The Girl in the Basement

By: Ray Garton

Narrated by: Jarod Reizian Frank

Fifteen-year-old Ryan Kettering has spent his young life in a series of mostly abusive foster homes. But his luck has changed. Now he’s in the Preston house, where he has a budding romance with fellow fosterchild Lyssa. But something strange is going on in the basement.

Maddy is a slow nine-year-old girl who is kept in the basement. Sometimes she talks in a gravelly adult voice. Sometimes she seems to know things about others that she couldn’t possibly know...and predicts things that always come true. And sometimes people from the government come by to spend time with Maddy down in the basement.

Maybe Ryan’s luck hasn’t changed as much as he thinks.

Scared for hours

I was so terrified that Maddie was going to control all the kids with her words I stayed tuned for every chapter.

Don't waste a credit!

What a let down. I don't know if the author intended for this to be the beginning of a series but it sure seems so. It felt very incomplete at the end. The overall story is okay and narration is good.

such a great book!

I loved it finished it in 2 days! a definite must listen/read! will be watching foe more from this writer.

the reader is very bad

the reader has a very annoying voice I could not get past the first chapter.
the book is ok itself though.

I love it

I listened to this story while working and damn did I not see any of it coming. This is well worth a listen.
