When retired FBI Agent Patrick Henderson calls in an 'X-Ray Sierra India' incident, the operator doesn't understand. He tells them to pass it up the chain till someone does. That person is FBI Special Agent Kimberley Reynolds. Leaving Quantico for snowbound Northern Wisconsin, she finds that a tornado has flattened half the town—and there's no sign of Henderson. Things soon go from weird to worse, as neighbors report unsettling sightings, key evidence goes missing, and the snow keeps rising—cutting off the town, with no way in or out . . .

Narration does, indeed, drag this down
Revisado: 10-15-23
Could it really be that bad, as bad as pretty much everyone else has said here in the reviews? Yes. Yes, it can. I tried listening to this and was certainly interested to get a story from another point of view/character in this series but I just couldn't. Narration was annoying and the overuse of 'my Mama says' by the author was just not enjoyable. Returned this one and will look for the story in print.

Fans of both Percy Jackson and Indiana Jones will be captivated by the lost civilizations, ancient secrets, and buried treasure found in the third book of the Ashtown Burials series, an action-packed adventure by N. D. Wilson, the author of Leepike Ridge and the 100 Cupboards trilogy.

worst narrator, ruins an excellent story
Revisado: 09-21-22
thankfully I am familiar with this fabulous series and was able to look beyond the terrible narration to enjoy the story being told. If you have made it this far, with such a mediocre, miserable narrator, you can understand how good this series is. I don't blame you if you had to return the book because the narrator's interpretations of characters were almost offensively stereotypical and fit the worst cliches you could think of when it comes to voice work. I was truly cringing throughout portions of the book and the other two because of how bad this narrator is. Speed it up a bit and it is better. Not good but better. Such a shame for an exciting story!

It's been almost a year since Cyrus and Antigone Smith earned their places as Journeymen at Ashtown, home of an ancient order of explorers that has long guarded the world's secrets and treasures. While their studies go well, Cy and Tigs are not well liked since losing the Dragon's Tooth to the nefarious Dr. Phoenix. The Tooth is the only object in the world capable of killing the long-lived transmortals, and Phoenix has been tracking them down one-by-one, and murdering them.

great story is ruined by TERRIBLE narration
Revisado: 06-27-22
This is a great series, not just for young readers, and it is a total shame that such a poor narrator was given this book. It is truly awful, one of the worst I have heard. Speeding it up a bit helps but only a little. This series is totally worth reading so if the audio version is your first and only experience with it, do yourself a favor and get the physical book. I want something that I can listen to but not really have to pay attention to so I'm keeping this book in my Audible library . . . still, if only this had been read by someone with more skill and nuance, it could have been such a great listen.
