The House's Daughter

House of Prey

By: April Boulware

Narrated by: Amanda Friday

She lived the life they gave her. Then she found the one they took.

A hidden room. A ghost in the mirror. A girl unraveling everything she was raised to forget.

Emily was raised to obey. To pray. To forget.

For as long as she can remember, her family has been her whole world. Her safe place. Her calling. But when late-night noises lead her to a hidden room inside her bedroom wall, Emily begins to see things she can't explain. A destroyed teddy bear. A scrap of pink fabric. A girl in the mirror who isn't her.

As buried memories rise from the cracks, so do questions—about her past, her identity, and what really happened to the girl who came before her. The more Emily remembers, the more dangerous it becomes to stay.

But she's not alone. A quiet man who doesn't follow the rules she was raised to obey. A friend who helps her find the courage to ask forbidden questions. Together, they become her lifeline through the dark.

Because the house isn't just haunted by a ghost. It's haunted by everything she was made to forget.

Want to listen again!

I can’t wait for the rest of it! I hope it comes out soon. Yay!

Great writing

Excellent storyline! Can’t wait for the next part. I am so glad to hear that you found your voice. I met you once when I worked in SC briefly. You were engaged to Chris at the time and had come by the Dairy back in 2014/15. I was there doing herd check or sick cow work. Such a small world. I am glad to be able to support a fellow woman breaking free from religious and masculine oppression.

Well written Story

I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook. I really related to Emily’s character as I grew up in a fundamentalist household and was homeschooled. I have deconstructed but maintain faith in God. I related a lot to her character. The book was really well written and kept me very much engaged. I was driving home in the evenings and it was a little bit tired and helped to keep me awake. I am looking forward to part two!

Kept me on my toes!

I really enjoyed this, this was the perfect balance for me of my interest in cults/extreme beliefs and the paranormal. So eager for the next one!

Really Enjoyed!

I REALLY ENJOYED! I feel like it is well written, great mystery, and it was my first paranormal book. I did not want to stop listening. When I realized it was the end and now on a cliff hanger I screamed, Noooo! To sum up, I really, really enjoyed the book and can't wait until the next one is released. I already have it on my wish list!
