About this audiobook
Stay up all night with this modern day Rebecca! Perfect for fans of Truly Devious--a haunting story about a new girl in an old town filled with dark secrets . . . that might just kill her.
People say the house is cursed.
It preys on the weakest, and young women are its favorite victims.
In Louth, they're called the Dead Girls.
All Bram wanted was to disappear--from her old life, her family's past, and from the scandal that continues to haunt her. The only place left to go is Louth, the tiny town on the Hudson River where her uncle, James, has been renovating an old mansion.
But James is haunted by his own ghosts. Months earlier, his beloved wife died in a fire that people say was set by her daughter. The tragedy left James a shell of the man Bram knew--and destroyed half the house he'd so lovingly restored.
The manor is creepy, and so are the locals. The people of Louth don't want outsiders like Bram in their town, and with each passing day she's discovering that the rumors they spread are just as disturbing as the secrets they hide. Most frightening of all are the legends they tell about the Dead Girls. Girls whose lives were cut short in the very house Bram now calls home.
The terrifying reality is that the Dead Girls may have never left the manor. And if Bram looks too hard into the town's haunted past, she might not either.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Bram has run away from her life in Manhattan to the small town of Louth in Upstate New York where her Uncle James lives. The past few years of Bram's life have been tumultuous and her uncle is dealing with the death of his second wife in a fire that destroyed part of the mansion where he lives, so they hope that together they can find some peace. Since Bram's own life seems to be spiraling out of control, she decides involve herself in the lives of others by investigating what happened to Grace and her daughter Lark, the previous owners of her uncle's house. Many believe that the mansion is haunted by the ghosts of girls and women who have died there in the past, but Bram doesn't believe in ghosts, until the furniture starts moving around in her room while she is asleep, even though her door is locked.
Don't Tell a Soul provides an enjoyable reading experience. Throughout the story it is difficult to determine what is real and what isn't. Also many of the characters are ambiguous at best and it is never clear until the very end which ones are lying. Even the narrator, Bram, is suspect because of her past drug abuse and possible mental illness. The suspense never stops until the very end when it is finally clear who and what are to blame for the incidents in the story. Overall, Don't Tell a Soul is a very interesting scary YA mystery that doesn't let up until the last few pages of the book. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I really loved the main character, Bram, her skepticism and her determination. The solution to a major mystery of Bram's past was really, really heavily foreshadowed, to the point where I had it figured out very early, and where I thought BRAM had figured it out several times and that she was just biding her time, kind of. So it was a surprise to me that she didn't actually know until the pivotal moment! The other mysteries of the book were much more mysterious.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Don't Tell a Soul by Kirsten Miller is a book I requested from NetGalley and the review is voluntary. As I read this book I truly forgot I was reading and not actually experiencing this story! The author presented the world so complete that I felt, heard, and experienced everything that the main character was going through. Terrific job!
Wonderful, well developed characters and plenty of tension, plus unpredictable situations and possible outcomes kept me entranced!
Our gal is sent to live with her uncle after an incident at her home. Life with her mother didn't sound pleasant anyway. Her uncle's manor has a history of death, a curse, and hauntings. What our gal Bram eventually finds is even worse!
