Buried

By: Sian B. Claven

Narrated by: Christopher Shelby Slone

Home is where the heart is...or the hatred. You can feel the love and care someone puts into their home just by walking into it. Equally, you can feel the hatred and malice when you step into a home where dark deeds have been done.

Alex and his team of so-called paranormal investigators are given the opportunity of a lifetime, when they are able to film inside one of the most haunted, and cursed, locations in their area. The Jackson Mansion.

The thing that makes this mansion truly unique is that it is built completely underground. Determined to uncover the dark secrets of the mansion's past, and prove himself a notable investigator, Alex doesn't care what it takes.

The mansion, however, has other ideas, as well as some rather restless occupants.

A well-written story from a very good author

Buried, my first read from author Sian B. Claven. Reminiscent of Joe Hill's Locke & Key series. Extremely well-written, the characters, even the minor ones, are well developed with a creepy, attention-grabbing storyline. I’m a character reader, I get into the characters. Who and what they are. Why do they do the things they do. The things that make the reader get invested in the characters and thereby the story. I’ll be reading more from this author, I look forward to her next book no matter the main character. “I received a free Audible copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review." The gifting of this book did not affect my opinion of it. Christopher Shelby Slone's narration fits the book perfectly! (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

"Once you enter, you can never leave."

I enjoyed this creepy, crazy thriller so much, I listened to it two times! "Once you enter, (this mansion) you can never leave." Meet the Jackson family and their mansion. Cursed? Ghosts? Haunted? A film crew enters to document, debunk the haunted house theory. Do any make it out alive???
I loved the narrator. He tells this story with just the right amount of expression. He reads it rapidly, but very distinctly. Well done.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book from Story Origin.

The haunted house draws you in and shuts the door

A paranormal investigator TV-show crew visits a haunted house, and meets ghosts who are not done with their stories or, soon, the investigators. Genuinely scary, weird, gross, sexy, and loads of fun. I look forward to more from Claven! The whole "haunted house with ghosts from different times" is hard to pull off, but Claven did a great job with it.

Christopher Shelby Slone had a great voice for the tone of the story - authoritative but intimate, like a friend telling you a scary story and doing a great job at it.

Good old fashioned horror

This was a good old fashioned horror story and I really liked the ending. Quite twisted and entertaining at the same time.

Intense

This was a great thriller. Within the first chapter you are so into it and disgusted at the same time but wanting more. If you like a mystery of a house that has so many killers this is the book for you. I read it early in the morning with it still being dark outside. My house became creepy.

Received this Arc in exchange for an honest reveiw.
