Story4 out of 5 stars 115
The small town of Villejeune, Florida, lies far enough from the inquisitive eyes of strangers and even the reaches of the law that a community with its own customs, rituals, and deadly rites has grown there. In order to start fresh after a failed job prospect and unexpected emotional trauma for their teenage daughter, Ted and Mary Anderson have returned home to Villejeune, unaware of the growing malevolence there. Soon, they are thrust into a nightmare as their sweet but troubled daughter, Kelly, is pulled into the darkness that seems to have consumed the town.

Story4 out of 5 stars 115
The day that the iron doors of the old mill in Westover, Massachusetts, closed forever is a day that still haunts the sleepy town’s residents. On that fateful day 100 years ago, 11 people died in a fearsome fire, and since then, no one has dared to revisit the mill or the dark secrets locked inside it. Now, a member of the once-powerful Sturgess family has aspirations to reopen the mill. Little does Philip Sturgess know that by unlocking the padlock he is also unlocking horrible secrets from the past. There are forces at work that will do their best to see the mill doors stay tightly closed.

It has waited seven years for someone to come back to the rambling lakeside house called Pinecrest, which has stood empty since its last owner went missing. For upscale Chicago couple Dan and Merrill Brewster, the old midwestern manse is an ideal retreat, and for their kids, Eric and Marci, it's the perfect place to spend a lazy summer exploring.

Here, where sudden storms unleash the murderous rage of wind and sea, stands the Devereaux mansion, a once-great plantation house now crumbling amid ancient oaks dripping with Spanish moss. Here, Marguerite Devereaux, 50 and childless, has cast off her dreams to care for her aged, demanding mother.

Some swear he is a terrifying spirit returned to avenge the past. And soon...very soon...some will come to believe that Nathaniel lives still - darkly, horrifyingly real. Nathaniel.

For more than three decades John Saul has haunted the New York Times best seller list - and listeners imaginations - with his chilling tales of psychological suspense and supernatural horror. His instinct for striking the deepest chords of fear in our hearts and minds is unerring, and his gift for steering a tale from the light of day into the darkest depths of nightmare is at its harrowing best in House of Reckoning.

a new phobia?
I have never been afraid of any insects, in my entire life. but, after reading this book, for the next week every time I saw a bee, my heart skipped a beat and I almost freaked out. i love John Sauls books, ever since i picked up the first book i ever read of his, "The Devil's Labyrinth." when I was 12 or 13. havent been able to put his books down yet, and dont suspect I ever will.

This story repeats itself A LOT
If you’ve listened to books by John Saul before, how does this one compare?
I love John Saul, but... this book is always repeating the SAME thing. Which, in my opinion makes the story seem less interesting as I have already heard/read the same thing over and over again.
What aspect of Tanya Eby’s performance would you have changed?
Tanya Eby's performance was very clear and clean. Very good!
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Homing?
Stop the re-hash over and over again. Otherwise it was a great story.
Any additional comments?
It was a great story, very well written. EXCEPT the repeating... what was to me a A+ book was sadly dropped down to a B.. pushing a C.

NOT what was expected
Would you try another book from John Saul and/or Tanya Eby?
yes
What could John Saul have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Not sure this one could be enjoyable - but better details of what it is about would have helped me choose NOT to purchase it.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
No - I love Tonya Eby
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Homing?
The WHOLE book
Any additional comments?
This is more of a syfi and not my cup of tea

Predictable
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
The idea was very interesting. I can absolutely see big industry testing like this and the average person would have no idea it is happening.
What about Tanya Eby’s performance did you like?
How she was able to portray the male characters voices.
Do you think The Homing needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
No, it was strange enough with adding a follow up to it
Any additional comments?
It is your typical John Saul book, centers around teenagers and kids. It is an alright listen, there were parts where my mind started to wonder and I would have to rewind. Typical single mom, single dad, meet and combine families in the beginning. Lots of teenage angst.
