Publisher's summary

State Road 177 runs along the Suwannee River, between Fargo, Georgia, and the Okefenokee Swamp. Drive that route from east to west, and you'll cross six bridges. Take it from west to east, and you might find seven. But you'd better hope not. Titus and Melanie Bell leave their hotel in Fargo for a second honeymoon canoeing the Okefenokee Swamp. But shortly before they reach their destination, they draw up to a halt at the edge of a rickety bridge with old stone pilings, with room for only one car....

When, much later, a tow-truck arrives, the driver finds Titus lying in the middle of the road, but Davina is nowhere to be found.

Loved it

As far as the story it was good but nothing jaw dropping. The narrator was amazing! Some of the characters were really funny and made me laugh. The narrators delivery was spot on. I would listen to anything he narrates if he is always this good

Narrator really brought this story to life

This was a different take on the local monster tale and I really liked it, but the narration enhanced the story and made it my favorite listen this year. Each character was well defined and recognizable from the others. Kudos!!

Really Good!

This was an interesting and fun read with colorful characters in a shady little town.

Taut in all the right places with scenes that you can see in your minds eye.

Would listen to the sequel if there’s one.

Wonderful

I loved it. It reminded me of Steven King, to a point. My only nitpick is the audio seemed to drag in places making accents feel over done. I adjusted the play back speed to 1.15 and that seemed to clear it up for me. Could have been a bad dowlload or even just my phone.

Could not stop listening

I listen to books while I work and normally catch a third of them if they are okay. This book I listened to and loved. It was not at all what I expected. Performance was amazing.

Creepy as ……..

Nothing. It’s an awesome listen. Speed it up to 1.05 or 1.1 due to the slack jawed locals!

Another excellent Gothic horror story from Cherie Priest

If you like gothic horror you need to listen to this one. It makes you wonder all the way to the end what’s finally going to happen. Highly recommend
