Publisher's summary

Evan Tormer is haunted.

His life has been shattered by events beyond his control and regret is his constant companion. His wife is gone, lost to an unbeatable cancer. His son has been mentally and physically handicapped by a tragic accident. He's been fired for using company funds in a failed attempt to save his wife's life.

On a whim, Evan accepts an invitation to housesit on a picturesque island in northern Minnesota. At first it seems like the perfect second chance for he and his son to recover and rebuild their life together. But there is something very, very wrong with the house and all that occupies it.

And worst of all, Evan doesn't know if the house is haunted...

Or if it's all in his mind.

Any additional comments?

After his wife succumbs to cancer, Evan and his son Shaun take a sabbatical to recuperate while housesitting at a friend’s place on a small island in Minnesota. Unfortunately, while the seclusion is good for Evan’s writing and for getting some time with his son, they soon realize that they are not entirely alone. Ghosts of the past resurface and have set their sights on Evan and Shaun. With the help of a pretty psychiatrist they will need to track down the history of the place and solve its mysteries before all of them are lost forever.

The narration for this one was very good and the pacing was perfect for the story line and really added to the creepy, dark atmosphere. The characterization was well thought out and the relationship between father and son was spot on. There were also a few twists that I didn’t see coming and I thought they were smartly done and not clichéd as they may have been with a lesser storyteller. A well done supernatural chiller.

Weird

Narrator was very good I thought and the story was enjoyable, somewhat believable, even gave me goosebumps at times. BUT the ending????? Weird!!!

Wonderfully scary, except for the ending.

Would you listen to The Waiting again? Why?

Any additional comments?

I've heard about author Joe Hart before, and am so glad Audible added a couple of his titles. I hope they add more! His writing is superior to other authors in this genre. The ending was disappointing, but nevertheless, I recommend this title to anyone who wants a good scare.

A Must Read

Not disappointed at all, and had a very surprising end. Enjoyed listening , and couldn't put it down. Suspenseful and thrilling.

10/10

Another hit for Joe Hart! I listen to these audiobooks at work, and this one was hard to stop listening to.

Joe Hart is a great writer!

I have not been disappointed in any of his books!! I loved it! Great book!

It was ok

Not a total waste of time. It was good, the ending could have been better but still ok. The narrator seems better suited for children’s books. He wasn’t horrible but a better narrator could have made the book a lot more interesting

Review of The Waiting

Where does The Waiting rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

One of the best.

Any additional comments?

I really liked the narrator. He had a great Irish accent for one of the characters that I thought was really charming. Additionally, I could really see this book being turned into a movie and I think it would be better than some of the scary movies I've seen recently.

new to Joe Hart

Eric did a fantastic job reading this one. The story is really good and entertaining. I had no idea where it was going but that’s ok! I liked that. The characters were great. I loved the ending. I think too few authors are willing to go there so when one does, I applaud them and don’t forget it. This was my first dose of Joe Hart but certainly will not be the last.
