About this listen

An island oasis turns deadly when a terrifying legend threatens to kill off visitors one by one in this haunting novel from the highly acclaimed author of The Girl from the Well and the Bone Witch trilogy.

Pristine beaches, lush greenery, and perfect weather, the island of Kisapmata would be the vacation destination…if not for the curse. The Filipino locals speak of it in hushed voices and refuse to step foot on the island. They know the lives it has claimed. They won’t be next.

A Hollywood film crew won’t be dissuaded. Legend claims a Dreamer god sleeps, waiting to grant unimaginable powers in exchange for eight sacrifices. The producers are determined to document the evidence. And they convince Alon, a local teen, to be their guide.

Within minutes of their arrival, a giant sinkhole appears, revealing a giant balete tree with a mummified corpse entwined in its gnarled branches. And the crew start seeing strange visions. Alon knows they are falling victim to the island’s curse. If Alon can’t convince them to leave, there is no telling who will survive. Or how much the Dreamer god will destroy …

La narracion es muy buena, la historia nunca me acabo de atrapar y el tinte woke de inclusión lo hizo menos disfrutable, si no tienen nada que escuchar esto los puede entretener. Definitivamente no se siente como Rin Chupeko en the Bone witch

Buena narración con un toque woke

The story is slow at first, but stay with it! It has crazy twists and turns. It’s scary, and dramatic, and sad, but well worth a good listen.

Great read!

I really wanted to like this book and was super interested in the horror aspect. I feel like there was teen romance thrown in that was completely unnecessary. I feel like it completely took away from the story. I stuck it out and got thru the whole book but there were multiple times during the scenes with the nonsense teens that I really contemplated not continuing. Loved the creativity with the dewata and monsters but was really irritated by the stupid teen romance angle...

Romance?

Amazing story

The book itself was okay. I enjoyed their other books more, but they can't all be bangers. My issue is with the edit on the recording. There were many times throughout the reading that the voice actor would do a take and then clearly read the line again to correct a mistake or to give different inflection and all of that was left in the final cut.

Recording needs a re-edit

This was an entertaining listen, but was predictable. I did enjoy the concepts behind the waking god on the island and the interaction with the filming cast/crew
Narrator does a good job.

Decent but not standout

Another great story by Rin Chupeco! even though the story itself was amazing, I do wish that the audio had been looked over better. There were times when the narrator would stop and re read something or try again on pronunciation or something along those lines. It was distracting, one or two times I think I could have lived with, but it seemed to happen pretty frequently which pulled me from the storyline and could cause for confusion when things are being re read. Other than that, I loved the storyline and the characters. This book will not end the way you think, and I think it had a great twist in the end.

Another Hit!

I loved how Pacheco made me feel as if I was right there with the characters on island. She has a way with words!

Positive feelings about the characters

creepy and brilliant
