If You See Her

Written by Ania Ahlborn

Narrated by Brian Holden

The house on Old Mill Road has stood in an open field for longer than Jesse Wells has been alive, its crooked windows and jutting turret tormenting the kids of Warsaw, Michigan the way only a haunted house knows how. Everyone imagines that something terrible lurks within the house’s abandoned rooms—especially Jesse and his two closest friends, Casey and Reed. But when Reed chooses the house as a backdrop for his own suicide, childhood ghost stories are transformed into a nightmare that sends Jesse into a downward spiral of grief.

Nearly twenty years later, Jesse stands on the collapsing steps of the house that snatched away his best friend. Casey has asked him to revisit their old demons, if only to help them find closure that’s long overdue. But tragedy finds them once more, and Jesse is left forever changed.

Now, left to cope with the disaster that had become his life, Jesse must unravel the mystery behind the house that has terrified him since he was a boy. To fail is to lose everything he has left. But success might come at an even a higher price.

Reviews for If You See Her

[John Water · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Not her best work. Very much a story like the ring movie. Not sure if author meant to but the wives are not very good partners.

[Jill Jorgensen · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

I have loved several of her books. This is not one if them. This could have been a great ghost story but it wasn’t.

[Reagan · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I'm always looking forward to new books by Ania Ahlborn. The concept of the haunting as an "infection" that passes from person to person was really interesting and made this more than just a classic haunted house story. I liked the psychological aspect, as we witness Jesse's descent into madness and how he is drawn to the house (despite how hard he struggles against it). I do wish there were more scares. It was unsettling and creepy when, after their terrible date, Jesse thought he was speaking with his wife outside of the abandoned house and then all of a sudden it wasn't her, but rather Georgiana leering at him ("The ashen-faced girl stared at him with her sunken eyes. She smiled, exposing broken teeth and blackened gums."). In terms of the editing and proofreading, there were some spelling errors and word tense mistakes that took me out of the story. Overall, I would recommend anyone looking for a spooky read to pick up this or any other of Ania Ahlborn's novels.
