Summary

Ted and Mary Anderson have just returned home to Villejeune, Florida, to start again. Little do they know that they will soon be drawn into a nightmare of unholy ceremony and unutterable horror.…

The small town of Villejeune, Florida, lies far enough from the inquisitive eyes of strangers and even the reaches of the law that a community with its own customs, rituals, and deadly rites has grown there. In order to start fresh after a failed job prospect and unexpected emotional trauma for their teenage daughter, Ted and Mary Anderson have returned home to Villejeune, unaware of the growing malevolence there. Soon, they are thrust into a nightmare as their sweet but troubled daughter, Kelly, is pulled into the darkness that seems to have consumed the town. Like the other children in Villejeune, her life and her very soul are soon threatened by the shadowy, ancient evil that drives the residents of Villejeune to commit their terrible deeds.

Excellent.

I read the reviews and wondered why so many people were saying the narrator did not do a good job telling this Story, So I decided to listen to the sample to see what she was like. I had to agree with the reviews, as from the sample the narrator was certainly annoying me and spoiling the story. For some reason, she had decided to pause at the end of every sentence and it was grating on me as I just wanted her to get on with it.
I like John Saul books and am building up quite a collection, so I had a decision to make. Was I going to pass up the chance of listening to this novel or was I going to give it a chance and hopefully add it to my collection.
I obviously decided to give it a go and bought the book with a credit. I was not disappointed. The narration did get better and I enjoyed listening to another Jofb
