Story4 out of 5 stars 316
State Road 177 runs along the Suwannee River, between Fargo, Georgia, and the Okefenokee Swamp. Drive that route from east to west, and you'll cross six bridges. Take it from west to east, and you might find seven. But you'd better hope not. Titus and Melanie Bell leave their hotel in Fargo for a second honeymoon canoeing the Okefenokee Swamp. But shortly before they reach their destination, they draw up to a halt at the edge of a rickety bridge with old stone pilings, with room for only one car....

Narrator really brought this story to life
Reviewed: 10-14-24
This was a different take on the local monster tale and I really liked it, but the narration enhanced the story and made it my favorite listen this year. Each character was well defined and recognizable from the others. Kudos!!

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 52
It began as their dream home...but soon became their worst nightmare. From award-winning writer Brandon Massey comes a riveting thriller of the supernatural invading the lives of an ordinary family. Len and Olivia Bowden had been seeking the ideal home in which to raise their daughter, Kennedy. The classic Victorian in a historic Atlanta neighborhood had everything they were looking for: lots of room in which to grow, friendly neighbors, and best of all, a bargain price, the result of a bank foreclosure. Hardly able to believe their good fortune, they move in and begin making plans for a ...

Get rid of virtual voice!!

Liked the story, not the performance
Reviewed: 05-25-24
While I like the tale, the virtual voice made enough pronunciation errors to break the flow and left me momentarily scratching my head over what it said. This is the second virtual voice book I've listened to and like the first, I found the monotone made it hard sometimes to know which character was speaking during dialogues, While these voices are pleasant, the lack of exclamation and emotion hamper your imagination, makes it hard to get into the story. I kept thinking, "don't they proof-listen this stuff ?"

Not for me
Didn't seem to be a story, just two women mentally complaining about each other interspersed with beach scenes. Hope it leads to some great discovery of mutual understanding, but I got bored waiting. This is the first book I couldn't get interested in.

Awful story. Waste of time.
Reviewed: 06-10-21
No resolution to any of the tales. Too much animal gore and wandering around in characters minds without any real development. Hard to keep my attention focused. Just all around bad.

Story5 out of 5 stars 4,059
The sequel to the number one Audible Best Seller Earthcore, Mount Fitz Roy continues the tale of Patrick O’Doyle and Bertha Lybrand, who were part of the horror show that occurred far below the mountains of Utah. They learn that the "mother of all motherlodes” discovered there was not unique, that there is another deposit similar to it three miles beneath the towering peak of Cerro Chaltén on the disputed border between Chile and Argentina. O'Doyle, a middle-aged former member of a disgraced black-ops unit, gets his aging team back together to go after this fortune.

Loved Earthcore and have been waiting ever since for a sequel. Scott expands on the origin of the aliens and tied up the fate of the survivers, nicely.

At first, it looks like a disease. An epidemic that spreads through no known means, driving its victims mad with memories of a life they never lived. But the force that’s sweeping the world is no pathogen. It’s just the first shock wave, unleashed by a stunning discovery - and what’s in jeopardy is not our minds but the very fabric of time itself. In New York City, Detective Barry Sutton is closing in on the truth - and in a remote laboratory, neuroscientist Helena Smith is unaware that she alone holds the key to this mystery...and the tools for fighting back.

Loved the premise of this story.
Reviewed: 01-18-20
When I got to the second half, I couldn't stop listening. This is the first time in the ten plus years of listening to an audio book that I put my life on hold to listen straight through. Now I ponder my own memories, my own strong flash points. I really loved the premise of this story. I wonder if I'll see it made into a series someday, and if they'll do it justice or kill it with PC adaptations.
