Publisher's Summary

Running from his own demons, Shane Ryan ends up in a cozy little cabin in New Hampshire waiting out a snowstorm. Despite the idyllic setting of ice frosted trees and snow covered lawns, Shane's peaceful hideout is suddenly plunged into chaos. A Micmac ghost army, led by Broken Nose, goes on a rampage of torture and murder. Shane may be a ghostbusting expert, but without his fighting gear, his chances are slim in winning the battle against a supernatural horde.

With Shane missing, Frank knows deep in his gut that his friend is in trouble. He pulls out all the stops and enlists the help of The Englishman, a lunatic who has a passion for killing. They both head to the one place Shane might be - Lake Nutaq.

As the trio prepares for battle, Shane realizes it's time to fight fire with fire, rage with rage and death with death! When they face Broken Nose, Shane sees the medicine man has commandeered an army of the dead to carry out his brutal blood killings. Frank and Shane live on the edge of danger but nothing could have prepared them for the malevolent evil unleashed to destroy them....

Torture ruins everything

This book was completely ruined for me by the graphic and multiple descriptions of torture. I like a ghost story, but I do not find torture entertaining. I am not finishing this book, it's too ugly.

Shane's hands are full!

I think I keep saying it with each addition to the series, but this has to be my favourite so far!! Shane is in way over his head here!!

So this one sees Shane set out from his house to clear his head, but he ends up stuck in a snow storm and stranded on Lake Nutaq. Things here are bad! Shane finds himself in the midst of an army of ghosts, lead by Broken Nose. Shane doesn't have any of his gear, nor a way to contact anyone. How will he get out of it this time??

How much more can Shane take? He is battered and bruised, and missing pieces of himself, but he still fights, and that's why I love this series so much. He is just so strong and brave and selfless. He seems to be getting emotionally better and stronger and just all round awesomer ;)

I love the authors ability to create memorable settings and even more memorable ghosts. Patience and Broken Nose were some of the worst! I also love seeing the flash back scenes and getting to know more on how the ghosts came to be.

This series is one of my favourites. The author never fails to grab my attention and give me chills. Each book is better than the previous ones and each leaves me wanting more. I can't wait to see what the author has in store for Shane next!

Thom Bowers really knows how to capture the essence of the story and knows how to bring the scariness and spookiness to life. He has also portrayed Shane perfectly. He brings across Shane's personality really well and always keeps me entertained.

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher. This in no way affected nor influenced my thoughts.

Another amazing chapter in the story!!!

Again, this book was amazing! I love following Shane Ryan’s story as he fights the evil dead that plague the northeast. In this story, Shane fibds himself trapped in a snowstorm, only to find himself shut into a cabin near the Lake Nutaq. Once again, strange forces are fostering the most handouts of dead souls, in this case, a revenge seeking Chief named Btoken Nose and his tribe. With the help of Shane’s friend and partner Frank, abd Franks new ghostly find; The Englishman, the peaceful lake retreat fast becomes a ghostly battleground. This book is a hauntingly good follow up to the Berkeley Street Series!

Beware the young, seemingly innocent ghost!

Another fantastic story! Realistic setting, as a New Hampshirite I have been to places just like this. Patience is the creepiest young ghost in the series so far, and Broken Nose is the most horrific! Poor Shane just can't get a much needed break.

Really good read

As always mr ripley keeps you on the edge of his every word ! The narration brings action to every word as the story unfolds riveting you to go deeper into the action .great series from a great writer.

Kitty

This is one of Mr. Ripley's best books in this series. I loved it,couldn't put it down. He made you think that the people could of really lived. Shane and Frank's adventure's never get boring. Makes you think Courtney really exist.

Scariest So Far

If you like your terror horrifying, this is the story for you! This series rocks!

Great read better listen.

You really need to read this it is a trip you will never forget. Enjoy the wHit goes.

Amazing!

I highly recommend the entire series. The main characters come across as very real. They have baggage, they're believable, and it makes you cheer for them that much more. It's not always easy to get attached to a character in what boils down to a ghost story, but this series nails it on the head. I'm always left wanting more. Each story in the series builds off the last and takes you a great journey. Sometimes, as with life, the journey is painful. I highly recommend the series. Once you start into it, you won't want to put the series down. if you're anything like me, you'll be desperately watching for an announcement that the next book is being released. I hope to never hear the end of Shane Ryan!

How much can one man take?

Shane's tough, and he's been in some tight spots before, but the spirits at Lake Nutaq may be the worst he's faced yet. To make matters worse, he took off on this trip without telling anyone where he was going, so he's on his own out there! A new enemy is revealed, and Shane's strength will be tested to the breaking point. Frank is desperately trying to get there in time to help his fried, but will he be too late?

Another great book, and I love the extra bonus content at the end - it really gives more depth and details for some of the backstory. This series just keeps getting better!
