In the Black Room

The Black Room, Book 1

By: Luke Smitherd

Narrated by: Luke Smitherd

There are hangovers, there are bad hangovers, and then there's waking up inside someone else's head. Bartender Charlie Wilkes is faced with this exact dilemma when he wakes to find himself trapped inside The Black Room: a space consisting of impenetrable darkness and a huge, ethereal screen floating in its center. It is through this screen that Charlie sees the world of Minnie - his unwitting and unwilling host - while he undergoes an out-of-body experience like no other.

How did he get there? What has happened to his life? And how can he exist inside the mind of a troubled, fragile, but beautiful woman with secrets of her own? Uncertain whether he's even real or if he is just a figment of Minnie's imagination, Charlie must enlist her help - as well as his newfound psychic abilities - if he is to find a way out of The Black Room, a place where even the light of the screen goes out every time Minnie closes her eyes....

New and interesting

I chose this book because of its under $5.00 price at first but when it was over definitely wanted more. Now I just bought the 3rd one and can't wait to listen. The story is new and interesting. A twist that I've never heard before. The author has a great reading/speaking voice to listen to.
The only thing I don't like is that the 4th book will cost just under $18.00. It is 5 hours long but I normally wouldn't pay that much for a 5 hour book. I still give the first one 5 stars because I'm not there yet

Love to listen again and again

I love this story and particularly love to listen to it read by the author. I love the characters and the way Smitherd develops them in such a way that you feel as though you are getting to know new friends. The emotions presented feel real and natural, thereby making you feel you are actually there experiencing them yourself.
Add to this the brilliant concept behind the story, and you've got yourself an excellent book reading! You will not be disappointed!

It's dark in here

After I read the next books in the series I may have to come back and rate this book better. It is an interesting book and I hope the secret to how he ended up in this mess gets revealed soon.
