About this listen

Monica Stephens never knew her birth mother. Raised by a strict but loving adoptive parent, she blossomed into a woman with a thriving career as a pediatrician and a family of her own. But sometimes, she wondered about her origins. Especially her biological mother.

Until Grace arrives.

Confessing to be the birth mother Monica had long wanted to meet, Grace quickly becomes an indispensable member of the Stephens household. Cooking their meals. Looking after the children. Comforting Monica when the family dog is inexplicably killed. Tending to Monica as she falls ill to a mysterious sickness that, every day, makes Monica look and feel older.

Meanwhile, Grace is looking better. More vibrant. More youthful. More seductive....

Monica's husband, Troy, knows something is up. He launches an investigation into the woman who demands to be called "Nana" and has taken over his home.

But the truth is beyond their wildest imaginings.

It seems Grace has done this before....

This horror is a wonderful mix of human and monster alike. Well paced and perfectly grotesque in all the right places. I will definitely look to consume more of Massey’s work.

Stellar performance

I got this as a free book as I was in between my credit days. I didn't hold out much hope but actually really enjoyed it.
it was something different and I enjoyed the characters and the unusual storyline. I certainly didn't get bored and I do have a tendency to get bored sometimes with books.
I would definitely recommend this title.

Great!

Haven’t heard anything like it before. Made me so angry omg, I’ve never wanted to punch a character through the phone before. I would have liked for the ending to be more detailed and more satisfying. An amazing listen nonetheless

I liked the suspense and it had a happy ending . I was glad the family beat the devil . I was half expecting the evil was laying dormant somewhere to just be waiting to pounce. .

Well, that was a deliciously unexpected tale.

Very enjoyable, refreshingly different, a bit bonkers & farfetched (obviously) but bizarrely believable too in an odd sort of way.

Loved it.

The story started off good it’s not a storyline I’ve read so far but I am just getting into thriller books. The ending was a let down in my opinion. A lot of unnecessary commentary with only 30mins left focusing on the school teacher & the police officer. Those minutes could’ve been used to explain what Grace was & how she’s able to have so many children & why she waits until the age she comes back to them.

It was an interesting story

Brandon Massey treats us to an African-American horror story that pulls few punches but somehow fails to land that killing blow. It's narrated by Leon Nixon who does have a beautiful timbre to his voice and delivers a suitably chilling 'Nana'. Nana is Grace, who lands in the middle of Troy and Monica's lives as Monica's birth mother just as Monica is burying the adoptive mother that nurtured her as a child.

However, right from the off it's clear this isn't going to be some family drama and as things develop and things start to get nasty, horror is what's on the menu. For me it so very nearly worked but it fell apart a little for me around Monica. There were mitigating circumstances of course but she just never felt consistent to me. On top of that 'Nana' was just a little unsubtle and lacking in guile given what we discovered about her.

I'm duty bound to say that having looked over at Goodreads it seems a lot of people enjoyed this more than I did and in fairness I was still interested in how it would unfold until the end. Depending on taste it may well be a good buy for you but for me it didn't quite hit the mark. Possibly an additional hour of material could have woven in a bit more subtlety and character development.

I loved this audiobook! A noir horror crossed with modern middle class suburban life it was wild and unpredictable and gripping to the very end. The narration was the icing on the cake. Perfect.

Enthralling
