Publisher's summary

"My name is Mike Ross and I'm a Ferryman - like in the Greek myth. I didn't ask for, or really want, the job, but I'm trying to make the best of it. Most ghosts are okay and just need a little help to get where they need to go. Unfortunately, there are lots of exceptions, like power-mad psychopaths, spirits still trying to fight battles long since lost, and the worst of the lot - the Skinwalkers. They live vicariously by possessing people and controlling them like puppet masters. Then they toss them aside when they've outlived their usefulness. One of them stole my father 15 years ago, and now I'm going to make that ghost pay."

UNDERAPPRECIATED Masterpiece!!!

Second book is as good as the first,
and from this moment on
Jim Bernheimer is in my top 10 Favorite Authors
and Jeffrey Kafer performed an outstanding narration.

PS
I was upset to find out that there is no 3rd book as of yet,
but according to the author he has plans
for at least 1 probably 2-3 more books in a dead eye series.

Let's hope they will be available soon.

I really like this series

I really have fun with this series. I listen to a lot of books and always have that moment when I start up a book in a series where I wonder if I'll know what's happening, but he does a concise recap without boring you or overloading you. Mike is doing well, growing, learning, hismcharacter is progressing nicely. Making good choices, with a few bad ones here and there, but he's human. So it stays entertaining and fun.

But, there is this one thing that needs to be discussed. He (author) employs famous dead people throughout both books. The first one was Edgear Alan Poe and a few war generals, I won't spoil whose in this one, but there's some good ones. I have a love/hate relationship with famous dead people having active roles. He does seem to pull it off though. I initially cringed, but they all worked well. At least it wasn't jack the ripper, I hate when when he shows up. I look forward to another book!

Quirky, Funny: Worth it!!

I've just converted to the Jim Bernheimer religion!! the book is funny, fast-paced and a breath of fresh air.
I took a gamble some months back and decided to read "confessions of a d-list supervillain" (Another book by Jim Bernheimer) and was amzazed at how much i liked it. i decided to read another one - although i purchased 'pennies for the ferryman', i still havent read it (in fact, i forgot it was in my library until a few minutes ago when i tried to purchase it!!)
i ended up getting the 'skinwalker conspiracies' some days ago, because of the reviews i read about it. all i can say is "a big fat thank you" to those who reviewed it, seeing as it was defintely worth the sleepless night and the loud (crazy woman) sudden bursts of laughter at the office today!
I certainly can't way to acquaint myself with the first book!!

any ideas when book 3 might be coming out? I'll take a day off work, just so i can read it!!

As Good as the First.

This is the second book in the Dead Eye series. I found this to be as enjoyable
as the first book. Mike takes the show on the road meeting more historical figures
and of course finding himself in more trouble along the way. Mike finds that
his abilities are expanding and with those expanding abilities comes tougher
opposition. This is one of those series I was reluctant to try at first but it has
great narration done by Jeffrey Kafer and Jim Bernheimer has me hooked. I
will defiantly be buying the third book whenever it comes out.

Just as good as the first book...

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yeah I would, if you liked the first book you'll like the second book too...

What was one of the most memorable moments of Dead Eye: The Skinwalker Conspiracies?

When mike's spirit was put in a dogs body, it was kinda interesting that he still alive and that he can leave his own physical body and spirit jump.

Which scene was your favorite?

When he met and fought Lee Harvey Oswald.

Any additional comments?

I would recommend this book to people who are into supernatural books and i just wanna know when are we getting book three so we know what's gonna happen to Mike Ross and his group of spirits.

Dependable fantasy/mystery series

What did you like best about this story?

I am a sucker for this genre that blends mystery or crime in parallel universe of ghosts or wizards etc. ala Dresden files, The Iron Druid or even Monster hunters international. A common thread here is wisecracking long suffering hero's.

Have you listened to any of Jeffrey Kafer’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I very much enjoyed this reading

Any additional comments?

Although not really a distraction, this book reads as if each chapter was written like a monthly installment in a mystery magazine or web series, although I have no personal knowledge of this. On several occasions we are reminded of an incident that needed no reiteration unless the listener had been away from the story for an extended period of time.

Nice to spend more time with Mike Ross....

The supernatural mystery and adventure continues. I'll be looking out for more work by Jim Bernheimer.

Entertainment steady.

Would you listen to Dead Eye: The Skinwalker Conspiracies again? Why?

I really enjoyed this audio book and I will definitely listen again. The narrator did an awesome job! The story was believeable and scary yet well seasoned with lite humor throughout. I couldn't stop listening. This book maintained the intensity of the first book in this series. It really is a must read if you like a mix of paranormal, snarky quick wit attitude and suspense.

Little Cheesy?...Oh Yeah, But Oh, So Good!

I haven't listen to book 1 in the series, but this story makes a great stand alone. I've actually listen to this book at least three times over. I love it because no matter where you start listening in the middle of the story Mike Ross's dry humor will have you laughing out loud. There are so many scenes that are my favorite, but I absolutely loved it when Mike and his companion where turned into dogs.

The narration was perfect! Jeffrey really nailed Mike Ross's voice, and personality.

This story was funny as h***! I will definitely be on the look out for more books by Jim Bernheimer.

The good, the bad, the ugly, and the undead.

If it had been a print book, I would probably have dumped it after the first 100 pages (my personal litmus test). However. I came back to it after a few days of family madness, and decided that I was the problem, not the writing. Does not grab the reader like Iron Druid, but improves as it goes along. No spoiler alerts here, just read the publisher's quick summary for plot basics. Know that there is good plot development and characterization.
JK does his usual high grade work interpreting the characters and bringing depth to their personalities.
This book was provided in exchange for an honest review, but I will probably purchase other books in the series.
