Careful What You Wish For

The Damned Review puts me in mind of Nancy Drew and Supernatural. This first book is phenomenal and had me hooked from the first chapter. I need to know more about what happened and who or what the mysterious duo really are. I have my suspicions, but I am going to keep that to myself for now. I am salivating, waiting for book two because book one definitely left a hunger or thirst for the truth. The truth may be out there, but do you really want to come face to face with it! If you love Supernatural, this book is definitely for you. I received this book for free upon my request. I am voluntarily leaving my honest and unbiased review here of my own volition.

Very Intriguing Story

This is a quick listen that really gets you interested from the beginning. The pacing is really nice and it did not lull about. The narrative is full of descriptive details that really help you visualize the story. Finally, the cliffhanger ending had me gasping. I need to know what’s going to happen next.

Leaves you wanting more!

This short story was immensely intriguing. A writer who has been having issues with bad reviews is contacted by a stranger for some help. This is an intro to a series that I can't wait to read!

Very enjoyable short story, left me wanting more!

This was a great short story, I listened to it while I cooked dinner today. The narrator’s (Elah) voice was relaxing to listen to but captivating! I usually struggle to pay attention during audiobooks but I had no problem at all listening to this one. I thoroughly enjoyed this one.

No spoilers here:
The story is about a writer named Holly and she’s been having a hard time working through some of the negative reviews she’s been receiving. A stranger reaches out to her to offer help regarding this one particular bad review and then Holly finds herself in a bit of a curious situation after that.

The ending definitely left me on a cliff hanger and wanting more. I will definitely be continuing this series!

Every Writers Nightmare as Horror Story

Love the narrator’s voice, and so much of the tale strikes home to every writer’s heart. Great story! Loved it.

Captivating

This short thriller kept my interest piqued the entire time and left me wanting more. I enjoyed the narrator for this one as well.

Unique concept that hooks you in

From start to finish, this novella had me completely captivated. The intricate plot kept me guessing at every turn, and the chilling atmosphere had me on the edge of my seat throughout. What truly sets this story apart, however, is the remarkable narration by Elah. Her voice skillfully transitions from anxious to sinister, drawing listeners deeper into the mystery with every word.

The concept is brilliantly executed, blending thrills and mystery seamlessly to create an unforgettable reading experience. Just when I thought I had it all figured out, the story delivered a jaw-dropping cliffhanger that left me eagerly anticipating the next installment.

Fun, quick listen

This story begins with a common online problem, when a person is unfairly targeted online with extreme negativity. I thought that was a really great premise that is easy to relate to. It drew me in quickly. Then it adds mystery and what I would consider to be paranormal intrigue

This was fun for me to listen to. It's an interesting hook for the series and has me curious about where it will go from here.

The narration was clear and easy to understand at all times, even when listening in a noisy environment.

Be Wary of Strange People

Quick listen that holds your attention to the end but leaves you wanting more. A writer is getting bad reviews online and is not sure what to do. Coincidentally, a stranger offers to help, which leads to strange things beginning to happen.

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review.
