Fun listen

It took me a little bit to figure out the time jumps in the book, but when I did, the story got going, and I was hooked. A relatively quiet tale of real world horror, where religion and obsession meet with bloody results. Comer tells a dark story where the main character Andrew Ballardtries to figure out who has killed his mother, and why his girlfriend has suddenly disappeared. Sean Duregger’s narration is well matched to the story and made it even more enjoyable. I was voluntarily provided this review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

Old Time Religion

This was my first A.S. Coomer novel. This is a story about a man who doesn't believe in god or religion. He's spent his time in school to learn differently. His mother doesn't agree with how he's living or the books he's written stating creation was different the bible. She's worried for his soul. This is very interesting story and it's hard to capture it in a review. I'll say it's worth your time. I loved it. If you go the audio book route Sean just gets better and better with his title narrates. He has a gift. Thou I wonder to people (myself included) sound like this? Anyways 5 star story and 5 star performance I'm defiantly a fan of A.S. Coomer and look forward to reading or listening to more if his tales.

Good story

A good solid well thought-out and we'll written story. psychological thriller. This is one story that will stick with you for a long time after you've finished it.

The narrator does an excellent job in his narration. The voices used are easy to tell which characters are talking.

I was provided a free review copy of this story. this is my honest opinion left voluntarily.

Thriller

I enjoyed this thriller it has a lot of psychological action with the main character Kevin Ballard whose mother and girlfriend are murdered and comes together when he gets his mother’s journal. Recommend if you enjoy thrillers with a bit of religion. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. Thank you

Chilling

This book gave a whole new meaning to the phrase "pay for your sins."

Kevin is a successful biology professor. Problem is, his parents, who were strictly religious, frowned on his chosen profession. Kevin doesn't let it affect him much, until news comes of his mother's brutal slaying. When Kevin goes back home, his girlfriend is kidnapped, and he fears the people who slayed his mother are responsible. When he finds his mother's journal, things start to come together, and he doesn't like the story that it all tells.

Although this was a rather short listen, it was an interesting take on horror that took religion and obsession to new and terrifying depths. I really wasn't sure what to expect with this story, but I love the psychological aspects behind the not knowing. The characters in this story were well-fleshed out and felt real. Especially the people in the church. The whole icy tone of the town really added to the worldbuilding and the suspense.

Narration was a perfect match to the story.
