Suspenseful from the start!

Revisado: 02-19-17

I would like to say that I don't care for hunting, and there was a lot in the book, but it was very true to the time and place. I've lived most of my life in Texas. The last 20 years, I've lived in a place a lot like the area where the story unfolded, so I understand the hunting from a food standpoint. There are still a lot of poor people in Texas who hunt to have adequate food. I would like to say that there were some pretty gruesome parts, but they were a part of the story and added to the suspense. The juxtaposition of the innocence of childhood and the stark reality of a serial killer on the loose made for hair-raising suspense. There was a balance of good and evil. The characters were authentic and deep. Of course, being the 60s in the south, there were racial tensions, realistic to that time, but skillfully handled. I really liked listening to it, and I have already put the additional Red River Mysteries on my wish list.

Suprisingly Good!

Revisado: 01-03-17

I really enjoyed this book! I didn't think I would like a book about snooty, rich women, but I did. Frede was a great character, and a decent person inside. I know most people are multi-faceted, and it was a relief to see Frede become more real. It was nice to see her awaken from her society stupor and come to life. This is a great author. I will be reading all of her books. It was also a pleasure to hear Jenna Lamia again. I love listening to her!

Riveting!

Revisado: 01-27-13

This book was so engrossing, I couldn't stop listening! Sometimes I will fall asleep listening to a book. That didn't happen with this one. I couldn't even fall asleep when it was finished. I loved Hurwitz's characters, except for the ones I hated. The writing was excellent! It conveyed so much feeling of pathos and love and terror! I would love to read more from this author, but I don't know if my heart could stand it.

Scott Brick did a wonderful job reading the book! His portrayals were so convincing, and he was able to completely convey the emotions the author intended.

Wow!

This book was magical, exciting, and "ineffably" sweet! It was very well written. The narrator made the characters come alive. I loved it!

Awesome Book!

Revisado: 05-21-12

I finished this wonderful book with many tears. Most of my favorite Stephen King books are from his earlier books. However, this is an awesome book! Not only is this a work of amazing science fiction/horror, it is a beautiful, tender love story. It was hard to pull myself away from it long enough to recharge my iPod. Stephen King, you rock! :)

The narrator did an excellent job portraying the different characters and conveying the terror and the sweetness in his voice!

Well done! Let's dance! :)

It was like I was there!

Revisado: 03-18-12

I lived this book! I suffered and laughed and cried with the wonderfully developed characters. I was fearful for the people involved with the writing of the book in the story. I even had to stop listening for awhile, because I was afraid of what was coming. It was a relief to know that I'd had nothing to fear. This was a wonderful and amazing book! The readers did a superb job!

Thank you, Kathryn Stockett, for this book, and thank you for the glimpse into your own life at the end!

I loved this book!

Revisado: 01-16-12

This is an outstanding fantasy book! It is full of wonderful characters, adventure, and danger. I love books about magic and the supernatural, and this one fits the bill. I was riveted! The characters were very human and vulnerable but very courageous. I didn't want to stop listening. Victoria Laurie has written other great books, but this one is a classic.

Susan Duerden's portrayal of the characters is wonderful. She grabbed my attention and held it. I was amazed at her ability to create so many different voices.

The only complaint I have is that when I came back to Audible to look for the next book in the series, it wasn't here. Audible, please bring us Victoria's next book, The Curse of Deadman's Forest, and use Susan as the reader again! Thanks!
