Secrets Never Stay Silent

Six children disappeared. Psychopath Elvin Hayes was convicted and executed for the presumed murders. He went to his grave with the secrets of what happened to the children dubbed The Silent Six.

Thirty years later, the six are no longer silent. A curse has been summoned. The children have come home to play a demonic game called The Mayhem. Detective Kim Strode must find out who conjured The Mayhem before it destroys everyone connected to the case.

There’s one major problem. Kim is connected. Her father sent Elvin Hayes to the electric chair.

The Mayhem Children, a terrifying tale of witchcraft, demons, and revenge, is an ode to classic 80s horror.

This was my first book by this author and I am already looking for more. What a great start to a new series. This story follows Detective Kim Strode and her partner, Detective Terrence Simms, as they have their world rocked by the realization that all their training has not prepared them for the paranormal threats their community must face in the wake of an unspeakable and heinous act of brutality in which six children were murdered, but no bodies were ever found. Prepare for a fast-paced, full-throttle experience as these detectives and some paranormal experts work to unravel the mystery of what happened to these children, why their families are now being driven mad by malicious visitations from the children, and who could have had the motive and knowledge to conjure the evil that now plagues their community. You won’t want to put this one down once you start it, so grab your favorite beverage, settle into your favorite chair and dive into this compelling and utterly creepy tale. If you choose to listen to the audio version of this story, you are in for a treat. The narrator, Tom Jordan, gives another of his amazing performances in this story. He is always good at distinguishing various characters with his voice but in this one, the voice of the Mayhem demon will send chills up your spine. The combination of a skilled and highly imaginative writer and a gifted narrator giving a stellar performance made this story a completely enjoyable experience that I would recommend to anyone partial to the genre. I sure hope there will be more adventures with these wonderful characters.
NOTE: this is a chilling story revolving around the death of children but there is no disturbingly graphic violence, no foul language, and no sex.

While I did enjoy this book a lot, there wasnone question which seemed to be left unanswered to me. From the story I can guess at the answer, but I am the type of person who likes things to wrap up all neat and tidy. Still worth listening to.

Years after six children go missing and the man responsible pays for his crimes, horrifying things start happening to the families involved. This story was creepy in all the right ways. I never knew when something was going to happen to any of the characters, so remained tense, always expecting the worst. If this were a movie, there would be a lot of dark scenes involving music with sudden jump scares and frenzied action. The author did a good job of drawing me into the story, had me wanting to know what would happen next ,and uncertain as to how it would all end. This story made me feel a lot of emotion throughout. I will admit that tears were involved at one point. I gasped aloud a few times and cringed in sympathy for a character several times. I will definitely be looking for more works from this author. The narration was well done. You could feel the differences in the characters personalities as well as easily distinguish between the different characters. There was suitable emotion in the voice. I enjoyed listening to this narrator.

Received audiobook through the Tom Jordan, this is an honest review. Tom Jordan brings to life one of most gut wrenching stories I've read and in such breathtaking fashion I was both disturbed and absolutely engaged at the same time. Finally putting to death of the most dangerous serial killers out there that brutally took the lives of six children and ruined their families; everything should be over. Only what comes as a fight for survival for all of those this very dark case brought together: a very dark force is using the souls of the dead children to unleash a nightmare that test everyone's sanity. And discover a serial killer still has his own secrets slowly unraveling into the light.

Highly recommended.

If you want goosebumps…this is definitely for you! The ghosts of murdered children are wreaking havoc on those who failed to protect them when they were alive…as well as an innocent family. Talk about wrong place, wrong time. Good story…probably best not listened to at night…wahahah!
Yes, narrator really raises the creepy factor! Looking forward to the next book
