The Ashes

The Rebecca Underhill Trilogy, Book 2

By: Vincent Zandri

Narrated by: Evie Cameron

Horror in the dark woods

It's been eight years since artist and single mom Rebecca Underhill was abducted and left to die in an old broken down house located in the middle of the dark woods. But even if her abductor, Joseph William Whalen, has since been killed, another, more insidious evil is once more out to get her in the form of the Skinner. The son of an abusive butcher, Skinner intends on finishing the job Whalen started but failed at.

How is he going to get to Rebecca?

He's going to do it through her children, by luring them into the cornfield behind the old farmhouse they live in.

Horror in the depths

Now, armed with the knowledge that the Skinner has escaped incarceration at a downstate facility for the criminally insane, Rebecca must face the most horrifying challenge of her adult life: rescuing the children not from a house in the woods, but from the abandoned tunnels that run underneath her property.

But the Skinner is watching Rebecca's every move.

The horrifying question is, will she live long enough to save the children?

The Ashes- A Decent Suspense Thriller

The Ashes reminded me a little of Children of the Corn meets Leatherface. The storyline was consistent and maybe a little cliched however it was still good. In fact, I almost listened to this in one sitting. I liked the character of Rebecca a lot. She was likeable and well-developed. The skinner was a little frightening though. I would think this audiobook could've even been listen as horror even though it was mildly scary. Overall, I thought it was good writing by Vincent Zandri.

Evie Cameron's performance was excellent. Hers was the perfect voice for this audiobook. She had nice voice inflections along with some trepidation adding a feeling of edginess to the characters. Great job.

A very scary, heart pumping story.

This book makes you jump at shadows. The narrator makes this author story seem like one of the horror movies. I received this audiobook for free and voluntarily reviewed.

Creepy good!

What made the experience of listening to The Ashes the most enjoyable?

This was a creepy story that kept me listening from start to finish. It is a good story with a good narration.

What about Evie Cameron’s performance did you like?

Evie Cameron was an excellent narrator. She was very easy to listen to.

Any additional comments?

The story was easy to follow and flowed along nicely. Even though this is the second book in the trilogy and I hadn't listened to the first one, I didn't feel as though I was at a loss as to what led up to this point. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

Excellent Thriller

Any additional comments?

When I began this audio book, I was unaware that I was listening book 2 of a trilogy (I am silly, I know) so I was a bit confused throughout the beginning. Though I didn't start the trilogy at the beginning, ultimately I was able to understand what as going on and found the story to be thrilling and hard to put down! I am now very interested in going back to hear the first one and then on to the third! I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a strong female protagonist and a good mystery/thriller. Zandri weaves an enthralling tale while Evie Cameron delivers a fantastic voice performance. 10/10
