Publisher's summary

Willow Burrow: the most isolated town in America. A small mining town tucked away against the base of the mountains in the upper reaches of the United States. After a cave-in at the mine reveals a previously undiscovered underground chamber, something is awoken from an ancient slumber. Cut off and being closed in on, the people of Willow Burrow will have to fight for their lives against the thing that has been stirred from the depths.

They Take Your Skin

This story took a while to grab my attention. The author introduces several seemingly unrelated characters in the first part of the book, so it was a bit hard to figure out where the story might be going. The premise of the book reminded me of old-time sci-fi movies/books and without any spoilers, the idea was a good one. A copper mine in a very remote town is the setting for the book, so when a sinkhole opens up, you have a feeling that something unsavory is going to come up out of that hole!

I would have liked to know more about the "monsters" in the book, but it was still pretty entertaining. Also, I never really related to any of the characters, so it was hard to care about them. The best character was Maggie, the dog. I would characterize this book as sci-fi horror, so if that is your type of book, you will probably enjoy this one.

The narrator nearly ruined this audiobook for me. Her pace was so slow that I had to speed it up in order to even begin to listen. I think I would have enjoyed the book more with another narrator with a faster pace and more emotion.

EBook may be better than audio

The narrator almost did me in, due to the slow pace. I had to listen at 1.6 to get it going.

I enjoyed the story and will likely grab the ebook to read. I will definitely try more books by this author!
