Keeps you invested from the start!

Revisado: 01-25-23

Hellbent is a fitting follow up for The Ninth House, but if you are looking for a happy ending look elsewhere. The story and characters are well rounded and both relatable and aspirational while somehow being absolutely infuriating. It is a dark and macabre look at secret knowledge and the childish desire for magic. If you liked the first book you will like this, but be prepared for it to get dark and stay there.

Claustrophobic thriller not for the faint of heart

Revisado: 11-27-22

While I found it a little slow to start I couldnt turn it off once it got going. I will let you know that if you are looking for an out and out horror novel, or you are looking for a lot of gore, this is not that book. If you want an engaging plot with characters you root for and are invested in their success or failure, then this adventurous thriller is for you.

The story was thought out and the danger, both the immediately obvious and that which was hidden, were compelling. Honestly, I picked this up as something I thought would be a run of the mill adventure gone wrong story I could fall asleep to on a long plane trip.... I now have terrible jet lag and not sorry about that in the least. I finished The Anomaly and immediately get the next book.

A thriller for lovers of fantasy and rock stars!

Revisado: 11-02-21

While I truly have nothing bad to say about this novel I would not recommend it to the faint of heart. The story is a harsh one with a hero who you can only see as the good guy when you see how terrible the villain is. That said the Main character is charming at times, even relatable in a morally grey sort of way, and clever enough that you root for him even when he is an ass. All of the supporting cast of characters feel like a worthy investment for the story and any future books. If you are not a fan of gore or gritty thrillers this not the book for you. The story itself feels like a fever dream taking place somewhere in between American Psycho and CBGB by way of the Necronomicon. If that sounds interesting to you definitely check this one out.

The performance was perfectly done and I will be on the look out for more from this voice performer and author in the future.

Great Thriller... perfect for a road trip!

Revisado: 09-14-21

This is a great thriller with snappy dialogue and a compelling plot. This is a culmination of two different series though and if you have not read the Jessica Blackwood and Theo Cray books you may be lost. However both of those series are well worth your time if you are a lover of thriller mysteries.

None stop action

Revisado: 09-07-21

I am a fan of the Jessica Blackwood series and this book does not disappointe my high expectations. This is a great book for a long commute or a road trip. Lots of action packed chapters and brilliant villains for Jessica to spare. If you like fast paced thrillers this one is for you.

Part Suspenseful Mystery, Part Dark Academia

Revisado: 02-15-21

If you like a good mystery you will love this. Murder and the ancient moody campus of this book make for an immersive world. The performance was great and the story engaging enough that I made time to listen to this book while I could try and piece together what would come next. The author has left just enough bread crumbs that you can see the next part coming, and even though you do it is still shocking. I loved the way this book makes you feel like you have joined Ivy yourself and are listening to Tom and Paul explain there discoveries over coffee. The book hovers somewhere between academic fantasy and gothic love story to all the classics. Definitely pick this one up.

if you like John Dies at the End you'll like this!

Revisado: 01-21-20

The story is short and sweet. The narration is full of personality and the characters are engaging. I have to say that the structure takes a little bit to get used to but if you are familiar with some other reality bending novels like anything by David Wong you shouldn't have any trouble diving in. I actually found myself laughing out loud to this and rooting for the Chip the whole way through. if you are into weird science, snappy dialogue, and relatable characters in not so relatable circumstances then please pick this one up.

Great start to an engaging series!

Revisado: 11-01-19

I loved this book. It is great for any thriller reader. The first chapter was a bit of a stumbling block, but the rest of the story kept me completely engaged. The voice performance was excellent and definitely convinced me to read the rest of Jessica's stories.

Good Road Trip Book

Revisado: 07-15-19

I really liked the writing, and the characters were fully flushed out, but I really struggled to finish this. The story is intriguing and the prose is really beautiful. If you are a fan of noir mystery or gritty detective stories chances are you'll like this novel. I found the story slow in a few places and the protagonist too sure that he was smarter than the reader, so if you like an unreliable narrator or dislikable narrator you will probably love this. Ultimately though I didnt feel like the ending justified the novel's slow burn set up. If you have a long road trip or work commute this would be a good pick.

Can't go wrong

Revisado: 05-05-19

I loved this book. It has all the dark wit and quick pacing you expect from Gaiman and Pratchett. the story is fun and not so complicated that you couldn't enjoy this while running errands or something. Jarvis' performance really made the whole book really come to life.
