Brilliance Audio, 2007. From Booklist - English novelist Azzopardi portrays with extraordinary empathy characters whose grief and alienation overwhelm their sanity. In The Hiding Place (2001) and Remember Me (2004), she set her acutely sensitive characters within richly drawn social contexts. Here, in her most impressionistic novel, Azzopardi leaves the larger sphere out of focus, concentrating on the wounded psyches of two strangers. Lewis and Anna are on desperately improvised missions of healing as they unknowingly move toward each other on their way to Yarmouth's wind-roughened coast. Volatile Lewis is plagued by guilt and rage over his twin brother's death some 20 years ago. Easily undone Anna, an artist charming in her quirkiness, frets over her devil-may-care mother, and is lured out of her shell by the sea's moody beauty and the surreal sight of a wind farm. It was a gamble to isolate her brooding characters to emphasize their feelings of apartness, a limiting approach rectified by the mesmerizing novel's strong undercurrent of suspense. Azzopardi casts a blue spell brightened by flashes of humor and promises of love. Donna Seaman Copyright © American Library Association.

The threat that brought Zoe and Ethan together is finally over, ancient history, or so Zoe believes. Very few people know of her uncanny ability to sense the dark secrets hidden within the walls of a house, and she wants to keep it that way, even from Ethan. But someone is stalking Zoe - someone who knows all about her, and who shadows her every move. Is it the same person who is threatening her closest friend, Arcadia Ames, the only other person in Whispering Springs who knows the truth about Zoe? Or are Zoe and Arcadia getting tangled in a web spun by someone more dangerous than they could ever have imagined?

Hachette Audio, 2008. From Audiofile- When she's a child, lonely Jane knows she'd be lost without her friend, a man named Michael, whom no one else can see. So she's devastated when he leaves on her ninth birthday, promising her she'll forget him. But she doesn't, ever. When Jane is in her thirties, lonely as ever, they meet again. Ellen Archer gives a delicate shading to this story of unexpected love. She transitions from the childhood Jane to the adult Jane with a subtle change in tone while keeping Jane's essential speech patterns. Archer's portrayal of Jane's powerful mother is just as convincing as those of Jane and Michael. Throughout the book, Archer resists the story's pull toward sentimentality and keeps the performance both thoughtful and entertaining. R.L.L. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine . Box Great Shape.

He’s been trying to find Reena for years, and now that she is close enough to touch, he has no intention of letting go. Nor does the man who has begun to haunt Reena’s life - with taunting phone calls and a string of horrifying crimes.
