The Girl from the Hidden Forest

By: Hannah Linder

Narrated by: Anne Flosnik

Eliza’s Memories Threaten to Kill Her

Enjoy another Gothic Style Regency from Hannah Linder.

Eliza Ellis has stayed hidden in Balfour Forest for as long as she can remember. Perhaps her only friends are the trees, or her little dog, or her story-telling father called Captain. But at least she is safe from the cruel world outside, a world Captain has warned her against and protected her from.

That is, until a handsome stranger named Felton Northwood invades her quiet forest and steals her away. Why does he tell such lies? Why does he insist that her name is Miss Eliza Gillingham, daughter of a viscount, who disappeared fourteen years ago after the murder of her own mother? A murder Eliza is said to have witnessed.

When Felton returns Eliza to Monbury Hall and reunites her with a man who is told to be her father, all she remembers are the strange nightmares that have plagued her since childhood. Why have they suddenly grown worse? Are the answers hidden inside her own mind?

As danger mounts and lethal attempts are made on her life, Eliza and Felton must work together to uncover the identity of a killer who has stayed silent for fourteen years. When she finally uncovers the horrendous memories trapped in her mind, will divulging the truth cost her the man she loves—and both of their lives?

A 5* Gothic Fairytale Mystery-

The dying of her mother…
The memories and nightmares of this little girl…
What is real and what is imagined?

Hidden away in a cabin in the forest, Eliza adores her surroundings, her Captain and all of his stories, yet she is haunted by memories and scenes that she does not understand.

Felton Northwood is convinced that Eliza is the key to clearing his family’s name but, unknowingly, he has unleashed the same evil that began fourteen years ago.

Hannah Linder masterfully weaves this tale to its unforgettable ending with characters that cannot be trusted and those whose identity is veiled with mystery. This is a beauty of a story with unexpected twists and shocking revelations.

The audiobook by Anne Flosnik is engaging and perfectly performed for this gothically-dark, fairytale of a story.

This book is suitable for teens and older with no inappropriate intimate scenes and no bad language. I received this book from the author/publisher free of charge, with no expectation of a positive review.

Deliciously Gothic

Loved this story and the narration was pitch perfect. Full of suspense, romance, with twists and turns that keep the listener engaged. I’ll be listening to more from Linder.

It didn’t need to be so long…

But it was good. I didn’t even see “it” coming! It just could have been a tad condensed to pick up the speed…
It was clean.

Compelling

The story line was unique and not predictable. The characters were well developed. The reader was excellent.
