Sin

Any additional comments?

This is a very good novella. It's about a teen couple, Ryan and Zoe, who decide to go camping, only for it to rain on them, so they leave and stumble on a mysterious house with an odd couple. The narrator did a great job bringing the characters and story to life.

Good but Short Horror

I really enjoyed this horror thriller it was dark and suspenseful. Ryan and Zoey are teenagers who were out camping until it started out raining and sought out refuse in old house then it all started, but wish it was longer. Narration was good. Recommend to anyone who enjoys short horror.I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher. THANK YOU!

A Horror Story With Plenty Of Twists And Turns.

“Sin” is an excellent, fast-paced, short horror story. The story takes place in small town nowhere. It revolves around two high school students, Zoe and Ryan. The mother of one of their classmates is already missing when the story begins, but they are such typical bored teenagers that the fact that something wrong is going on in their town doesn’t even register to them as a red flag. Zoe and Ryan set up appropriate lies and sneak away from their homes to go camping in the woods over the weekend. Everything camping related goes wrong? A terrible storm hits and a bad flood occurs. The two end up running for shelter. They soon come across the clichéd, isolated, ominous house in the woods. And thus, the stage is set. Author, Patrick Reuman made sure his characters had never seen a horror movie in their lives because Zoe and Ryan make every horror movie mistake there is to make.

With all that being said, “Sin” still offers a bunch of twists that move the story along in spite of all the bad horror movie decisions. Add the masterful narration provided by Joe Hempel and you have a short story that is definitely worth your time. Finally, this audiobook was provided by the narrator at no cost in exchange for an honest review, courtesy of Audio Book Boom.

Needs More

Clearly, with a short story there will be limited story development. Understanding that, there is plenty of early development. The problem is that the ending is rushed. So much happens throughout the story, some of which was inconsequential, that to have it end so abruptly is disappointing. The story overall is pretty good, with some ironic elements that make it fun. The ending, which isn’t bad, just underdeveloped, costs the story a full star.

Joe Hempel is a very good narrator. He just seemed a bit limited with this story. I have enjoyed his work in the past, but he just seemed to have less to work with and wasn’t able to showcase his talent as much.
