I believe that the voice acting and sound effects saved this book. The audiobook was so well acted, I became fully immersed. The first 3/4 of the book I found utterly wonderful, being intriguing, atmospheric and well written... that last quarter however, was just plain confusing.I felt the book ended up going into a place I dislike, where the author feels like they have too many character plots and lose ends to tie up that they forget the actual story.The last quarter really pulled me out of the...

Well, this was fun! And binge-worthy; once I started it was hard to put it down.It's a full cast horror audio drama with a great production and amazing narrators. The characters are interesting and complex so I was enjoying following their journey to despair. Because this is a story of an isolation and loneliness, of twisted love and all the way we can hurt each other and ourselves. You know from the start that there's something very wrong with the main character and soon you learn there's somet...

I love Polar / Arctic horror novels and I really enjoyed listening to this full cast audio production. Kirsty Logan is a queer Scottish author whom I love dearly and this queer novel full of unreliable narrators does not disappoint. But if you don't like horror / gothic novels, this might not be the one for you. It takes a lot from "Mountains of Madness" but without the scifi twist. I really liked it but I am biased. I also loved "Dark Matter" by Michelle Paver. I like to be creeped out (a bit)....

Ummmmmm this book left me with questions. Like I get she’s probably crazy and did it all, but also like how? What was real? What was her imagination? Did no one notice these things happening? Or am I putting more into than I need to and it happened the way she saw it? I’m a little confused. I was hoping for some kind of closure at the end, answers in some gruesome way. But I don’t feel like I got them.

3.5 stars. This ticks a lot of my boxes such as a cold location, related to water, written by a woman about a woman, and I really enjoyed it, but the ending got a bit carried away in my opinion.

Rating 2.5/5I wasn’t sure what to expect going into this audiobook as I haven’t really experienced many that have been made for the sole purpose of being an audiobook, I wasn’t sure if it would be for me but I wanted to try it anyway because the description sounded amazing. Unfortunately, it wasn’t quite the right choice for me, this book definitely has horror vibes and I am really not that keen on the genre, so bear that in mind whilst reading.I feel like I have experienced a few books lately t...

Most of the bad reviews I’ve seen are focusing on the lack of plot. There wasn’t a lack of plot, it was just a character driven story. I understand that isn’t for everyone. If you’re like me and like stories that hold more weight in the subtleties, you might enjoy this book. The writing was beautiful and the performances on audible were wonderful. I specifically loved listening to Trieste and Grace speak. I loved the psychological terror that slowly ate away at you and just kept building and bui...

New to Audible plus catalog. Full cast narrators. They’re all unreliable. If that’s something you dislike, this probably isn’t the book for you. The sound was often garbled or cut off on purpose. Audible ratings are mixed. With two 2 star ratings and one 5 star rating.For fans of horror or books with a creepy vibe, it might be worth a try.

This story is so intriguing, mysterious, and dynamic. I couldn’t stop listening to it so I could find out what was happening next. I loved all the characters. The storyline was very suspenseful.

Atmospheric, deeply unsettling, this audio drama leaves you feeling spooked and unnerved. The sound production makes this a truly immersive experience and the voice actors make this strange and haunted base come alive. The creepy descent into madness will stay with me.

The first review I read of this was negative but luckily for me I prefer to make up my own mind (ymmv)Firstly, if you have not read other Kirsty Logan books, get thee to The Grace Keeper's and The Gloaming. This is a more scarier book than I would go for but I was SUPER excited to hear this was a cast piece and I really appreciated how immersive the story is. In fact that's what adds to the eerieness & horror. The sound department on this production is to be totally commended - the interference

First off, this was an amazing audio production. A lot of time and effort went into it and it tells. It's very immersive with the sound effects. The voice acting was also pretty stellar across the board. The only downside is sometimes you have to turn the audio up to listen to the characters whisper only to all of a sudden be hit with a loud sound effect booming in your ear next second, maybe it's intentional to keep you on edge.The story itself was good, creepy tone and the production really do...

Quality Rating: Three StarsEnjoyment Rating: Two StarsFor me, this audiobook was just a lot of things done not very well which led to ten hours on the tube that felt like it extended the commute instead of shortening it. While I liked the actors to begin with, their performances didn't develop and when they changed from the same tone of voice it was to go into complete hysterical melodrama. The middle of the story was the same three scenes happening over and over again for like six hours ('talk

Well done as far as the cast and audio. But I realized about 2 hours in that it was quite different than I was expecting. I don’t like horror. At all. But by that point I was invested in the characters. I finished it. But regretted my determination to do so. I wanted a conclusion. An explanation of what was going on. A revealing at the end. That didn’t happen. Far too many loose ends at the conclusion for me. Even an epilogue just to explain would have made me more content. I don’t enjoy a book

The sound effects and voice acting were phenomenal, and if the story matched that it would have been 5 stars. If the story could have been as good as the premise and the sound design it might have been as great as the White Vault. It is not.The main character is annoying and boring, and the entire plot of discovering more about each character from these "therapy" sessions just to have a tiny bit of backstory before they die, as a replacement of actually telling a story. What was the plot? What w...

I usually enjoy full-cast narration with sound effects and I think it worked really well for this creepy little story. The ominous groans of the ice and the station building worked to make the whole story very ominous and there were even a few jump scares! This was fun entertainment for a couple of nights listening.

Spooky but only because of the sound effects which were getting very annoying by the end. There was basically no pay off at all which was very disappointing. Just a long slide into craziness.

Really, we ought to be able to give six or seven stars for when a book absolutely floors you. This would be a six star book for me. I know I'm going to keep thinking of this story and these characters for a long time. It was proper scary, as well as funny in places and occasionally heart-breaking. The cast and performances are top notch. And it does some clever stuff with the audio that I've not encountered elsewhere: for example [MINOR SPOILER] at one point someone says something creepy, then i...

It was pretty much what you would expect, except I kept hoping for more. Great performances with decent plot made this entertaining. I was a bit disappointed in the ending as the twist was not a surprise. worth listening to though as it had its moments.

Hmm, this is a tough one to rate for me. Audio production, voices, sound effects all excellent. It was fun, intriguing and creepy but it lost me a little at the end. It leaves you with a lot of questions which is maybe the point but I think an epilogue or something to give a little closure or explanation would've left me with a more enjoyable feeling at the end. I'll leave it with 3 stars because, as I already said, the sounds, effects and voices were entertaining, chilling and jump worthy in ma...
