5.0 out of 5 stars Thankfully, the entire series is included....
Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2018
It is a very good thing that the entire series is included in one production because I don't think readers could handle waiting months to move from book to book. Brent Jones knows how to write a cliffhanger that left me listening for just one more reveal until I had the book finished in two days. Afton Morrison is a complex character - both kick-ass strong and vulnerable at the same time. Her relationships with her brother and her friends were equally complex. She cared deeply for the important people in her life but came across as sarcastic and unfeeling in her dealings with them. On one hand, Afton was this caring librarian that gave ice cream to a lonely boy, acted as mentor for a lonely teenager, and offered comfort to an assault victim. On the other hand, she was planning (and looking forward to committing) multiple murders but justifying them by only planning to kill BAD people.

Jones impressively uses foreshadowing to not only draw the reader ever deeper into the story, but he drops these clues that leave the reader thinking: what just happened? I never could have guessed all the twists and turns this book would take, but I certainly enjoyed Afton's wild and crazy journey to an end to her quest. However, it might only be an end for now because Jones definitely left the door open for future adventures for Afton.

The narrator, Kristin James, did an excellent job helping with the creepiness factor of The Afton Morrison Series. She fantastically portrays the various emotions of all the characters, and she really knows how to make the psychopaths sound all the crazier. Between Brent Jones prose and Kristin James narration, this book could join the ranks of Hitchcock Presents and The Twilight Zone. I highly recommend this audiobook and would definitely listen to another book with the author or the narrator.

I received a copy of this audiobook at my request in exchange for this honest review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Overall a terrific and thrilling ride!!
Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2018
Having read the entire Afton Morrison Collection, I was extremely excited to get my hands on the Audible version of it...

Well I can tell you I AM NOT DISAPPOINTED!! First I have to mention Kirstin James, she is INCREDIBLE!! I’m a singer, and I know about working your voice in and out of different keys. But WOW! What she does with her voice is mind boggling to me, it just blows me away!! She TOTALLY brought the characters that Brent wrote to life!! Afton, her character is important and she did her so perfectly! And OMG, Animus too!! I would plug my earbuds in at night sometimes and get so wrapped up in the story, that I ended up more than half the night. Bravo to her performance on every character!!

The entire Afton story. I love this story!! I love Afton and her messed up self. Her dark, twisted, murderous side and her loyal, caring, good hearted side. I’m an Afton FAN!! (Brent, we need T-Shirts or Mugs or something.) I love the whole Animus concept. And I love all the twist and turn and constant surprises. I wishes I could say more, because there’s a lot more I love. (OH, I love Twinkie!) But I don’t want to give too much away for new readers. But I will say that this is an AWESOME book, both to read and to listen to! Or do both, like me!!! I am really really hoping, FINGERS CROSSED, that there will be more Afton!! Maybe a spinoff, or something!!!

Highly Highly recommend this book if Psychological Thrillers are your thing!! I’m giving it as many stars as allowed, but it deserves stars upon stars upon stars!! You’re the best Brent, don’t stop writing!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Thrilling, thought provoking, and just plain amazing!
Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2018
This is by far one of my new favourite series!
Afton is an intense character who really grows and changes throughout the books, you just never know if it's going to be for the better, of for the worst!
With well written characters Brent has you cheering for people when you don't even know if you should be! There seems to be a lot of moral ambiguity that has you questioning choices at every turn!
If you are looking for an amazing ride that is both intense, and (with Afton's sarcastic wit) often hilarious even... LOOK NO FURTHER!

5.0 out of 5 stars Chilling psychological thriller...
Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2018
The audio version of The Afton Morrison series has all four books together plus a funny and sarcastic prequel short story. The characters are complex and well written. The drama is full of action, suspense, and twists and turns that will keep you on the edge your seat. Narration is excellent and adds to the intrigue. Enjoy!
I received an arc copy and am happy to leave my honest review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Read
Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2018
The Afton Morrison Series was a great Read by Brent Jones. This book consisted of the first four books in the series as well as a bonus short story; Go Home, Afton; See You Soon, Afton; Time’s Up, Afton; and A Book With No Pictures. This was a great series that followed Afton Morrison, a children’s librarian with a dark secret. I loved reading this series and can’t wait to read more by Brent Jones.

Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2018
A wonderful story with dark secrets, murders and a lot of twists and turns. The characters were well written, and the narration kept me on the edge of the seat. I am glad I got the whole series in one boxset, so I didn't have to wait for the continuation. I'm looking forward to reading more of Mr. Jones books.

Highly recommended.
