Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Olivia Vinall's performance is a standout feature of this audiobook, bringing each sister to life with distinct voices and emotions. Her portrayal adds depth to the narrative, making the characters relatable even as their fates become increasingly dire. The pacing is deliberate, allowing for moments of eerie silence that enhance the overall atmosphere. However, some scenes feel slightly overlong, stretching tension into potential boredom. Despite this minor critique, The Hounding remains a compelling listen, blending elements of Gothic literature with modern storytelling in a way that feels both fresh and timeless.
