Resumen del Editor
Advertising exec Freddi Stasiek thought she'd rid herself of a man who'd physically hurt her, but after six months he reappears in her life revealing a nature even darker than she'd believed. Thrown into the shadows of the world, Freddi rushes to stay one step ahead of her homicidal ex-boyfriend and the world he represents, a place where human flesh and blood are butcher's fare, a place where she would be made queen and broodmare.

Historia
If you've never read a Repairman Jack novel, this is the place to begin. It's 1990. A twenty-one-year-old named Jack has dropped out of college, leaving his old life behind to build a new one in New York City. Manhattan's rough edges are jagged enough to shred any unwary newcomer, but perhaps not one who is determined to stay off the grid, at any cost, in the busiest metropolis on earth. And to do so, he'll have to take jobs of a less than legal nature.

At last, the enigmatic partner of Elvis Cole (The Two Minute Rule) takes center stage in this pulse-racing thriller. When Joe Pike is charged with safeguarding a wealthy heiress, he discovers protecting the sole witness to a crime is nothing compared to protecting an LA party girl from her own self-destruction.... Larkin Conner Barkley lives like the City of Angels is hers for the taking. Then suddenly she sees another car’s metal-on-metal explosion of a terrible accident and, dazed, finds herself the single witness in a secret federal investigation.

Historia
Alan Gregory is a clinical psychologist with a thriving practice in Boulder, Colorado. His life begins to unravel when one of his female patients is found in an apparent suicide and the local paper begins printing accusations from an unnamed source of sexual impropriety between the woman and Dr. Gregory. He launches a psychological and personal quest for the truth that rapidly intensifies when more of his patients die untimely deaths, and Gregory suspects not only that the deaths are related but that another one of his patients may be somehow involved. Lacking facts but roused by suspicion and troubled by seemingly random acts of terror around him, Gregory starts to fear for the safety of the people he loves. The question of the inviolability of confidential disclosures made to Gregory by his patients - privileged information - becomes crucial as the psychologist pursues an unsettling romance with Lauren Crowder, a lovely deputy district attorney investigating one of the deaths. Bound to silence, Gregory follows the psychological tracks of someone he fears may be a cunning and disturbed killer, while turning to his enigmatic but supportive partner, Diane Estevez, for counsel, and to his tart-tongued female urologist neighbor for support. The sinister, surprising drama unfolds against Boulder's Rocky Mountain backdrop, in the arresting natural beauty of Aspen, and in the midst of a baroque Halloween costume party in downtown Boulder. Finally, in a lonely mountain lodge enshrouded in menace, the story comes to its breathtaking climax.

This book is really scary.
Would you consider the audio edition of The Devouring to be better than the print version?
I love the audio version more than the print version. It allows me to do other things while listening to the story.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Devouring?
I did enjoy the devourers internal politics, particularly the women and how they were treated.
What does Jen Thorpe bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Jen Thorpe, has a soothing voice. Overall I enjoyed her performance.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It scarred the devil out of me,
Any additional comments?
Someone said this book is scary as sh*t and I have to agree, it is. I put it down before bed and couldn’t sleep for at least an hour. I had to tell myself this kind of thing can’t happen. It can’t, it really can’t, although the author does a pretty good job making you believe it can. I had questions about what was left after “the devouring” took place, not in an apartment or a house but in the park or on a dark street. Do they have a clean-up crew? I did enjoy the devourers internal politics, particularly the women and how they were treated. There’s a revolution brewing, honey! Sleep tight tonight!
The narrator, Jen Thorpe, has a soothing voice. Overall I enjoyed her performance. Her weakness is portraying the male voice. She’s not convincing, or at least not as convincing as she needs to be. Still, it doesn’t get in the way of the story and after awhile you just accept her characterizations and continue to listen.
I found Freddi to be an unsympathetic character at first, but as things went on she learned her privilege was over, she was just there to serve the greater good. She became more sympathetic and I wanted her to win, to get away from them. She’s really out of her element, though, and when she finally stops depending on the kindness of strangers it’s almost too late.
I recommend this book. It’s fun to be scared. I’m going to suggest it to my husband because I want to mess with his head. Yes, it’s that kind of book.

masterful storyteller with cunning and crafty mind
Fredrica (Freddi) Stasiek is a self-assured, drop-dead gorgeous advertising executive who has a couple of ex’s and in the process of placing another on her “ex” list after his vicious side shows through. Freddi discovers she must stay a few steps ahead of her newest ex as he has proven in multiple ways of being deadly and uniquely scary when he moves through the shadows.
This is an exciting action packed horror thriller that puts a fresh spin on vampirism. One would be hard pressed to like the main character, Freddi. She’s the type of person who knows more than anyone else, comes across as a user and insincere. Not someone that has a herd of friends … not really, at least not human ones!
I found this book exceptionally different from other vampire books. Furthermore, Richard Keith Taylor spins this yarn with more twists and turns than a hundred foot slinky! Taylor keeps everything cohesive and flowing, nothing is random or confused. It is clear that Freddi is not meant to be liked but rather someone who is too full of herself and by the end, the listeners are hoping that she gets what she deserves. Taylor’s story leaves one stunned at the end when you realize just how clever Taylor has been.
I have to admit, I took two days to write this review because I wanted to say how manipulative Taylor has been throughout the book and then smacks you between the eyes with a whopper! I had to take a day or two to come to grips with what was done so that I wouldn’t spill forth any spoilers. Freddi is a strong woman – but one who is obnoxiously strong. She’s the “it’s my way or the highway” type. I found myself connecting to other characters but not to her – she was my “Love to Hate” type person.
Taylor has built a strong story line that flows well, his character development is intense leaving each character fully developed. Taylor is a masterful storyteller with a cunning and crafty mind. He calculates each plot move and character involvement to extract the fullest reaction. Excellent job!
Narrator, Jen Thorpe does a good job of portraying Jen and the other characters. She is extremely talented with a soothing voice. While I did not hear a lot of excitement or emotion in her narration, it dawned on me that she was telling it from Freddi’s viewpoint – she was a pretty emotional less woman so Thorpe did an accurate owning of the story.
This is not a story you will hear and forget about – it takes a day or two for everything to hit home. Well worth hearing and taking the time to think about the outcome.
