Outside Los Angeles, a driver pulls up to find a young woman sitting on a large black box. She offers him $200,000 cash to transport her and that box across the country, to Washington, DC. But there are rules: He cannot look inside the box. He cannot ask questions. He cannot tell anyone. They must leave immediately. He must leave all trackable devices behind. As these eccentric misfits hit the road, rumors spread on social media that the box is part of a carefully orchestrated terror attack intended to plunge the USA into civil war.

Another amazing book by Jason Pargin. I loved everything about this book from beginning to end. The characters were on point and you can never go wrong with that classic Pargin humor. I've already recommended this book to many people.

Perfect Conclusion

Perfect conclusion to this trilogy. Been awhile since a book has made me emotional but by the end of this one I couldn't help to let it rain. Amazing author! He has definitely made this genre come alive. Looking forward to reading more from him.

When the rules turn deadly, winning is everything. Only available from Audible, a gripping psychological thriller from the author of Silent Child, Saving April, and The Broken Ones. Perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn, Lisa Jewell and Paula Hawkins. The perfect couple. The perfect marriage. The perfect game. Effie and Ben May have everything. Success. Beauty. Glamour. But beneath the charming smiles and expensive clothes, a twisted game is in progress. A game for which only they know the rules.

Investigations in the time of Covid

Finally Holly's own book and NO Will Patton
Reviewed: 09-23-23
Huge mistake not having Will Patton as narrator for this. Holly is by for one of my all time favorite characters and Patton has always done a amazing performance. With no Patton and just going overboard with the whole covid and Trump stuff I couldn't really enjoy this one. Politcal stuff doesnt really bother me but this just felt like too much and qas lame. I'm a big time King fan and I usually preorder his stuff but unfortunately don't think I'll preorder again anytime soon. If you had Patton redo this I'd definitely but that version. This was such a disappointment.

In 1986, Eddie and his friends are on the verge of adolescence, spending their days biking in search of adventure.

They follow the message, only to find the dead body of a teenage girl. In 2016, Eddie is nursing a drinking problem and trying to forget his past, until one day he gets a letter containing a chalk man — the same one he and his friends saw when they found the body.

A very entertaining and well developed story. The narrator did an excellent job and definitely helped bring this piece together. Some horror elements and somewhat of a twisted ending which I really enjoyed.

Good but not great
Reviewed: 10-08-18
Good but not great overall. The narration isn’t bad but there is a high pitch on a lot of the words. Not sure if it’s solely the part of the narrator or the audio recording but it’s bothersome enough to hurt my ears. Very entertaining story but some parts just seemed to be a little off but overall it was enjoyable. I recommend if you truly love the adventure genre.
