Publisher's summary

The New York Times best-selling author of The Event Group series launches a new series of paranormal thrillers just in time for Halloween.

Built at the turn of the 20th century by one of the richest and most powerful men in the world, tucked away in the pristine Pocono Mountains, Summer Place, a retreat for the rich and famous, seems the very essence of charm and beauty, "a scene borrowed from a wondrous fairy tale of gingerbread houses, bright forests, and glowing, sunny meadows". But behind the yellow and white-trimmed exterior lurks an evil waiting to devour the unwary.

Seven years ago Professor Gabriel Kennedy's investigation into paranormal activity at Summer Place ended in tragedy and destroyed his career. Now Kelly Delaphoy, the ambitious producer of a top-rated ghost-hunting television series, is determined to make Summer Place the centerpiece of an epic live broadcast on Halloween night. To ensure success she needs help from the one man who has come face-to-face with the evil that dwells in Summer Place, a man still haunted by the ghosts of his own failure. Disgraced and alienated from the academic community, Kennedy wants nothing to do with the event. But Summer Place has other plans.

As Summer Place grows stronger, Kennedy, along with the paranormal ghost hunting team, The Supernaturals, sets out to confront and, if possible, destroy the evil presence dwelling there.

Reader needs to stop and take a breath...

... and pause for scene transitions. Hampered an otherwise great story. Bloody good haunted house tale.

Kept me listening late into the nights!

Thoroughly enjoyable ghost story with an ending I didn't see coming. Will definitely be getting the next one.

A Ghost Hunt Movie Sparked by Words

Stephen R. Thorne did a great job with the wide range of characters that make up the story. If you are in the mood for an engaging fireside tale with a taunting evil, a mystery and a diverse cast, you should snag this book because it has all of that and more. The characters truly drive the story and they will be the main reason you will want to stick around until the very end. The author mixed some very original individuals with a batch of contemporary buttheads. Overall, this story had the right mix of spook, action, supernatural slants and edgy horror that was very entertaining.

Many Characters wow

I enjoyed the premise of this for the most part. the 3mding was a little unclear. bad things happened they got the proof they wanted but they all got fired. not sure what that's about. 🤔 the story was pretty good, I didn't expect the twist. there were alot of people to keep track of so that was annoying. otherwise pretty good book. the narrator wasn't right for this story. he didn't make it sound creepy at all. a good narrator can really sell a story. sorry for grammar errors. I am typing really quick in my phone.

Long - but good

First off - this is a very long book. Like, you put it on and road-trip. Or do some other project that takes a couple of days. I am not really sure WHY this book is so long, it definitely could have been cut down.
But if you have the time to commit, it's a good listen. I liked the reality show aspect, although there were so many different characters I sometimes forgot who was what. HOWEVER - that doesn't really matter. As long as you know the main guys, you're good.
Overall I enjoyed it, and I would recommend to somebody else looking for a good old-fashioned ghost story/haunted house book.

Awesome!

Loved the book! One of the best suspenseful books I’ve read in a long time. Was on the edge of my seat the last half of the book and couldn’t stop listening! Highly recommend for story and narration.

A great Howl-ween listen

Throne’s narration is nothing less the spectacular. Even the variance in voice for the Native American accent adds something special. He has moved to the top of my list of favorites.

The story interesting enough to keep you actively listening.

Kind of Scary

The premise of the book sounded hokey to me, but I tried it anyway. The story is about a film crew following a ghost hunting group around an old house with a dark history. It moves quickly enough, but being a HUGE fan of horror, I wasn't terribly impressed. There are a lot of strange goings-on but nothing terrifying. It was a lot of poltergeist type activity, without really seeing what was causing the problem. This might make a better movie than a book. If you are looking for something really scary, I'm not sure this is it, but it's not bad. As I said, it has a lot going on, which is more than I can say about other books I tried which were reviewed as terrifying but fell way short (like Asylum by Ambrose Ibsen).
This is NOT a bad listen, but it's not going to terrify you.

awesome

All can say, or ask is, when is the next one coming out...a part 2.

Entertaining!

Great storyline and interesting characters. Will definitely listen to the next in the series. #tagsgiving #sweepstakes
