About this listen
Harbor Springs, an idyllic resort town in northern Michigan, has always drawn visitors. However, hundreds of years before it was known for sailboats, cottages, and fudge, it was known for its hunting, fishing, and tribal conflict.
Kylie Branson thought she was getting a quiet day at the Good Hart Beach with her boyfriend, Jason, and dog, Cupcake, until a fawn ventures down to the water for a drink. When Cupcake takes off after the fawn, Kylie and Jason chase her to the ravine of Devil's Elbow, where they discover what appears to be human remains. Intrigued by the DNA results and the types of bones left behind, Kylie delves into the history of the area and soon uncovers a secret that has been kept for hundreds of years, discovered, and then hidden again. Could the Native American sign at the bend warning of an evil spirit be more than a legend? Could there be a deeper meaning behind the local ghost stories, reported sounds of a drum, voices after dark, and even apparitions? Follow Kylie as she learns about the history behind the treacherous curve in the Tunnel of Trees known as Devil's Elbow.

The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

There are some odd things about Nate’s new apartment. Of course, he has other things on his mind. He hates his job. He has no money in the bank. No girlfriend. No plans for the future. So while his new home isn’t perfect, it’s livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don’t nag at him too much. At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela’s apartment. And Tim’s. And Veek’s.

On November 22, 1963, three shots rang out in Dallas, President Kennedy died, and the world changed. What if you could change it back? In this brilliantly conceived tour de force, Stephen King - who has absorbed the social, political, and popular culture of his generation more imaginatively and thoroughly than any other writer - takes listeners on an incredible journey into the past and the possibility of altering it.

The story begins in 1962. On a rocky patch of the sun-drenched Italian coastline, a young innkeeper, chest-deep in daydreams, looks out over the incandescent waters of the Ligurian Sea and spies an apparition: a tall, thin woman, a vision in white, approaching him on a boat. She is an actress, he soon learns, an American starlet, and she is dying. And the story begins again today, half a world away, when an elderly Italian man shows up on a movie studio's back lot - searching for the mysterious woman he last saw at his hotel decades earlier.

Really wanted to like this book, but....
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Maybe to a younger group of people. Seems like it was written for teens.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Little Fawn. She seemed to be more believable to be a real person than the other characters.
What does Allyson Voller bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I think I would have rather read the book myself.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It was a so so story. No reaction to book.
Any additional comments?
The story would have been more exciting if there were no flashbacks. If the modern part of the story had been left out, it would have been a better story. The modern part of the story was very unbelievable, with the characters spending most of their time pinching their lips and doing things that had nothing to do with the story. The story also had way too many adjectives describing things and repeating them over and over. This is the first book I have read from this author, so I'm not sure what age it is geared toward. If this story was for teens, then I can highly recommend it. but for seasoned readers, not so much.

Great Read
What did you like best about this story?
I enjoy how the story flowed from past and present.
Any additional comments?
Being familiar with the Harbor Springs area, I was especially drawn into the story with the interesting historical and present day perspectives. I found myself caring deeply about the main characters and could not put the book down. I highly recommend this book!

Predictable romance
This book is basically two stories being told at the same time. An old Indian romance and a more contemporary romance. Although the book was very predictable a nonetheless enjoyed it. I was voluntarily provided this review copy by the author publisher or narrator

Past meets Present
Both the author and narrator were new to me. I loved how this book had multiple stories woven into one. The tragic love story based on Indian myth, the poem as a basis for legend, and the current love story. The author and narrator are extremely talented.

A tame mystery
Any additional comments?
A bit formulaic and predictable. I could see the potential of this book and just wish it was reached. The present characters were not very interesting. The best part of the book was the Little Fawn indian flashbacks. The flashbacks themselves were somewhat annoying since the present action just didn't flow already. This could have been better with a different narrator, possibly. . I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

FASCINATING, LOVED IT!!!
This was an intriguing, historical, legendary and beautifully written and narrated story. I really enjoyed it! I'm a fan of Indian legends & lore, and really thought it was well done. Great characters, great story, great narration. I would definitely recommend it to my family and friends, and anyone who would like to read a great story :) Well done!

Another great mystery!
Massive thank you to the author, who provided a free copy of the audiobook for me to listen to and review.
This was a fascinating tale despite a not-so-good narrator and a few odd writing choices, such as "an appalled look on her face" rather than just "appalled." What bothered me the most about the narrator was how stiffly she delivered the Native dialogue, as if she didn't quite know how to inflect it so she forewent all inflection. It made it sound awkward and forced and was distracting. She read the modern-day parts well, though.
One of the few criticisms I had aside from the narrator was that the scene in which the Native woman gets cornered by rapists was unnecessary to include. It was already mentioned and established a couple times before that--actually, it could be that the scene should have been positioned before it was mentioned casually in conversation, perhaps soon after Little Fawn has the thought that the victim wasn't in her dream. Probably still wasn't necessary to include another irrelevant POV, though. But it helped build the case against the other tribe... Hmm. Debatable.
I liked all the characters, past and present, though Dickinson could perhaps give Cupcake more of a personality beyond plot device. Lastly, while Tunnels felt like it could have been longer, the length of this one felt appropriate.

Loved it.
Would you listen to Devil's Elbow again? Why?
Absolutely! The story is exciting, sad and uplifting. I found the historical aspect to be quite fascinating particularly as the author spent a lot of time on research. She managed to mingle fact and fiction superbly. Native American history is so different from Irish and European history and I found that I simply couldn't stop listening when those parts of the story were being told.
This was just a brilliant read and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Devil's Elbow?
I can't describe these moments without spoilers. The most memorable were the sad or tragic parts but I my favourite scene was at the ending.
Which character – as performed by Allyson Voller – was your favorite?
I didn't have a favourite. They were all performed very well.
Any additional comments?
