About this listen

A cold-blooded killer has blazed a trail of dead bodies across the country, with no one to stand in his way...until he starts killing on Shelby Alexander's home turf: the small Michigan town of Serenity.

As the first unspeakable murder shocks the sleepy Michigan town, the local media demands answers. Sheriff Wilkes, the crooked young lawman, targets Shelby Alexander, whose only crime is being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Shelby moves quickly to clear his name, even as the killer closes in on his next victim...and this time it's personal.

The second book in the Shelby Alexander Thriller Series, Serenity Stalked takes listeners inside the mind of a terrifying killer. The stakes have never been higher.

Loved it!

I listened to this Saturday night while cleaning. I loved it, it held my interest and it was full of suspense. He did a good job developing the characters, I could imagine what they look like. I like the narration also. It's after midnight and I just finished it, I couldn't stop once I got started. I can't wait for the next one!

Good addition to the series

Audible. Also available via KU & whispersync discount.

This is the second book in the Shelby Alexander series and an enjoyable addition.

A serial killer is hunting in Serenity and his moves leave Shelby Alexander under suspicion for murder. Once the killer realizes the focus is on Shelby, he plots to frame him even further. This isn't really a mystery per se as the killer has nearly as many chapters as Shelby does, but there is enough action and intrigue to keep the listener engaged. It's a quick listen and I enjoyed it.

Theo Holland continues to be an excellent choice for this book. He sounds like how I imagine a 50+ former bad boy but trying to just get some peace and quiet man should sound. He gave all the characters unique voices and his accents were nice without being comical. I'm definitely looking forward to hearing more from him.

I received a free copy of this audiobook and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Stalking the Night

While he's still healing up from his run in with the local, redneck drug cartel, Carley asks Shelby to "talk to" a former boyfriend who's been harassing her by text. When the man, his wife and baby all end up knifed to death a few hours after Shelby's visit he's the obvious suspect, particularly to the local law. Clearing his name and protecting Carley from a home invading stalker keep him busy through this second Serenity story.
I fell in love with Shelby Alexander in the first book of this series. He's an aging former boxer who drinks too much, doesn't exercise enough , is well past his prime and readily admits it. In spite of all that, he can still kick ass and take names when the need arises but he's not afraid to use his brains and his charm to avoid that if he can. As a hero, he's somebody those of us on the down side of 40 can connect with and appreciate.
If you're a fan of slightly long in the tooth, touch as nails, smart mouthed gumshoes, you'll love this story as much as I did.

A good sequel

Even shorter than the first, it’s more a novella than a full book. It builds nicely on the characters from the first In The series, bringing them in for a second installment.

Didn’t like its new pattern: it ended with a stuuninhg

Can you say page-turner when it is an audiobook?

Short, intense and fast-paced, this is another great story. This time, the violence is really close to home: Shelby's girlfriend, Carly, is the target of a vicious serial killer. And Wilkes, the crooked sheriff of Serenity, is more than willing to take the chance to pin Shelby for the actions of said killer.

I really like the characters, all of them are engaging, but in this story Carly brights in a particularly vivid light.

A great choice for thriller's lovers.

Excellent!

Any additional comments?

Craig A. Hart delivers another fast-paced, captivating thriller with Serenity Stalked. This time around, Shelby’s feisty girlfriend, Carly, is the target of a serial killer . . . but the killer may have bitten off more than they can chew. As with Hart’s other books, I read this in one day, and it didn’t disappoint!

Another highly entertaining thriller...

This story picks up soon after the conclusion of the first book in the series. The same major characters are back and are more fully developed as the story unfolds. Instead of drug dealers, the antagonist in this story is a serial killer who becomes fixated on Shelby’s girlfriend, Carly. This is another of Mr. Hart’s fast-paced, action-packed thrillers but this one has, in my opinion, a creepier vibe to it given the insights into the mind of the killer stalking Carly. Like the first book in the series, this is a novella which can be read/listened to in one sitting if desired. One thing of curious note to me is that the e-book versions of these stories both have some coarse language, but the audio version of both stories seem to have been rewritten replacing a variety of curse words with the f-word. There were cases in which the substitution seemed fitting to the circumstances but other times I thought the original wording was more suitable to the situation (and less repetitive). It is a small thing but seemed noticeable when reading along with the audio version. This story did have a great hook at the end to compel readers to continue with the series, but the major conflict of the story is resolved so I would not call it a true cliffhanger ending. Regardless, this is another gripping story to thrill and entertain enthusiasts of this genre.

While I did purchase a copy of this book, the author gifted me with a code for the audio version and the above is my honest and unbiased review.

Good author-wish he wrote full length novels...

In this second book to the Serenity series there is a serial killer in the loose. The man moves around quite a bit, never staying in one place for too long. He moves each time after he's committed enough murders that people are beginning to get suspicious and before eyes fall on him he's gone. In this book he kills a family of three, makes it look like a home invasion. He then sets his sights on Carly, Shelby Alexander's young girlfriend (she's about the same age as his daughter). There's some cat and mouse play with her and the killer thinks he's falling in love with Carly but... he has to get Alexander out of the picture.
This is a busy story, great characters with lots of reminiscing about past kills, scheming about future kills and plans to stay safe.
Theo Holland does a great job narrating.
I RECOMMEND this novella

Serenity Stalked

This is my second time listening to this series. I loved it the first time but this time it's even better than I thought. I know more about Shelby now. In this book someone is trying to kill Carly (Shelby's Girlfriend). There is a good Storyline and the right amount of people to make the book interesting . There is Shelby and Carly which is half his age. Also Leslie his daughter and his ex wife are in the background. Also his close friend Mac. I highly recommend this series. Theo Holland does an excellent job narrating this book and series. If my review is any help will you please click on the helpful link below. Thank you.
