‘The door has been opened, it’s already too late’

A good end to a great series. Book 1 was by far my favourite as it held all the creepy unknown, but this and book 2 were definitely worth a listen and a good end to the series... I think it would have been even better as one whole book though!
Joe is a great storyteller too and I think he makes a great pairing with Ambrose and look forward to hearing more from them in the future!
This is my honest opinion of a free review copy.

Solid horror effort,

A lot more action packed than more horror books tend to be, especially this final instalment. great book but cant help thinking it could have been a two or one book series the split into three seemed unnecessary and made it quite an expensive read.

The occupant

This the third book in the trilogy does not disappoint. The twits and turns just keep on coming I could not put this book down. Brilliant writing leaving you hanging on to every word.

A strong conclusion to such an enjoyable series

I was almost sad to start to listen to this book as I knew it was the end to a series which I have enjoyed so much. sometimes the final book to such sets can be rushed but this does completely the opposite. The book ends the collection so strongly and on a high note. Although I found the last book to be a little predictable this did not take anything away from my enjoyment. This is the shortest book in the set but in a way also the most significant hence the higher rating from me. I genuinely look forward to hearing more from Ambrose Ibsen in the future . One of the top newer authors in this genre in my opinion. I was given this book by the author/narrator in return for an honest and unbiased review

Wraps up the series nicely

Regular readers of my reviews will know that I was disappointed by what I felt was the absence of a proper ending to Book 2. I'm happy to say that this, Book 3 in the series, suffers from no such problems. Do make sure you've read the previous books though.

There is a steadily building level of horror here, directly proportional to the amount of blood and gore and the regular stepping up of the action. There is a body count; oh man, is there a body count, and you're never actually quite sure how big that body count has become. There is an interesting twist in the tail too.

Is there room for a fourth Book in the series? I don't think so; this one ends with the door open to continue the series but I reckon that would be a waste.

I enjoyed this and I think you will too. The narrator does a good job, as always. Recommended.
