Hope

By: Josephine Walker

Narrated by: Elizabeth Lambert

An amazing story of courage and character that you will not want to put down.

After two and a half years of deep depression, anger at God, and guilt over the death of her husband and twin girls, all bestselling romance writer Jessica Lynn Morgan wants is to buy a house, get back to writing, and live out her life alone in peace. And the little town of Hope, Wyoming, seems to offer the peace she needs.

Or does it?

Unfortunately, her dream house is rumored to be haunted. Not one to believe in ghosts, she fights for any logical explanation for the things happening that seem to warn her off. Once she moves in, the threat against her life becomes real. Clearly, someone or something wants her out. Now.

Will her stubbornness cost Jessica her life?

A clean, sweet story with religious undertones

Good story! It has a bit of a Nancy Drew flavor to it mixed with religious (Christian) undertones. I never would have figured out the "whoddunnit" part by myself (I often do!)

The narrator has a soothing voice, and it didn't bother me much that she didn't do voices- I could still tell who said what. The reading pace was a bit too slow for me so I had to change the setting to 1.10x.

I was provided a copy of this audiobook at my request and am voluntarily leaving this review.

Believe in Me

What a beautiful feeling listening to this book. Well written and the narration was superb. I await more from this author. I would highly recommend this book.

Not my cup of tea

The story seemed to have a slow build up. I went into this story thinking it was a suspenseful romance, but I didn’t feel the suspense very much. There was some mystery, but it played out so slowly that it didn’t grip me like a true suspense normally does.

The narrator didn’t have much emotion and it felt like she was actually just reading, not necessarily narrating. I just didn’t feel it.

I certainly hope more people will give it a try. Just because it didn’t do it for me doesn’t mean it was all together bad. The growing romance was sweet and the little boy was adorable. Hope this can speak to the right people.

Great Read

Hope was a good read by Josephine Walker. Best Selling romance author Jessica Lynn Morgan has spent the last two and a half years depressed, angry at God, and with guilt over her husband and twin daughters death. She now wants to buy a house, start writing again, and live out her life in peace. She moves to Hope, Wyoming and her dream house is rumored to be haunted. She does everything to logically figure out what’s going on since she doesn’t believe in ghosts. I enjoyed this book and can’t wait to read more by the author.

I'm really surprised that I finished this listen

I did not like the narrator. There. I said it. Lambert had a pleasant enough voice but that's where it begins and ends. Emotion, tension, humor, variety, all was lost. I should have put the book down the first time a six-year-old boy sounded just like a forty-year-old woman. The fact that I didn't was a testament to the story itself.

I loved this story. I loved the religious undertones. I loved the romance that played out in the backstory. I loved the mystery (although I figured out what was going on waaay before the end.)

This was a good story. The narration was not.
