ABANDONED

A Lively Deadmarsh Novel, Book 2: Beginnings and Betrayals

By: Katie Berry

Narrated by: Alex Knox

Katie Berry continues the interwoven saga of Lively and Minerva Deadmarsh and Chief Inspector John Harder in this second book in the Lively Deadmarsh series.

Some questions are finally answered, but others arise as Lively and Minerva find the Sinclair Resort Hotel to be much more than it seems. In a bold attempt to uncover more of what transpired 40 years before, the pair formulate a plan that will either help them immensely or doom them completely.

Chief Inspector John Harder continues his official investigation to peel back the intricate web of mystery surrounding the Sinclair Incident. Along the way, he discovers that he may have a far greater role to play in things than he'd initially thought and that the stakes are more personal than he could have ever imagined.

So Far So Good...

This is a story in 4 parts, not 1 book and it's sequel(s) and if I have a complaint it's that I didn't know that going in, I had already bought 1&2 before realizing there were two more as yet unpublished volumes.
But being halfway through the story I am enjoying it. Katie's Deadmarsh Twins are enjoyable both in character and in the number of literary, pop culture, and music references they make. The mystery is intriguing, and loaded with a number of theories about quantum physics and the nature of the universe(s) but also feature some good old-fashioned spookiness. But if this book interests you my recommendation would be to wait until all 4 parts are published and take it all in one fell swoop.

Book 2 still good but not as good as 1. Started getting complicated.

My interest still being held but starting to mix too many different ideas together. I worry about book 3.

Clever cliff hanger!

The author throws in the paranormal with provable science. Very good combo, leaves the reader intrigued.

Confusing

This looks was so hard to follow, it was a smooth transition between time-line. I tried to restart this book 5 times and still was lost. This book has to much going on all at once. it was too much work to listen to it , I could only imagine the difficulty reading it. you would need a note book to write things down.
