Keep in the Light

De: David Musser

Narrado por: Andy McCain

Standing beside her father and looking into the abyss that had been her second childhood home, Lucky thinks back to her last night at college. It was the night before spring break, and she’d just wanted to go to a party, meet a boy, and maybe find out what he was doing over spring break. She thought that she had plenty of time to make the great life choices that all girls make.

Maybe it was fate, maybe it was a shadow on her soul, she did not know, but it was not her plan to be hunted by a supernatural creature - not her desire to have her friends and family in danger.

Standing beside Kane, her best friend, there was blood flowing down his back. Growing up together on the farm, helping tutor him after his father’s death. Other than her father, Kane is the strongest person she knows. Would that strength be enough?

On her other side, her father. They share a special bond and great loss. They know each other’s pain and the desire for revenge.

It is simple, really. You don’t mess with family. Those thoughts on her mind as she says, "Kill it, Daddy".

Good light scary book

Disclosure, I received this audio book for free from the author who is a personal acquaintance.

Overall a decent story that plays with your expectations. The characters all had motivations and weren't one dimensional. You can tell some thought was put into fleshing out the relationships and lives of the characters. Some of the twists hit me from nowhere and kept me looking for which assumption would be proven wrong next.

The language for certain repeating events got a bit stale at times, could have used a bit more language variety in my opinion. Some of the developments and back story did feel a bit odd and forced, but worked to bring it together.

I'm intrigued to learn more about the world and the man in white.

In all, a decent story that can be finished in a few sessions. It wasn't too long, and not too short either. Performance was well done and have the characters individuality. I recommend this book.
