Story4 out of 5 stars 154
About 15 miles west of Stauford, Kentucky, lies Devil's Creek. According to local legend, there used to be a church out there, home to the Lord's Church of Holy Voices - a death cult where Jacob Masters preached the gospel of a nameless god. And like most legends, there's truth buried among the roots and bones.

I’ll admit, I’m A LOT bias when it comes to this book! Devils Creek and Corbin was where I grew up. Corbin is the actual name where this was set, as well as where the writer is from.
Devils Creek was a right of passage as a teen for a lot of people! Go to the cemetery at the old church site and see if you could stay all night, or go over to the arches at the head of Dog Slaughter and party!
I haven’t been home in over 15 years or so, so it was good to here about the old home town. Even if it was over run! LoL! I loved the story, but it got a bit out of hand there with sex and things, felt a little rough listening to teenager kids and sex. The incest stuff didn’t bother me, because if you’re from Corbin… there was a lot of that goin around!
The small things like calling the characters, mamaw and papaw, really hit it dead on. Just small things that the characters would say, were right on the money for how we all talk from there!
Only complaint or dislike really. The narrator wasn’t the greatest! NOT TERRIBLE! Just wasn’t my favorite of all times! I will listen to this again at some point I’m sure!
My only complaint, was the narrator. Wasn’t terrible, and

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 122
The United States' first Special Forces unit in World War II was known as the Marine Raiders. As one Raider explained, Raiders learned a deadly proficiency with the bayonet, they learned to use knives in hand-to-hand combat, and they learned to throw them with the infallible accuracy of vaudeville experts. Marine Raiders gives a gripping account of what it took to become a member of the elite battalions known as Raiders and how they survived their desperate fight in the South Pacific.

I love to hear about WW2 heroes. Thank you to The Veteran Chronicles, so I could learn of this book. These men are 100% unsung bad asses! No other words! First of the Marine SOF! Amazing listen. I can’t wait to listen again!

They were called Easy Company, but their mission was never easy. Immortalized as the Band of Brothers, they suffered huge casualties while liberating Europe in an unparalleled record of bravery under fire. Dick Winters led them through the Battle of the Bulge, the attack on Foy, where Easy Company reached its breaking point, and finally into Germany, by which time each member had been wounded. Outside Munich, they liberated an S.S. death camp and captured Berchtesgaden, Hitler's alpine retreat.

Winters was a perfect leader.

I wish every officer could be as amazing and he was. Winters was an exceptionally different kind of leader. He didn’t put numbers to the attack on the four 105s he was tasked to take out. 12 Americans, to 50 Germans. UNREAL! This is by far my favorite book I’ve ever had the privilege to hear.

Story5 out of 5 stars 12,860
Members of the military’s special operations branches share a closely guarded secret: They love their jobs. They relish the opportunity to fight. They are thankful for it, even, and hopeful that maybe they’ll get to kill a bunch of bad guys while they’re at it. You don’t necessarily need to thank them for their service - the pleasure is all theirs. In this hilarious and personal memoir, listeners ride shotgun alongside former Army Ranger and private military contractor and current social media phenomenon Mat Best, into the action and its aftermath, both abroad and at home.

I’ve always enjoyed what Matt Dunn on YouTube. I’ve always enjoyed Black Rifle Coffee. And I always enjoyed art fitting clothing. I guess you have to be arrogant, all of your self type of person, to be as successful as he’s been. I’m not knocking a man’s hustle, because he’s doing well for sale. And I’m glad that he is! But there needs to be a fine line between writing a book that does nothing but jerk yourself off, and telling your story.
