Critic reviews

“One of the best supernatural thrillers of recent years.” (John Connolly, New York Times best-selling author)

Great finish!!

By the end of the 1st book I was appalled that it was written(not realizing it was the beginning of a trilogy), I was left hurt and upset that such a good book had the worst cliffhanger ever! But immediately saw and download the rest of the trilogy! And oh goodness this last book was hardcore! Great story and character development, narration was wonderful to listen too and the it was just a good listen! On to the short stories of Pine Deep!

Perfect series

The perfect series for really anytime, but just happened upon them mid sept and just finished up late October. Wow, everything that went into this series is simply amazing. Have a go & let yourself get sucked in.

Good story that keeps moving

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend. The story which is all three books, moves along. The reader does a good job of voices and gets you into the story.

great story!!!!

this book series is a lot of fun. if you are a fan of urban fantasy elements in a true horror story (rest assure its not urban fantasy only elements of it) this is a great read. the characters while at times can be a bit cheesy in dialog are well flushed out and relatable in the context they're meant to be. the good guys good and the bad guys well down right evil. the story is a bit unique and fresh in an old way. oh and the narrator dose a fantastic job. i love this series

Really enjoyed the series.

I never leave reviews but felt like I needed.
It had gotten some bad reviews the 1st book. it was a little scattered but by the end I was hooked. Did not want the series to end. Suspense, witty. I really enjoyed.

Do Yourself a Favor

I waited until after finishing this book to write a review, completing the series of three books. All I can say is wow! While this is not my first read of Jonathon Maberry works, it is my first deep foray into this genre. The series is dark and very raw at some points. But the rawness is very character driven and helps paint a broad picture and develop the story. Once I started with the first book, I could not stop until I reached the end of this one. I fully immersed myself into the feel of the town and the emotions of the characters. Definitely had some interesting dreams during the course of this series. Great author, probably my favorite. If your not familiar, I highly recommend the joe ledger series, as this storyline is sometimes referenced there too and has a vein of similarities. I really appreciate the references, particularly the music. I frequently find myself playing songs referred to or having a meal that a character has to take myself deeper into the feel. Mr Mayberry does a great job with this. Check of these books, check out the short story books by the author and also his other series. Great writing, great stories and great narrators for the audiobooks. My two cents, but I don’t think you will be disappointed

AMAZING!

Finally a good horror series. If your looking at book 3 then you already know it’s worth it. Buy with confidence.

Amazing

Such a fantastic trilogy full of characters you’ll love, hate, want to see strive ! The reader does an amazing job ! The storyline (I usually stray from “monster” books) was fantastic ! Not corny, or already done.

An absolute masterpiece. Definitely worth listening to. A horror classic for modern times. Will be listening to it over and over again for years to come.
