Good Spooks

The highlights for me with this story were the spooks and investigations. The areas and events that were being investigated by the friend group were highly original and made me need to finish the story. The ending was very satisfying. I loved the build up and about half way through the story really kicks in to high gear with a great payoff.

What detracted for me was how one-note the female character was, and the many, many references to drinking.

Overall, a fun read and a good book to listen to on a road trip. Definitely worth checking out.

I got a code to listen to the book by the author. All thoughts on this book are my own.

Fantastic !!

I loved how this story was based on real people and places. Being from Glendora i was able to picture all of the settings in the story. Loved the characters the humor the violence and way it kept me listening to the end! 10/10

Forgotten Cemetery

A group of young adults are bored with their routine of getting together to drink, eat and watch horror movies. So, they decide to delve into ghost hunting! What could possibly go wrong? Little do they know that their hometown is the site of a bizarre cult centered in the local Pioneer Cemetery! The story moves at a fast pace and there is plenty of horror and gore.

However, I did get a bit tired of the lengthy descriptions of their drives through town (maybe if I was a local to the area it would have been more enjoyable). Also, so many descriptions of what foods they ordered from the local eateries and what they were drinking every time they got together! Also, the ending felt a little rushed to me and not very believable.

The narrator did a good job and kept the story moving. All in all, a fun read, but I think it could have been better with more historical background. I will definitely be on the lookout for more books by this author.
