Tabitha said he could do better. Well, he didn’t. Let Holly go, Stephen. Stick with what you’re good at. Suspense, supernatural, and stories that entertain.

I haven’t listened to Scott Brick in quite awhile. He spoils every story with his over-emoting style that distracts me from what he is saying. He injects overbearing drama into simple sentences. I will avoid buying a book that he narrates.

This author must be paid by the word. Way, way, too long. It was too long.

Narrator was a monotone boor. Story was unbelievable. Will not finish the series. He usually writes a better story.

Please, Stephen, let Holly go! Write something original. We have anticipated your exceptional fiction for years. This one is trite and predictable.

I didn’t finish it. The story is too, too descriptive of gory murders. The story is incredibly depressing.

The story is overly complicated. Gory scenes are unnecessary. I can’t finish this a book.

Circular story with too many characters. The ending is not credible. In fact, it is a foible impossible to believe.

Nothing like the Black Book, a thriller. Maybe this should be labeled YA. Not for me.
