On a desolate beach in far northern Scotland, the winter storms have been washing up all manner of things since time began. But buried in the centre of one smaller iceberg is a shard of ancient Viking pottery telling a partial tale of a hidden mysterious island beyond the ice and mist, that was home to a great treasure and even greater horrors. Thawing in the same block of ice was a rotting flap of skin that refused to be identified but had similar skin patterns to a creature not seen for 100 million years.

Publisher's summary
On December 31, 1981, high atop a snowy mountain peak in the rugged interior of British Columbia, Canada, 98 beautiful people eat, drink, laugh, and dance inside the opulent grand ballroom of the Sinclair Resort Hotel.
The clock strikes 12, a cheer goes up, and the music swells; balloons drop and streamers swirl.
Then blackness....
Fifteen seconds later, the power returns and every living soul inside the ballroom has vanished, never to be seen again.
Now, 40 years later, preternatural investigator Lively Deadmarsh and his psychic twin sister, Minerva, have been brought in to solve this decades-old mystery once and for all.
Should they fail, they may become part of it, forever.

Great, but for a few irritations
I read Katie Berry’s Claw a couple of months ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. I thought it was one of the best debut novels I have ever read. I was, therefore, looking forward to ABANDONED being released on audiobook. I checked Audible regularly to see when it would become available. So imagine my delight when it was released.
I immediately downloaded the book and started listening to it. But somehow, I was not as impressed with it as I was with Claw. I wanted to rate it 3.5 stars, but when I considered my gripes with the book, I thought it would be unfair to rate it three stars, and therefore, I rounded it up to four. While the writing was still excellent, I had the following three issues with it:
1) The book was relatively short (Audible 6 hrs 23 min) whereas Claw was 14 hrs 42min. I read somewhere, though, that it is part of a four-part series. Was the story written to maximise revenue from four different books rather than two or three decent-sized novels? I don’t know, but it leaves me feeling a bit cheated. I also love “getting into” a book, which Claw allowed me to do. This book offers no possibility of that, no prolonged atmosphere being created slowly over time. Ultimately, it feels like candyfloss, pleasant but doesn’t fill my hunger. On the other hand, Claw felt like a decent man-size (may one still say that?) T-bone steak with all the trimmings.
2) Following my first gripe, the book absolutely ends on a cliffhanger. It provides virtually no answers and literally ends just as a grand reveal is about to take place. This felt juvenile. For a moment, I felt I got trapped in an 80’s tv show where I have to wait an entire week for the outcome, only to be disappointed. I sincerely hope this won’t be the case with book 2 in the series.
3) The interaction between Lively and his twin sister, Minerva, irritated me. Their conversations were unnatural and immature. While it is probably supposed to come across lighthearted, it didn’t work for me. There was simply too much playful sarcasm. E.g.
a) “that is a big bingo, little sister. It is always nice to see you come up to speed like it”; or
b) “my, you are the gregarious one, friends everywhere it seems”; or
c) “Ladies first. Thank you, but I am a liberated woman. And besides, it’s supposed to be age before beauty, big brother”. The constant reference to “little sister” and “big brother” became very annoying after a while.
Was the book awful? No, not at all! I loved the reference to It’s a Wonderful Life (1946 movie) and Vincent D’Agosta (I am a huge fan of the movie and Child and Preston’s Pendergast series). The storyline has great potential, and the setting in a snow-covered abandoned hotel is simply perfect. The rest of the writing (excluding dialogue between the twins) was superb. I loved how the story went back and forth in time, explaining certain events leading to the current reality. This book series has some excellent potential.
If Katie considered offering a bit more than basically four short stories and refine the dialogue between the twins, I would score it 5 stars. For now, I am out of here, as I need to see what Book 2 (ABANDONED: Beginnings and Betrayals) in the series has to offer. Oh, PS, Alex Knox as narrator, is brilliant.

Too much going on
The arrogance of Lively and the constant flippant remarks and pop culture references get old, fast. The book is very disjointed as the author gets sidetracked multiple times, diverging from the main story to tell the tale of a character from the 60s in addition to the cop in the 80s and the brother/sister investigation in 2021. Book one ends abruptly and doesn't resolve the mystery. In addition, the description that the two are in mortal danger is untrue. They can leave any time they want and, in fact, appear to be welcomed by the hotel.

Too short….
This book just stopped in the middle of the story. Most books in a series have closure for the current story but leave enough suspense to make you question if there’s more coming. And you can pick any book in the series, and they are a story-still connected-but you don’t have to purchase all the books in the series to know what’s going on. This book is an epic failure in that respect. It’s the bait-and-switch here. If you enjoyed the FREE beginning (which I did), you’re more likely to purchase the rest of the books. But likely not for me. These books are too short to spend a credit on!!

Lively enough, but more like young adult fiction. Characters are just so so, but plot was better. Only part of the story so left me hanging.

So far so good....
This is a story in 4 parts, not 1 book and it's sequel(s) and if I have a complaint it's that I didn't know that going in, I had already bought 1&2 before realizing there were two more as yet unpublished volumes.
But being halfway through the story I am enjoying it. Katie's Deadmarsh Twins are enjoyable both in character and in the number of literary, pop culture, and music references they make. The mystery is intriguing, and loaded with a number of theories about quantum physics and the nature of the universe(s) but also feature some good old-fashioned spookiness. But if this book interests you my recommendation would be to wait until all 4 parts are published and take it all in one fell swoop.

A young man leaves his backdoor Russian town and heads to Moscow, never to be poor again. With each day, he grows more and more desperate, until he meets an old geologist with an intriguing and surprisingly profitable offer: to join him on his trip to the depths of Siberia, the largest forest on the planet, and become a "black digger" - one of those who find and excavate mammoth tusks with the purpose of selling them as ivory to the highest bidder.

Story
Felix Allsey is a travel writer with a keen eye for the paranormal, and he's carved out a unique, if only slightly lucrative, niche for himself in nonfiction; he writes travelogues of the country's most haunted places, after haunting them himself. When he convinces the owner of the infamous Rotterdam Mansion to let him stay on the premises for two weeks, he believes he's finally found the location that will bring him a best seller. Then things start going wrong: screams from upstairs, figures in the thresholds, and more than what should be in any basement.
