Sinossi

Elisa Monroe’s controlling husband Alex declares it’s time for them to buy a house and start a family, but Elisa doesn’t want either. He manipulates her into buying the house anyway, and she realizes that the only way to have a life that belongs to her is to leave him. But how?
 
Marshalling support from her colleagues, her therapist and domestic violence workers, Elisa begins the slow process of breaking free. But Alex is not willing to let her go, and he escalates from bullying to outright abuse, revealing that he is a much more dangerous creature than she could ever have imagined.
 
Will Elisa escape with her life? Or will what lies beneath the second skin finally devour her alive?

    In contemporary Buffalo, Dan's world is upended when he unearths a young woman's skeleton while replacing the gas main in a city neighborhood.

In 1851, the newly widowed Madeleine Talmadge and her orphaned nieces, Jane and Lydia, seek the aid of a cunning spiritualist, Alexander Dodge Lewis. Lewis leads them on a perilous journey from one séance to the next, attempting to summon the spirit of Madeleine's late husband and promoting Lydia's latent abilities as a medium.

    When Marion Hawthorne arrives at the remote Ravenscroft estate to catalog her late aunt’s belongings, she expects dust and antiques—never whispered secrets or restless spirits. Yet the moment Marion steps into the manor’s shadowed halls, she senses an unseen presence guiding her toward a hidden ritual known as “the flitting.” As she uncovers cryptic journals and deciphers an ancient lullaby, Marion confronts memories of a vanished childhood friend and the legacy of grief that binds the living to the dead. With every creaking floorboard and flicker of candlelight, Marion’s pragmatic quest transforms into a mission of liberation: to compose a counter‐melody that will guide trapped souls home. Narrated with haunting atmosphere and emotional depth, The Flitting immerses listeners in a tale where gothic suspense and purposeful action converge. Each spectral encounter and small triumph—charting archives by candlelight, gathering villagers to revive a long‐forgotten song, facing down a haunted mirror in a subterranean crypt—illuminates how focused courage and collaborative resolve can turn fear into meaningful progress. By weaving family lore, investigative rigor, and musical ritual into one tapestry, this audiobook inspires listeners to face their own hidden pasts, embrace uncertainty, and transform haunting mysteries into catalysts for growth.
