A solid and taught thriller

Kaine weaves a tight and intense tale of hunter vs hunted. Who will win when the an unstoppable force comes? Unforgiving and emotionless. This is definitely a great read, the narrator is fantastic and helps make it an experience.

pretty good book

I was given this book for free from audiobook boom and asked to leave an unbiased review for the author and narrator.
The story was pretty good and started out strong. The narrator was pretty good too

Surprisingly Solid Survival Slasher

3.5 The trouble with Friday the 13th rip-offs is they always feel the need to add some kind of elaborate metaphor when people want an old-school, violent action movie. So the fact that Pursuit is an old-school "Jason meets The Terminator" slasher is refreshing. This one kind of reminds me of Cameron Roubique’s Kill River series in that it's unpretentious and focused on action and character. A supernatural zombie biker becomes fixated on a pair of newlyweds and makes their life a living hell with a high body count. The biker details were interesting, the police station scene was memorable, and just good fun.

Suspenseful

I’ve listened to several audiobooks but this is one I really think they should make into a movie. I would love to see this on the big screen. I’m a huge horror fan and this was good horror.

Reminded me of a Riley Sager novel

**Pre-listen Impressions: Short Horror book with strong slasher vibes. Summary reminds me of a cross between the hitcher and Joyride (movies). Feeling both hopeful and reluctant.

**Initial Impression: Very underwhelmed for the 1st few chapters.

**Mid-Listen Impression: Story picks up from the 2nd act. Lots of action, lots of violence and carnage. I believe the novel earned its "Horror" creds here. While I didnt personally find it scary or horrifying. I cant lock down the exact reason, but I believe the narrators voice had alot to do with it. I feel like a deep voiced slightly ominous narrator really hammers home the horror.

**Post-listen impressions: I just listened to a cross between the Hitcher, Joyride, and The Terminator written by Riley Sager.

**Story: 3 Stars (Story was good. There seemed to be back story that didnt go anywhere, while also having potentially useful other backstories that werent fully formed. A solid horror story.)

**Narrator: 3 Stars (The narrators voice is beautiful and clear. She does multiple voices well. I just cant imagine her voice stirring fear in me, regardless of what she read.)

**Over All: 3 Stars

**I recieved this book for free in exchange for an honest review.

Ghost rider meets the terminator

What do you get when combine the two? A fun pursuit!!! This was a solid read about a girl being pursued by a guy on a motorcycle, only he’s so much more than that!
