About this listen
Rolf the teddy bear looks sweet and warm. But, in the dark, its eyes glow with a murderous gleam….
Stefan Korzh's parents built a life around collecting possessed items, in the throes of a peculiar game with the dead. Antique porcelain dolls, beautifully crafted teapots, and an eerie teddy bear, all seemingly innocuous objects that encompass unimaginable evil, and malignant spirits who wish to inflict pain on the living.
His parents' obsession ruined Stefan's life, and he dreams of punishing the rest of the world for his poor luck of the draw. Dreams become reality when he sends the collectibles to unsuspecting customers. One by one, he eagerly watches the chaos that unfolds.
Victor Daniels, a historian exhausted by yet another academic conference, wants nothing more than to go home and see his wife. But tragedy cuts his hopes of comfort short. Seeking answers, he teams up with a paranormal expert by the name of Jeremy Rhinehart. The two discover a tangled web of haunted collectibles gleefully painting the town red with the blood of their new owners.
Time is running out, and they must stop Stefan from spreading further mayhem. But Jeremy and Victor are in over their heads, and the hellish objects' spirits will not rest until their pursuers join the ranks of the dead….

However, they didn't realize you can't control a demon, you can only enter into an agreement with them, and so their demon was able to walk out of the summoning circle that they didn't close properly.

Classic Horror with Suspense, add Gruesome
This is a scary book with porcelain dolls. It is a classic horror story with suspense. The storyline is well described and it has gruesome details . The characters are interesting. This book will make you think twice about buying antique or vintage items. Stephens parents spent their life collecting possessed items, that encompass evil that inflict pain on people. Stephan wants to punish people for the pain his parents inflicted on him, so he decides to sell these possessed objects to unsuspecting people. You have to read this story to see how this story unfolds. Ron Ripley has a way with words and Thom Bowers has a way with narration to bring you into the horror. I highly recommend this book but you must know there is no end you have to continue the series but Ron's book are worth the wait.

Death Brings Death
This was a great read! I enjoyed the story, and look forward to the remainder of the series!
Sending out the different items from his late mother's collection, death is being released into the wider communities. With his father's spirit demanding the return of all the items, Stefan is working to track down the items, but death is already stalking the innocent.

Interesting start!
I wasn't sure if I would like this new series, but Jeremy and Victor make a great team. Victor is filled with understandable rage over his wife's death and is seeking revenge. Jeremy is calm, rational, and experienced in dealing with the dead. Together they set out to stop the person responsible for unleashing these haunted and deadly objects. I'm definitely looking forward to the next book. As usual, I'm not a fan of Thom Bowers as narrator, but since he seems to be the choice for all Ron Ripley's books, I'm getting used to it. I don't think he does a bad job, but I don't feel like he captures emotions well.

An amazing story!
This is the best kind of story, it has an interesting premise and is presented just as well. The only problem is that it leaves you hanging at the end. I’m happy that there’s more in the series.

So scary!!
This was seriously awesome!! For me, it was the scariest of this authors books, that I've read! I've never liked those porcelain dolls anyway, they creeped me out, but after reading this... well, let's just say that I will never ever own one!! EVER.
Stefan Korzh grew up with his parents focused on buying haunted items. All their attention was focused on their passion and so Stefan was left unattended. Growing up in a house with ghosts made Stefan the way he is!! Now that both his parents have died, Stefan is intent on exacting revenge on people like his parents, people that actively seek out haunted items. So he starts selling off his parents items, all the while gleefully watching the ramifications unfold.
Victor Daniels is at a conference when he gets a call to say his wife committed suicide. Only thing is, his wife was happy and wasn't depressed. In fact, she had only just purchased a lovely old teddy off the internet. Victor is devastated and determined to get answers. What he finds though is a whole nother world!!
I started reading this at night and had to put it aside till the morning because it was creeping me out!!! I don't know if people actually do buy things simply because they think they're haunted, but let me tell you something, it wouldn't be me!!! Nuh uh!! I had nightmares of those nasty dolls turning their faces as I passed, it was horrible!! Anyway, the plot was fast paced and extremely scary. We have a teddy bear, a doll and a teapot. What do these all have in common? Well they are all haunted by homicidal ghosts. These ghosts are some of the worst that were in Stefan's parents collection. It was seriously creepy!!
I loved the characters. Jeremy was intriguing. I need to know more about his story. Victor is awesome. He is intriguing too and I'm really looking forward to learning more about him and his ancestors in future books. I also loved seeing and hearing the lore when they visited NOLA. Let's have more from there!!!
Anyway, this was such a great read. It's perfect for Halloween and is really scary. I can not wait for the next edition to this series!!!
Thom Bowers read this extremely well!! His tones and cadences really brought the story to life, and he gave me chills when he was the toys. Highly recommend.
I was voluntarily provided this audiobook for free from the author, narrator, or publisher. This in no way affected nor influenced my thoughts.

Completely Terrifying!
What a great story! I can imagine myself as an innocent, unsuspecting buyer of one of evil Stephen's haunted items. Hopefully Jeremy and Victor would find me before I was killed! Love the characters in this new series, and the narrator's voices for them. The doll and bear were especially creepy. I am looking forward to the next book in this new series!

Great beginning
I loved this book of how the story about the hunted collection of toys and items began. This story was sad and scary and it made me think about children and spouses and about the fragile ties that bind families. I will read the rest of this series because this author is worth reading.
