Hawthorn Lake

Reprisal

De: Paul G Buckner

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

A fun-filled weekend of camping, hiking, and searching for a lost gold mine turns into a nightmare for five friends when they stumble upon an ancient evil hidden away for centuries in the snow-covered mountains of the Rockies.

Michelle Evers has since put the event behind her and moved on to a new life in a new town. She has made friends and enjoys an exciting job as a Sheriff's deputy in the resort town of Hawthorn Lake. But just as she begins to settle in, mysterious events that eerily resemble her past experiences start to unfold.

Michelle soon discovers that the sheriff and his close friend, Troy Turner, harbor a dark secret that could devastate the tourist-driven town. Michelle is forced to make a decision that could thrust her back into the nightmare that has haunted her for so long and push her to the edge of sanity.

Should she face her greatest fears and confront the evil that keeps her awake at night, or should she run and try to start over again somewhere else? Will she survive a second encounter, or will this be a fatal mistake?

Story

AI reader needs work. Tonal inflection and pronunciation was distracting. Enjoyed the author’s work. Great story, likable relatable characters.

Nail biting battle with the big boy

The isolation, the desperation and the fear of friends and family put this story near the top of my list. Worth the time

Ai readers suck to listen to.

I hope voice actors don’t get replaced by them.
About the book: sophomoric writing and needs a professional editor. But it’s not bad and I will read/listen to their other books since I enjoy cryptid nonsense. I bet it’s a better read than it was an audiobook.

Note to author: there are no brown or grizzly bears in Colorado. Not for a long time. Just black bears. I find that an important error in books about Sasquatch.

Outstanding Story!

Loved The Story... Not A Fan Of AI Voice,,,, But One Heck Of A Story!!!!! LOVED IT! Kept Me Coming Back For More Just To Finish It To See How It Would All Turn Out! It's A Sabe Story,,, & W Myself Seeing One 39years ago,& Being Native American,,,, I Have Been Intrigued Since That Day! Hats Off To The Writer! Please Come Out W A Follow Up Book, That Follows The Officer Woman That Had To Go On The Run.... MUST LISTEN IF ENJOY STORIES ABOUT THE SABE(Hairy Man, In My Culture)!👍👏👏

AI sucks

The story was enjoyable and captivating. The AI made it amusing but not in a good way. The inflection was way off as was the reading of certain words. Id rather hear a human!!

Gave up twice

I will admit that I gave up twice on this story but since I hate giving up one a story, I gave it one late try and that's when it finally snapping into place. I think the Virtual Voice did a disservice to this story and if it had been read by a human, I might have to fight my way there it.

Do I recommend the audible version of this story - No. I think you're better off getting a copy and reading it. The novel is popcorn novel and is prefect for a lazy weekend.

story was great the virtual voice reader was f****** terrible

story was great. virtual voice narrator on the other hand was awful. I will never understand why authors allow their books to be read by this virtual narrator it's terrible it sounds like s*** it takes away from their book and the story that's being told and the overall performance. quit being a tightwad spend some freaking money and hire a real narrator.

AI Voice is unbearable

I really tried to stick it out. But the computer voice is abysmal. It ruins the story and any interest I might have had in it.
I really hope they don't start using this more often. Cost-cutting is one thing, but if no one can stomach the content you produce, then the effort is useless.

I couldn't get through it because the AI voice.

the AI reader is terrible! it's so hard to follow and I really wanted to listen to the whole story but I just couldn't.
