Inside the Devil's Nest

Real estate agent Anthony Graham has his family on the run after witnessing a murder at the
hands of the powerful Costello crime family. They’re forced to hide at one of Anthony’s properties, a deserted campground with a sinister past. No one is safe from the men that hunt them, or the terrors that await them inside The Devil’s Nest.

Loved it

Another good audible narrated by Joe Hempel.
I enjoyed the story and all of the characters.

if your middle school English teacher wrote a horror novel with the class,

This novel would be it. It's not bad, but it's not good. The writing is stilted and 'dumbed down.' The lead is a shit ass of a man, but his token attempts at being a good husband /father just illustrate how shitty he actually is--and of course it's all leading up to a super-emotional denoument that's supposed to heartrending, but it'll be more of a relief that the idiot is finally done fucking up his family's lives. The character is supposed to be John Wick-ian, or like the dude Better Call Saul plays in that movie where he's a hitman with a family --but he's...not. The author's attempts at writing teenaged girls and adult women in just bad. It reads like the book was written by a guy who doesn't really read a lot, or if he does, he only reads books with super heroic everyman main characters.

Are You Ready to Enter the Devil's Nest?

Everyone has some skeletons in their closet so to speak and keeps things to themselves from their significant others. However, working with shady crime/mob bosses which put your entire family's lives at risk shouldn't be one of those. As you can imagine the story starts frantically trying to ensure safety for everyone, which leads into old campgrounds that are not the most hospitable. This book is non-stop action from the moment you start wondering what will happen with the choices made by family, the history on the old campgrounds from cult backgrounds, etc. it's a frightening read.

Narrator does an amazing job bringing each character to life. Can't wait to see what the author does next.

Great Summer Read!

Great spooky read with some twists I wasn’t expecting. I thought it was a cool take on an abandoned campsite. Definitely something I would take as a vacation read. It’s short but keeps your attention. I was provided a copy of the audiobook for my unbiased review. Thank you to John Durgin for the copy. I’ll definitely be picking up your other book, The Cursed Among Us, when I’m able :)

ok story

The story was decent. Really needed a different narrator though. Sometimes the narration can make or break a story. This was one time where it really took away from the writing for me.
