Cascade Hunger

The DuPage Parish Mysteries, Book 2

De: Gregory Ashe

Narrado por: Declan Winters

Eli and Dag survived a monster. Two monsters, in fact.

A year later, though, they’re still trying to settle into a regular life. Dag is working hard in school. It’s not going great. Eli is working hard at…being a better Eli. He’s eating right. Most of the time. He’s thinking about exercise in healthy ways. He’s okay with how he looks, as long as he doesn’t walk past any mirrors.

He goes out some nights, though. He goes across the lake, back to Bragg, where the monsters were. And he’s not sure why. He’s not sure what keeps calling him back. When a woman is brutally murdered and an eyewitness claims to have seen the killer transform into a mysterious light, Eli and Dag are forced to set aside their own problems and face a difficult truth: There is another monster out there. Worse, there doesn’t seem to be anybody else who can stop it from killing again.

But not all monsters are the same, as Eli and Dag discover. And the most dangerous monster might be the one who can give you what you’ve always wanted.

Great second book

4.5 I finished the book in a day. I didn’t want to stop listening. The narrator was so good. This is not my normal read but I didn’t find it too scary. I love the author so it proves anything he writes I will enjoy. I just love Dag, he is the perfect guy for Eli.

LOVED

Dag and Eli are just so perfectly imperfect and so right for each other.
Of course that doesn't mean that they are without challenges.
These two have such deep rooted issues that they will be dealing with them for life. Can they work on themselves while building a life together?
I love how Gregory Ashe keeps us guessing until the very end. Thinking I have things figured out then realizing the error of my ways. Best kind of suspense there is!
I gobbled this book up in one sitting and was left with the best kind of book hangover!
Declan Winters does an outstanding job of bringing this story to life.
Cascade Hunger is a must read!

Great Progression in the series!

Dag and Eli continue with their lives and relationship with another “monster” lurking. Gregory Ashe writes complex characters and stories that involve the reader wholeheartedly. No insta love or fixes- they work and struggle to be better. I can’t wait for another one- listening makes them MORE real for me! Keep on writing and I’ll keep buying!

Excellent narration!

This is really creepy and I'm really enjoying it! The plot is engaging, there's some new spooky elements, and boy oh boy are these two cursed. Eli is a supreme brat, and I'm glad we have a realistic relationship where everything isn't perfect or easy. Both leads have things they need to work on, they try to communicate, try to understand each other, and are doing their best. Also, their domestic homelife with Dag going back to school is very cute.

Sl*rs aren't something I personally like to read about, and it did get a little rough listening to them used throughout the story. It didn't really add anything to the storyline or characters for my personal reading experience, but I imagine they were included for some reason.

Again - excellent narration from Declan Winters. Really enjoying the dual POV as well!

Great story. Great narration.

The trauma, horror, and steamy scenes from the first book in this series continue in this one. Dag and Eli have settled into a routine, but events from Stray Fears catch up to them, and they are back to monster hunting with a little bit more understanding of what they face.

I like how the author handles the various mental and emotional issues that both Dag and Eli are managing. They are both dealing with trauma in different ways, and the resulting character development is interesting to observe. Dag's parents continue to be a supportive and slightly exasperating duo for both Dag and Eli. Once again Declan Winters' narration adds a bit of personality to the characters that makes them seem even more real.

This was a great read/listen that I enjoyed even more than the first book, and I have already started on the third one.
