Hawthorn Lake

Reprisal

By: Paul G Buckner

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

A fun-filled weekend of camping, hiking, and searching for a lost gold mine turns into a nightmare for five friends when they stumble upon an ancient evil hidden away for centuries in the snow-covered mountains of the Rockies.

Michelle Evers has since put the event behind her and moved on to a new life in a new town. She has made friends and enjoys an exciting job as a Sheriff's deputy in the resort town of Hawthorn Lake. But just as she begins to settle in, mysterious events that eerily resemble her past experiences start to unfold.

Michelle soon discovers that the sheriff and his close friend, Troy Turner, harbor a dark secret that could devastate the tourist-driven town. Michelle is forced to make a decision that could thrust her back into the nightmare that has haunted her for so long and push her to the edge of sanity.

Should she face her greatest fears and confront the evil that keeps her awake at night, or should she run and try to start over again somewhere else? Will she survive a second encounter, or will this be a fatal mistake?

Outstanding Story!

Ai readers suck to listen to.

I hope voice actors don’t get replaced by them.
About the book: sophomoric writing and needs a professional editor. But it’s not bad and I will read/listen to their other books since I enjoy cryptid nonsense. I bet it’s a better read than it was an audiobook.

Note to author: there are no brown or grizzly bears in Colorado. Not for a long time. Just black bears. I find that an important error in books about Sasquatch.

Story

AI reader needs work. Tonal inflection and pronunciation was distracting. Enjoyed the author’s work. Great story, likable relatable characters.

Nail biting battle with the big boy

The isolation, the desperation and the fear of friends and family put this story near the top of my list. Worth the time

Virtual voice wasn’t bad

I have listened to the other Hawthorn lane series, this was ok. I got lost a few times when it shifts back and forth in the time period. Chapters 30 and 31 were a bit much. Overkill.
