About this listen
From the best-selling author of Bad Games.
Deep in the Florida Everglades, a tragic accident has ignited a deadly feud between two families.
Meanwhile a young writer, his girlfriend, and her family take a boat ride into the isolated wilds of the Everglades for research on a new book, only to become unwitting witnesses to a brutal crime.
Now, as night falls, forced to travel on foot, they must flee through the treacherous wilderness while desperately avoiding the deadly wildlife...and the far more lethal human predators that are hunting them.

Caleb Lambert kills people for a living. The money is nice, but it comes a distant second to his primary reason for choosing such a vocation: Caleb often calls it “scratching an itch”. Here’s the thing, though: Caleb won’t just accept any contract. He and his team thoroughly vet each and every prospective mark to make sure they deserve to be punished.

Story
Sadie can perceive what others cannot. A rare and hazardous gift, it is one she would rather not possess, as its price is great suffering. There is a word used to describe her kind: Martyr. Wandering the wastelands of a ruined Earth plagued by gangs and Cling - an affliction which shortens the human lifespan to a mere few decades - Sadie's hope to find a slice of utopia fades. When an act of desperation in a reckless moment sets her on the run from a vicious warlord, her flight leads to a mysterious boy who seems to hold the answers to Sadie's salvation.

For nearly two decades, Jamie Warren has been running from darkness. He's haunted by a traumatic childhood and the guilt at having disappeared from his disabled brother's life. But then a series of unusual events reunites him with his estranged brother and their childhood friends, and none of them can deny the sense of fate that has seemingly drawn them back together. Nor can they deny the memories of that summer, so long ago—the strange magic taught to them by an even stranger man, and the terrible act that has followed them all into adulthood.

Some art takes on a life of its own. A beautiful house. A loving family. Two kids, a dog, and a tenure-track professorship teaching art at the local university. Dan Rineheart is living the dream. But all dreams must end. When an anonymous painting arrives at the university, Dan is tasked with uncovering the artist. No title. No name. No signature or frame. It’s a disturbing work of grotesque perfection. A work of art...that changes with each viewing. So begins the nightmare. Where painted clocks tick-tock in the dark hours before dawn.

On an entirely normal, beautiful fall day in Chester's Mill, Maine, the town is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. Planes crash into it and fall from the sky in flaming wreckage, a gardener's hand is severed as "the dome" comes down on it, people running errands in the neighboring town are divided from their families, and cars explode on impact. No one can fathom what this barrier is, where it came from, and when - or if - it will go away.

Must Read!!!
Love this Author and have not been disappointed with any of his horror novels I have read/ listened to thus far. This book pulls you in within the very first minutes of Jeff Hays reading. The Narrator of this book is amazing and does an amazing job changing his voice for the characters. The horror novel is intense, morbid and oh sooooooo GOOD!!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

A Twisted, Wild Ride in the Glades.
This is my second book by Jeff Menapace and, I have to say, I am definitely a fan. This was an action packed, suspenseful story that shows the devastating consequences of one boy's lie and the actions taken afterward that destroys three families. Menapace has woven a horror story that is both grisly and all too possible in a setting that is a formidable as they come.
The narration by Jeff Hays was excellent, his timing and character range was perfect. There is a bit of a production flaw in the tin-like sound in the very beginning but, thankfully, it only lasts for the first couple of chapters.
I have only one gripe and that is the author continuously calling an airboat, a "fan boat". The book is set in the Everglades and, as a South Florida native, I know that no one refers to that type of boat as anything other than an airboat. It really makes no difference but "fan boat" was mentioned many, many times it did irritate me every time I heard it.

One boy's lie leads to an extreme bloodbath
This Audiobook was provided by the narrator at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review.
The Audiobook begins with soothing and calming music. Enjoy it. There is nothing soothing or calm after that.
A boy's lie about his involvement in a brawl begins a snowball of tragic and horrifying events. Jeff Menapace creates the setting, throws in a couple of tropes (because, hey, this is a horror thriller, it must have some) but then quickly removes the rug from under your feet to ensure the reader/listener understands that all bets are off.
Despite the short length of the book it actually took me longer to complete, I simply found it hard at times to return to this cruel reality that was created by Jeff Menapace. Jeff Menapace puts you inside his characters heads and allows you to empathize with them before giving them no chance of survival. The story itself is a non-stop roller coaster, with one event quickly following another, there is rarely a dull moment until its very satisfying conclusion.
The narration by Jeff Hays is simply wonderful, he is truly a full cast in one. The creepy voices he provides the Roy family (especially Ida) gave me chills, he manages to voice them as cruel as Jeff Menapace writes them.
To summarize - This is a great horror thriller with excellent narration, it is not for the squeamish. A part of me wished it was longer, a part of me is thankful it wasn't (and I mean that in a good way).

Suspenseful
It was thrilling and kept me guessing what was going to happen, what would I have done in those awful circumstances. I loved this book.

Excellent Thriller.
From the second I started this I was hooked! From it's creepy swamp setting to it's psychotic characters, this is a must read. I devoured this and listened to it in a day, I just couldn't take out my ear phones!!
I'm not going to say anything about the plot because it's easily spoiled but I will say that it was so fast paced and intense. From the very first page you are swept up into a thrilling and sinister book and one you won't want to end.
The characters were fantastic. Its really hard to talk about them because this is the type of book where you are better off knowing nothing about it! Suffice it to say that this author can create some twisted people!! Lol.
I'm having a tough time trying to write an in depth review because, as I said, you are better off knowing nothing because you will enjoy it more. Everything about this was amazing and there was literally nothing I didn't like. It's a tense and twisted read but one you will love. I am definitely checking out more by this author because if this is anything to go by then I'm sold!
Jeff Hays was fan-freakin-tastic!! His voices and tones were perfect. He was chilling as the Uncle and gave me shivers!! He portrayed that family amazingly and really brought to life the terror the other people had. Go check out his work, you won't be disappointed!!

Great Book
I wasn't sure that I was going to like this book. I listened to all 3 of the Bad Games book and I really like book 1 & 2 but hated book 3. I am very glad that I did listen to this book because I loved it
