I really enjoyed the audio rendition of this. The narrator was excellent and held my attention throughout. I loved the fact that it was alternately narrated by two sisters, one living and one deceased. This added a unique element and allowed the author to play around some with how the story was told. I found it to be highly successful. I enjoyed reading about the remote VT island setting, which held an abundance of secrets and was integral to the plot. The plot had a lot of intriguing and surprising twists and turns and the ending was satisfying and entertaining. I highly recommend the audio version of this to readers.

Wowza!!! I couldn’t stop listening to this book! I was hooked by the first chapter. Each chapter goes between sisters May & June and the mystery of their fathers disappearance. So many twists and turns. There are two narrators and they do an amazing job. This is my first book by this author but it most certainly will not be my last!

Woohoo! I devoured to the 4.5 hours audiobook today (read at 2x speed). I love a good mystery that keeps me on my toes. And this one certainly did.

Thanks to Jessica Hamilton’s characters—April, May and June—I dove into the past, including an affair gone wrong, two missing men and tons of family secrets. We soon come to find out that some people know all the secrets—but who? And what *really* happened all those summers ago?

The book’s narrators, Sarah Mollo-Christensen and Laura Jennings, do a fantastic job of telling this story through the eyes of sisters, May and June. (Mollo-Christensen and Jennings also do great male voices—so good I forget I was listening to women)!

May, newly deceased due to a freak accident, talks to us as she watches June go through the grieving process. Meanwhile, June tells her side of things as she navigates a trip back to her family’s summer cottage on an island she just inherited.

Once she gets to Avril island (who locals say is haunted), a fun romance blooms. June proceeds to drink a shit-ton of beverages to cope with all that she’s dealing with. And she goes into investigative mode to find out what she never knew. Especially why all of a sudden her mother stops returning.

I highly recommend this audiobook. It’s an easy listen and fast-paced. And one that you can listen to during your chores, your hike, your long drive or while doing errands.

I’m grateful to Dreamscape Media for an advance listener copy, via the NetGalley app. This is my honest review.

What You Never Knew by Jessica Hamilton was really beautifully written but I felt like I knew nothing about the sisters, even a good bit into the book and had trouble understanding either one of their points of view. I was excited about the premise of this book but it just fell flat for me.
The narrators were really wonderful, and that’s honesty the reason I finished the book.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book.

I loved that this was told in alternating points of view. The plot was outstanding and the characters were well-developed. It definitely kept me intrigued.

I really don't listen to audiobooks often, but I really liked the narrator in this one. She kept the story interesting. Sometimes my mind will drift but in this novel it did not. I highly recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys a good thriller with a lot of twists.

Many thanks, to NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for my ARC audiobook. All opinions are my own.

June Bennett returns to the family cottage on Averil Island to mourn the passing of her mother and sister. Having been told the island had been sold years before, the knowledge that June can return to the place where she spent some of the best summers of her life seems like a good way to ease her grief. But the return to the cottage awakens long forgotten memories of the night her father disappeared and reveals some very dark secrets about her mother. I liked the premise of this book, Hamilton does a fantastic job evoking memories of the main character’s childhood. Sadly, the more I learned about June, the less I liked her and I had a hard time sympathizing with her. The narration is solid, if a little nasally delivered

This book was great! I loved the thrilling mystery part this book had.
This audio had some really creepy and eerie moments! I loved the writing style to this book!
I did feel this to be a slow burn. Good narrator I really enjoyed!
