Skellyman

By: Rie Sheridan Rose, Digital Fiction

Narrated by: Paul-Alexandre Petit

Brenda Barnett is trying to cope with raising her four-year-old daughter all alone after an accident tore her family in half. As she and Daisy go for a much-needed treat, the little girl spots a skellyman on the corner.

This pivotal encounter leads to a wave of mounting terror as Brenda's life begins to come undone around her.

Who is the Skellyman? Why does he keep appearing? Can the sympathetic policeman Brenda turns to stop the madness before it is too late? And why does Daisy insist her dead brother is trying to tell them something important?

So Much Fun

I enjoyed this one from top to bottom and I have to say (no spoilers!) it had an ending that I didn't see coming, which was nice and refreshing. Paul-Alexandre Petit does a superb job of narrating 'Skellyman,' especially his portrayal of four year old Daisy. It would be all too easy to fall into a trap of having that be super annoying, but Petit definitely rises to the challenge. A juicy mystery, a sordid past, the (possible) imagination of a child, skeletons and even a splash of romance; this story has a little something for everyone!

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

promising

i think i would have preferred to read this instead of listen. the story was inventive. the narrator just didn't fit at all though. there were times i cringed. ii think this book needed several narrators honestly
