The Devil Crept In

By: Ania Ahlborn

Narrated by: Eric Michael Summerer

Young Jude Brighton has been missing for three days, and while the search for him is in full swing in the small town of Deer Valley, Oregon, the locals are starting to lose hope. They're well aware that the first 48 hours are critical and after that, the odds usually point to a worst-case scenario. And despite Stevie Clark's youth, he knows that, too; he's seen the cop shows. He knows what each ticking moment may mean for Jude, his cousin and best friend.

That, and there was that boy, Max Larsen - the one from years ago, found dead after also disappearing under mysterious circumstances. And then there were the animals: pets gone missing out of yards. For years, the residents of Deer Valley have murmured about these unsolved crimes...and that a killer may still be lurking around their quiet town. Now, fear is reborn - and for Stevie, who is determined to find out what really happened to Jude, the awful truth may be too horrifying to imagine.

Another 5 Star For Ahlborn

Any additional comments?

This is a well told, unique story. I'm a fan of Ania Ahlborn because there is no particular formula to her stories. This one is no exception. It is somewhat creepy and disturbing, not so much scary, but I really enjoyed it. I didn't want it to end. If you like a good story, are good with being a bit disturbed and don't need warm fuzzies when you complete a novel, give this one a go.

Ania Ahlborn is a brilliant story teller!!

Absolutely thoroughly enjoyed this from cover to cover!! I find Ania Ahlborn to be an incredible writer with great characters that bloom on the page! I’ve read everything she’s written that I can get my hands on. I’m a Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Jeff Strand fan! And Ania Ahlborn can keep up with some of the best.

Spooky and compelling

Great writing and a twisted story combined with great narration makes for a “can’t stop listening” experience. Move over Stephen King.. you have some competition! I’m adding Ania Ahlborn to my favorites list.

Crazy

I love the story I love the narrated it was very good. I just hate my name. Leave a story making you want to hear more but that’s OK I’ll read more of her books.

Well, I didn't sleep for 2 days

pretty great, just the main character kind of annoyed me with his speech patterns.
