When Dan gets a new job, his first move is to move his family into a new home. A cheap duplex. It’s the only place like it in town, but Dan doesn’t think much of it, figuring that they won’t be there long before they find a more permanent place to settle in. The neighbors are nice, but in the blink of an eye, something seems wrong. Then his family disappears.
Although the characters aren’t developed fully, the story is very creepy, and the plot moves along fast. It brings a full punch of chills within only three hours.
Narration was done well though there were a few distracting background/mouth noises.

Me pareció una novela entretenida pero al final también se me hizo algo predecible. Me hubiera gustado que se hablara más sobre el fantasma.

The beginning got me to think this would be the typical horror story in which a ghost coming out of some kind of recording. Nevertheless, the story surprised me many times throughout the book; even at the end.
The story has several twists and turns you were not expecting, so it keeps you hooked and makes it hard to stop listening.
The characters feel real and distinctive from each other.
However, there were two aspects I personally didn't like. The first one was the appearance of a supernatural solution to the las problem stated in the story. The second aspect was that there were a few key aspects left open, there being no closure or solution to them.
On the other side, there was not much difference among characters or emotions on the voice of the narrator.
It was certainly an entertaining and interesting read.
