About this audiobook
Gilly Ramsey's lonely childhood was brightened only by visits to her godmother until her death, when the grown-up Gilly inherits the family cottage, “ Thornyhold.” Set deep in a wild wood, with its magical and peaceful strength and its sovereign defenses against evil, Thornyhold is like something out of a fairy tale. The old house strikes an end to Gilly's bleak future, offering more than just a new home. It presents a chance to start over— despite its reputation for magic, history of witchcraft, and a resident black cat. This Gothic romance features sparkling prose, delightful characters, and classic intrigue.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Book is great, but the recording is very fuzzy and hard to understand.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The book is wonderful, but the audio quality is poor, muffled and hard to understand. And the reading is not of the full written story. I got my book out to check and there are chunks of text that are skipped in the reading. I didn’t like that. I didn’t finish the audio, but instead just read the book to get the full story.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I would have given a 4-star review for the story, but the audio quality of the recording (muffled and low volume) really detracted from the presentation. Pleae fix the audio!
