Publisher's summary

He drinks too much. He can't hold a marriage together. And he's our only hope against the monster that just came to town. Franklin Butcher is a young cop with a few rough years behind him. Freshly divorced, he decides to make a new start in the small town of Shallow Creek. What better place to coast until retirement than a town where nothing happens? His plan doesn’t work. Soon people start disappearing, and Butcher is the only one who seems to want to solve the case. He believes a new couple in town are to blame for the vanishings, but the truth is even darker than he thinks. Before he knows it, Butcher is drawn into an unseen world of supernatural creatures that has existed in secret for centuries. It’s also a world he has more connection to than he ever imagined. Because, like Shallow Creek, Franklin Butcher has a few secrets of his own. The Unseen is a bold new take on familiar myths, from doppelgangers to vampires, to demons, monsters and more. This is a series that can’t be missed. But be careful- once seen, this world can’t be unseen… Note: A version of this story was originally published under the title Shallow Veins. This version has been heavily edited and expanded by the author.

Terrible AI voice. Just as bad as usual.

The AI Voice can make the Wizard of Oz sound like stereo instructions. Then again I would loath to hear that. Please stop with the A.I.. It’s just the worst, and there are some very bad voice actors on here. I guess the AI isn’t so bad. No it it it is, blah. This site has gone down hill over the past 6 years. Whatever you did, you really need a reality check. And stop with the DEI. No one wants to hear political bs in books that get pushed to the top of the search engine. Enough.

Slow but Interisting

It takes a moment to get started, but the story is interesting. There is a shade of Lovecraft in it and a little Men in Black. If you like either of these story lines you will probably like this. Hopefully the author will make enough money on this to have a decent narrator for his next work. AI narration always make the story a little flat and is never the best option.

Good story, original

AI read is a bit distracting at times. Slow start but picks up and sets up the series. Stick with it.
