About this listen
Ashley and Maurice are in love and heading to her hometown for the holidays and to share the good news with her family. Those two things are enough to drive any young man to drink, but add the fact that he's from the south and Afro-American, heading to the rural upstate town of Arcadia Falls, NY, where the reputation of toothless and inbred rednecks scares even the streetwise kids from North Carolina, and Maurice knows the ride will be anything but smooth... Nevertheless, they are truly in love and Maurice is sure he's encountered worse on the gang-filled streets of Durham. He is wrong...
After a series of practical jokes go wrong, Maurice is introduced to the Vanslycke family, where the party really starts. An overzealous brother and a promiscuous bartender are the least of his concerns. Four strangers are about to enter the Torchlight Inn and change their lives forever. Blood begins to flow as the faux Fab Four hunt for "The One" and won't leave until they find them. Nobody is safe. Can the young lovers escape? Who is "The One?" What do the Frightful Four want? Welcome, grab a drink, and settle in for a night at The Torchlight Inn.

Jeremy Crawford, husband of best-selling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish.

Ryder, Garrett, Kenzo, and Diesel - The Vipers. Their deals are as sordid as their business, and their reputation is enough to bring a grown man to his knees, forcing him to beg for mercy. They are not people you mess with, yet my dad did. The old man ran up a debt with them and then sold me to cover his losses. Yes, sold me. They own me now. I’m theirs in every sense of the word. But I’ve never been meek and compliant.

Beckett: If you’re reading this, well, you know the last-letter drill. You made it. I didn’t. Get off the guilt train, because I know if there was any chance you could have saved me, you would have. I need one thing from you: get out of the army and get to Telluride. My little sister Ella’s raising the twins alone. She’s too independent and won’t accept help easily, but she has lost our grandmother, our parents, and now me. It’s too much for anyone to endure. And here’s the kicker: there’s something else you don’t know that’s tearing her family apart.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 2,026
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

A twisty an very violent novella!
What did you love best about Tones of Home?
The twists.
What other book might you compare Tones of Home to and why?
Richard Laymon because of the violence and interesting characters.
What does Jared Pike bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
His voices really helped to discern characters.
Any additional comments?
"Tones of Home" is a novella about a college-age engaged couple going home to meet the future-wife's parents. Maurice and Ashley are meeting "Daddy" in a "redneck"-y all-white bar. Oh, the catch? Maurice is a black man. Within minutes, a bar-fight ensues. "Daddy" breaks it up, and Maurice meets his future father-in-law for the first time... and then the twists begin...
At the start, the story plays on the reader's own ideas of racism, and it plays with your ideas of what will happen next. Yes, there are some stereotypes... or are there? The book keeps you guessing, but let me give you a bit of advice: Don't guess. Just go with the ride. I guessed a lot, and it just distracted me.
The reader of the audiobook works well-enough. When he started out, I almost felt like I was listening to a children's book. But that feeling went away by chapter 3. I think it was his higher voice for the female characters.
The book is a novella (about 3 hours of reading time...give-or-take). But the size is right for the story. There isn't any filler...
..Unless you call castration, blood, and gore "filler." That's right, this book is full of extreme gore after the first 6 chapters. Including: A person getting-off on their torture of others, exposed spines, sickly crunches, machete slicings, shotguns blasting people to pieces, etc...
If you hate books with intricate descriptions of killing and torture, don't get this book! It is NOT for everyone. I felt plenty of sickness during the tumultuous ride of "Tones of Home."
Fun bit: the chapter titles are all songs by The Beatles... and there is a reason for this. Also, the paperback has a Beatles-like picture on the front.
