Where They Wait

A Novel

De: Scott Carson

Narrado por: Robert Petkoff

A “mesmerizing” (Stephen King) supernatural novel about a sinister mindfulness app with fatal consequences from the New York Times bestselling author of The Chill.

In this “taut, creepy techno-chiller” (Paul Tremblay, author of A Head Full of Ghosts), recently laid-off newspaper reporter Nick Bishop takes a humbling job: writing a profile of a new mindfulness app called Clarity.

The app itself seems like a retread of old ideas—relaxing white noise and guided meditations. But then there are the “Sleep Songs.” A woman’s hauntingly beautiful voice sings a ballad that is anything but soothing—it’s disturbing, and more of a warning than a relaxation—but it works. Deep, refreshing sleep follows.

So do the nightmares. Vivid and chilling, they feature a dead woman who calls Nick by name and whispers guidance—or are they threats? And her voice follows him long after the song is done. As the effects of the nightmares begin to permeate his waking life, Nick makes a terrifying discovery: no one involved with Clarity has any interest in his article. Their interest is in him.

Quite entertaining

Surprisingly well written, and very well performed.
It held my interest, but the plot wears a bit thin at the end.

Just ok

it was a good story but it wasn't super captivating. The narrator is robotic at times.

What a Thriller!

Just as Stephen King said in his recommendation about this book, you will be a hundred pages in before you even realize that it's a supernatural thriller. And what a thriller it is. First off, I never write a review unless I'm crazy about the book. I couldn't stop thinking about the characters. I looked for excuses to do things that would allow me to listen to it. The book was so well paced and pleasing in every way, that I was sad when it was finished. It had just the right balance of everything. You will not regret using a credit!

Surprisingly good

I wouldn't have selected this, from the first listen. I thought Petkoff was a bit flat, but his accents pulled it together. The Story was a slow start, but once it got going, it was really good. Psychological, Suspenseful, good Mystery.

Loved the narrator especially.

Great story with an awesome narrator. I'll be looking into what else this author has done. (as well as the narrator)
