Story
Still reeling from a brutal dismemberment, detective Kline is forcibly recruited to solve a murder inside a religious cult that takes literally the New Testament idea that you should cut off your hand if it offends you. Armed only with his gun, his wits, and a gift for self-preservation, Kline must navigate a gauntlet of lies, threats, and misinformation. All too soon he discovers that the stakes are higher than he thought and that his survival depends on an act of sheer will.

Very fun. Tongue and cheek (no pun intended) got a little repetitive at times

TW: rape, incest, pedophilia
The first book is very uncomfortable to read because of all the allusions to rape and graphic sexual scenes. They do not however romanticize it and instead make the discomfort of the scenes palpable. The first book also does an amazing job of setting up the second and third. The story is deep and rich and heartfelt, with more twists and reveals than can be counted. The characters drive this story amazingly and the blossoming romance is handled superbly. This series is the Audible equivalent of an absolute page turner from start to finish!

Story
Stephen King returns to the characters and territory of one of his most popular novels ever, The Shining, in this instantly riveting novel about the now middle-aged Dan Torrance (the boy protagonist of The Shining) and the very special 12-year-old girl he must save from a tribe of murderous paranormals. This is an epic war between good and evil, a gory, glorious story that will thrill the millions of hyper-devoted fans of The Shining and wildly satisfy anyone new to the territory of this icon in the King canon.

I was very worried that this sequel would leave at least something to be desired, but King completely knocked it out of the park! I absolutely recommend 100%!

Story
Greece in the age of heroes. Patroclus, an awkward young prince, has been exiled to the kingdom of Phthia to be raised in the shadow of King Peleus and his golden son, Achilles. “The best of all the Greeks”—strong, beautiful, and the child of a goddess—Achilles is everything the shamed Patroclus is not. Yet despite their differences, the boys become steadfast companions. Their bond deepens as they grow into young men and become skilled in the arts of war and medicine—much to the displeasure and the fury of Achilles’ mother, Thetis, a cruel sea goddess with a hatred of mortals.

This was a page turner to end all. I couldn't pull myself away from it. The writing was gorgeous, the narration was perfect, and the story had me from beginning to bittersweet end. I've never found myself rereading a book. I will be rereading this one.
