Publisher's Summary

These survivors must confront the darkest secrets of their past....

Beaten, bloodied, and barely alive, the survivors of Black River’s cursed families have been cut off from their bloodlines for violating old traditions. But they continue their battle to end the evil of the Bell Witch and release the town from her reign of terror.

Pursued by the witch’s minions, the group takes shelter in the Leviathan, an abandoned opera house built a century ago. Its corridors exude supernatural power, and they soon discover that the haunted old building was designed for a very special purpose...to trap the Bell Witch within its walls.

But something else lurks within the ancient structure, something they never imagined in their darkest nightmares. And as the enemies close in, one of the survivors must risk their life in a devil’s bargain with this sinister presence.

Or none them will survive the night....

Different.

Werewolves, water witches, demons and leviathans!! This series definitely took a turn that I didn't see coming.

Each character is nursing injuries but they still have to face demons etc in this to stay alive. I honestly don't know how they are still functioning!! Something is revealed to be true about Basheba that made me like her less but more intrigued about her upbring! I would love to see her backstory eventually. The plot took an interesting turn that makes me excited for the next one and I can't really say much more because there would be too many spoilers!!

I will say it's another darkly disturbing action packed read though! While there's plenty of gore, it's more the spookiness of the plot that makes it so dark. A lot happens and there's no let up but it makes for such an awesome read.

The narrator nails the performance. His tone and voices are impressive and he knows how to bring the atmosphere to life.

This one wasn't as exciting as the 1st books....

But, it was good. Bathesheba is my girl. I love the Bell Witch Series. They need to make it into a movie.

Very good

I like this author ive read other books by her. This one is no different. Great book. Awesome narration won't complain. I think ppl will enjoy it.

Great Entertainment and Charters

This series was a great break from all the craziness from this last year. I've listened to each book. I would love to see a TV show based on this.

sluggish then off like a rocket

while this one was shorter in feeling than the others in the series it was still a fun ride. often the story felt like I missed something in all the action, I still enjoyed the story. the Epilogue, tied things up nicely and definitely set up for the sequel.

couldn't stop listening

This books series is beyond amazing i couldn't put the books down! The fight chapters has so much imagery it's was absolutely stunning how much detail there was, LOVE IT!

Don't miss this series!! A+++

What can I say? I'm in love with this series.

I'm a Supernatural Horror fanatic. Monsters, ghosts, phantoms, interdementional demons,.. you name it. I love it.

I picked up this series on a whim. read a couple reviews and saw the omnibus. Was it a good value? 1000% in retrospect i would have been absolutely satisfied with buying all 6 books with credits. hands down.

Sarah Clancy brings the characters to life. Big time. Personalities, history, tendancies, likes dislikes, moods.. she paints the pictures. This is a series where you really get attached to the characters, which could mean attached to loving them, or hating them. but attached. Including, and especially, Buck. "The goodest boy of all good boys."

John Pirhalla is masterful in his delivery. Absolutely does great with various male and female voices, and quite a lot of them. Has a great range without having to make any sound just odd because he "ran out of voices". As a matter of fact he even nails a pretty tough accent in book 6. I rewound more than a few times just to hear Pirhalla's delivery on some random line. just stuff that made me smile. he's clearly a vocal artist.

The writing is done well, Friends in college called me "the grammar hammer" and it sticks with me to this day. I didnt catch a lot of odd words thrown in, try hard thesaurus stuff out of place, repeated phrases. Nothing odd really popped out at me as far as writing.

As far as content. Sarah paints a nice dark overall mood across, with plenty of humor and oddball things thrown in without getting ridiculous, i mean these are younger people/teenagers so they're bound to be silly at times, and she blends it in well. Laugh out loud a few times even. The supernatural aspects are eerie, spooke, scary, gross, haunting, startling, creative, big, small, horrific. i mean she checks off a lot of boxes in here. Each of the 6 books builds upon the previous, and with always something new. a new take on the adventure with new challenges and new events. The leviathan was great as it changes pace on the type of location much of it takes place in. none of the books felt like there was too much time taken in between where it felt disjointed, or felt forced like she had to put something out. just a great written plot and story.

I really can't say enough, in love with these books. I think the characters really shine. She paints them so well that you can empathize with all of the main characters and step into their shoes.

pick up the omnibus for a credit, it's a steal and you won't be sorry.

*Im leaving this review on each installment because im not big on talking about plot points in my review, im not giving a synopsis. and this review absolutely fits for each book, sarah clancy is masterful and john pirhalla delivers. in. each. one. A+

Another Awesome addition to an Amazing Series!

Great storyline that speeds along keeping you in your seat with a need to find out what happens next.

Watching someone play with plastic monster toys

These books stopped being horror in the last entry, which is honestly fine. Characters going through years of horror will become desensitized and will likely gain skills and become more proficient. However instead of embracing this fact this novel seeks to reassure you its still horror, while arming those same characters with, frankly, superpowers.
However failure to acknowledge its own theme is a nitpick. The real problem is the character moments. This is the book were the characters have to sit down and talk about all the elephants in the room and it is uncomfortable to say the least. Not to mention the fact that the principle badass character has been reduced to a screaming child that you now realize shouldn't logically be actually any good in a stand up fight. A fact that flat out ruins the tension in one of the most pivotal scenes. That, combined with the sudden shift in character personalities leaves this book an awkward mess, that only serves as a spring bored into the 'grand' finally of the series.

The Leviathan

Loved this book! It's action packed horror at its best ! I'll be anxiously awaiting the next book in this series.
