Publisher's summary

The first two books in the John Decker series, and the John Decker prequel novella, Soul Catcher.

What Vengeance Comes: John Decker left Wolf Haven, Louisiana, to escape the memories of his troubled past, believing he would never return. But after 20 years working for a big-city police department, he suddenly finds himself back in Wolf Haven, taking the reins as the town’s sheriff. Expecting to spend his time dealing with the trivialities of small-town life, he instead finds a vicious killer picking off the residents one by one. Scrambling to find answers before anyone else dies, Decker stumbles across an age-old superstition, a terrifying creature conjured from the depths of hell to seek revenge.

Cold Sanctuary: In a tunnel deep beneath an Alaskan mountain, a man is brutally murdered. Just one in a series of grisly deaths, it is not long before whispers grow that the Qalupalik, a terrifying creature born from centuries of superstition and fear, has come to wreak havoc on the small coastal town of Shackleton, Alaska. With no way to stop the slayings, the town turns to disgraced ex-cop John Decker, hoping he can do what they could not. The assignment, far from his native Louisiana, might be just what Decker needs to put the past behind him. But as the bodies mount, and the town grows frantic, Decker realizes that whatever is on the loose is no mere superstition. The bogeyman is real, and it's up to him to stop it.

Soul Catcher: In New York City, Homicide Detective John Decker arrives at a brutal crime scene. A man has been tortured and murdered in his own house, a sprawling mansion on the Upper East Side. But this is no ordinary home invasion. Nothing has been taken, and there appears to be no motive. Until beautiful Egyptologist Emma Wilson shows up with an enigmatic letter penned by the victim. Soon Decker is thrust into a shadowy world of ancient beliefs, fanatical cults, and the quest for a priceless artifact - a rare statue of the Egyptian god Anubis. Now, with their lives in grave danger, Decker and Emma must solve the mystery of the statue, and stay one step ahead of a cult with one thing on their minds, the return of their god, and the judgment of all mankind.

great book wonderful series

when I was skeptical at first but I said what the heck and gave it a go some of the way he narrates is a little aggravating like he's reading to a 5 year old but the majority of the time it is well played.

Narrator lacks in areas

Storyline is decent. Narrator lacks in emotion, inflection and pronunciation of some rather common words. If improper pronunciation grates your nerves, you should reconsider before listening to this series. So far, I'm cringing but powering through, simply because I have failed to complete only one book in my life, and I'm not about to increase that count now!

Good Story. Narration could be better

Not sure if it's his normal voice but to me it sounds like he's trying too hard to make his voice go lower. Very distracting.

Goosebumps For Adults

I enjoy the stories. They are a little predictable but still fun. The only thing I don't like about them is the narrator. His cadence/rhythm, rate and inflection are way off. His female voices are terrible and indistinguishable from one snother. He takes away from the story.

Excellent books and narrator

This box set is for books 1, 2, and the prequel to a supernatural thriller series of books. My husband and I listened to them, and we both loved all the stories. I'd be hard-pressed to choose a favorite from them as they were all so different. I'm hooked and am looking forward to listening to the next one!
I also thought the narrator was great. He has a nice, deep voice and does a good job with the characters. I hope he is used over the entire series.
All in all, I'd recommend this to anyone who loves action, mystery, and thriller-type books, and if you also love paranormal or supernatural elements, then you will love this author. Good, complete storylines, well thought out, and exciting. Reminds me of Preston & Child mixed with James Rollins.

Narrator

A decent narrator could have made these books a pretty good listen. Jet Malakai is awful. He ruined the books.

Maybe...

I think maybe if I read them instead of listening to them... The narrator was ok. The storyline was a little weak for me. I was expecting more of a Drasen Files kind of world. I may try them again later on again. I finished them but I found my self getting distracted by the lint in the sun beam...

Jet Malakai should NEVER narrate.

Jet Malakai only reads 3-5 words at a time and puts the inflections totally in the wrong spots. Matter of fact, the narration almost made me. Or finish this series. It took 3Weeks for me to get through it and if the story wasn’t so interesting, I’d have left it alone.

Attention grabbing!

I really like the stories from this writer. It really held my attention from the first page to the last. I got this in Audible took me a few minutes to get used to the man reading it. But he did make it sound very suspenseful. Kept your attention. The books can be listened in mixed company. While going down the highway. It’s not full of sex. But did have romance. The main character gets caught up in solving the unusual and supernatural.
