Publisher's summary

"Iron...and...salt," whispers the old man. The dead old man. "Hurry or it will be too late...."

In a bid to escape the stresses of city life, Brian Roy moves his family out into the country, a decision that will forever thrust him into the chilling world of ghosts....

This digital box set contains all of the six thrilling supernatural novels in this best-selling series:

Moving In: The utopia of a peaceful country oasis is brutally shattered when Brian discovers a dead body in the woods, and his home has been infiltrated by murderous ghosts. Perhaps this wasn’t the change he was looking for, but Brian prays that he’s up to the challenge.

The Dunewalkers: William Engberg moves into a house by the shore to escape his tragic past. Unfortunately, he finds a legion of unwanted guests in his new home: ghosts. Determined to beat them, he enlists the help of ghost hunter Brian Roy, who is armed with a rare journal on how to vanquish the dead.

Middlebury Sanitarium: Brian Roy leads a successful ghost hunting organization called The Leonidas Group, but he may have finally met his match against the evil spirits lurking in Middlebury Sanitarium. Encountering everything from a vengeful king to lost souls still fighting WWI, Brian and his team have their hands full.

The First Church: In his latest adventure, Brian Roy will fight the ghosts of headless Japanese soldiers wreaking havoc in a New Hampshire church. They have indiscriminately murdered and maimed everyone from children to police officers, and the ghosts’ thirst for vengeance is as insatiable as their thirst for saké.

The Paupers’ Crypt: Brian Roy succumbs to the stress of his job and gives himself a break by taking up work as a superintendent at Woods Cemetery. At first, he couldn’t be happier...until dead people rear their grisly heads and grasping hands, pulling him back into his old job of ghost hunting.

The Academy: Brian’s exhaustion is deeper than ever before. But when he finds out his cousin Mitchell, the principal of the academy, is running into some ghostly trouble, he races against time to stop them.

Mild Ghost Hunters Story

The ghosts are so obvious that they are more like living people with extra powers and really bad attitudes. This isn't deep or full of terror but it's a nice mild listen when you don't have a lot of energy to put into anything deep. The narrator's slow speaking style required speeding up to make it bearable. Once the speed is increased he's OK but the women's voices are a mess.

MUST READ

This book kept you interested and never had a dull moment. it was well written and the over book was perfect

big shane ryan fan

probably would've be five stars if i hadn't heard Berkley street first. overall good story :)

Terrible narrator

This book could have been creepy and scary if that got someone e to read it with any skill. the writing is decent but the only way I could stomach the narration is to playback at 150 speed. There were some really scary parts or they would have been if the narrator wasn't reading it like a text book.

Great

Great stories, not so hot writing. Too many he said, she said. Narrator cannot perform women voice.

slow

Reading was so slow I literally ran it at 300% to have it at a good clip. I usually play at 135-165%

Six books?! One credit?!! Outstanding!!

Six books, one credit, all here for one epic road trip. I love Ripley’s creepy creative brain!

Amazing! Loved it!

Excellent stories and an excellent narration! It was like watching a movie in my head.

Awesome Story! Listen at 1.25x speed...

EDITED REVIEW: Give this series some time if you are not enjoying it at first. And If you are not enjoying it, look down at the next paragraph. This series is seriously worth a listen. The stories are excellent and surprising. I would hear a cliche horror trope and be like "oh boy, another haunted asylum... *eye roll*" and then the author would turn the trope on its head and surprise me! Originally, I felt that the characters' response to the ghosts was weird and ruined the immersion but as the story continued I realized that the author was building a world so different from the usual ghost story and it really worked! The ghosts have personalities and actually become characters themselves, not just jump-scare machines. I don't know how else to describe it without giving away spoilers. The longer I listened the more I wanted. I just added all Ron Ripley's books to my wish list and I am so excited!

HOWEVER!! I am 5 books in out of 6 and either the narrator is not my type, or there is something off with the audio file. I have seen several other negative reviewer that mentioned this, so I know I am not the only one. If you listen to these books and can't get past how slow the narrator reads change your audio speed up to 1.25x. Seriously, it totally changes everything.

Original Review:
I have no idea how this is rated so high. The narrator sounds like a lobotomized robot. He... reads... sooooooo... sl...oowwww... I had the idea to speed up the track to 1.25x speed and now it sounds totally normal. I highly recommend this if you are going to try and listen to this series.

Aside from that, the story is okay. Not good, not bad. Certainly not scary. There is so much unnecessary chatter and detail. The characters respond to the ghosts in such a weird way. I mean, I guess it’s typical horror character fashion. The first time the main character has an interaction with a ghost he just tells it off like a naughty child. Kinda destroys any immersion. I am about 6 chapters in now. Not sure if I will continue or not. Kinda feel like I am wasting my time but I try to give every book a chance. This series is basically the book version of “meh”.

God awful narration

The narrator is terrible. Soooooo overdramatized and slow spoken. Bad bad bad bad bad bad.
