Our reader is introduce to three protagonist spanning 3 different times in history at the same location, Havencross. Ismay in 1460, Diana in 1918, & Juliet in 2018. Diana & Juliet both start to experience ghostly interactions; thus starting their own investigation into the estates’ history. Readers are taken on romantic & paranormal adventures between all the characters while uncovering these main protagonists connections with one another over the course of history.

Highlights:
⭐️Different characters intersecting POV chapters from different time periods while readers are uncovering these protagonists connections across history
⭐️Plot twists! All plot twists unfolded nicely & kept me on my toes. I honestly was not expecting how the story unfolded.
⭐️All protagonists had challenges to overcome & readers got to experience characters’ trials/errors. There was not significant dynamic character growth for each individual protagonist but the small growth or trials that had to be overcome, connected to the plot very well & satistied me as a reader.
⭐️Overall plot & the protagonist personalities/traits = amazing! I was very engaged in uncovering the secrets of Havencross & was excited to continue to listen to this book.
⭐️Narrator was emotional while reading the plot & did a great job of relaying a dynamic story.

Pitfalls:
❌None!

Thank you NetGalley & HighBridge Audio for a free early release copy of this audiobook for my honest review & feedback.

Who doesn't love a good ghost story??? I liked this one a lot. Multiple timelines and multiple POV'S come together to tell a really good story!

Many thanks to Net Galley and HighBridge Audio for an audio ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I decided to try something out of my usual genres and The Forgotten Boy by Laura Andersen was a great choice! The multiple povs and timelines created an intricate story that unravelled at a steady pace. The characters were all so interesting and unique. The romance was sweet and heart warming. It was a nice contrast to a story about a haunted house and its previous inhabitants. I would have the haunting to be a little scarier but I'm still really enjoyed this. And I really enjoyed the narrator's voice. She was perfect for this role.

Thank you to HighBridge Audio and Netgalley for this alc in exchange for an honest review.
