The dead have stories to tell. Are you
listening?
On a sunny August morning, in 1935, 13-year-old Sophia Gray
finds her friend Rosemary wandering in the woods. Rosemary’s yellow dress is
tattered and stained, she walks with a strange lurch, and her eyes are vacant
and glassy. She beckons to Sophia, desperate to show her something, and Sophia
follows.
In an abandoned cabin, beneath a tattered blanket, Sophia
discovers Rosemary’s body. It was not Rosemary who led her there, but
Rosemary’s ghost.
Step into the Northern Michigan Asylum for the Insane
Twenty years after Sophia discovers Rosemary’s body, she
finds herself trapped in the sprawling, and eerily beautiful, Northern Michigan
Asylum for the Insane, in the hands of a malevolent doctor who preys on
patients who exhibit paranormal abilities.
Sometimes the dead don’t rest
In 1965, Hattie, much like her mother, 30 years before, is
led by a ghost. A newspaper hidden in an attic reveals a secret that has shaped
the lives of Hattie and her siblings. Hattie with her sister, Jude, embark on a
crusade to remedy the wrongs of the past and discover the tale of deception
that stole their mother a decade before.
Hattie and Jude are in a race against time to discover a
murderer and save their mother from a horrific fate.
Get lost in a uniquely chilling story that spans the life of
a family and the ghosts who haunt them.

Some Can See is the first book in the Northern Michigan Asylum Series. This was a fantastic paranormal mystery with many twists that will keep you listening well into the night. I really enjoyed my listening experience of this audio-book. The narrators did an excellent job.
The story follows a few perspectives and timelines. Hattie and Jude are searching for the truth about what happened to their mother. It also follows Sophia as she tries to survive the Asylum and the evil doctor who has been experimenting on her. The truth about what was behind the experiments was really interesting and a cool premise. I won't spoil it for you here. This was a great mystery. I was kept guessing throughout. There is also a great paranormal aspect to the story. It was a nice balance. I highly recommend this first one in the series.
