About this listen

Everything is about to change…

When Ross Lowry moves into his cousin's guest house in the small community of Magdalena, Arizona, he expects nothing more than breathing room and a brief respite from his economic woes. But something is not right in the desert. After a raucous party on New Year's Eve, the luck of the attendees undergoes an immediate U-turn. The rich and successful suddenly find themselves facing catastrophic failure while the less well-off are unexpectedly flush with good fortune.

This is only the beginning…

Soon the citizens of Magdalena are experiencing unnatural desires. Next their children begin to disappear and freakish creatures emerge from the surrounding wilderness. The community is unraveling at a frightening pace. But these are merely the early warning signs of a showdown with a powerful force of darkness that could obliterate the world forever, and only Ross Lowry sees the danger that lurks ahead.

Bentley littles stuff is so readable and the influence is no exception, great horror with lots of supernatural twists.

Only thing that lets the book down for me is the revolting scenes of sexual violence and excessively descriptive sex scenes in general.

Would recommend regardless but if you are a prude this might turn your toes up.

Great book but…

I was really enjoying this story before the sex scenes arrived. Felt the novel had sidestepped into a playboy story had to forward these areas so I wouldn't throw up. Too explicit for the genre.

left wondering 🤔
