“Something is watching from behind the walls....”
The move into 889 Morgan Road was supposed to be a fresh start for Joseph Dubois and his family. What they got instead was a nightmare.
Dark shadows in the halls are only the beginning. At night, guttural noises issue from behind the walls, and the family reports seeing a terrifying figure wandering the premises. Desperately seeking someone with experience in supernatural matters, Joseph calls upon his uncle, Marcel.
Retired surgeon Marcel Dubois has a special gift: The ability to communicate with his dead wife. Harnessing this gift allows him to plumb the depths of the afterlife and to confront the paranormal. Arriving in Detroit, Marcel seeks to uncover the truth about the strange figure seen in his nephew's new house.
But when his questions are finally answered, Marcel finds himself at the center of a horror without parallel.
The House of Long Shadows seeks another lodger.
Malefic is the second novel in the House of Souls series.

The plot to this book is quite a bit different from the first story and is a bit more like a standard haunted house story, something Ibsen has perfected. I really liked how Dr. Marcel interacted with the ghost world through his deceased wife. That piece of the plot was something I wish there was more to and I hope it continues into the next book. The one thing I was thinking the entire time I was listening was that I want an uncle like Dr. Marcel.
Much like the first book in the series, there are not a lot of characters. Those who are in this are fleshed out quite well and you can’t help but root for Dr. Marcel. His nephew seemed weak and inept and his inability to handle the situation made me dislike him. Dr. Marcel reminded me of the original Van Helsing, an older and fairly competent paranormal hunter, helping out his inexperienced nephew by taking on a task way out of his league. Even though he might not be as competent as he needs to be to tackle the house, he is someone I would want on my side. I really hope to see more of Dr. Marcel in the next story. Lastly there is Fiona, one of the evil presences who happens to share my daughter’s name. Been looking at her closely lately to make sure her imaginary friends are just that, imaginary.
The Ibsen – Hempel team is fantastic. The two work very well together and between Hempel’s fantastic narration and Ibsen’s ability to create tension, I couldn’t stop listening. Hempel provided, as always, a narration that brings you into the story and provides the right amount of emotion and personality to each character. I was super excited to start this book and now that I’m done I can’t wait for the next.

I loved this book. Mr. Ibsen always, always comes up with new and unique twists with his novels and this one is no exception. Without giving away any spoilers, I'll say that I loved the addition of Constance and how things were tied in throughout the book with whatever or whoever was in the house. Just a really solid story and I didn't see the ending coming until the very end and then it all made sense. Oh, and the ending wasn't just some random ending that you couldn't look back upon to see the...writing on the wall...It was a well thought out and carefully planned ending that tied into this that had happened throughout the book. I'd recommend this series to anyone that lives a good supernatural thriller.
Joe Hempel did a great job narrating Malefic. He always surprises me with how versatile his narrations are. For example, in The House of Long Shadows, he played the main character with a voice of that of a younger man so well. Then in Malefic, he voiced Marcel, who is an older gentleman, perfectly as well. He handles the other characters, including female characters just a well and I never find his narrations distracting or taking away from the story. Just a solid, entertaining narrator that I know will do a great job. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher for an honest review.

'Malefic' is a fun follow up to book 1, 'The House of Long Shadows,' though I do think you should read book 1 first to get the full effect of this one. If you like super natural horror stories, then I really don't know why you wouldn't listen to this one. It's a pretty fabulous one!!!
