Publisher's summary

A quiet little mountain town is hiding a big problem. When the townsfolk of Raven's Peak start acting crazy, Abigail Dressler is called upon to find out what is happening. She uncovers a demonic threat unlike any she's ever faced and finds herself in a fight just to stay alive.

She rescues Haatim Arison from a terrifying fate and discovers that he has a family legacy in the supernatural that he knows nothing about. Now she's forced to protect him, which is easy, and also trust him if she wants to save the townsfolk of Raven's Peak. Trust, however, is considerably more difficult for someone who grew up living on the knife's edge of danger. Can they discover the cause of the town's insanity and put a stop to it before it is too late?

Great Paranormal Series!

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

This was a great paranormal book. It was classified as horror, but I'm not sure I agreed with the classification. There was some horrificness (if that's even a word) but it felt more like a Jim Butcher (Harry Dresden series) or John G. Hartness book (Quincy Harker series). The story was great and the characters were interesting. I also thought the narrator did a great job. She didn't struggle with voicing male characters as I've experienced with other female narrators. She did what a good narrator is supposed to, she brought the characters to life. I'll definitely look for more in this series.

Raven's Peak

This is full of adventure and excitement.I enjoyed it.Abigail is a cop,of sorts.She is part of a team that takes care of things.Hateen is just a nobody caught up in a chase,or is he?The play off these two is really interesting,though at times too repetitive.Stephanie Dillard was a very good narrator.“I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.”

Rough Start but well worth sticking with.

The beginning of the story was a little confusing because it just drops into the middle of something we know nothing about. As the story progresses, the beginning gets explained and becomes much clearer. I know this technique is used quite often, but this story opening expects you to know something about where it is going.
Beyond this (about the first half hour or so), the story is really good. Well written from that point out and thoroughly enjoyable. The concept was interesting and the story progression was fast paced.
The Narrator was great. Struggled a little in the beginning, but I think that was more the story than the narrator, but after that, she did a fine job.

Thrilling

Lots of action in this one, plenty of fight scenes. Great story and characters. Great narrator, she did an amazing job of bringing the characters to life. Really enjoyed this and I highly recommend giving this one a listen. I received a free review copy of this audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.

Who doesn't like slaying evil?

Would you consider the audio edition of Raven's Peak to be better than the print version?

I have not read the printed version, but I always like the audio versions of books a little better.

What did you like best about this story?

I love stories about people who fight demons. The hate and depravity of such beings takes a lot of tenacity and grit.

Which scene was your favorite?

Ill try not to give anything away, but towards the end there is a scene that shows that physical weapons aren't the only things you can use to fight evil. That scene gave me goosebumps.

Who was the most memorable character of Raven's Peak and why?

Arthur, he had a mysterious past and unparalleled skill when it came to the destruction of demons. He also made the ultimate sacrafice for those he loved and now is in a mysterious hypo-hell that I'm looking forward to learning more about in later books.

Raven's Peak

Any additional comments?

This book had me hooked right away. I love Abigail's spunk. Hatrim (sp?) was a little annoying at times. Arthur must have been bada$s back in the day. I've never heard this narrator before. She did a fantastic job. I received this audiobook from Audiobook Boom for my unbiased review.

Excellent horror!

I finished this in 2 days, obviously its engaging. The main character is a bit of a wuss, but he played well off the other strong female lead. I had thought this was more of a horror murder mystery but it was pretty much a horror good vs evil demon in current days story. I loved it. I now must download the second in the series to see what happens next! The narrator was great and was easy to follow!

Good, creepy start

I enjoyed it a lot, it was just a shade gorier than I like. Interesting premise though, and I don't remember the last time I read a book with a black heroine. It was different, but in a good way. I liked Hakim more than Abigail I think, and I hope they get closer in the next book because they made a really good team in this one. Can't wait to see what happens next in the series!

Not for me

I had to start this book a few times. I had a hard time staying focused and as the plot moved along I became less and less interested. I don't think this was a bad book, but there wasn't anything that particularly stood out to me. I also wouldn't call this horror at all. To me it was more fantasy with a demonic presence.
The start of the story, after the forward, took off in a decent direction with potential. From there it started to turn weird and unbelievable. With all the books out there in this genre I just couldn’t find anything exceptional to make me want to continue on with the series. Even the ending was quite predictable. I hope I am in the minority on this.

Stephanie did a great job. I liked her difference voices and oddly really enjoyed her voice for Haatim.

Awesome supernatural story with a huge cliffhanger

I had a hard time getting into this book. I stopped and restarted 2-3 times but, I am so very glad I gave it another chance! After the first 20-30 minutes, it picked up and I couldn’t stop listening. I’m off to by the 2nd in the series because I have to know what happens next right now! That is really my only complaint, the cliffhanger. The narration is fabulous.
