When Angela Ellis returns to her childhood home on St. Nabor Island, South Carolina, her junior year of college interrupted indefinitely by her mother's death, she doesn't know how she'll ever be able to function in the world without her mother's love, support, and guidance. Soon after her mother's funeral, strange sounds begin to trouble her in the night, sounds she swears are her mother's angry voice. In an effort to find peace for herself and for her mother's restless spirit, Angela begins a ghost hunt that makes her friends fear for her sanity and that leads her to more questions than answers.

As she tries ignore her mother's dying wishes, a stranger arrives on the island, looking to bring Devil's Back into the 21st century at last.

As plans for a new resort on Devil's Back spur Casey to move her life forward, Angela's ghost investigation forces her to examine the past. Fate has put their lives on a collision course, and through each other, they will find the way through their grief.

My original review disappeared

Which character as performed by Becket Royce was your favorite?

I really enjoyed this narrators tone and pace. She did an amazing job on this story.

Any additional comments?

Since my original review disappeared I cannot recall all of the details of this book as I've listened to and read more books since. What I do recall is that mother and daughter are reunited through a paranormal connection. I was provided this audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Boom.

Interesting Listen

The author and narrator were new to me. This is a very well written story that is Women's Fiction and some Romance with the mention of ghosts. The premise of the book was complex which intrigued me. Parts of the story moved fast while others were slow. I have been listening to mystery and thriller books lately, so this wasn't as gripping as I was expecting. Overall, I thought it was very good and would listen to more by both the author and narrator. I was voluntarily provided this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author, narrator, and/or publisher.

What She inherits

Angela is forced to leave collage and return home upon the death of her mother. Her father is in a nursing home and cannot remember her. As she begins dealing with her mother's estate she begins to hear foot steps and to hear her mother's voice.

While 37 year on Casey lives in Maine with her Great Aunt. Trying to disassociate with the world.

Gradually through Angela's research of her family, events lead them to discover each others existence.

Great book.

Yaël ne vit que pour son travail. Brillante interprète pour une agence de renom, elle enchaîne les réunions et les dîners d'affaires sans jamais se laisser le temps de respirer. Les vacances, très peu pour elle, l'adrénaline est son moteur. Juchée sur ses éternels escarpins, elle est crainte de ses collègues, et ne voit quasiment jamais sa famille et ses amis qui s'inquiètent de son attitude. Peu lui importe les reproches qu'on lui adresse, elle a simplement l'impression d'avoir fait un autre choix, animée d'une volonté farouche de réussir.

Title: Fish Have No Feet

Author: Jón Kalman Stefánsson, Philip Roughton - translator

Narrator: Saul Reichlin

Format: Unabridged

Language: English

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

Keflavik: a town that has been called the darkest place in Iceland, surrounded by black lava fields, hemmed in by a sea that may not be fished. Its livelihood depends entirely on a US military base, a conduit for American influences that shaped Icelandic culture and ethics from the 1950s to the dawning of the new millennium.

It is to Keflavik that Ari - a writer and publisher - returns from Copenhagen at the behest of his dying father, two years after walking out on his wife and children. He is beset by memories of his youth, spent (or misspent) listening to Pink Floyd and the Beatles, fraternising with American servicemen - who are regarded by the locals with a mixture of admiration and contempt - and discovering girls. There is one girl in particular he could never forget. Her fate has stayed with him all his life.

Lost in grief and nostalgia, he is also caught up in the story of how his grandparents fell in love in Nordfjordur on the eastern coast, a fishing village a world away from modern Keflavik, at a time when the old ways still held sway. Their tragic love affair unfolded against the backdrop of Iceland's harsh nature and unforgiving elements.

Fish Have No Feet is at once the story of a singular family and an epic of Icelandic history and culture. It offers a unique insight into modern Iceland and the ways in which it has been shaped by outside influences. A sparkling novel of love, pain, loss and lifelong desire that marries the poetic, elemental style of Heaven and Hell, The Sorrow of Angels and The Heart of Man to a modern frame of reference and sensibility.

Members Reviews:

Why do we have such a hard time being happy and loving one another

A thoughtful meditation on life that resonates wherever you stand on the planet. You can almost feel the Icelandic chill, but it is a chill that we all feel as human beings struggling through our lives. Why do we have such a hard time being happy and loving one another? Poetic prose that is comforting in its willingness to stare our faults straight in the face. P.S. I bought the physical book in Paris at Shakespeare & Company and it cost 24 Euros, well worth it regardless.

Sheer bliss

A book for everybody who likes good stories and poetry, a novel crammed with reflection and everyday life. And a history of Iceland these last hundred years.

Title: Mr. Eternity

Author: Aaron Thier

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 29 mins

Language: English

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

Key West, 2016. Sea levels are rising, coral reefs are dying. In short, everything is going to hell. It's here that two young filmmakers find something to believe in: an old sailor who calls himself Daniel Defoe and claims to be 560 years old. In fact, old Dan is in the prime of his life - an incredible, perhaps eternal American life.

The story unfolds over the course of a millennium, picking up in the 16th century in the Viceroyalty of New Granada and continuing into the 26th, where, in the future Democratic Federation of Mississippi States, Dan serves as an advisor to the King of St. Louis. Some things remain constant throughout the centuries, and being on the edge of ruin may be one.

In 1560, the Spaniards have destroyed the Aztec and Inca civilizations. In 2500, we've destroyed our own: the cities of the Atlantic coast are underwater, the union has fallen apart, and cars, plastics, and air conditioning are relegated to history. But there are other constants too: love, humor, and old Dan himself, always adapting and inspiring others with dreams of a better life.

An ingenious, hilarious, and captivating audiobook, Mr. Eternity is multiple stories in one. Together they form an uncommon work - about our changing planet and its remarkable continuities.

Title: The City of Woven Streets

Narrator: Aysha Kala

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 hrs and 36 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-02-16

Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

The tapestry of life may be more fragile than it seems: pull one thread, and all will unravel.

In The City of Woven Streets, human life has little value. You practice a craft to keep you alive, or you are an outcast, unwanted and tainted. Eliana is a young weaver in the House of Webs, but secretly knows she doesn't really belong there. She is hiding a shameful birth defect that would, if anyone knew about it, land her in the House of the Tainted, a prison for those whose very existence is considered a curse.

When an unknown woman with her tongue cut off and Eliana's name tattooed on her skin arrives at the House of Webs, Eliana discovers an invisible network of power behind the city's facade. All the while, the sea is clawing the shores and the streets are slowly drowning.
