Story
For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

Story
"My name is Mike Ross and I'm a Ferryman - like in the Greek myth. I didn't ask for, or really want, the job, but I'm trying to make the best of it. Most ghosts are okay and just need a little help to get where they need to go. Unfortunately, there are lots of exceptions, like power-mad psychopaths, spirits still trying to fight battles long since lost, and the worst of the lot - the Skinwalkers. They live vicariously by possessing people and controlling them like puppet masters. Then they toss them aside when they've outlived their usefulness."

Where does Dead Eye: The Skinwalker Conspiracies rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This was a new author and type of Sci-fi Fiction for me, but amazingly my husband and I had just recently investigated Gettysburg ourselves and had "contact" with some of the same characters spirits as offered in the first book, specifically Strong Vincent at Little Round Top, so I gave it a try. I liked the premise, but the storyline had some flaws with historical characters in book 2. As usual, History, like the Bible, is based on translation and creative license by individuals, so History buffs should be open minded. I like that the main character developed his "gifts"further, but still anxious to see how Jim Bernheimer continues to mold and shape his newer abilities, if he expands to a 3rd book. Personally, I think 2 books in a series is a tease, so I hopes he keeps this one going and stays away from the "Superhero" AND Zombie non-sense.
What other book might you compare Dead Eye: The Skinwalker Conspiracies to and why?
Close to Joe Ledger from Jonathan Mayberry in descriptive fighting "action" style and use of multiple characters for assist, as well as personal back story which leads to unexpected disappointments. Also this story shares similarity with others via Awesome Narrator with a flare for the sarcastic presentation which reflected both author and story with unique concepts for paranormal abilities and cohorts.
Have you listened to any of Jeffrey Kafer’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Did NOT like Superhero VS. Zombies concept and wouldn't enjoy any other storyline other than this particular one.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I listen while I drive, so mostly stop and go enjoyment, so not even possible to listen in one sitting, but I was riveted and looked forward to the "Go" more than the "stops" I have to endure throughout the work week.
Any additional comments?
I have recommended this series to others, but with caution that these there are ONLY two books in the series, so far...

What did you love best about The Spirit Clearing?
It gave a deeper, emotional look into the Mike Talbot that we ALL thought we knew before...But apparently, Mark Tufo knew he needed to take this character to a deeper, darker depth of sadness, loneliness, and despair (With a Big helping of Sarcasm) just when things were looking positive, just for our enjoyment. As a "spiritual sensitive", this one hit home for me more than any of his other stories, because often when encountering spirits trapped in between "our world: and the "after-life", I can feel their despair, confusion, and unfortunately, extreme loneliness, and it is painful and draining on my own soul. I loved the, "Tufo" style of overlapping characters from other stories in his series, even if they were brief. I always get a feeling of familiarity and clarity when he does that.
What other book might you compare The Spirit Clearing to and why?
I don't think I have ever read a story quite like this one, it was a new experience for me, and a welcomed relief after listening to the twisted tale of Timothy and the bewildering saga of Callis Rose (Must reads ALSO!!!)
Which scene was your favorite?
Can't spoil the story for future readers...It's All good, every bit of happiness, sadness, fear, and especially the "ever explaining" conclusion....
If you could take any character from The Spirit Clearing out to dinner, who would it be and why?
Besides Mike?? He would be my FIRST choice, but other character would be Jandolin, she seems like the kind of women I respect and would get along best with. Now her Mother, I would take her to the back of the barn and bash her skull in with shovel...But it ALL makes sense in the end!!
Any additional comments?
If you have ever wondered what possibly happens during the "in-between spaces" of life and death, this is a MUST READ!!!!

Most Twisted Story EVER!!!! Clown Zombie EEEK!!!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Absolutely, but only if they had a sick and twisted mind like mine. Not only did this story give me nightmares, but NOW I have a WHOLE 'nother reason to be terrified of clowns!!! It's a MUST Read if you Love the dynamic "Tufo-Runnette" Duo....
Would you be willing to try another book from Mark Tufo? Why or why not?
I have listened to Almost ALL of them, and they ALWAYS leave me chomping at the bit for the next edition to the series...Without a doubt Mark Tufo writes Amazing stories, but Sean Runnette really brings these morbidly insane, but ultimately human characters to Life with the most Sarcastic, Jaded, and absolutely realistic story telling skills, that would make anyone listening to this story with "weak constitutions" Gag and squirm uncomfomfortably in their seats....I also LOVE how Tufo somehow overlaps and entwines his characters from one set of a series that you don't think are related to another. It's like they're all One Big Screwed up, Insane, and sick twisted Family!!!!
Which scene was your favorite?
I'd hate to give any spoilers...Let's just say my least favorite (had me gagging and wretching) were the descriptions of relieving himself..Really?? Had to go so "deep into the bowels of hell" Mark??
If you could take any character from Timothy out to dinner, who would it be and why?
Probably his Dad, before he...wait, no spoilers. I'd love to know how this "man" became so sinister and jaded about women so early in life. But then again, I would probably just end up bashing his head in with a can of beer after a few minutes of listening to his bravado...LOL
Any additional comments?
Great Book to fill time while your waiting for more Zombie Fallout, and my new count down, the Lycan Fallout series...How does he put so many books out so quickly. Oh yea, he probably doesn't sleep with all of those nightmares wandering around inside his head, and now neither can I now that they have been unleashed into the world....Good luck ever enjoying a circus or children's party with a clown present, EVER, EVER Again!!!!!!!
