About this listen

Medium and clairvoyant Simon Kincaide owns a Myrtle Beach boardwalk shop where he runs ghost tours, holds seances, and offers private psychic readings, making a fresh start after his abilities cost him his lover and his job as a folklore professor.

Jaded cop Vic D'Amato saw something supernatural he couldn't explain during a shootout several years ago in Pittsburgh and relocated to Myrtle Beach to leave the past behind, still skeptical about the paranormal. But when the search for a serial killer hits a dead end, Vic battles his skepticism to ask Simon for help.

As the body count rises, Simon's involvement makes him a target and a suspect. But Simon can't say no, even if it costs him his life and heart.

The book is pretty alright. Nothing surprising and no major plot twists. however the person who provided his voice for the listening book did an amazing job. it's a really nice book to put on during a run or a hike.

nice listen

Despite others’ fantastic reviews, when I first read Badlands I wasn’t quite sure I enjoyed it...and I couldn’t quite put my finger on why. I decided to buy the audiobook and I am so pleased I did; Kale Williams absolutely made the book for me with his narration. What a laid back, very masculine drawl! I had obviously made a picture of our leads, Simon and Vic, which didn’t do them justice but to hear the wonderful narration added dimension and flesh to the bones of the characters, particularly Simon who, if I remember correctly, was my main offender. I’ve remarked before that I don’t know why but sometimes my switch will be flicked by a word or action, and I just roll my eyes and plough through, not able to equate what I’m reading to the men I know in my life. Who knows! Back to the book; a well written, paranormal mystery romance with amiable characters and an interesting plot. The sex was descriptive but wasn’t too frequent (though lots of hardening from a look etc...I’m not a bloke, so not sure if this is a normal affliction...men obviously have fun times!) I will buy the next in the series, as I think that the author will have a few more adventures to pen. As I didn’t do the book justice, I will buy the audio and, fingers crossed, it will have the same narrator.

I’m glad I tried again!

My first audio by both Morgan Brice and Kale Williams. I had previously read the book and thought the audio complemented it beautifully. I love books involving police investigators, I also really love books with Psychic elements. Put the two together and I’m very happy.

Loved it

🎧🎧🎧🎧 Narration: 4 (really well read, wonderful voice, but character differentiation was hard to adapt to at times)

An awesome, thrilling, mystic love story. I loved it!

This story was a thrilling chase against a psychic serial killer, stealing the powers of low-level psychics and mystics around Myrtle Beach. Somewhat damaged and jaded, Vic must stop this serial killer but is confronted with the fact that this is not a normal case and if he really wants to solve it he must stretch his mind and accept that there is a whole nother world of ghosts, magic, and psychics. 

Simon Kincade (such a great name) is a psychic medium and clairvoyant and has been burned in the past. I really liked Simon and found his character very real, strong and kind. I enjoyed 'reading' about his gifts and found that Morgan's approach to this world was wonderfully detailed and even whimsical without being overdone. I was taken into this world and was along for the ride! 

I love the passion and chemistry between Vic and Simon and while they had their roadblocks I'm glad they could overcome them and find their way back to each other. 

I look forward to many more story of this duo, Myrtle Beach and the world Morgan has created. I loved it!!

Thanks for reading!

An awesome, thrilling, mystic love story.
