Dark Supernatural Suspense With Strong Female Lead

In the town of Gold Fields, evil wears a friendly mask, blood doesn’t always run red, and fire doesn’t always burn.

Eight-year-old Innah McLeod witnessed a nightmare that shattered her innocence and left her with supernatural abilities.
For years, she used these gifts in service of law enforcement, spying on the dregs of the supernatural community. But when her partner and mentor falls in the line of duty, Innah’s only wish is to retreat to the country and the solace of beautiful sunsets.
Now, Captain Bradshaw wants her back. If she accepts this one assignment, he will release her from her contract. Unable to refuse, Innah finds herself undercover in the town where she lost more than she ever knew.

She knows the drills—go in, identify the members, get out. But Gold Fields is home to a dangerous cult, one that brings the past knocking on her door and awakens old nightmares.

Once, Innah McLeod faced unspeakable horrors. In the town of Gold Fields, she will step into that darkness anew, where the line between savior and sacrifice hangs by a thread.

Quick easy listen

This is a new author to me. I enjoyed the story and was surprised at how much I enjoyed the book. I didn’t mind the virtual voice either. There were only a few places where the intonation wasn’t quite right, but overall, I enjoyed it.

Promising

While the storyline was interesting, the ending left room for another book. It’s a promising start to what could be a good series. The characters were OK but felt a little flat, but that could’ve been due to the narration and the lack of emotional depth.The narration was not good. The narration lacked emotional context. That’s just something AI hasn’t mastered so it felt very one note and made it hard to really get into the story and the characters.
