Different take on serial killers!

I loved the take on the serial killer in this book. Unlike others I’ve read, it’s told from the POV of Jones. This blends the perfect amount of horror and gore. It was fast-paced and the narration was top shelf! Diving into Jones 1993 now!

I absolutely love this story! Jones is a terrifying that you can't help but love!

A Chilling, Unforgettable Thriller

Some books pull you in with their covers alone, and Jones 1963 did just that for me. The eerie, haunting artwork immediately set the tone, and once I started reading, I couldn’t stop. The tension is relentless. You know that feeling in a haunted house when you're just waiting for something to happen? That’s how I felt throughout this entire book.

At its core, this is the story of Jones—a boy who faces more than his fair share of hardship. I found myself relating to parts of his childhood, and as the book progressed, one question kept running through my mind: How much can one person take before they snap? This story takes you right to that breaking point and beyond, delivering a psychological and supernatural punch that lingers long after the final page.

Joe Hempel does an incredible job narrating this book. His voice perfectly captures the creeping dread and emotional weight of the story. He brings Jones to life in a way that makes you feel every ounce of his pain and tension. His performance elevates an already fantastic book into an unforgettable experience.

If you’re a fan of authors like Stephen King or Paul Tremblay—writers who masterfully blend psychological horror with raw human emotion—then you need to read Jones 1963. Cabrera’s storytelling is immersive, unsettling, and impossible to put down.

This is the kind of book that sticks with you. It’s terrifying, yes, but it’s also deeply emotional. You feel for Jones even as you brace yourself for what’s coming next. Five stars all the way—if I could rate it higher, I would!

Bloody good fun

Highly entertaining, extreme teenage slasher that won’t leave you feeling bad for rooting for the killer
Joe’s narration is always spot on and never fails to add a layer of enjoyment to anything he lends his voice to

If you’re in the mood for a revenge tale, that isn’t afraid to get bloody, I highly recommend you making this. Your next read. 5stars

I had really high expectations…

Ehhh… I had really high expectations for this book, especially seeing (mostly) good reviews on multiple platforms.
It was very surface level, and repetitive in some areas. I pushed through reading it because I was wanting to give it a chance and hoping for it to get better. Ultimately, I was extremely underwhelmed.
