Utterly gripping and atmospheric.

From the very first sentence “She’s been watching us for a while now” the hairs were up on the back of my neck and i had a good idea that this was going to be one audiobook i would whizz through and i was right.
Heptonclough a small rural village is now the home to the Fletcher’s, Gareth, Alice and their three children Tom, Joe and little Millie. Setting up home in their newly built house which lies next to the old abandoned church and graveyard, this should be a happy time for them but it’s soon clear that not all is as it seems.
New Vicar Harry comes upon the Fletcher boys when he first arrives at the church and a friendship soon developes between himself and the Fletcher family. Harry feels an unease in the church and after being introduced to some of the villagers its apparent that they are hiding things and Harry may not be that welcome.
Many of the characters in this book had me thinking. Did they know more than they were letting on? Who is responsible? There wasn’t many that were very trustworthy and i love how the mystery and the tension builds.
I instantly felt a creepiness wash over me as soon as i started listening to Blood Harvest and that didn’t leave me until i was finished. The narrator Clare Corbett has done a fantastic job of setting the scene and drawing the listener straight in to the story.
This is only the second book i have read by Sharon Bolton but it certainly wont be the last. Blood Harvest is a very atmospheric book and it was very easy to feel like i was in the story, watching from the sidelines.
Usually when i listen to audio books i have to be busy or my concentration goes but with Blood Harvest i found myself snuggled up in bed listening and totally engrossed. I set the timer umpteen times and every time found myself making it longer so i could listen to more.
If you like creepy, chilling and utterly  absorbing books then Blood Harvest is definitely for you. I’m so looking forward to reading or listening to more by this author. This is a definite recommend from It’s all about the books.

Excellent

I've listened to all the other books in this series and about to start again!! This one is pretty spooky and gripping. It's was good to find new characters introduced which are in subsequent books. Great narrator. Thoroughly recommend Also listen to the series in correct order.

Fantastic!

Can't rate this highly enough. The narrator really brings the full cast of characters to life. I thought the performance was amazing especially considering that you have some scenes with dialogue between multiple characters with different accents. The Awakening and Sacrifice are excellent too.

Captivated

From the start to the finish I found this story compelling and easy to follow. All the stories from this author are brilliantly written.
I didn't know where the story was going to lead and how it was going to end, I was on the edge of my seat throughout. I couldn't stop listening.
The plot was well thought out and the characters were voiced perfectly. At some points I had goosebumps.
A must read for anyone who dares!!!

garbage!

Would you try another book written by S J Bolton or narrated by Clare Corbett?

never!

Would you ever listen to anything by S J Bolton again?

I have listened to 2 of her/his books, which were great, and so bought this one. The narrator has a terrible whiny voice, especially when doing the children's voices - I persevered and persevered, hoping it would get better, but the story was corny and excutiating - despite the 2 good books before, this one was so bad (and though I tried, I could not manage to finish it - as soon as my new credits became available, I bought something new, and cannot bare to go back to it) I will never purchase another book by this author or, most particularly, this narrator! I gave one star, purely so it registers as a choice! AWFUL!

What didn’t you like about Clare Corbett’s performance?

her voice was whingy and whining, too english, and the childrens' voices in particular, made my hackles rise when listening!!

You didn’t love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?

No, sorry - I endured it til halfway through the second part, and now, after getting a new book, which was great, I could not bear to go back to it!! I will never finish it.

Great listen

This was a great book. Halfway through you think it's about to finish, and then there's a whole extra part to it. My husband listened to this when running in the dark, and got a bit scared!
