Diavola

By: Jennifer Thorne
Narrated by: Andi Arndt
Length: 10 hours 9 minutes

“Diavola was hands down one of my favorite reads as of 2024. An eerily fantastic horror with the cunning mixture of toxic family vacation and the haunted house, and honestly, I am not sure which was more terrorizing. The pacing was perfect, it had a slow build that made it all the more gripping. & that ending! Absolute perfection. Read more

“For fans of Crimson Peak and The Haunting of Hill House - this spooky tale had me in a VICE GRIP. I was listening in every spare moment I had.
