If you could sum up Kane's Cross in three words, what would they be?
Sensitive, Poignant, Gripping
Who was your favorite character and why?
Kane - the depth of emotion and character was really rich and the narration reflected this well.
Have you listened to any of Nigel Peever’s other performances? How does this one compare?
Not yet but I will be interested to look at other titles as I really enjoyed the tone and delivery - very respectful to the text.
Any additional comments?
Overall a great book and a great partnership between story and reader. I hope the reader gets to continue with this style as it was really enjoyable. A must-have for a long car journey!

This story has lots of twists and turns, suspense. I warn you do not listen in the dark.
Great characters , engrossing and well developed. The subject of PTSD was brilliantly approached. We also have tension, secrets, action , horror and paranormal.

Well written, great narration, rushed story
Kane’s Cross, is the second book of the Witchfinder series, written by Elizabeth M. G. Wixley. It introduces new main characters and greatly expands the world briefly hinted at in the first book. We know follow Kane, a broken man with a troubled past, and his experiences following a random encounter with a girl called Poppy, which he quickly falls in love with. Kane is having family issues, which take a darker turn as the story develops, while Poppy is not the woman she immediately seems to be. The main character from the first book, Adam, returns, but he is now a different person all together following the happenings with the evil doll.
As with the first book, it is quite well written, with lively dialogs and well developed prose that flows nicely. But similar to the first book, I found it quite jumpy in some sections, and especially the second half of the book was hard to follow. I was two-thirds of my way through the book, before I decided to restart it all together, simply because I had issues following the overall story. There are quite a number of secondary characters in the book, and multiple plotlines, and the book was simply too short to fully encompass it all in my opinion. While the book took its time in the first half, focusing mainly on setting up the plot, and introducing new characters, it went all out in the second part where everything got twisted together, and I simply lost track of all the new individuals.
In the first book, the supernatural horror theme was only really hinted at throughout most of the book, at least up until the end, and felt somewhat tacked on. In this book though, it goes all out with the theme, which was fine. Unfortunately, I also felt it didn’t linger long enough on many of the aspects introduced, and I could have used with more fleshed out world building to really ensure the reader was as deeply engrossed into the world as the writer was. Because, as mentioned, the writing itself was good, and the story seemed have an overarching coherent plot, but it was just too tangled for me to follow properly. The doll is now a complete entity throughout the book, so the mysteriousness surrounding it in the first book was gone. Instead we have Poppy and her mysterious background as the new driver, which was interesting. Kane seems at first to be a re-doing of the broken Adam character from the first book, but since the first book spent all its time on developing Adam, Kane comes of as a bit whiney, simply because the book doesn’t spend enough time on developing his character beyond the first quarter of the book. At the end of the novel, he has shed his depressive past, but the journey between those two states was too shallow to be convincing. We don’t feel enough for Kane, because we don’t learn enough about him. Same goes for Poppy, as we don't learn enough about her as a person. Essentially all we get told about her, is rooted in her cultural background, so she seems very hollow as a character.
While the first book was narrated by Alexander Misiti, the second (and third) book is narrated by Nigel Peever, which gave it a completely different feel. The narration by Peever was absolutely excellent, and very enjoyable. But it was a bit strange going from book one, to book two, with a completely different tone, simply due to how different the narrators were, which was a pity.
Overall, if you enjoyed the first one, especially the themes presented, chances are you will like this one. Writing is good, narration excellent, the story itself somewhat too undeveloped.
I received this audiobook for free in return for a review. I have no affiliation with the author, the narrator, the publisher, or their pets (Although I am sure the latter are quite nice!).

Great Follow-Up to Adam's Cross
E.M.G. Wixley provides an excellent follow-up to Adam's Cross. The author continues to provide many twists and turns as well as plot changes that keep you on the edge of your seat. As in book 1, Adam's Cross, the characters are very well written and developed. E.M.G. Wixley keeps the horror coming and manages to create an excellent story line.
Nigel Peever did an great job with his performance of this book. I love his British Accent which made it that much more enjoyable for me. He performs each character brilliantly and provides great tone, pace, inflection and emotion that keep you engaged throughout the entire book.

Wickedly Weird!
In this book the reader/listener meets Kane an ex-military man. He meets a young lady Poppy whom he helps. She reminds him of his sister who disappeared. He and Poppy grow close. Kane suffers from delusions and occasionally gets violent. Poppy sticks with him and they are an interesting couple between his PTSD and her own secrets. Neither one of them is really fit to work and face society.
Like the first book in the series there’s plenty of material to twist the mind and the plot takes many turns. Strange happenings and action are woven into the story taking this volume to the next level. I listened to book 1 first but the way this book is written it’s not necessary to read it first, although, I advise it because Adam’s story is revealed and he’s important in book 2 as well. This story is for readers/listeners who enjoy horror and can stomach gory scenes. It’s difficult to find an author who can balance gore and great story. E.M.G Wixley is a pro at it.
Nigel Peever narrates this volume. It took me some time to get used to his voice, mostly because of the British accent. Accents always take me awhile and I prefer listening without them. That said I enjoyed the sounds effects he adds to intensify the story and his pacing is excellent. It’s not often a narrator adds all the extras he did. Well done!

It just gets better!
and getting ready to read this one I thought it would be a totally unrelated story even though it said book number two. I am so amazed at how this author integrates boat stories together seamlessly. I know you hear about authors that’s band genres, but reading the books myself and just lets me know how much talent and imagination it takes to write one story but to know that this is the same author that wrote simulation games just blows me away. I know this is telling you nothing about the book, but trust me when I say if you like paranormal , good against evil with a little romance and horror thrown in forgood measure. Read this book!

A great continuation of an amazing series. Wow.
After reading the first book I was hooked and quickly started this next chapter of Adam and his creepy and vengeful doll Matthew and the so called witches of the world. One thing I've really enjoyed from this series is the emotions of all the character and how they are portrayed in a realistic every day nature. I found myself feeling for every character and loving some while really hating others. I was cheering and upset at others. E.M.G has been a masterful at controlling the wild river of emotions and events into a very interesting and well paced read. You start on one side and finish rooting for the other. Excited for what awaits after the cliffhanger to continue the story in book three.
The narrator change caught me off guard but after a while I didnt seem to notice it. Nigel did a good job.

Narrator was great, but jumpy narrative dinged it
Note: In exchange for an unbiased review, the author, publisher, and/or narrator were kind enough to provide an audio version of this book at no charge via AudiobookBoom.
The narrator did a great job on this. As a new narrator myself, I'm always listening out for how others perform their craft in the hopes that I can pick up something to help me better myself as well. No real complaints here with regard to the narration.
The writing, however, bothered me a little. The story jumped around too much - with the shifts in time jarring to the point that it affected the overall enjoyment of the book. Also, sometimes it was confusing as to what was happening or where it was happening. And the characters didn't feel very fleshed out or even compelling. I understand this was the second book in a series, but I think it was more of a standalone. If I'm mistaken, then perhaps this could partially explain some of the issues I had with the book. But not all of them.
At any rate, the premise was interesting and it certainly had some elements I generally like in a story. But unfortunately, it didn't do an effective job of bringing all those elements together for me.

Great Series
Excellently written and performed, the book expands upon the story of the first book adding context to the events of the first whilst maintaining the dark and forbidding atmosphere.
Nigel Peever once again brings a story to life with his engaging reading. The characters are vivid in the listener's mind through his interpretation, and his calm and measured narration keeps the listener reassured.

An Interesting Story
I find the book very interesting to listen to. The author ( E.M.G. Wixley) tried to depict the main character with PTSD, whose life experience a lesson to learn. It is an invitation for us to understand people with PTSD accept them and of course help them. Other characters and scenes in the story are well pictured and very descriptive.
Nigel Peever narrated the book very skillfully. There are emphasis or highlights on various emotional reactions toward people and situations.
This audiobook has been provided complimentary in exchange for an honest/unbiased review. Thank you.
