13

By: Julie Elizabeth Powell

Narrated by: Don Warrick

What is found within the depths of the human soul? Does wickedness linger, as if the Devil's thumb is ready to pluck the strings of certain choices? And with the strumming, just how far will Evil spread?

13 is the story of random souls pitted against the tragedy of the modern world. What is their connection, if any? Nameless; are these merely humans whose weaknesses force them to commit heinous crimes, or demons under the skin, aware of their sins yet indifferent to the outcome?

Will they decipher the unknown and make it out alive?

Murder, murder everywhere

This was an interesting read. Each chapter before the final one has various characters either being killed or murdering someone. There was one chapter where the crime was theft. Each chapter is the name of a card from a deck. You don't think the stories are related to each other until you get to the last chapter. There the stories merge together in a mad dash for a "winner".

This story was dark and graphic in some places. If that isn't your taste in books, you might want to pass this one by. But if you can handle a little of the darker side to life or it doesn't bother you.....read on! It's worth the read to get to the end.

Weird!

I'm giving this a 2 because it's not really my thing. I didn't really like the first 13 chapters, especially chapter 6. I pretty much hated chapter 6. I don't enjoy reading sexually violent stories. Now, while chapter 6 wasn't very descriptive about the events, there was enough insinuation to throw me off. The best, and almost only chapter that I enjoyed, was the last one, chapter 14. I thought the author did a good job creating the plot of and reason behind Fool's game. Other than that, I didn't really enjoy this story. I will more than likely not be reading/listening to this one again.
