About this listen
How far would you go to protect your family?
Amy has only ever known life in the Clearing. She knows what's expected of her. She knows what to do to please her elders, and how to make sure the community remains happy and calm. That is, until a new young girl joins the group. She isn't fitting in; she doesn't want to stay. What happens next will turn life as Amy knows it on its head.
Freya has gone to great lengths to feel like a 'normal person'. In fact, if you saw her go about her day with her young son, you'd think she was an everyday mum. That is, until a young girl goes missing and someone from her past, someone she hasn't seen for a very long time, arrives in town.
As secrets of the past bubble up to the surface, this small town's dark underbelly will be exposed and lives will be destroyed.

Gripping and excellent
This is a disturbing book, quite unique in the way it flows between life within, and life outside, a very eerie cult. It's very well written and Norvill's narration is near perfect.
I feel that many of the things that I'd like to say about the book are spoilers. Suffice to say, listen to it if you are interested in the ripple effect of dire childhood experiences and charismatic leaders, and you enjoy a book full of nuanced suspense.

Wow!
Omg! That was fantastic! All the twists. I was absolutely riveted! I didn’t realised it had some basis in truth. That was a pretty cool rabbit hole to go down lol. I had no idea Australia had their own cult who kidnapped children! How creepy!

Couldn’t Pick It
Wow. I thought I knew what was going to happen but nope, kept me guessing and intrigued the whole time.
Great characters, although I do have to admit I couldn’t picture the clearing properly because I kept picturing Lake Eildon where it is believed “the family” lived.
Thoroughly enjoyed.

Silently around you
Read so well! This story grips you from the beginning. Whilst fictional it makes you wonder what could be going on around you, silently. Great listen!

A couple of good twists
I find J.P.Pomare’s works really hard to “put down” and this was the same! Had to sit in the car to finish it!!

Twists and turns
I think Pomare is a great author. He creates beautifully detailed characters and stories with grit and surprises. The narrator is terrific too. 5 stars!

“You can never escape a cult”
Oh my gosh, what a ride! JP Pomare never disappoints! So many twists and turns. Just when you think you have it figured out, you realise you’ve gotten it all wrong! Again! Lol. Right up to the end.. So good! This story seems scarily possible, which is what makes it so good, I guess..

Wow!
What a gripping, twisting story! Disturbing and challenging. Will there be a sequel? I certainly hope so. If not I'm looking forward to your next book JP Pomare!
