Summary
Ruby is the most violently disturbed patient ever admitted to Drummersgate Asylum, high on the bleak moors of northern England. With no improvement after two years, Dr. Jack McGowan finally decides to take a risk and hypnotizes her - with terrifying consequences.
A horrific dark force is now unleashed on the entire medical team, as each in turn attempts to unlock Ruby's shocking and sinister past. Who is this girl? And how did she manage to survive such unimaginable evil? Set in a desolate ex-mining village, where secrets are tightly kept and intruders hounded out, their questions soon lead to a haunted mill, the heart of darkness, and the father of lies.

story bad, narration even worse
If this book wasn’t for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?
I have rarely written a bad review but felt so disappointed after purchasing this audio.
What could S. E. England have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
I only listened half way before giving up.
The narration was so bad, I couldn't be sure which accent she was doing.
Any additional comments?

This is my idea of scary!
I adore the kind of horrors that I can believe are possible. This was one such tale and I'm keenly awaiting the release of the second in the series; so much so, I've pre-ordered it. Not something I do often.

Accent issues
I've just given up on this partway through after struggling on listening to the narrator's attempts at accents. She has a lovely voice to listen to, and the sections which don't require regional accents are just fine, but listening to the "northern" accents is excruciating, they are inconsistent and a blend of Yorkshire, Liverpool, Scottish and .. Irish? I never write negative reviews on here, but the total misfire here is so distracting that I've lost track of the actual story now!

Couldn't listen to this as the narrators accents are truly abysmal. Turned it off after a few mins. Can I have my money back please?

the story is twisting and turning but the awful accents detract from the main plot.

Worst narrator ever
Could not enjoy this audio experience as the narrator had an annoying voice whenever she tried to put on an accent not could she envoke any atmosphere she couldn't do anything more than make me feel annoyance towards each character

Really very good.
Started this trilogy with average hopes as the "darkly disturbing occult horror " title felt that it might've been more of a suggestion than a description. But I was wrong wrong wrong. I honestly believe that this would translate well onto the screen .. some of the notions are disturbing and the horror is very well done. It's a good story, well written and well performed ( some of the accents are a bit dodgy but you get used to them so that's fine. ) I binged listened ... well worth it !!

Ok but not great
I find this book confusing, particularly in the choice of scenes the writer uses. Near the end of the book, one of the characters is warned to be careful as the knowledge she has is dangerous. In the next scene, another character refers to her as dead, her heart having given out for some unknown reason. I went back and relistened to the two scenes, thinking I'd missed something, but I hadn't. Whether the character's death scene was written earlier, or just omitted I can't figure out, and honestly am not invested in the book enough to try and track it down. If it was omitted - why? That just seems perverse. The perspective shifts from character to character and between time frames, and I have trouble keeping up - mostly I think because I'm not really connecting to the story and the characters enough to care about what happens. The ending also annoys me - the book more or less just cuts off mid story. I know it's part of a trilogy, but I'd still expect it to be contained enough for each part to contain one story as part of a bigger story, not just chunks of one story. A trilogy isn't the same thing as serial, at least not for me.
It's not badly written, and the performance is ok, but I've little to no interest in following the trilogy further.

Great story, shame about the narration.
Quite possibly the worst performance in my audible library. No reflection on the story however.
