Description

Fried Green Tomatoes and Steel Magnolias meet Dracula in this Southern-flavored supernatural thriller set in the '90s about a women's book club that must protect its suburban community from a mysterious and handsome stranger who turns out to be a real monster.

Patricia Campbell's life has never felt smaller. Her ambitious husband is too busy to give her a goodbye kiss in the morning, her kids have their own lives, her senile mother-in-law needs constant care, and she's always a step behind on thank-you notes and her endless list of chores. The one thing she has to look forward to is her book club, a close-knit group of Charleston women united by their love of true crime and paperback fiction. At these meetings they're as likely to talk about the Manson family as they are marriage, motherhood, and neighborhood gossip.

This predictable pattern is upended when Patricia meets James Harris, a handsome stranger who moves into the neighborhood to take care of his elderly aunt and ends up joining the book club. James is sensitive and well-read, and he makes Patricia feel things she hasn't felt in 20 years. But there's something off about him. He doesn't have a bank account, he doesn't like going out during the day, and Patricia's mother-in-law insists that she knew him when she was a girl, an impossibility.

When local children go missing, Patricia and the book club members start to suspect James is more of a Bundy than a Beatnik, but no one outside of the book club believes them. Have they read too many true crime books, or have they invited a real monster into their homes?

I couldn’t put it down !

This was absolutely amazing. The narration was great, and the story was captivating. It was like Desperate Housewives meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I found myself laughing out loud and screaming in shock at]long the way.

Skip the middle.

The narrator for this novel is fantastic! Hands down the best I’ve listened too overall. She brings each character to life and does it with amazing ease.

The first half of the book is enjoyable as is the second half of part two. But, the middle? I’m not sure why the editor didn’t recommend rewrites to cut out multiple chapters. Honestly, I finally decided on skipping about 6 chapters in the beginning of section two.

Overall, an enjoyable listen.

Riveting!

I really enjoyed this book. The voice performance was great, the pacing of the horror totally worked for me, (long and drawn out tension, but with bursts of action) and I really wanted the heroine to succeed.

Amazing Narration

This was a fun listen. The sweet housewives put against gore was a different take. The narrator is EXCELLENT! One of the best I've listened to. Great voices in this book.

Maybe better in text?

I was excited about this one, but in listening to it I became quickly annoyed at the constant use of the word 'said'. Or perhaps it's how it was being read. I just mentally couldn't keep going.

Eminently readable!

Had me riveted from the very first sentence. The author has a way of making you love his characters. My favorite was Slick. A slightly different take on the vampire genre that kept me reading voraciously to the end.

Unexpectedly delightful.

I went into this expecting a goofy romp. It was a free download, so why not? Little did I know how surprised and delighted I would be. This was just the right amount of trashy to be fun, but the horror scenes literally gave me goosebumps and I could not stop listening.
