Reviled

De: Roberto Scarlato

Narrado por: Jason Breckner

Deep in the Wisconsin woods, a killer waited patiently.

On a cold night in 1999, the notorious Donnie Torr went down in a hail of gunfire. The threat to the town was supposedly eliminated. Now, in 2002, local writer James Dorrell has just purchased a leather jacket at the thrift store. He knows its getting colder, bleaker as the weather grows gray. But what he doesn't know is that the killer lived on, connected to the very vessel of the jacket that James now owns.

With the leather fusing to his skin, his thoughts being perpetrated with malicious fantasies, and his sudden habit of sleep walking, James must discover how the killer accomplished such a curse and why he chose James to do his bidding. Better yet, James will have to figure out an ending for this horrifying tale...that might be his own.

Gripping Tale

I received this audio book for free in exchange for my honest review. This well written story with it's excellent narration will grip you from the very beginning and not let go till the end.

Unexpectedly entertaining

I don't normally like these types of stories but I have to say, the author proved me wrong. The tale is riveting and captivating.

Great Story Idea

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

The line I found most original was "the fog kidnapped the sun." The story idea was very original, but the execution was choppy with unbelievable dialogs. There were a few small editing quirks, too. The last few chapters were the best part, making it worth the listen.

Basically, Don, an infant was abandoned to a Catholic orphanage and grew up to revile and murder all women because of the lack of maternal love. Somehow, unexplained, he became versed enough in witchcraft to continue his malicious hatred even after death through projecting into inanimate objects. His leather jacket waited for a wearer and upon donning it, evil tendrils fastened themselves into James' flesh making it impossible to remove the coat. As time passed, Don took over more of James as he frantically searched for a way to disengage himself. In the end, the old cliche "love conquers all" wins. But wait... who is hiding in the sunglasses?

Initially I was drawn in by the intriguing possibilities, but by the middle, I still felt no real connection to any of the characters and scenes became disconnected. For one example, a lot of attention was focused on a cop who was obsessed with Don but other than a result of one of his ploys, he never connected with James, and his character was left adrift...

Roberto, you should have narrated your book. Jason is good, but he didn't pull off the depth of feelings needed for the fear, despair, and anger that permeated James.

👏🏻 I applaud the attempt.
