Synopsis: "Grief can change us... rewire our
brains and shift the way we look at the world..."
After returning home from her father's funeral to find her
boyfriend in bed with another woman, Mackenzie Clair is looking for a fresh
start. She thinks she'll find it in her favorite childhood vacation spot, but
returning to Donn's Hill awakens more than nostalgia. Mac regains a lost
psychic ability to talk to the dead, and the poltergeist haunting her apartment
is desperate to make her use that gift to find his killer.
Aided by her new roommate - a spirited Tortoiseshell cat
named Striker, and the ghost-hunting crew of the nationally televised show Soul
Searchers, Mac struggles to learn how to use her powers. But she'd better get a
handle on them fast, because someone in town is hiding a deadly secret. If Mac
can't somehow divine the truth, Donn's Hill will never be the same.
My thoughts:
Donn's Hill was a pleasant surprise. I ended up really enjoy the book. It involves Mackenzie who moves to Donn's HIll looking for a fresh start after the death of her father. There she finds a strange group of friends, an unusual job and a mystery she needs to solve before ti's too late.
As I said, I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook. I enjoyed all of the characters, especially Mackenzie. She is a character I definitely want to read more about. I also loved the mix of mystery and supernatural. It was a nice blend and well balanced. I was kept guessing until the end. I Can't wait to listen to the next book, Donn's Shadow!

About the Narrator: Jessica McEvoy
Between peddling video games and teaching yoga in her home
state of Arizona, Jessica McEvoy attempts to conduct a career as a professional
voice actress. This, however, is moderately undermined by the fact that she
records in a dimly lit closet with her microphone balanced on a stack of old
board games (Junior Scrabble and Powerpuff Girls Monopoly form a strong
foundation), but she hopes that no one holds that against her.
Though her main work consists of narrating audiobooks, her
first dive into the voice world was through the NoSleep podcast after answering
a post from the LibriVox forums. Having been raised on horror movies and scary
stories, she was beyond excited to be able to work on the show. Many stories,
tortured screams, deranged villains, and creepy little girl giggles later,
Jessica hopes to work on the podcast for seasons and seasons to come.
