The Melting: A Science Fiction Horror Post-Apocalyptic Survival Thriller

They Came with the Snow, Book 2

By: Christopher Coleman

Narrated by: Terry Murtha

The quest is no longer just to survive, it's to escape.

The snow is melting, and the crabs are growing more violent.

At the base of a blocked-off bridge spanning the South River, Dominic and his friends plan a daunting journey to flee Warren County and the monsters that came when the snow fell.

But the crabs aren't the only danger they face.

There are other forces at work, forces with a secret as inhuman and terrifying as the crabs themselves.

And these forces are determined to never let the group leave.

The Melting.

The characters were well thought out and interesting. The book itself was hard to put down.bIwas always turning the pace thinking the end was coming but it never did. So fast paced and holds you to the very end. Great book!

Great story, poor editing

I still gave this 4 stars because I enjoyed both the narration and writing. So much so that it was enough to overlook the poor editing. Most books can't draw me in as much as this short series did. I think that's why I found I could overlook the editing mistakes. The writing was on point as was the narration. As for lack of voices, I find some narrators are great at multiple voices and some aren't. What separates the great narrators from bad isn't the number of unique voices, but how they narrate the story and handle other characters. Terry nails this and it shows. If you enjoy solid horror stories this is definitely the book for you.

EDITING!!!!

This could have been an excellent book however there was absolutely no attempt made at editing or even rereading the narrators work. Great voice but mispronounced words, and constant repetition of sentences. I was given the impression that the narrator just assumed that the editor, whoever that wasn’t, would delete the repeated sentence. The author has some great story ideas but has a lot of growing to do on putting a book together. Painfully disappointing.

Could have been better

The story was “ok” but the narration was so monotone. The worst part was the editing & splicing often over lapped or repeated-not once or twice but several times all throughout the production.
Story concept was good but lacked depth of characters. Seems like an inexperienced writer or he was in a rush to finish the work. I had high hopes because the first in the series “They came with the snow” had so much potential.

Fantastic novel full of intrigue!

The author has written another superb novel! The characters are superb! The narration is great if you don't count the repeat of several sentences!
