Publisher's Summary

An ancient evil rises...burns...kills....

After a fire consumes the Heller Home for Children, the residents of Morganville, North Carolina thought they knew evil....

They were wrong.

Unaware of the turmoil in their new hometown, the Littles—David, Kate, and seven-year-old Becca—are moving from New York City to Morganville in hopes of repairing their own lives, which were recently shattered by an act of sexual violence.

Before long, David realizes that his family's troubles are worse than he could ever have imagined.

An ancient demon lurks beneath the town of Morganville, an unholy creature conjured into existence by the Heller Home tragedy.

Its name is Moloch.

It is hungry for the souls of the townspeople.

But most of all, Moloch wants the children. It will not rest until it has them.

All of them.

UGH!

I had to stop listening to this poorly-written, horribly-narrated book. The characters are so one-dimensional it is ridiculous; the plot is so dull and flimsy that I think the author (and I use that word lightly) figured if he threw in some gay/straight porn it would make the storyline more interesting. Bad decision because it's just really. really irksome and only exemplifies what an awful novel this is. Oh, Audible, how desperate are you to publish such a piece of trash?

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
