Good flowing plots with enough twist and suspense. Always enjoy these stories. Given audio for my voluntary review and my honest opinion

I liked it

I was given this book for free from audiobook boom and asked to leave an unbiased review for the author and narrator. Change the name Rachel Harroway to Clyde Barker, pronouns she to he, cop to lawyer, Peck to Sara and the premise/story for this series is the same as the “Haunting of Rachel Harroway” and “Orphans” series. I’m not saying I didn’t like the stories, I’m all about the supernatural and ghost stories, but change things up Mr. Donovan, come up with different story lines and nix the masked serial killer lines, you’ve used that in 3 separate series now. What I’m basically saying is if you listened to the Rachel Harroway stories you’ve pretty much heard this series too. That being said I liked the story, and still think Mr. Donovan is a good writer, but just seems like a one trick pony at this point. He also needs to get a new proofreader and production team. “Hit the hardware floor”? Whats a hardware floor? “Knocking Clyde into his face”?? what does that even mean? Should have been something like it pulled him forward and Clyde knocked his face into the ground. “Clyde squatted next to the body caulk on the floor” what is a body caulk? I think it should have been the body’s chalk outline. I like Cheryl May’s voice. She attempts to make the story a production rather than just reading a book to you. She needs to work on her pronunciation though.
