Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

I was immediately drawn into Lily's world, her vulnerability and love for her sister Emma making her a relatable protagonist. Riddell's performance is exceptional, capturing the nuances of each character's voice and emotion. She expertly portrays the chilling transformation of the 'perfect' stepmother, making her a character you love to hate. The pacing is steady, allowing the suspense to build organically. However, I found some of the reveals a tad predictable, but that didn't detract from my enjoyment. The production quality is top-notch, with no distracting background noise. If you're a fan of psychological thrillers that focus on relationships and suspense rather than action, this audiobook is a must-listen.
