Kelsey Navarro did a truly excellent work with the narration, Calling Back the Dead isin the series by J, R. Erickson and is the story of Corrie and her husband, Sammy, who rented an old mansion with a scary history, along with theiryr old daughter, Isis, for the winter.
The mansion has been refurbished, yet is still very creepy and weird, The house is said to be haunted by the spirit for ayear old girl, who killed her familyyears ago, This child was named, Ethel, and was sent to a nearby asylum all those years ago, to teach her a lesson because her mother couldn't deal with her.
It did not go well, The asylum was used by evil doctors who experimented on their patients,

Unfortunately, things start to go a little weird as Corrie starts acting different, wakes in strange places, has dreams and loses hours where she cannot remember what happened.
Things are moved, noises and a child singing rhymes are heard, mostly by Corrie at first,
Sarah and Sammy have conversations about just how Corrie is behaving, and how maybe they need to get her out of the house you think They plan to do that, after the Halloween party, which of course, is a big mistake.

This story is scarier than the first book in the Series!

As the police track down and question all those who attended the party, their focus is on Corrie but they lack physical evidence, much of it unwittingly destroyed by Sara, Sammys twin sister, the morning after his murder.

The closer the story got to the truth, the tighter the suspense!

The story kept me on edge right up to the ending and left me there! What just happened
Wellwritten with good narration, I definitely recommend Calling Back the Dead.
