Publisher's summary
Billy Jay Cader came from an abusive past. Self-preservation forced him to run away at the age of 14. His daddy was full of demons and played a sadistic game in a lottery-type punishment with his boy. When Billy Jay ran from his daddy, he hoped to outrun those demons as well. As time passed, he realized he hadn't been able to flee fast enough to escape them. Now those mental monsters were tightly nestled within. He was the new vessel to carry his daddy's wrath.
This is the story of how that monster from his past propagated into Billy Jay's psyche and took over, compelling him to become the next generation of evil. Billy Jay's young sons, Billy James, and Darrell Lee were now the recipients of his wrath as his hopeless, drunken wife watched from a distance.
The story begins from the early Cader family traditions and the morally depraved control that the game of the Mason Jar truly possesses. The twisted and deranged values of retribution for wrongs committed, through a game of chance. This series is the one to compel you to binge listen and then crave the next allocation to see where the madness takes you. Full of mystery, evil, twisted love, erotica, lies, and murder. Billy Jay Cader is pure evil incarnate, drawing a small forgotten coastal town along the Gulf of Florida, circa the 80s, into the web of a sociopath on a journey to destruction. His own? Or everyone that he encounters?
Buy a ticket and ride a roller-coaster of fear battling faith, the past conquering hope, and the unforgiving allure of a simple game constructed of wood squares and a glass mason jar. A game capable of destroying lives with a simple shake and release of the small wooden punishment tile.

When souls are tied, it's never goodbye. A boy I was that summer evening I met you, pulling your belongings out of the truck and into your new home. I knew it was love then. A whole man I was the day that you met me at the altar and agreed to love me until death do us part. A shell of a man I've become since it did, unable to move on, move forward, or progress in any way until I discovered that not even death was permanent enough to keep us apart. A better man I'm destined to be, knowing that, at some capacity, you're still with me. Our love is one that never dies.

Life was barely manageable after my mom was murdered three years ago. I wasn’t sure what my purpose was anymore. But then on my 21st birthday, I drank a little too much and fell from the roof of my nine-story apartment building. I died. Then...I un-died. Enter Hayden, my really bossy (and hot) guardian angel whose duty is to train me to be the next “Soldier of Light.” I’m pretty sure I’m the wrong person for this job, despite what Hayden thinks. Guess I’m stuck saving the dead.

I left him behind because I had no choice.... That's what I keep telling myself, but it doesn't make it any easier to sleep at night...or to drown out the words he kept repeating over and over the day we'd met: I just want to go home. That was eight long years ago and I'd only known him as Billy, a terrified 14-year-old I'd had to leave behind to save someone else. But his name wasn't Billy and he's no longer a frightened kid lost in a world where he was nothing more than a possession.

Story
When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.

Story
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

This book is WEIRD but good!
It takes a bit to understand who everyone is (because we meet a lot of characters in a short time), but if you can keep track, this is a great read. It's got some weird occurrences that happen, but it's done in such a way you never quite know what's coming next- or what's real. If you want something darker, but great, this is a good book for that.
Enjoy!

A Story of Horror and Faith
This book is an interesting mixture of disturbing and redemption. It starts out a little slow with a bird’s eye view of the main character’s past, but it does get hard to put down in the middle. The ending seemed a little too easy, but the author uses that to set up nicely for the next book’s conflict. I’d recommend it for someone who wants a story of grace with grit.
The narrator has a nice low voice and seems to get into each character as he reads. The only time I felt jarred out of the story was when he did a particularly whinny version of a woman, but it only lasted for a scene. I thought he made a good narrator for this darker tale.

great start to a long series
knowing there is alot more to come in this series makes it hard to point out what I like and dislike. The character development for me is key to what I want to read/listen too . The main character development was great but the story kind of hits a wall and comes back around . Religion becomes the plot but leaves my mind wondering what happens next.That being said it gets pretty preachy .Ely paints a very vivid picture of the early years of the characters and that alone had me hooked. As for the narration i would say its pretty decent except his accent on a woman from new york sounding like shes from georgia.All in all I would listen again and I am starting the second book and plan to continue the series.

Book One of the Mason Jar Series...
Billie Jay did not have it easy growing up. After serving some time, he is ready to settle down and be a better man than his father was... but that is not in the cards for Billy Jay or his family, he might just be more sadistic than his own father.
I was warned the first book starts a little slow, and it did. You get a good idea of the history of violence that haunts this family, and by the end, you are ready for the next one! Billy Jay and his family have many deceptions lurking beneath the surface waiting to emerge from the muck. I am ready for more!

The Judgement Game
I expected this book to be so much different. And I am totally not sure why it needed to be a serious. It was rough listen to the book but it did have a few moments that would keep you listening. First the book is very drawn out. Just as I would think we were getting to the good part it would be gone. I felt like it was all over the map you go from bums living on the street to child abuse the to religion then to does he or does he not believe. Yes the story was sad but he had an opportunity to change. So he’s pretty unstable. The book is definitely a downer. I would not recommend it. A total waste of time. I thought this was going to be a thriller. The narration is ok.

Good book with tough subject matter
Themes of this novel are the cycle of abuse from parent to child and redemption through God. Serious stuff! It's a pretty sprawling journey, with twists in unexpected places and moments you have no idea where things are going to go. As always, McSorley does a great job with the narration!

Suprised
I really like the story, surprised by the religious direction, I generally stay away from religion in books but I really enjoyed it. Love the voice deep and rumbly. I also enjoyed the twists and turns when you least expect it.

Grace, mercy and forgiveness...
What is the difference between Grace and Mercy? An age old question that Billy Jay will hopefully discover throughout his life. Escaping from and abusive father and alcoholic mother, to a prison sentence for a crime that he did not commit, Billy Jay becomes jaded. He meets, falls in love and marries a wonderful woman but, over time, turns into the abusive father. Jay meets out punishment to his sons by having them choose a tile from a mason jar. Each tile holds a punishment, except for one that requests Grace. One night his oldest son retaliates and Jay finds himself on the run for years. From the warmth of Florida to the dismal cold of NY, Jay lives the life of the homeless. A loving old lady at a church soup kitchen shares the love and forgiveness of God...but Jay rejects her teaching. A home invasion leads to, no less than, a divine intervention and Jay finally understands the meaning of forgiveness. But will Jay be able to resist the pull of the darkness that resides deep inside every human? Looks as if we will have to wait for the next book to find out! Excellent narration drags you down into the darkness and lifts you up at just the right time!
I accepted a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an hones review.

Lots of religion...
I would have quit listening if it weren’t for the narration by Paul J McSorley. There is way to much religion and lives get turned around almost instantaneously as soon as Jesus is accepted. This book should have been categorized under religion and spirituality. Yes there is some abuse of women and children but that takes second seat.
McSorley does a great job narrating.
I do not recommend this book.
