About this listen

Think Sleepy Hollow meets nostalgic 00s slasher vibes but make it sexy with a modern day gothic strip club & revenge plot that will make you scream...

Ah, Halloween…what a delightfully wicked time of year.

But for some people, like Blair Van Tassel, it comes with a haunting reminder of the past she is trying to put behind her.

And this Halloween, it marks the 15th anniversary of when she set up her Instant Messenger friend: Boogeyman_Of_Haddonfield_31to take the fall for a crime she committed.

She thought her plan was fool proof. Lure him to the scene of the crime just in time for him to leave fingerprints on the weapon, leading the murderous trail that she started to him.

But that’s the thing with the internet.

Do you ever really know who is on the other side of the screen?

Can you even fathom what domino effect can begin by simply screwing with the wrong person?

These are things Blair never considered.

She thought she set up Boogeyman_Of_Haddonfield_31 but what she really started was a war with Maddox Crane.

The mad man of Sleepy Hollow. Who has an insatiable taste for blood.

And in a town that thrives on a good fright, Blair better hope that her screams are heard and aren’t buried within the landscape of Halloween night.

That is, if she even survives it.

The Trick is intended for listeners 18+. For a full list of CW please see the beginning of the book or the authors website.

A match made in sexy hell

Well this was a little Halloween delight 😈 The Trick was my first NJ Weeks book and I was pleasantly surprised! I would say if you’re a fan of Butcher & Blackbird but you want/need/are ready for more depravity… this one is for you! I love the Sleepy Hollow references with our main characters: Blair Van Tassel and Maddox Crane. These two are explosive but seem to be fated due to their “proclivities” and love for slasher films. Maddox’s stalker/obsessed nature is delicious as he hunts Blair. The plot is deeper than you think at first when you realize their initial meeting actually happened 15 years ago… and he’s been chasing her ever since. Both refuse to back down but the spice 🥵🥵😮‍💨😮‍💨 these two are fire. I loved the subtle “twist” at the end, I thought it was perfect. I thought Daphne Fields and Tommy Aguilar did a fantastic job with the duet narration!

Unhinged perfection

Both narrators do such an incredible job bringing the characters to life! They capture the unhinged crazy moments and yet the super cute or silly ones! I’m beyond obsessed with how this turned out! I already loved the book and this audiobook took it to another level!

LOVE A GOOD STALKER STORY

This book was 5 stars just for the story, but having it read to me by these amazing narrators!!! Just made it that much better.

Blair and Maddox are both insane, and together they are a toxic masterpiece that must be experienced. I loved this audiobook from beginning to end.

Beautiful story

This story gets me choked up every time. The pet names, the banter, and the thrill of the chase. The voice actors did this story justice and were still able to make me tear up just like I did the first time I read the book. The twists and turns at the very end will have you second guessing everything. It had an amazing ending and it is totally worth the listen!

great plot twist, great intro

3 / 5 stars

This book has an interesting plot twist and a very unique and original plot line. I do think there were parts of it that were a little repetitive and I did contemplate DNFing it once because it got slow in the middle, but the premise and the suspense was so good that I held on for the ride. I loved the ending, and the beginning was absolutely thrilling.
