    About this audiobook

    Jayce’s twenty-year-old daughter Emory is missing, lost in a dark, dangerous realm called Shadow that exists alongside our own reality. An enigmatic woman named Nicola guides Jayce through this bizarre world, and together they search for Emory, facing deadly dog-eaters, crazed killers, homicidal sex toys, and—worst of all—a monstrous being known as the Harvest Man. But no matter what Shadow throws at him, Jayce won’t stop. He’ll do whatever it takes to find his daughter, even if it means becoming a worse monster than the things that are trying to stop him.

      What a strange cadence the narrator has. However, he was good at adjusting his voice to each different character, but the cadence still kept pulling me out of the story.
      The story itself was ok, but for some unknown reason, didn't grab my attention as much as I, or the writer, would have liked. Enough to want to know if the protagonist finds his daughter, and in what condition, but not enough to have me hanging onto every word.
      A solid 'ok' listen.

      Well...not quite sure what I can say about this, but the blurb wasn't lying when it mentioned homidical sex toys! *gulp*
      There does seem to be such a small line between sex and horror, as most books written in this genre of horror have a lot of sex! It does remind me of the Richard Laymon era as I call it, where the line is always blurred!

      I feel like there should be another book! I must admit, I didn't always get what was going on, we had a Gladiator-style scene at one point, and because I was listening to the audiobook I did feel I might have missed something. However, this was a wild ride!

      Nicola was a character I adored by the end, but I wasn't happy by the end, despite her elation! LOL. It was interesting to see Jayce's journey of denial to acceptance as he rediscovers something he has ignored for so long!

      I enjoyed Tim's writing, it was free-flowing and fast-paced and the story didn't relent. Every page something was happening! It was crazy, and so much fun! I will definitely check out more by Tim, apart from Paranormal, this type of crazy, otherworldly horror is my favourite kind!

      I do, however, wonder what the heck I just read!!!!

      This book was my introduction to the author and almost immediately I knew I'd found a new name to add to my list of favourites. The story is utterly strange, in the very best of ways. Dark, mysterious, unpredictable. An emulsion of dark fantasy and horror set in a familiar contemporary setting that hides something entirely different. Each time I thought I knew the direction the book was taking, it veered off in another direction. There's plenty in here to make the reader uncomfortable, for various reasons, but it's not a book that's easy to put down.Many thanks to Flame Tree Press for the ARC. My review is my honest opinion.
