Great Follow-Up to Adam's Cross

E.M.G. Wixley provides an excellent follow-up to Adam's Cross. The author continues to provide many twists and turns as well as plot changes that keep you on the edge of your seat. As in book 1, Adam's Cross, the characters are very well written and developed. E.M.G. Wixley keeps the horror coming and manages to create an excellent story line.

Nigel Peever did an great job with his performance of this book. I love his British Accent which made it that much more enjoyable for me. He performs each character brilliantly and provides great tone, pace, inflection and emotion that keep you engaged throughout the entire book.

Wickedly Weird!

In this book the reader/listener meets Kane an ex-military man. He meets a young lady Poppy whom he helps. She reminds him of his sister who disappeared. He and Poppy grow close. Kane suffers from delusions and occasionally gets violent. Poppy sticks with him and they are an interesting couple between his PTSD and her own secrets. Neither one of them is really fit to work and face society.
Like the first book in the series there’s plenty of material to twist the mind and the plot takes many turns. Strange happenings and action are woven into the story taking this volume to the next level. I listened to book 1 first but the way this book is written it’s not necessary to read it first, although, I advise it because Adam’s story is revealed and he’s important in book 2 as well. This story is for readers/listeners who enjoy horror and can stomach gory scenes. It’s difficult to find an author who can balance gore and great story. E.M.G Wixley is a pro at it.
Nigel Peever narrates this volume. It took me some time to get used to his voice, mostly because of the British accent. Accents always take me awhile and I prefer listening without them. That said I enjoyed the sounds effects he adds to intensify the story and his pacing is excellent. It’s not often a narrator adds all the extras he did. Well done!

A riveting descent into darkness

E.M.G. Wixley's "Kane's Cross: Witchfinder, Book 2," brought to life by the masterful narration of Nigel Peever, is a haunting tale that plunges listeners into a world where psychological trauma and supernatural elements intertwine. This audiobook proves to be an exceptional follow-up to its predecessor, "Adam's Cross," offering a gripping narrative that stands on its own while building upon the intricate web of horror and mystery woven in the series.

At the heart of this chilling story is Kane, a battle-worn soldier grappling with the torment of post-traumatic stress disorder. His harrowing experiences in the military have left him a shell of his former self, scarred both physically and emotionally. However, the darkness that envelopes Kane's life extends beyond his PTSD, as he hails from a profoundly dysfunctional family.

Kane's parents' turbulent divorce serves as a testament to the turmoil that has plagued his life since childhood. The mysterious disappearance of his sister casts a long, sinister shadow over his family, leaving unanswered questions that fester like an open wound. To make matters even more unsettling, Kane's mirror twin half-brothers exhibit deeply disturbing behaviors, further shrouding the family's history in mystery.

As the audiobook opens, we find Kane in the throes of despair, seeking solace in the numbing embrace of alcohol. It is amidst this haze of self-destructive behavior that he crosses paths with an enigmatic young woman named Poppy. In her own enigmatic way, Poppy implores Kane for help, a request that sets in motion a transformative journey neither of them could have anticipated.

Under Poppy's beguiling influence, Kane's life takes a profound and unsettling turn. Soon, everything he thought he knew about reality is called into question, and he is thrust into a world of dark secrets and supernatural forces. The connection between Poppy and Kane deepens as they navigate their own demons, each harboring secrets that threaten to unravel their fragile bond.

One of the most striking aspects of "Kane's Cross: Witchfinder, Book 2" is the unflinching portrayal of Kane's inner turmoil. His PTSD manifests as delusions and occasional bouts of violence, presenting a raw and unfiltered view of the struggles faced by individuals grappling with this affliction. Kane's journey towards redemption and self-discovery, alongside Poppy, is a mesmerizing exploration of human resilience amidst chaos.

Nigel Peever's narration is nothing short of exceptional, adding a layer of depth and immersion to the story. His voice encapsulates the tone of the horror perfectly, drawing listeners deeper into the dark and eerie atmosphere of the narrative. Peever's skillful delivery enhances the tension and suspense, making every moment come alive with chilling authenticity. His ability to convey the intricacies of Kane's emotional turmoil and Poppy's mysterious allure adds a captivating dimension to the audiobook.

Peever's narration shines particularly in the portrayal of the audiobook's supernatural elements. As the story weaves witchcraft, PTSD, flint spearheads, and a mysterious doll into its narrative tapestry, Peever's voice modulates seamlessly to match the evolving tone and ambiance. His performance breathes life into the otherworldly aspects of the story, making them all the more haunting and vivid.

What sets "Kane's Cross: Witchfinder, Book 2" apart is its narrative structure. The story employs a series of time jumps and flashbacks, skillfully interwoven to provide glimpses into the characters' pasts and the hidden truths that haunt them. This narrative technique adds layers of intrigue and complexity to the plot, keeping listeners engaged as they unravel the mysteries of Kane's family and the enigmatic forces at play.

Building on the foundation laid in "Adam's Cross," this second installment in the series takes the horror to the next level. Strange happenings and unexpected twists abound, ensuring that the listener is kept on the edge of their seat throughout the audiobook's duration. Wixley masterfully blends psychological horror with supernatural elements, creating an atmosphere that is as unsettling as it is captivating.

For those who revel in horror and can stomach gory scenes, "Kane's Cross: Witchfinder, Book 2" delivers an immersive and spine-tingling experience. It invites listeners into a world where the boundaries between reality and the supernatural blur, where nightmares become all too real, and where the past casts a long and ominous shadow over the present.

In conclusion, "Kane's Cross: Witchfinder, Book 2" is a tour de force of horror storytelling that stands as a testament to E.M.G. Wixley's talent for crafting dark and atmospheric narratives. Nigel Peever's narration elevates the audiobook to new heights, perfectly capturing the chilling tone and enigmatic allure of the story. With its intricate plot, well-developed characters, and relentless suspense, this audiobook is a must-listen for fans of the genre and a compelling standalone addition to the series. Be prepared to embark on a journey into the abyss of fear and fascination, where the line between reality and nightmare blurs, and where the true horrors lie within the human psyche.

An Interesting Story

I find the book very interesting to listen to. The author ( E.M.G. Wixley) tried to depict the main character with PTSD, whose life experience a lesson to learn. It is an invitation for us to understand people with PTSD accept them and of course help them. Other characters and scenes in the story are well pictured and very descriptive.
Nigel Peever narrated the book very skillfully. There are emphasis or highlights on various emotional reactions toward people and situations.
This audiobook has been provided complimentary in exchange for an honest/unbiased review. Thank you.

nice

I have been going through my books, and found that some that I had listened to I hadnt posted a review, these ones wont be as detailed as ones I have listened to recently but I wanted to be sure they still got the marks I would have given them, had I thought about them at the time.

As the second book in the series, it was very nicely written the book was a good listen and I very much enjoyed it.

Good Book!

The story was entertaining and had alot of twists and turns, i failed to listen to the first book in the series first, but this story worked well as a standalone novel, and i will be listening to the next book in the series. The narration in the first half of the book was too fast and hard to understand at points hence the 4 star review, it did however even out and become much better as it progressed. The way the story is told builds alot of suspense. Definitely worth a listen!
