Do you believe in Demons? You will.

A horror story inspired by real events

A group of boyhood friends in the summer of 1977. An annual rite of passage in a dark and alluring Pennsylvania wood. The channeling of a malevolent Presence.

And a childhood game about to go terribly wrong....

Two brothers in the summer of 1995, reunited by the unspeakable nightmare of their past. A bewitching tavern proprietress and psychic intuitive from New Orleans. The revelation of an apocryphal prophesy.

And a harrowing return to the woods haunted by something far more dangerous than a memory....

Unexpected Storyline

I really loved this book and can't wait for part 2. There are a lot of different reviews regarding how the author jumps from different time lines and how it's hard to follow but it really plays off the present and past timelines very well In my opinion. So the story line is not straightforward so you do have to have patience and pay attention, but it is well worth it, especially when they bring in the the spiritual woman from New Orleans and from there it gets really good. This is definitely one of the books that makes you want to jump right into the 2nd book because the plot is not obvious and the villain is not obvious so I'm definitely looking forward for book 2.

And of course Joe Hemple is a master at narrating.

Wow

I downloaded this as a free book with only a slight hope it would be entertaining. I did not have high hopes. Boy was I surprised! This book was really good! I was enthralled and looked forward to my commute to and from work. So glad I came across this gem.

Steven King meets Lord of the Flies

I thought that from early in the book so, I found it humerous when that novel was mentioned. It took me some perseverance to get through this book. I wasn't crazy about it. Although, the end was a good twist, I doubt I'll be curious enough to read the next.

True Horror

In being honest, it took me a bit to get into the story line, but once I understood the characters it was difficult to stop listening to this audio book. I was scared and left my mind running with the story. A great horror book.

It’s alright

Ok story line but it flipped back and forth so much it was confusing at times.
I feel like it was a strange take on “IT”.
For the me the storyline jumped around so much and didn’t finish at all. There were times I was really thinking oh it’s getting good, then it would fall flat again.

Interesting Story

The story was interesting. I think the author vacilllated between extreme descriptive language and then informal slang. There was a lot of sexual descriptions which didn't work for me. The end of the story had an unexpected twist.

The reader did an excellent job!

This book was spooky, and the reader did a great job conveying the characters, and their fear! Not sure how well that translates when reading a hard copy, I did have to relisten to the last eight of ten chapters because a lot happens, and information is given. I'm not good with multi-tasking. 😊
All in all, the storyline was great, the description of everything going on really helped with the emotion of the characters.

couldn't put it down.

Every chapter left you ready to start the next.
Definitely didn't see the ending coming!

Good but didn’t hold my attention

Solid performance although I think narrator could use some work on his accents. Story was good and suspenseful but I had to restart chapters multiple times because I had zoned out. Pacing during suspenseful/scary moments was so slow that huge story events could happen and I had already zoned out because it felt like it dragged. Part of it is my adhd so I can’t knock them severely over it, but it’s enough for me to not seek out the sequel.

If you have trouble keeping track of time jumps this isn’t really the story for you. Only 2 timelines and each chapter tells you what timeline we’re in, but still.
