About this listen

Andrew McCarthy grows concerned for his family after he catches a young man, Zachary Denton, photographing his daughter, Grace McCarthy, and other children at a park. To his dismay, Zachary talks his way out of trouble when he’s confronted by the police. He hopes that’s the end of it. Then he finds Zachary at a diner and then at a grocery store. He knows their encounters aren't coincidences. And just as Andrew prepares to defend his family, Grace vanishes.

As the police search stalls and the leads dry up, Andrew decides to take matters into his own hands. He starts by searching for sex offenders in the area and researching enhanced interrogation techniques.... He convinces himself he’ll do anything to rescue his daughter, unaware of the pure evil he'll face in his journey. He’s willing to hurt - to torture - anyone to save his family.

Jon Athan, the author of Into the Wolves’ Den and The Abuse of Ashley Collins, delves into the underworld of internet predators in this disturbing horror novel. Are your children safe?

If you choose to read this book then you know what you’re getting into, it’s disturbing to say the least. However, the AI narration is absolutely horrific and completely ruins the experience!!!! Dear authors, PLEASE re think this type of narration!

Sounds like a robot reading it. If you’re going to use AI at least make it sound semi human!! If Audible keeps this up I’m cancelling my subscription!

Unlistenable !!

The story itself gives a modern look at how easy it is for children to be subjected to things online which need much more control and attention from parents, authorities and developers. its far too easy for the wrong people to have contact with children.

Additionally, genuinely the worst Narrator I’ve come across on an Audible book, actually considered stopping the book purely because of the narrative alone. Cringy and forced.

Extreme, but is a real modern warning

It was always going to be very dark and horrific, that was a given and I chose to listen to it. What I wasn’t prepared for was the appalling use of the English language and grammar, throwing the mind numbing narrative and it’s the worst book I’ve ever bought from Audible. I won’t be seeking out more from this author. I don’t recommend it.

Badly written and narrated
