About this listen
"Marvelously creepy...the horror in this tale of twisted friendship is relentless." (Publishers Weekly)
Alex stared at the red pocketknife shown to him by his daughter. A pocketknife owned by somebody he hadn't seen in years.
Children
They met first in boarding school at age 12. Alex Fletcher, shy and scared. Darren Rust, always furiously scribbling away in a private journal. It was not an immediate friendship, but then one night Darren convinced his roommate to sneak off school grounds to see something glorious. There was a sleazy strip club, you see, and every once in a while the back door opened just long enough to maybe catch a quick glimpse.
Though a bond was formed from their prepubescent interest in naked women, Darren had another interest. A morbid curiosity about death. A curiosity that turned into something much more sinister.
Friends
They crossed paths again in college and became the best of friends. But Darren wasn't just looking for a friend. He had dark, ghastly urges squirming around in his head, and he believed he saw the same things - the urge to hurt, the urge to kill - in Alex. He was looking for somebody who understood. A partner.
But Alex could never become a monster. Not even when Darren tried to bring out his friend's most deeply buried feelings of rage. Not even when Darren tried to show him the euphoria of having that much power over another human being. It just couldn't happen...right?
Enemies
Now Alex has a wife and a daughter. And Darren is back. He's hiding. He's patient. His mind is twisted in the worst possible way.
And he's seeking a soul mate.

Now that she's almost 18, he's worried that the life he's given her - living off the grid in a cabin deep in the woods - is holding her back from her full potential. But that angst gets pushed aside when the undead forest animals arrive. At first it's just a squirrel - shockingly violent and almost impossible to kill. Followed by a grizzly bear, also aggressive and resilient, even when point-blank shotgun blasts to the face are involved.

Story
High up on the windswept cliffs of Pale Peak, Faye and Felix celebrate their new engagement. But soon, a chorus of ghastly noises erupts from the nearby woods: the screams of animals, the cries of children, and the mad babble of a hundred mournful voices. A dark figure looms near the windows in the dead of night, whispering to Faye. As the weather turns deadly, Felix discovers that his terrified fiancée isn't just mumbling in her sleep—she's whispering back.

Amazing!
I was so surprised by how incredible Pressure is, especially because I was hesitant at first to pick this book. I burned through it in a matter of days. It is so well written and captivating right from the start, and it certainly has re-listen value.
The protagonist, Alex, is very relatable because he is just so normal. Darren, the psychopath that relentlessly preys on Alex, is a very disturbing and callous character, and there is a real uneasiness evoked throughout Pressure especially in regards to Darren. I do not want to give any spoilers, but what I can say is that if you love psychological thrillers and stories involving brutal psychopaths, then you should not hesitate to pick up this book. However, Pressure is definitely not for the faint of heart!
As for the narration, I can’t even express how flawless it is. The performance is absolutely outstanding, and I am now a huge fan of Scott Thomas after listening to this one title!

An Interesting and Intense Fast Paced Read..
Any additional comments?
I thought that this book was supposed to be a Mystery but it is more.. Horror with a Psychotic Thriller, undertone.
Alex, one of the leads, meets Darren at the Branford Academy boarding school at a young age.
Darren develops a strange obsession with Alex and follows him from childhood into his
adult personal life as well.
Darren becomes more and more manipulative and violent over the course of their "friendship".
At times, Alex seemed at a loss as to what to do about Darren.
Alex is Pushed and "Pressured" throughout the entire story.
And, there were times or rather certain scenes that made me a bit uncomfortable.
Overall, this story was an Interesting and Intense Fast Paced Read.
I just wish that the author would have showed the reader more of Darren's thoughts.
Scott Thomas did well with the narration, his voice was clear and steady.

OMG
I got so invested in the great story I kinda lost track of the intro so I was upset at the mid ending. this guy is a great author, but might have a head in his closet. I want more Mayhem story's. I haven't looked but if this doesn't have a sequel I'm jokingly taking a star off.

Torturous "Pressure" -indeed, pretty good
Where does Pressure rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
middle of the road, gruesome, well performed
Would you be willing to try another book from Jeff Strand? Why or why not?
yes, good writing, he ran the gammet of someones mind, but story seemed familiar
Which scene was your favorite?
When Darren took Alex to lunch right after they met up again
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
"Don't be that guys friend"
Any additional comments?
I am torn! It was partly predictable, partly torturous, partly hard to swallow but held my attention like a Train wreck. Alex seemed very smart sometimes and very dumb sometimes so it was hard to fathom all that he did. I did like how the author described the characters inner thoughts so well, that made for some humorous and ghastly experience.

Twisted!
Jeff Strand writes some absolutely twisted stories. And I mean that in the best way possible. After a childhood infraction, Alex Fletcher’s parents send him off to boarding school…where he meets his three roommates, one of whom ends haunting him, showing up again and again throughout his life, bring with him terror and misery.
It always feels odd, almost wrong, to say I enjoyed a horror novel, even though horror is one of my favorite genres. I mean is it appropriate to ‘enjoy’ something so twisted? And that is exactly what Darren (the kid that becomes Alex’s nemesis) is, very sick and very twisted whose actions are abhorrent, and yet Jeff Strand’s Pressure was totally engaging, dang near mesmerizing…and if I’m honest also mentally exhausting (in a good way). I don’t want to include any spoilers here, but Jeff does a great job of messing with your emotions. And Scott Thomas does a phenomenal job with the narration.

Different from most of his others
I really liked it tho some parts were bit disturbing and quite sad. Was really hoping for different outcome in some parts but it all came together in the end. If you like strand’s work I definitely recommend giving it try. You won’t be disappointed. I was given this audio in exchange for honest and voluntary review.

Refreshingly Riveting GrittyThriller! LOVED IT!
Where does Pressure rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I listen to a lot of mystery thrillers and lately I keep getting the same dull and safe story lines from the same set of "go to" authors. This is my first time I listening to a book by Jeff Strand and I was quickly hooked and couldn't turn the audiobook off. SO GOOD! This story builds fast and it was so refreshing to see the author took risks in the story. Many things I didn't expect which was nice and I really enjoyed the grittiness of the plot and the character development.
What did you like best about this story?
I loved how the story started out with the main character at age 12 and carried on throughout his life. I dont want to give away anything but you will route for the main character. I found myself laughing in some places, angry in others, and even cried at some points. This was a gritty thriller and I will definitely listen to more books by Jeff Strand and the narrator, Scott Thomas.
Which scene was your favorite?
I can't really point out a favorite, I liked the book so much that I listened to the whole thing in one sitting.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I actually did listen to this in one sitting. Listen to this book if you want to get nothing else accomplished for 7 hours. lol
Any additional comments?
If you like gritty thrillers that keep you on the edge of your seat this is a great book for you. If you like the series, Shelter by harlan coben, you probably will love this story. Like Shelter characters, the Pressure characters will have you laughing, crying, and raging with them however story lines are nothing alike. Just the memorable characters.

Dark and brutal
This book was so twisted I messed up I couldn't stop listening. This book was very dark and brutal. Wonderfully written psychological thriller that I could not put down. A quick word of warning, it can be very violent and gruesome at times.
I have other books narrated by Scott Thomas and he was top notch as always. Wonderful performance.

I love Jeff’s writing style and humor
Like with the ‘Wolf Hunt Trilogy’, I was almost instantly engaged in the story.
I absolutely love that.
The story starts out with a teaser scene of Alex as an adult, but once the story really begins, with Alex’s childhood, I was hooked.
I love Jeff’s writing style and humor. Not that this is a “funny” book, but there is much humor in the writing.
This is not my usual genre, which makes it all the more of an accomplishment to keep me engaged in the story and invested in the main character.
The narration is top notch, and I enjoy and appreciate that so much.
I got this Audio Book for free (thanks!). I'm voluntarily leaving this review.
