What about J. Scott Bennett’s performance did you like?

He performed very good

Any additional comments?

This is a really a good book and a great way to start a new series. Paxton Locke is a young man with special skills . He thought that he was safe from that past, but a series of events brings them all crashing back at him. Good first book in the series

Mommy Dearest on Steroids

When you tell someone their mother is a witch, those are usually fighting words. In Paxton Locke’s case, the words are true and she lives up to her moniker. Paxton mother is now in prison and he’s determined to keep her there, but she has an awfully long reach.

Author Daniel Humphreys combines familial angst and paranormal to create an engaging story unique in its telling.

J. Scott Bennett has fully voiced this nearly 7-hour audiobook and does a fantastic job. His narrating style is expressive and a perfect match for this genre.

Ghosts, witches and evil

I really enjoyed this entertaining audiobook that tells the story of a ghost hunter with a really evil, psychotic mother. You can not help but become attached to Paxton, he is a flawed, reluctant hero who eliminates ghost from the world and has a past that would leave mental scars the size of the Grand Canyon on anyone. This book has action, ghosts, witches, suspense, magic, interesting twists and evil abound. Scott Bennett did an excellent job of the narration. He gave the characters individual voices, brought the tension and creepiness out and moved the story forward at just the right pace. This book easily draws you in and keeps you entertained right to the end.

Surprising.

Any additional comments?

I must admit this book turned out quite different from what I expected. From the summary I was expecting it to be more ghost focused, and while there were definitely ghosts involved, it was more magic centric. That being said, it was still quite an interesting tale. I don't want to put in any spoilers, but Paxton, the protagonist, has had quite a rough life and one heck of a twisted family situation, and in a way I am mad at the author for how he only teases us with Paxton's mother. That being said, he must be doing something right because I want to know what happens next.

The book is narrated by J. Scott Bennett, who once again does an excellent job and he is quickly becoming a favorite of mine. He has a unique voice with a smooth relaxed delivery.

Bob @ Platypire Reviews

*I requested and received a code for this audio book via Audiobook Boom!*

Okay so, about halfway through this, I was thinking I was going to give a good, solid, 4 star rating. It flows really well, the story plot is wonderful, and I love the cast of characters. But it just kept getting more and more fleshed out, more of the past being revealed a little at a time, but without seeming like it was just teasing or being done to create tension. It was really well done! I loved Paxton’s little references and snarkisms sprinkled throughout, it really made him more real and likeable to me. The little details put in to help the story along were fabulous, too. What I’m trying to say is that this is a great book lol.

And it gets better, too! I’m so used to books ending right in the middle of a story these days, that every time a chapter ended, I had to hold my breath and hope it wasn’t over. And I was NOT disappointed. You get the whole of this story, while it still ends with a continuation. But, if for some reason you chose not to continue on in the series (not me, I’m totally sticking with it!), you wouldn’t be left wanting.

If you like occult, mystery, paranormal, anything along those lines, I really think you’ll enjoy this. Five Platypires for the story

The narrator was a perfect fit as well. Great tone and pace, he really made the snarky comments sound good! His voice was pleasant while still able to create tension when it was needed, and sounded shocked when that was called for. Great voice casting! Five Platypires here, too.

So, overall, 5 Platypires!!

Entertaining PNR Ghost Hunter Listen

Any additional comments?

I was provided this audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review. I enjoyed this audiobook that reminded me of the current TV Shows my husband likes to watch like Ash vs Evil Dead. This audiobook was full of humor, suspense and mystery. I love J. Scott Bennett as a narrator because he is very excellent at bringing any story or characters to life. If you like or love paranormal stories, this is a good one for you.

A great start to a new paranormal series

I thoroughly enjoyed this fist story about Paxton Locke. Good vs Evil, ghosts, paranormal activity, an ancient entity, ... my interest was peaked. While the story did not end with a cliffhanger, it certainly set the stage for the story to continue. I for one, am looking forward to the next book!

J. Scott Bennett did a wonderful job with the narration. I will definitely be listening to more of his performances.

A great paranormal/urban fantasy book

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

So, this book started a bit off, for me, as the interactions with the main character's mother were... odd and I felt like there wasn't enough context to understand the situation. Turns out I just needed to be more patient because the author actually did pretty good job of putting things into perspective. In other words, give it a chance.

I thought the narrator was great and I really enjoyed this book. I'd definitely bo open to book 2.

I really liked it

The narration is good, the phrasing, pacing and tone are all good. The characters voices are well done, but for me, some of the accents didn't quite come through.

I loved the premise of the story, so interesting. I haven't read anything else like this book. There was nothing predictable about it and there were often new elements being introduced that added a realistic complexity to the story.

The characters are really well developed. The story is quite serious in parts and deals with the corruption that can come with power and also elements of morality but this is balanced with humor.

I want book 2!
