Publisher's summary

Eight-year-old Evan Laine is afraid. He'd lost a finger in a car accident, but now, it is slowly growing back. There are other changes, too. Changes he can't hide from his mom. And dreams. Dreams from which he wakes, screaming.

They are after him - the beautiful redheaded woman and the drooling boy/ man. They want him to change. They are making him change, shaping him into something just like them.

Bonnie Laine knew there was something wrong with her son. She'd seen the skin sloughing off his belly in long, wet sheets. She'd heard his screams in the night. And now, she'd seen them. The followers, hunting her son. They want Evan for something. Something too terrible to imagine.

But Bonnie will do anything to save her son. Even if it means joining forces with a murderous man who may be far more dangerous than the creatures pursuing them.

Loved the story, not the narration!

I loved this story! I can honestly say, as far as I can remember, that I've never read a story that has been so... uncertain, regarding what was going to happen next, that I was left impressed. Really the only thing "I knew" that was going to happen was Evan's mom finding him. Other than that, Ithe story seemed to pull me along by a string, I was that focused on it! Wanting to know what was going to happen next. Wow! The story gets a 5+ from me. 

Unfortunately, the narrator was a different story. She's only getting 3 stars from me. I felt the majority of the time, her voice was flat, almost like a computer was reading the story. It took me a bit to get used to her voices, especially Bonny. I don't know, she sounded funny in a distracting way. That was the kind of female voice I would have imagined a male narrator attempting to do. And I always question myself when it comes to narrators with accents. Like I can handle British/English, Irish/Scottish, redneck/country accents when they pronounce words differently than in the US. But when the narrator sounds like they're from the US and not country or anything, yet pronounces certain words as though they've never seen/spoken them before... It's strange to me. For example, "Mobil" (gas station) was pronounced as "Mo-bill," or "pedophiles" as "pee-da-files," or "homicide" as "homo-side." Just strange to me. I think the most annoying mispronunciation was regarding "frightened." My god, I don't know how many times the word was used in the story (A LOT!) but every time the narrator said it, it was like she had no time to include the "th" part, so it sounded/was pronounced like "fry-end." Tell me someone else noticed this? I admit I'm nitpicking when it comes to stories and mistakes (ones I notice that no one else seems to) but come! 

I had only one comment about the story itself. When Shep sleeps in Bonny's bed and wakes up covered in sweat? Barf! Yet, he didn't tell Bonny and later, she went to sleep in the bed. Ew! I would never let a strange sleep in my bed.

If you scare easily, listen during the day!

Great story, great narration! Bonnie Laine is shocked when she gets the call that her son has been in a car accident and her ex-husband is missing. Bonnie gave up her rights to her son when she divorced, while suffering from depression. Now she’s responsible for her 8yo son and she’s a bit clueless. When her son begins having strange dreams and claims that a woman and drooling man are after him, Bonnie doubts her ability to take care of and protect her son. Then there’s the PI who is out for revenge for his brother’s murder...he insists that the woman and drooling man are not human. Is Bonnie losing her mind or us there some truth to Evan’s dreams and the PI’s claims? This story will have you doubting your own sanity! If you enjoy horror/paranormal genre then you need to give this book a try. I received a complimentary copy of this book and this is my unbiased review.

Chilling

When Bonnie gets the call that her son’s been in a car accident, and her ex-husband is missing, she must resume her guardianship over her child. She’s not sure of herself, sure of her ability to take care of her son. Then her little boy starts to have disturbing nightmares about things he’s convinced aren’t figments of his imagination.

Thrilling little horror book full of chills and thrills. Plenty of suspense. When I first started listening to this book, I wasn’t sure what to think but I loved the ending. This book had the creepy feeling similar to movies like Sinister.

Characters are realistic and sound. I love that the MC is flawed and doubtful. It makes it easier to put yourself in her position. To try and imagine what you would do if it were your child having such strange dreams. This book reminded me a bit of Doctor Sleep, and I loved that Stephen King feeling.

Narration was well done.

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

Different

I have to say this is more of a sci-fi thriller than horror. I took a bit to get into it but still enjoyed it. Enjoyed the characters of Evan, Bonnie and Shep even Harris towards the end, it is about boy being helped and chased by ancient healers. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. Thank you

Wow! Really enjoyed

I really enjoyed this story. although at first thought it feels like horror, in actuality there's a depth that takes it beyond horror into a study of parental love, obsession with revenge and final acceptance of change because of that love. I did find the narrator's speech cadence distracting at times, but it made her seem to fit her character, with all her nervousness and insecurity, to feel all the more real once i got used to it. I received a free copy of this rifle for an honest review.

Suspenseful Book

This book is very suspenseful and you really are kept guessing. The narrator, Rebecca, makes you understand how the mother was feeling with her voice. I would recommend this to anyone that likes suspense.
