Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

I was hooked from the start, thanks to Seagrove's engaging narration. Stewart's plot is a masterclass in tension, with twists that kept me guessing. The love story felt genuine, and the horror elements were genuinely chilling. However, some of the secondary characters could have been more fully developed. Overall, this is a gripping, atmospheric listen that's perfect for fans of historical fiction with a dark edge.
