Solid thriller with lots of unexpected things happening. I also really enjoyed that it was set in Canada with the RCMP. It was dark and twisty and different from the usual thriller plots. It had that little supernatural & horror genre mixed in and it worked really well. I hope to read more by Angela Douglas.

The narration was well done and easy to follow.

4⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️



✨ dual povs, slowburn , police investigation vibe..


✨ I think it’s better to hear this on audio so you can actually feel and hear the police stress on each of every line. Realistically showing the corrupt side of the police team. Quite slow burn to start with but pack of stories and lies .


✨ the story is highly recommended but not for me.


✨ Thankyou for the opportunity to read this arc for a honest review.

Thank you NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for the ARC of this audiobook for my honest review

An amazing thriller. I couldn’t put it down. It felt like such a real horror in their lives and it could happen to anyone with some added mystery. And was so well tied up at the end. I’d definitely reread this even though it made me so sad most of the way through with all the bad stuff going on but that’s just what a thriller does !

I really really enjoyed this title.
I always enjoy a good thriller!
This author has written a top notch story with twists and turns that you do not see coming.
If you are after a thriller that leaves you on the edge of your seat then this story is for you!
Thanks for the chance to read and review this title. I really enjoyed it.
5/5 stars

This book is a mix of thriller, paranormal, and police procedural that I haven't come across before. I thought the characters were excellent and realistic in the situations that they were going through and the ghost story added a fun twist as well. I appreciated how empathetic Douglas was toward characters that were clearly struggling with mental health issues and even included a piece in the back to address those issues and how to get help. Great book, great story, great narration.

Thank you to NetGalley, the author Angela Douglas, and Dreamscape Media for my advance copy of this audiobook.

Didn’t finish at 35%
3 stars because the writing and storyline is just fine, it’s just extremely boring subject matter to me. I’ve been waiting for something to draw me in and nothing has. I like the audiobook narrators for the roles that they have, but I just needed more content to make it through.

Thank you to the author, NetGalley, and Dreamscape Media for this advanced copy in exchange for an honest review. I sincerely appreciate it!

This is, in a word, fine. Every fall is simply unremarkable, though it follows many typical plot points, twists and storylines as some well crafted thriller novels. One of my largest complaints is the lack of depth in the characters and the unwarned inclusion of paranormal themes which don't seem to mesh well with what appears to be the planned course of the story.

Somehow the author tries to write horror, detective, thriller and paranormal tropes all at once which leaves much of the story flat.

The narrators did a great job with what they were given.

If you like Karin Slaughter then I think you will love this book. I was on the edge of my seat from beginning to the end of this book. It's a very dark and gritty plot, but that just adds to the story.

3.5 Stars

This book was an awesome combo of domestic drama/thriller and police procedural all rolled into one. I don't usually gravitate toward police investigative type books but with the lure of the domestic drama/thriller piece - I was sucked in. I absolutely loved the narration and the dual POVs too. There was never a dull moment and all of the solid elements - plot, story, suspense, narration, drama put together made this a quick listen.

If you're looking for a book that will draw you in from the start and keep you guessing, this is it!

This book was pretty dark in exploring mental health, trauma, toxic police culture and also had some seemingly paranormal twists.

This town of East Bernheim is the Canadian equivalent of the town Black Harbor in the series by Hannah Morrissey. It feels like every criminal and every bad thing happens in the town.

Jake Stone is a constable with the RCMP and when he’s involved in a case with a gang, his work starts following him home and putting his wife Bree and his son in danger. They decide to move further away but there’s some stories about the house they rented and weird things start happening. Between work and a small child, both Bree and Jake aren’t getting enough sleep so you keep wondering if it’s all in their heads, if it’s paranormal or if a gang member is trying to break in.

There are a lot of triggers in this book & would urge you to seek them out if needed before reading.

I really enjoyed the audiobook version & the 2 narrators. It kept the change in perspectives really clear.

Thank you to Netgalley, the author and Dreamscape media for the ALC.

I really enjoyed this fast-paced thriller. I listened to the audio book, and the narration is excellent! This is a thriller, but I would also say it has family drama, police procedure, and a ghost story. Parts of it are pretty creepy. I highly recommend this one - especially the audio version.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you Netgalley for this audio edition of Every Fall by Angela Douglas.

I guess I can see what the author was trying to do with this one, showing the dark side of police families. I just don't know about the execution, it was weak to me, and devolved way too quickly. I just wasn't a fan, it was hard to really get invested.

This was a dark domestic thriller that tackles heavy issues from postpartum depression, infidelity, trauma and more. While it was a bit too much for me personally, I'm sure it will appeal to fans of police procedurals and authors like Karin Slaughter. The insights into the negative side of criminal protection culture was interesting and it was good on audio. My first by Angela Douglas and a solidly written story. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early audio copy in exchange for my honest review.

Bree and Jake Stone live in a rough area due to Jake’s job requirements as a RCMP. They have a young son, Riley, and are expecting a second child as well. Life is tough for Jake as a police officer. Career criminal brothers, the Skaggs, know where Jake lives and have seen him out with his wife and child. When they show up at the family’s condo, it’s too much for Bree. Bree and Jake hatch a plan to rent out the condo and move to a much quieter, safer neighborhood. But things in the new neighborhood start to go awry as well. There are stories of ghosts and strange happenings at the house shared by neighbors.

There is a lot going on in terms of plot in this book. It was fast paced action all the way through. To avoid spoiling the book I won’t go into detail. Many big topics are covered or touched on, such as postpartum depression, PTSD, death, and marriage. Some parts were a bit unrealistic, but overall it was a good snapshot of this couple’s life.

There was a murder, but not really a mystery. There was suspense, but not a lot of juicy twists and turns. This typically would have disappointed me but the story drew me in. However, I couldn’t really connect with the characters, and they didn’t seem to really develop as the novel progressed. The ghost element was something out of my wheelhouse and wasn’t really a main focus, although it was brought up from time to time. I thought there was an opportunity to further develop that aspect of the plot. Instead it just seemed like it was just background noise, even if it was essential to the plot.

I listened to the audiobook. There were two narrators and three perspectives covered. I thought both of the narrators brought their A game. They each gave personality to the characters, and didn’t annoy me, which is my common complaint. I went into it thinking it was a murder mystery so I was slightly disappointed to realize it wasn’t, but there were elements of the plot that kept my interest. I liked that to book opened with a quote from Confucius that seemingly inspired the title. That was unexpected. Although this audiobook was unrealistic at points, it was a decent listen overall.

This is a thriller/suspense/psychological novel that deals with post partum depression, first responder PTSD, the toll of this on a marriage, etc It keeps you hanging for what's next. Keeps you trying to figure it out, and throws surprises along the way. I listened to it on a road trip and it definitely kept me awake!

Well done.

Thanks to NetGalley

Police procedural, a haunting, and a psychological thriller all in one....sign me up! My heart was racing through most of this ALC trying to figure out what was going on-was it a real haunting, was it postpartum psychosis, was it all of it put together? I truly couldn't put it down. I liked the character development. I could feel everything that Bree was going through in her struggles as a new mom in a new town with a distant husband. Jake frustrated me at times with his guilt and taking it all out on Bree and the baby. I can see why a lot of people didn't like him. The narrators did a great job relaying the fear and emotions needed to make this a great listen. Thank you Netgalley and Dreamscape media for the opportunity to listen to this ALC. All opinions are my own.

I appreciate NetGalley and Dreamscape Media allowing me to review the ALC of this book. I really liked the choice of narrators but I didn’t care for the book as much as I’d hoped. The main male character just made me angry and the ending was not quite what I had hoped. It seems to be a rush to wrap up in the last hour of it. I also felt the story would’ve been the same without the little ghost aspects - it felt odd to have them in there by the end, even with their help. I think more background and interaction may have been beneficial in this case. It’s not a book that I WOULDN’T ever recommend, but wouldn’t be the top of my list.

Initially, I found it difficult to get into due to the dual first-person POV and the writing style. However, once I adjusted, I was fully immersed in the story. The book took unexpectedly dark and graphic turns, which added to the intensity and suspense.

The characters were well-developed, particularly Bree, whose struggles as a stay-at-home mom were portrayed with depth and authenticity. Her emotions, isolation, and fears felt incredibly real, and I found myself empathizing with her situation. Her husband Jake’s job introduced an unsettling dynamic to their marriage, and the way the story explored the impact of his work on their family was heartbreaking and frustrating in equal measure.

Every Fall by Angela Douglas was a solid listen, but not without its flaws. ⭐⭐⭐.75 George Newbern's narration was excellent, as always, and the story itself was definitely interesting. However, there was something about the plot or the characters that didn't quite resonate with me. It just lacked that extra something to make it truly gripping and memorable.

I enjoyed this story, the characters were good. I was worried they were going to split up but was glad they didn't. Also wasn't sure where we were going with the haunted house aspect.
