Consumed

De: Aaron Mahnke

Narrado por: Jason Jewett

Aspiring author Ben Simmons hates imposing himself upon others, so when he breaks down in the small Rhode Island town of Kettering, he's forced to grit his teeth and lean on strangers for help.

It's not all bad, though. His temporary host could not be more accommodating, and the local librarian quickly takes an interest in Ben, as well as the research for his next novel. Though unexpected, his short stay has the potential to be enjoyable. But when he stumbles upon the second murder in Kettering within a week, he realizes his presence in town might actually be life-threatening.

Ben soon finds himself torn between leaving as soon as he can and his feelings for the alluring Ellen Hornsby. However, the longer Ben stays in town, the more questions he has. Who is the killer? How are these murders connected to similar crimes committed 30 years before? And why haven't the townspeople done anything?

As Ben's list of allies grows, so too does the threat that haunts the people of Kettering. Together, these individuals must set aside their differences and find the killer before the body count climbs any higher, but time is running out.

Something is in the woods, something hidden among the shadows that grow ever longer with winter's approach, and it's hunting all of them.

Great Story but terrible Narration really disappointed with that!

Love the story but the narrator is not good at all the point of really being disappointing as the Podcast is SO MUCH better which is surprising as books are usually better but I think it’s never good to have one male narrator doing the men & women characters both and this male voice wasn’t pleasant as either gender.. love Mahnke & his works but the narration is so important obviously on audio books…

Consumption was a perfect "roadtrip book"

loved the entire story and already downloaded all Aaron Mahnkes books. Cant wait to read the rest!

I knew better

Stolen straight from Stephen King. Mahnke doesn’t have an idea of his own in his head.

Thought provoking and shiver worthy

the narrative pace felt a little off, but the story was good and I plan to read more.

I didn't really care for the narrator much. However the book was ok. I enjoyed the story line.
