About this audiobook
Devil's Island. An abandoned island in the Caribbean Sea with a dark and bloody past. An island with a terrible secret.
Nick Gorman, billionaire movie producer, assembles a team of ghost hunters and scientists to investigate the Thornhill Manor on Devil's Island-the most haunted place in the world that no one's ever heard of. He's there to find proof of ghosts, evidence of an afterlife . . . but he's also there to uncover the secret that is hidden on the island . . . to possess it.
The ghost hunting team is led by Shane Edwards who lost his TV show in a scandal and now is a disgrace in the ghost hunting world; this is his chance to redeem himself and revive his career. But as soon as he steps foot on Devil's Island, he realizes that the fears from the Cranston House, a house he and his friend entered on a dare when they were twelve years old, fears he thought he had overcome, are all coming back. And everyone on the team is facing their darkest fears, the island somehow bringing them to life.
As Nick gets closer to unearthing the secret on the island, Shane begins to wonder if any of them will survive their two night stay on Devil's Island.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Enjoyed this audiobook which was well written and the narration superb, the perfect storm for sure. The horror was not especially scary but the narrator made the horror suspenseful and characters come alive. The plot was excellent and each scene was so well developed that you were actually there living the moment.
Horror fans will love this audiobook as well as thriller and suspense fans. Excellent job all the way from beginning to end. It didn't miss an opportunity to tweak the listener into wanting that next page to turn. Enjoy. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book was creepy and chilling!
A small backstory:
Nick Gorman is a famous Hollywood producer and he gathers a team together of ghost hunters along with a couple of scientists as he knows of an island that is considered to be haunted and he wants to film a documentary of the haunting.
When the team arrive to the island they find out that there is a house called Thornhill Manor where they will be staying which is also haunted as people have been injured there and no one ever wants to stay in the manor.
Though Nick has other reasons that he brought the team to the island as he is in search of something that he learned while in the process of researching the island, but he does not divulge the true reason to the team. The team soon learns that the house and island are haunted and they will be fighting for their lives before all is said and done as when the house comes alive there truly will be no escape!
Why is the island and the manor haunted? What secret is Nick keeping from the team? Does the team make it out alive? No spoilers here as you will just need to read the book!
Thoughts:
This was a great creepy atmospheric haunting and this was my first time reading this author as well. The writing style just flowed along smoothly and the world building of the island/manor slowly built up to a crescendo until finally the author lowered the boom and the haunting went into
full blown ghost mode!
The last half of the book I could barely put it down as so much was happening within the story from chapter to chapter that I had nights where I just couldn't sleep as I wanted to keep reading to see what the team had to experience next. Giving this story five "Macabre Manor" stars!
