Lucifer's Children

De: Brett Williams

Narrado por: Joe Hempel

A family tragedy thrusts Amanda into the foster care of the Henning family at the start of her senior year of high school. Amanda soon learns that the prestigious private school isn't what it seems. Monarch Preparatory School for Girls is a place plagued by rampant teen pregnancy, promiscuity, and violence.

Amanda is confused when Kat, who rules the school, befriends her. Perhaps more confusing, though, are her momentary lapses in memory, misplaced or moved objects, and instances of depravity taking place within the Henning household.

Unbeknownst to Amanda, Ceremonial Father conducts ritual sacrifice and blood orgies with a group of Satanists.

What is truly happening at Monarch Prep? Can Amanda make it to graduation? Most of all, what role will she play?

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Lucifer's Children combines the teens in trouble of classic John Saul with the no-holds-barred visceral intensity of Edward Lee and Jack Ketchum. This is hardcore horror with a heart. You'll want to look away from this smashing, page-turner, but you simply won't be able to." (David Bell, author of Somebody I Used to Know)

This is a thrilling, fantastic story.

A terrifying book you just can not put down.

This book was a horror filled, cult centered story revolving around characters, that as the author states, "Don't know they are in a cult." This extremely long audio book started off with a horrendous scene of infant murder all in the praise of Lucifer.
We are introduced to Amanda, a teen who is placed in a foster home after her parents are in a mysterious car crash and they are killed. Amanda is appalled at the sexual abuse and blatant disregard of laws and morals that her foster parents show for her young foster sister. She keeps her head down, waiting for he 18th birthday to move out. This reader prayed along with her that somehow she would make it through alive and would be able to get on with her life.
Questions arose while reading this story, what was Kat looking for in the office that day, were Amanda's parents really dead, why did Amanda seem to lose large chunks of her memories, and why did the book have to end the way it did? How could so many characters not do something to change the outcome of Amanda's story?
The story is written in such a way that even this extremely sensitive reader was able to keep hitting the play button just to see what would happen next. I am not a horror reader, and this books contents were sickening at times but I found I had to finish it.
Joe Hempel is an incredible narrator, his voice was perfect whether he was doing male or female characters, and his tone, pace, and speech were very well done considering this terrifying story line.
Would I listen to this story again, absolutely not. I lost a few nights of sleep being haunted by the images the author seared in my brain. I would definitely read other books by Brett Williams, only if they were not horror and more contemporary/comedy/suspense. Brett penned an incredible story, he must have one hell of a tortured mind to be able to come up with this story but I will never forgive him for how it ended.
So after 24 hours of consideration, this is my review of Lucifer's Children, that was gifted by the narrator for an honest review. I only chose to read this story because Joe was narrating, and he is my all time favorite audio book narrator. And, he thought I would enjoy the experience. Jokes on me, right guys?

Graphic & Twisted

The label on the book that states may be offensive, definitely needs to be there. I had a difficult time listening to this book and unfortunately I was unable to finish it, I am sad to say. I can listen to a lot of horror books that are far from the norm and can be twisted but this was a bit too much for me, so unfortunately, I am providing a review on what I did listen to. From what I heard, it was very well written and graphic. The author makes it quite easy for you to picture in your minds' eye what is happening. I think that was the issue I had ... between my imagination and the authors' writing it was just a little too much for me. If you like graphic, twisted and deranged books ... this one is definitely for you.

From I heard from narration, Joe Hempel was amazing as he always is. He brings the story and characters for life for you and again, I think that was my problem.

Dark, Twisted with Great Narration

Would you listen to Lucifer's Children again? Why?

Although the book had objectionable elements, I did enjoy Joe's Narration. The book was easy to follow, and had it's share of horror.

Have you listened to any of Joe Hempel’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Joe did a great job as always. He made the characters come to life, with such ease and precision.

Any additional comments?

This is DARK. Not for everyone.

Warning, this book is like an accident where you know there will be horror, but you have to look at it anyway.
