Ruby is a loner, skilled with sleight of hand and an uncanny sixth sense. Her companion is a mystical feline named Matty. Johnny, her dead lover, is also by her side - gifting her with cryptic messages and prophetic dreams. He’s been on the road with her for years - even when she leaves Boston with stolen money and a van crammed with magical paraphernalia.
Her plan is to go to Atlantic City, meet a somewhat shady connection, and lay low from cops who might be on her trail. But when she arrives in Nazareth, she falls in love with the beach town and a man named Michael Elmira. Together, they worship strange gods, partaking in unusual rituals.
There are stranger beings in Nazareth - and it isn’t long before she encounters its mysteries and the specters that exist there. And a serial killer is on the loose, moving silently through Ruby’s beloved city, taking lives without warning.
Before long, her friends begin to die. Will she survive Nazareth’s secrets, or will she become a maddened predator’s next victim?

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
No. This book tries to do too many things at once.At first I was very interested with the premise of the book which is essentially con-artists and occult-type stuff but the writing quickly fizzles out. The book tries to give you a glimpse into this unique subculture but it tries way too hard to make everything feel dark and gritty. The vocabulary in a lot of the descriptions, especially of the characters and their backgrounds, feels very forced and predictable to the point that I was getting annoyed with it. There is also a sense that the plot is furthered through things that feel too convenient. Another problem is that the story feels very disjointed at times with a lot of irrelevant details that hurts the writing and makes it feel distracted. There were whole small chapters that I felt could have been completely removed and it only would have improved things.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
The small twist at the end was interesting but it was a chore to get to the end and the payoff wasn't worth it.Was Settling in Nazareth worth the listening time?
No.Any additional comments?
The narrator, Laura Jennings, did an excellent job. I felt that she was the perfect voice for the main character.*This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.
Great Premise But With Issues

Short but good paranormal murder mystery/suspense story. I thought this novel had good suspense and the characters were interesting. I thought the narrator, too, did a great job on this story. I would be open to more, were this to become a series.
A little short but quite entertaining

Narration was excellent and brought the story to life.
The story is very entertaining and hard to put down. It does conclude with several unexpected things going on that threw me for a loop. Great writing but not a HEA kind of book!

Dark Murder Mystery

The plot seems to twist and turn so often it resembles a pretzel but it's easy to follow and very interesting. The cast of characters are a real mixed bunch but they come together to form strong friendships and a support network to be envied.
The setting is really well done, I was able to form a clear mental picture of everything from the locations to the action.
The narration was well done, good character voices and the delivery matched the tone and emotions of the story well.
