About this listen
When a day trip out of Las Vegas with his wife takes a turn for the worse, Jack is sure he has the ability to get them home.
But he has driven into something far beyond reason.
Rescue comes in the form of a desert hermit, but hope fades as the couple comes to realize that the nomad has no intention of letting them leave. A chance encounter with a kidnapped runaway and her crazed abductor leads them all farther into the wilderness - and closer to the cold brutality that isolation brings.
At the edge of his sanity, Jack begins to learn that playing by another's rules may be the only way to survive.
In a voice that is as hypnotizing as a desert mirage, debut novelist Samuel Parker entices listeners down a treacherous road, where the forces of good and evil are as crushing as the Mojave heat.

Wren Blythe has long enjoyed being among the Northwoods, helping her father with programming at a youth camp. But when a little girl in the area goes missing, an all-out search ensues, reviving the decades-old campfire story of Ava Coons, the murderess, who still roams the woods. Joining the search, Wren stumbles upon the Coons cabin ruins and a rotting porcelain doll. But even more terrifying is seeing her name etched on the doll's foot like a sinister omen.

At first he believes he has found the right young woman, despite their differences, but his faith falters when time reveals she isn't quite what she seemed. Can he truly love her?

Celia Miller is the Ravencourt PD's only female officer. When she's not contending with the latest in a long line of lowlife drug abusers and wife beaters who pay more attention to her body than her badge, she has to put up with a police force that refuses to respect her. But Celia has a job to do, and for months her middle-of-nowhere desert town has been victimized by an increasingly violent gang dubbed "The Illegals". The alien masks they wear have made them an urban legend, but Celia's off-the-books investigation has uncovered the true scope of their criminal operation.

Great Quick Read - Suspense, Mystery and Intrigue
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Absolutely. Perfect book to keep you company on a trip, doing laundry, or any time you need the escape of a good book.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Maybe I'm biased, but the female characters appealed to me more. They struggled with internal battles that were very well pictured for us but left us room to inflict our own flavor from life's experiences and therefore making the characters more real.
Have you listened to any of Dean Gallagher’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I believe this is my first novel read by Dean Gallagher. Enjoyed the audio performance. Good pace and accents. Maybe the higher pitched female voices were a tad overdone.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The moment in the cave when you placed every other suspense plot in it's place but the author took it in another direction.
Any additional comments?
Several valuable bits of life lessons in the novel that stuck w me. I can't say I've ever had a novel do that. I like it when books leave a piece of themselves w me.

Run. Don’t look back.
Hands down the worst book I’ve ever listened to. The prose was garish and clumsy. The story ridiculous. I didn’t care about any of the characters. And the narrator was hard to listen to, especially when he was changing to the voice of other characters. He would never be mistakes for a female! His voicing of female character lines were cringeworthy. I can’t believe the number of people who enjoyed this book. It makes me question our educational system.
