Loved it!

This book was so good! The story was amazing! I love Shane and I just wish I hadn’t finished it all in one day. Excited for the second one, which I just started!

Absolutely spooktacular!!!

Loved it!!! Only Shane Ryan could find himself in such a savage state of affairs... .and only he could disrupt them so stellarly !!!! .

Shane Ryan is simply fantastic!

I loved Ron Ripley and Ian Fortey’s, Duel of the Damned! The story is simply fantastic! Together Ripley and Fortey weave a tale with all the imagery one has come to expect of the often cynical, always charming, Shane Ryan of Berkley Street fame. They have built a cast of great characters and a well written story that makes for a 5-star review so full of action and suspense that I couldn't stop listening. Every free moment was spent lost in the tale of how Shane Ryan had to once again pull his fat out of the supernatural fryer so to speak, and prove his worth whether he wanted to or not.

This time finds Shane really not wanting any of it! But he finds he has little to no choice. Shane has been invited to a very special, one of a kind event, called The Iron Tournament where living fighters are pitted against bound spirits in a savage fight to the death. The winner of course gets to live on to fight another battle. And so on the tournament progresses until the last man or ghost is standing.

It was an absolutely amazing story! Certainly one of my favorites, not soon to be forgotten. And one that I would happily recommend for some good light hearted entertainment.

Twist

Thom Bowers did an amazing job narrating as always. Honestly I don't think anyone else could do a book by Ron Ripley better. Ian Fortey and Ron Ripley did an incredible job on this book. Although it's not exactly like what Ron Ripley normally does with his books about Shane Ryan it is still extremely well done

Great book !

The books Scare Street put out are awesome books. My favorite are the books with Shane Ryan. This one is very good. I think with 2 authors writing this the writing is somewhat different than when just Ron Ripley is writing about Shane. It is still an excellent book. The book is read well by the narrator. It will keep you engaged ....... it's very exciting. You won't be disappointed !

Great listen

I enjoyed this book immensely. Shane Ryan is a great character, and this story had a fresh theme to it.

Can’t get enough!

I have listen to everyone of Ron Ripply books. I am beyond thrilled to see Shane Ryan back in action!

Can't stop listening

This book was not what I expected. Tournaments with ghost. The main character is not mussed, and I really enjoyed his feelings on the fighting with ghost. I feel like I would be in the same since of humor on what is happening. I recommend this book.

I received this book for free in exchange for my honest opinion.

Love Ron Ripley!

I don’t know how I ever stumbled upon Ron Ripley, but man I’m glad I did! Tom Bauer does an amazing job narrating and my only disappointment is ever that I must wait for the next book to come out. This is no exception.

An Invitation of Death

Shane Ryan has been sent a rather odd invitation, and he is determined to figure out what it is, and where it came from. However, upon investigating, he finds himself entering a dangerous world, one where the only way to get out, is to be the last one alive...

What an amazing book! I thoroughly enjoyed this read! The narrator did a fabulous job, and the content held my attention throughout.

Horror fans, you will LOVE this one!
