About this listen

Seneca is the complete package. He's smart, sexy, and confident, much to Chevy's annoyance. They've worked with each other for two years, and even though Chevy might secretly find his partner charming and attractive, playful harassment is all they have.

Chevy was born with a unique gift that allows him to go into the memories of others. As detective, he uses this ability to find peace for victims who have been hurt or attacked. He delves into their memories and can pick out minute details that will help them put the criminal behind bars.

But neither Chevy nor Seneca are prepared when they are asked to go into the mind of a serial killer in hopes of finding survivors. They are even more unprepared for the monsters they find inside the man's mind. Drawn into a memory where it's hard to figure out where the truth exists, they realize that there may be more to the serial killer than they originally thought. The dark world draws the two men together in a way they never dreamed. It will take everything Chevy and Seneca can give to stop the darkness that could consume their minds. As the two are forced to face what is keeping them apart, together they realize that there's more to the mind and heart than either of them know.

This book was quite a surprise what you expect is not what you get! The thing I liked about it the most was the chemistry between Chevy and Seneca there was parts I couldn’t stop laughing I had tears down my face and my stomach hurt! Definitely recommend this to anybody who likes a laugh with a side of murder and madness

The chemistry

This is the last of Alice Winters currently available series that I have listened to. My introduction to Alice's work were the insanely funny Hitman books, and I have enjoyed her other series which are also hilariously chaotic romps which never fail to have me laughing throughout. The In the Mind series seemed different, and I wasn't sure if I would like it, so left it until last.

Early on in the book I turned it off, and wasn't sure I was going to turn it back on again. I have no stomach for even the mildest horror, and this scared the s**t out of me! It didn't help that I was listening quite late at night. I had to put on a bit of Hitman to stop feeling scared! The next day I put on my big girl's pants and tried again, and I'm so glad that I did.

Within the Mind is an experience for those not used to books that tend more towards psychological thrillers. At one point I had to download the kindle book because I thought there was a mistake on the audio (there wasn't). It was very disorientating, you didn't know what was reality, what was a memory or what was a dream. I'm impressed that Alice was able to keep track of what was going on, and tied off all the strings neatly at the end.

Chevy and Seneca are a classic Alice Winters pairing. They reminded me of Miles and Havoc from the Demon Magic series. Alice has such a talent for writing stories full of action and humour, while also making clear the love and devotion between two characters without any maudlin sentiment.

Joel Leslie is a favourite narrator for me, and he was perfect for this book. He definitely made the book even more terrifying than it already was! I would have appreciated a bit more sound level control on the recording. There was a part where Joel quickly switched back and forth between whispering and shouting, and I thought he might blow out my eardrums!

Overall, a really good listen, and I'll move on to book two when I'm feeling brave enough!

So glad I continued with this!

The narrator did a splendid job in bringing to life the constant quipping and sexual tension between the male protagonists - and the nightmarish world and creatures inside the mind of the antagonist.

I had listened to this audiobook a few years back but it still captivated me right from the start. The twists and turns managed to surprise me all over again, which is not a common feat.

I highly recommend, as long as you're not sensitive to horror themes.

Creepy and hot, both in the most enjoyable ways!

When this book started, I knew there would be something, but like a rollercoaster ride you sit and wait, even of that slow ride up the hill is bland and you think you know what’s coming. What you don’t see is the door at the top of the rollercoaster that you and are thrown into a world that is crazy, scary, funny and not at all predictable. What a book and a great twist.

What a roller coaster ride
