Generally, I don't write less than a 4-star review

Certain things annoy me, personally. When an author uses the same word more than three times in a paragraph, for example. "His FEET flew upward. The ground shifted beneath his FEET and he struggled for balance. There, not more than 10 FEET ahead." I'm serious. It's exactly like this. Same thing with phrases: "ICE filled his veins as terror overtook him." Then, five more references to ICE and freezing in the same paragraph.
A couple of truths are obvious. I don't believe the author wrote the novel with Thom Bowers incredibly over-the-top, punch-every-word-to-death, melodramatic "Le Cage" narration in her head. I hope not. When you combine her writing style with his narration style, it makes one want to laugh. There's no glue holding the pages to the binder. One second, the ridiculously named main character is walking, talking and smiling and ten seconds later, he's getting his flesh torn off and screaming "Abe!" sixteen times a time while his FEET FEET FEET FEET... This is how Thom reads it: "calm passive small charming grin OMG! OMG! OMG!". It's the definition of passive-aggressive meets manic-depressive.
In summary, I dislike this work because I expected an adult-themed work in the horror genre. Instead, I got the winning submission in Mrs. Henry's 8th grade drama screenplay competition read by her gay uncle who almost made it to Broadway.

Another good story

I enjoyed the story, the narration was superb with convincing voices, easily able to lose myself in this book as it created a movie in my mind.

Everything but the romantic kiss!

I rarely write reviews but this series was one of my favorites, the characters are perfect, although I agree Michael was a less whiny in the last book, thank you! but where was the romantic kiss we were all waiting for between Michael and Abe? maybe in their next adventure....yes please!!

couldn't stop listening if I tried!!!

I absolutely loved this series. from the plot and characters to the intensity that never quit throughout the entire series!! I definitely recommend if you like this author or if it's a new one to try. you just can't go wrong!

better narrator please

this wasn't the best book I've listened to. the narrator doesn't do voices well. I almost didn't enjoy this book. the main character is whinyyyy. this book left me disappointed.
