The Ridge

By: John Rector

Narrated by: Sarah Mollo-Christensen

With its manicured lawns, pastel houses, and quiet, tree-lined streets, Willow Ridge seems to be the perfect place for Megan and Tyler Stokes to start a new chapter in their lives together. But soon after settling in, Megan begins to notice cracks in the neighborhood's bright suburban facade - cracks that reveal a darker secret hidden just beneath the surface.

After an angry encounter with a neighbor takes a horrifying turn, Megan's waking nightmare truly begins - growing ever more chilling and bizarre with each shocking twist. Suddenly forced to question everything around her, Megan finds herself trapped between the specter of madness and the shadow of something far worse. Her only hope is to expose the community's pretty lies and discover the truth about what is really going on in Willow Ridge - a truth so devastating that her life will never be the same.

Good & unusual story

Enjoyed listening to it. The struggles of the main characters seemed normal at first glance but were sometimes not as normal as they seemed.

Interesting, but lacking

I loved The Grove by John Rector, but this novel did not compare. The prose is well-written, but stalls often. I love this author, but this book, while well written, did not have a believable plot line.

Fantastic!

I've read this book twice before listening to it, the book is really good but Sarah's performance puts it over the top!

Creepy and fun hard-core noir sci-fi mystery!

Well, that was an interesting little novel! It's not really my cup of tea, but I enjoyed it. By "hard core noir" I mean very dark, even frighteningly dark. Having read several reviews on Goodreads prior to purchasing the novel, this book was no surprise.

Fast, Fun and Entertaining!

This is a very bizarre book. I like John Rector and all the strange twists his books seem to take. This one is something of a cross between Pet Cemetery, The Stepford Wives and Hmmm!?!
I really can't go into the plot of this book any more than the book description without giving away what this book is about. However, I will say it did hold my attention and kept me entertained and guessing throughout as I tried to figure out what the heck was going on. I wasn't sure if this is a mystery, science fiction or horror.
So, if you're looking for a light fun and fast paced book to spend an afternoon with then I HIGHLY RECOMMENDED this one!
Sara Mollo-Christensen did a very good job narrating, a little slow and so I did have to listen at 1.25 speed.
