empathetic and 3D the author has actually achieved the opposite. She comes across as self centred, whiney, privileged and oblivious. The kind of book I'd usually like to pass the time, but very poorly executed. Still a little unclear as to what the title has to do with the book...

    Love this story and kept me guessing right to the end. The reader was amazing and the only negative thing I have to say and it’s not only with this book is that when a writer writes small childrens lines they don’t have me convinced a little child would actually say that. ❤️

    The story was kind of interesting, although the ending wasn’t as interesting as I anticipated. I think I would have liked the book more if I had read it instead of listening to the audio version. The reader was way too dramatic and the voice she used for the little daughter was just terrible. I was also often annoyed by the dialog which was so stupid sometimes and the main character was also just so dumb at times. But I wanted to know how it would all end so I did listen to the end, although it felt like an anti climax.

    It was an intriguing story, but the writing is so juvenile. People don’t actually think they’re crazy when crazy things happened to them. I just found it very frustrating. Yet the premise held so much promise.

    Too much "am I going crazy" discussion. Please just mention twice (not 20 times) and move on. No idea why the book is called "Trespassing".
