    Neighborly: A Novel

    About this audiobook

    A not-to-be-missed novel of suspense about the secrets hidden in a young couple’s new neighborhood.

    Kat and Doug felt like Aurora Village was the perfect community. Minutes from the city, affluent without pretension, low crime with a friendly vibe—it’s everything Kat never had, and that she’s determined to provide for her infant daughter. Snagging a nice bungalow in this exclusive enclave was worth all the sacrifice. But everything changes overnight when Kat finds a scrawled note outside their front door.

    That wasn’t very neighborly of you.

    As increasingly sinister and frighteningly personal notes arrive, each one stabs deeper into the heart of Kat’s insecurities, paranoia, and most troubling, her past. When the neighbors who seemed so perfect reveal their open secret, the menace moves beyond mean notes. Someone’s raising the stakes.

    As suspicious as she is of every smiling face and as terrified as she’s become of being found out, Kat is still unprepared for the sharp turn that lies just ahead of her on Bayberry Lane.

    • 2/5
      Way too slow and not really that thrilling. The real plot doesn't start until chapter 22, and the book is 38 chapters long. Once it does finally start to go somewhere it wraps up quickly.
    • 3/5
      Interesting premise but a lot of random subplots were thrown in that prevented significant character development and made it hard to follow. Didn’t see some parts coming
    • 1/5
      I truly thought this book was awful. The energy was off, the openness was like a bad lead-in to a worse ending.
    • 5/5
      The story was captivating and the narrators did a great job! I would recommend a listen! ?
    • 3/5
      What in the word. Painfully slow and then rushed at the point where details matter. How can an entire book be written in the premise of insecurity and neuroticism?! I ultimately enjoyed the plot but felt the buildip was a word-count moment for the publisher.
    • 4/5
      It was a little slow, little cheesy in spots. It was enough to keep you intrigued!
    • 4/5
      It kept my attention. Nice pacing. The ending wasn’t terrible but I wasn’t a fan of how the loose ends were tied.
    • 5/5
      I loved all the twists and turns! I thought this may be going a different direction once the secret of the neighborhood had been revealed but was happy to see it didn’t. Great job. Narrator did a fabulous job!
    • 3/5
      Narrator was great.. story was meh. Kept my interest enough but the ending was just…. Whatever
