Libby Day was seven when her mother and two sisters were murdered in "The Satan Sacrifice of Kinnakee, Kansas". As her family lay dying, little Libby fled their tiny farmhouse into the freezing January snow. She lost some fingers and toes, but she survived, and famously testified that her 15-year-old brother, Ben, was the killer. Twenty-five years later, Ben sits in prison, and troubled Libby lives off the dregs of a trust created by well-wishers who've long forgotten her.

Fresh from a brief stay at a psych hospital, reporter Camille Preaker faces a troubling assignment: She must return to her tiny hometown to cover the murders of two preteen girls. For years, Camille has hardly spoken to her neurotic, hypochondriac mother or to the half-sister she barely knows: a beautiful 13-year-old with an eerie grip on the town. Now, installed in her old bedroom in her family's Victorian mansion, Camille finds herself identifying with the young victims - a bit too strongly.

Best of the Three
Any additional comments?
"Holiday for the Hostile" was my favorite of this three part series. This story dealt not only in the paranormal with Tile X (as in the first book) but also dabbled in the horrors committed by man. More of a cross between a paranormal horror and a murder mystery, this tale was enjoyable on multiple levels. The narration was leaps and bounds better than the first story in the series, but like the first story, this one sort of just drops off at the end. When I read a book, I appreciate the courtesy of an actual ending! I wouldn't recommend reading this book unless you've already read book one and intend on reading book three!

VERY THRILLING!
This was a very thrilling book! There is plenty of drama and suspense. The narration was great and kept me entertained. The author did a great job with the character builds and plot. This is the second book in this series and although you don't need to read the first book, I would definitely recommend it! I look forward to reading the next book in this series!

Not a bad book
I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher and I applaud their efforts and generosity. How ever, while Alexander Doddy did an excellent job with his narration I just could not suspend my disbelief in this story. It is very well written and for me, would have been very entertaining if not for that willing suspension of disbelief thing. Joy Mutter is a good writer (IMHO) but this story was not for me. Maybe, I will try another of her efforts. So in a nutshell, not bad, just not for me.

Dark twist and turns
I apparently missed this book in the series now book 3 makes sense with Serena and Tile X so I assume you need to listen in order. It is different series with dark twist and turn as in this book Serena and her family vacation in Ireland and more enjoyable than the 1st with her grandpa’s secrets as well as her own. It has ghosts, murder and mayhem. Recommend if you enjoy a different supernatural/paranormal thriller. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

An interesting, genre-splitting story
I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
I was happy to find that the first portion of the book catches you up on what you missed if you didn't read/listen to book one. I think I might have been annoyed, though, if I HAD, as it spent a good amount of time on this. As I said, for me, this was a positive. The story is definitely not one that lands in a single genre. It is part horror, part thriller, part paranormal... Also, I really like authors that are snarky and aren't afraid to have fun with their worlds. The tongue-in-cheek style was enjoyable for me. I enjoyed this book quite a lot and will look for more in the future because I found myself bummed it was over.

“It’s Getting Better All The Time”
Let me say right up front that I enjoyed “Holiday for the Hostile; The Hostile Series, Book 2” even more than the original “The Hostile”. If you haven’t read/listened to “The Hostile” do that first so you will enjoy Book 2 even more. That being said, Book 2 does a fantastic job of standing on its own two legs with an introductory recap of the first book. But the storyline in Book 2, to me, was even more engaging than the first book.
And Alexander Doddy does a great job managing both the various characters and the variety of accents. Well done.
The quickest of reviews: I’m hooked.

A book with its own identity crisis.
What did you like best about Holiday for the Hostile? What did you like least?
It is creative but it is in its own book universe........ it moves from one genre to another I am not sure what category it is.The Author needs to know before the reader has any chance of understanding the true intent of the story.
Would you be willing to try another book from Joy Mutter? Why or why not?
Yes because I believe he has talent but needs to be more focused on the genre of the book he is writing.
What does Alexander Doddy bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
He brings depth to the characters and makes the story more entertaining.
Could you see Holiday for the Hostile being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
The work needs more focus before it can go into production.
Any additional comments?
