About this listen

How long does it take for captivity to feel like home?

Tory knew Carl was odd—the meticulous clothes, the creepy smile, the strange coffee orders—but she never imagined how dangerous he truly was until she woke up trapped in an exact replica of The Daily Grind—her own workplace, methodically recreated by the man she always thought of as harmless, if a little strange. Her job hasn't changed: serve Carl coffee, day after horrifying day, following his rigid routine. But this time, any mistake could cost her her life.

As days pass, she sees other abductees in Carl’s carefully crafted world who've already lost the fight, conditioned to accept their captivity without question. Tory isn’t going to be like the others, though. She can’t let Carl break her—but if she can't escape soon, she risks losing herself to his chilling vision of the perfect life.

With each passing moment, escape seems less likely, and compliance seems easier. But giving in means losing herself forever…

Discover why listeners can’t stop talking about Amanda Russo’s chilling psychological thriller—an addictive and unforgettable ride into the dark depths of human psychology.

his audiobook had me tense, stressed, and emotionally invested in under eight hours—efficient trauma.

Narrated in duet by Raven Wildewood and Michael Gallagher, the performances perfectly balance restraint and intensity. Their voices don’t just tell the story—they heighten the atmosphere, amplify power shifts, and make every quiet moment feel dangerous.

Rotating POVs add urgency and frustration in the best way, letting you experience the mystery from both inside and outside captivity. The characters feel real, full of hopes, fears, and fight, making every twist hit hard. I wanted a little more depth and an extra layer of twist, but it’s still a fast, gripping, immersive listen.

Tense, Gripping, and Immersive Duet
