Publisher's Summary

"Find Patrick Lahm. Tell him it has her."

When a serial killer is found dead in the woods outside the quiet town of Darville, with scratches across his face, and his head impaled on a shovel, Patrick Lahm and Jimmy Frey are called back to Connecticut. Living as fugitives, and constantly moving from place to place, it is a call they have been praying for in their tedious search for the monster that started it all, and tore their lives apart.

But Darville is not as peaceful as it seems, and the sins of the many cannot remain hidden forever. Patrick and Jimmy quickly realize that, despite their best laid plans, things can go terribly wrong. As darkness descends on the small New England town, the evil that had once brought misery upon the guests of the Kurtain Motel, finds its place amongst the wicked, and promises them salvation.

All they have to do is confess.

Great ending.

Book 3 sees Patrick and Jimmy on the hunt for the evil that took over Jimmy's mother. Patrick gets a call from a friend to tell them about a serial killer being killed near where he lives, Darville. After the events at the Kurtain Motel in the last book, Patrick is wanted by the police so is trying to keep a low profile, but he has no choice but to go to Darville and investigate.

This one is hard to summarise simply because this is book 3 and I would spoil things for both book 2 and this one. So I'll just say that the plot of this was great. It wraps up a lot of the questions from the other books, plus it's a lot darker. Poor Patrick is stuck in the cell with the spiders!!! *Shiver* The plot of the overall series is quite complex and twisty, but worth it if you stick with it. I was blown away with parts!!

Jimmy and Patrick have their work cut out for them and things come to a head. I was rooting for them the whole way through and was satisfied with the ending!! So in all, a great ending and I need to check out more from this author.

Thom Bowers read this well and gave a great performance. He is easy to listen to and brought the story alive.

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

Purgatory ?

I liked this story. It was a continuation of the story of Patrick and Jimmy. This story was very well narrated. I just wished that we would find out what happened to Jimmy and Philip. I will keep reading stories from this author.

Another great one

I would have liked for him to find Jimmy in the end but Jimmy is better with the other guy.

Better than the 2nd book

The action and story were, thankfully, better than the 2nd book but still not good enough for me. I gave this 3 stars for all the things Nasser left unsaid.

Once again characters were introduced and some tantalizing tidbits of background was given but never explained. Seemingly worthless information was given in the beginning but was never later touched on. And several times the people from the Kurtain Motel were called friends of each other. Seems ridiculous to call people you don't know and whom you didn't like during the incident "friends."

We never find out what happened to Tara to put her in the Soul Collector's power. We never really find out what happened between her and Harold at the end of book 2. Now there's a new character - Philip - introduced and given what looks to be a solid part but hardly any information on him is given. Who is he? What is it about him that's important? More questions spring to mind but there are no answers.

The ending was open, making me think there will be more books for this series but I thought it was supposed to be a trilogy. ??? If this book is truly the end of the series then I'd detract a star because nothing about the ending is an end. If anything it opens the door to more books. Questions have been raised without much being answered. Nasser doesn't seem to likje answering questions though. Based off of this series, he much prefers creating the questions.

One more thing...If I hear the word "confess" one more time I'll scream.

A good read

The book was a good read, or rather listen. Thom Bowers does an excellent job on the narration.

Last Confess

I purchased and read this 3nd in series book in June, and given audiobook in September by Scare Street (THANK YOU) it is so much better to listen too. I love horror and ghosts stories. Loved the characters of Patrick, Jimmy, Jack, Philip and all of the characters from Kurtain Motel and Refuge continue in this book. Patrick and Jimmy are trying to rescue Tara in Purgatory in Darville. Patrick needs to find Jimmy and heads to the Heldon Manor. The epilog hints there could be another series with Philip and Jimmy (hope so). This book was suspenseful, scary, creepy and thrilling better than the Slaughter series. Recommend to anyone who enjoys horror/supernatural books.

BRILLIANT

The whole series from start to finish is simply addictive. Very original. Flows well. This series has made me want to read everything this other writes. Brilliant!
