Great story, bad Narration

I really enjoyed the novella. I think it would make a great screenplay. it would fit in my favorite werewolf setting, Werewolf the Apocalypse. the characters were great and the werewolf scenes spot on.

Terrible narration using AI

AI narration made for a terrible reading. There is no expression in the voice making it difficult to stay focused on what could have been a very good story.

I dove into story quickly

I really enjoyed the book but the ending seemed rushed or like the author didn’t know quite how to end the story but still great book

The story was a breath of sour, stinky, foul smelling air.

Actually, Several passages were described that way. But I liked it because I like my books stinky. If you do, read it but be prepared to forgo smelling certain passages.

I don't think I like AI voice. The characters felt flat, because the narrators voice has no character of it's own.

The story was decent, but definitely not "horror." There's no backstory as to why or how these creatures control humans.

Not a fave

Initially, I wasn’t sure how I feel about this one. I’ve spent some time allowing my thoughts to form. I finally came to the conclusion that I wasn’t quite horrored because a) the virtual narrator didn’t convey any emotion and b) the story line was moreso creepy. Not scary. I have enjoyed all of Mr. Massey’s books but this one was not a fave. I’ll stick beside him though?

I love Kim

I liked the cowboy man he was good .but Kim never understand that . I didn't like Wolf man

Great! Per usual

I guess I'm biased. I love anything by Brandon Massey. I love his story lines and the twists.

good storyline

I love a good thriller and a super-natural story. Brandon Massey is an awesome writer. But I do not like the virtual narrators. They are horrible. Virtual narrators cannot change they voices to fit the characters and is not engaging. All the characters sounds the same, that makes the book boring 😴

It got good

The beginning was slow, but the pace improved significantly towards the end, becoming truly engaging.
