This chilling audiobook features an outstanding ensemble cast. When a mysterious boy wanders into Isla's backyard from the woods, she's desperate for him to join her large family despite his unsettling strangeness and disjointed body. Erin deWard voices Isla gently as she escapes her spiraling depression through her unwavering certainty that the boy will complete her family. They reluctantly agree to take him in, seeing newfound happiness in Isla after the devastating loss of her most recent pregnancy. And that's when the horrors start. Michael Crouch and Caitlin Davies excel as the eldest teenagers, taking care to emotionally connect with listeners without overdramatizing. Ferdelle Capistrano's youthful voice for Sophie, the youngest child, is particularly heartrending, especially as her fear grows. A.K.R. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2025]
