Publisher's summary

When novelist Jim Eldridge receives an invitation to a writer's retreat on Washington State's Mount Misery, it seems like the perfect escape from the last days of his dead marriage. Jim accepts the invitation to the Hacks Club and joins the other guests including the legendary H. Casper and best-seller Heather Woods for a week of fun and relaxation.

Someone in those woods is not happy to see them. The body count rises, and the survivors band together to fight the relentless killer. Will they escape the nightmare on the devil's tail ridge, or die trying?

SLOW START, STRONG FINISH!!!!

Would you listen to Hacks again? Why?

I might...that last couple of hours had be on the edge of my seat, and screaming!!

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

I just said this...lol yes it was chilling and thrilling!!! :)

Which scene was your favorite?

OMG...the great escape at the end...just when you think they are in the clear...BAM! I never saw it coming!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Heather's Story!

Any additional comments?

** I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review **

First, I really like Roberto's narrations, he has a strong voice and I like characterizations. This book is a strong 4, could of been a 5 but the beginning is slow, and the editing needed to be just a tad bit better...I listen to a TON of books so I notice the little things...

But, this is an exciting story, a writers retreat gone very wrong! This is a combo, mystery/thriller with some horror and a little romance mixed in...there is a killer in the woods, offing the Hacks/Writers in really horrific and brutal ways....and just when you think the last 4 people are going to make it, and trust me they fought hard to make it, a surprise twist pops up....I was on the edge of my seat the last couple of hours and even screamed out a few times...lol I really enjoyed this, and recommend!

Thank You, Audiobookblast(dot)com

What a bunch of Hacks

The Hacks Club horror writers retreat. A yearly tradition and soon to be a legend of blood and violence.

It’s not often that you get the chance to be slaughtered like one of the characters in your novels.

Let the games begin.

Entertaining and well written with plenty of good time bloody fun.

What a bunch of Hacks.

Loved 80's Horror Flicks? You Will Love Hacks

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I would recommend this book to anyone who loves classic horror books.

What about Roberto Scarlato’s performance did you like?

The characters are introduced steadily and Robert Scalartos change of tone for each person kept it easy to follow who was talking, or dying! The last few chapters of the book were really quite frightening, I fell asleep one night with the book still playing and the horror earworm made its way into my head giving me a graphic, sweat inducing nightmare.

Any additional comments?

If you loved those 80's horror flicks full of blood, gore and a group of unsuspecting victims being picked off one by one in a cabin out in the woods, then Hacks is the audio book you need to download.

This book is vintage horror with a classic storyline and although no surprises or change from the usual horror formula, you will still jump in places and wince at the horror as it unfolds. Expect a couple of sleepless nights!

Fast fun thriller

I received a free copy of this audiobook for an honest review.

The story doesn't waste time getting started as Jim accepts a very secret invitation from the Hacks Club to a relaxing remote retreat. However something sinister lurks in the woods. Is it supernatural? Is everyone going to die? Has the horrible past followed one of the authors into these woods?

Great pacing and suspense. It had a "Jason" feel to it, IMO.

The Narration was acceptable. I had no problems knowing who was who and he did a good job of fading into the background while presenting the story.
