Blurb from Back of Book
New York audiobook
narrator Peter Larson and his wife Hannah head to his hometown of Maple
City to help Peter's ailing father and to put a recent tragedy behind
them. Though the small, Midwestern town seems the idyllic place to start
afresh, Peter and Hannah will soon learn that evil currents flow
beneath its surface.
They move into an old farmhouse on the
outskirts of town—a house purchased by Peter's father at auction and
kept secret until now—and start to settle into their new life.
But as Peter sets up his recording studio in a small basement room,
disturbing things begin to occur—mysterious voices haunt audio tracks,
malevolent shadows creep about the house. And when an insidious presence
emerges from the woodwork, Peter must face old demons in order to save
his family and himself.
My Review
The Nightmare Room is such a great haunting tale. I have been mostly reading crime fiction lately and this paranormal horror novel was a fresh change of genres for me. I am a lover of great cover art and this one was really creepy and fit the story perfectly.
The author's writing style hooked me right from the beginning and kept me interested throughout. The dialog was realistic between characters. The story progressed smoothly and I thought I had figured out the ending but I was surprised (and wrong). The Nightmare Room is definitely a spooky read and I thoroughly enjoyed it!!
Thanks to the author for sending me an autographed copy of this awesome book. I can't wait to see what is to come in this series. Highly recommend!
