Blister

By: Jeff Strand

Narrated by: Daniel Dorse

They call her Blister. She's a hideously disfigured 23-year-old woman, living in a shed next to her father's house, hidden away from the world.

Jason Tray is a successful cartoonist, banished to his agent's lakeside cabin for a few days of mandatory rest and relaxation. One night, while hanging out with a couple of the locals at a dive bar, he takes them up on their offer to go "see Blister," having no idea what they're talking about.

He peeks through the window at the most nightmarish thing he's ever seen.

In the morning, he wakes up, hung over and regretful. He's better than this. Does he need to apologize?

Loved this book

If you could sum up Blister in three words, what would they be?

Interesting, Amusing, Heartfelt

Who was your favorite character and why?

The main protagonist, Jason. He is funny and likable while maintaining a sense of relatability.

How could the performance have been better?

I did not like the narrator's voice for Blister. He sounded unnecessarily breathy and almost attempting to be sultry.

Blister

This was a surprisingly good book that I enjoyed. Jason was my favorite character. This book was a lot about humanity. Daniel Dorse did a good job with the narration. I received this free copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Character Driven, Warm and Fuzzy, Funny, Scary

EYEBALL JUICE
This is the best book I have listened to all year, maybe all of last year too. This has been slotted into the horror section, as that is what Strand normally writes. It is more literature, more romance and a lot more humorous, than horror. I applaud all books that include romances with women, who are not beautiful. Strand does this with class. This is not LOL funny as his book Wolf Hunt, the humor is more chuckles, although I found the part where some guys threaten to harm his dog, ended up being, fall on the ground funny. The book is in its fourth hour before anything truly scary happens. If you liked Rachael Vincent's Menagerie or Emma Donoghue's Room, you should enjoy this.

Wow

Great story. Slow build up to an exciting end. Keep reading! It is worth it!

What a backwater town.

I felt so sorry for Blister and the way she was treated when she was a victim. But everyone hated her afraid their crimes and secrets would come out so they wanted her locked away in the shed never coming out. Until her hero comes along and opens the world back open for her. Great book. will have to read more Jeff Strand. Narrator was very good.
