Treat yourself to this old timey horror madness
I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher. If you want to be taken for a ride on a suspenseful thriller, look no further. I love his character voices and the emotion he puts into the characters is palpable. As he does with all of his narration, Hannibal Hills continues to bring the story to life. The vision I had of him, especially when he was helping Tom relax, was like that of an ancient vampire, all skinny with long bony fingers and a smirk that will haunt your dreams. Would have called it quits and walked out.
When she goes for a walk around the room I was thinking I couldn’t do that. The room Berndard sets up for her coupled with the descriptions Tom gives kinda grossed me out. She definitely had the macabre factor and the few encounters with her had me completely creeped out. I really enjoyed listening to the words and thought they were strung together to put the perfect image in my head. The best part of the story was the writing. Even the sexual scenes, which most horror authors put graphic details in, were tame. I put this one down as an easy horror to listen to. I just wish the ending wasn’t so abrupt and that there was a little follow up. I liked how the plot unfolded and while I was really hoping for a bigger ending, I was happy with the final reveal. The overall plot wasn’t extremely original but the way it was told was. Fans of 80’s suspense horror that isn’t full of gore and touches on cults and provides some decent thrills. I pretty much pegged what the goal was early on, although the journey of getting there was not at all what I thought and was quite surprising.
I liked trying to figure out what was going on more so than actually finding it out. I thought it was a slow burn with a slight pop at the end but was an enjoyable story.
