Surprisingly good.

There were a couple trips where I cringed...such as, "first time I craved a drink" when the protagonist had mentioned he craved a drink before...but all in all, very well done. Subtle. I downloaded this because it was free and I usually use free included with my membership to listen to while I am working. I actually had to stop this a few times and rewind because I wanted to hear the last plot twist unlike most of the freebies which you can pick back up just about anywhere like a bad soap opera. Had to rewind the ending a few times...won't say more. I might spend a credit on this author's other books. It's a good read.

Loved hearing Joshua Jackson

Interesting story concept. I was drawn to this book because of Joshua Jackson. I hope he chooses to do more narrating. I will give this author another read.

Traumatized

Sorry to be negative but I found so many parts of this to be disturbing, vile, upsetting and nightmare inducing. I didn’t even finish it even though I wanted to know what happened. But I could not take the disgusting grossness of much of it. Blessings to the author and apologies for my honesty.

Fantastic Book

This is one of the most suspenseful books that I have I my library. The narrator was a big part of making this book enjoyable.

Excellent!

Quality content as a member benefit!!! This one is a prince, too bad there were so many frogs beforehand.

Amazed

This is not my typical type of book.... But within a few chapters I was hooked. Joshua Jackson's storytelling it's just perfect.

well that was terrifying

scary and hard to put down! a good story that felt a little too real at times! seriously, who wasn't afraid to open their eyes as a kid when they were alone in the dark?

Well worth a listen.

Mr. Pyper has crafted a solid supernatural mystery. Full of depth, and nuance. What I enjoyed most was the Pyper's exploration of the effects of "the gift" on the recipient. Although the tone was different, it reminded me of "Odd Thomas". Joshua Jackson gave a respectable reading, though at times I had to rewind to be sure who had said what. But better that than suffering through the pain of falsetto female voices!

Joshua Jackson brought an ok story to life!

The reading of this story was incredible! The inflection and pauses, voices, all perfect and created a compelling and intriguing listening experience. You felt the story come alive because of the reading of it so intuitive. The story was ok, not bad but just ok, lots of plot holes, and cringe worthy lines. But Joshua Jackson took an ok story and made it a can't stop listen. Disappointed it's over and hope Joshua Jackson decides to breath life into many more stories in the future.

Yow!

The story was consistently engaging and the narrator’s skill set complemented the intense subject matter. What a wild ride! The conclusion did not disappoint. Thank you!

Found it hard to Listen.

I quite liked the story line,but found it really difficult to tell the difference between the characters

Brilliant

This is just brilliant. Gripping throughout and Joshua Jackson is the perfect Nate Russo.
This is the first Andrew Pyper book I’ve heard/ read…off to find more!!

perfect casting

Interesting supernatural crime thriller. Joshua Jackson perfectly cast as protagonist, though maybe not as skilled at bringing the rest of the characters to light as some of the more regular narrators but the story is really a one man show anyway.

Not my usual thing but enjoyable

I expected this to be a detective story with a psychic twist, it turned out to be more of a mixture than that. I normally like books grounded in reality, but this was well written and the story carried me along. There are some clever twists, an unexpected ending, and it’s a book that leaves you thinking

What an amazing story!

This book had me hanging on every word from the beginning.
The narrator has a great voice and told the story so well, he was completely believable in this role.
I will be looking out for this author again especially if his books are read by Joshua Jackson!!!

I did enjoy it

I expected more from the book I think. More scary? No surprise that Joshua Jackson was excellent.

Wow!

I could not stop listening to this book! Found it refreshingly different and so compelling. Wondering if this is a one off or the start of a series - hope its the latter!

an interesting story

it was a great book with an original story and a nice voice to listen to

Best book I’ve listened to in a long time!

Had me hooked from the first
Very clever book.
Highly recommended.
Narrator was very good.

Really Enjoyed it.

I really enjoyed this book. It was different and kept me occupied until the end. I thought he may have left it open for a sequel but it doesn't look that way.May be wrong. I'll wait to be surprised . I will definitely look out for other books by this author.
