Resumen del Editor

Seneca is the complete package. He's smart, sexy, and confident, much to Chevy's annoyance. They've worked with each other for two years, and even though Chevy might secretly find his partner charming and attractive, playful harassment is all they have.

Chevy was born with a unique gift that allows him to go into the memories of others. As detective, he uses this ability to find peace for victims who have been hurt or attacked. He delves into their memories and can pick out minute details that will help them put the criminal behind bars.

But neither Chevy nor Seneca are prepared when they are asked to go into the mind of a serial killer in hopes of finding survivors. They are even more unprepared for the monsters they find inside the man's mind. Drawn into a memory where it's hard to figure out where the truth exists, they realize that there may be more to the serial killer than they originally thought. The dark world draws the two men together in a way they never dreamed. It will take everything Chevy and Seneca can give to stop the darkness that could consume their minds. As the two are forced to face what is keeping them apart, together they realize that there's more to the mind and heart than either of them know.

Mind was blown away

Ok, now this book blew my mind away. Just like the characters, my mind was probed and I felt like I was spiraling out of my mind. Though the book itself is hard to describe without spoiling it, I honestly recommend you listen to this. Alice Winter(I love this author) paints the world so clearly that even though the character are experiencing chaos, it is clear the the listener/reader what is going on. Get it. It is worth the purchase.

Joel Leslie (Love his narrations) honestly where can you go wrong with him? He brings the character to life. Tells the story well and at a great pace. He makes sure the readers have a grasp on what's happening.

I loved the story

But let me tell you I screamed at the nonsense banter between the two main characters. I felt it was too much sometimes and I had to pause and scream to the heavens in futility. A great story though , unexpected in it's twist and turn. There were some questions left unanswered to the end that annoyed me.

now to the narrator, oh my god give Joel a freaking prize already. He can recit a grocery list and still get you invested. Every character is distinct with his narration , there is no over lap. Honestly bad audio books have been much improved because of his voice. where ever you are Joel if you do even read this , my hat to you good sir.

Seneca ❤️ Chevy; Chevy ❤️ Seneca

What a wonderful and funny read. Even in the face of danger, our protagonists crack jokes, lifting the mood and giving us a chance to breathe; to feel safe. Lovely, witty (and constant) banter as the boys discover each other in this world and the unconscious one is highly entertaining. Lots and lots and lots of fun. Loved it.

Kind of horror-esk

This was way more horror esk then I usually listen to or read. I enjoy the author a lot with the other books I’ve read. I did enjoy the characters quite a bit and their interactions

Awesome start to a new series

OMG I loved this book. I have read a lot of books that can be considered paranormal but I have never read one that deals with entering minds to view their memories. Chevy has the gift and Seneca, who I absolutely adored, is his partner. To a certain extent, Seneca can mimic others gifts. Seneca goes in the minds with Chevy as his back up to help get him out should something happen as well as being a back up to what Chevy sees. Two reports are always better than one. They are called in to go into the mind of a serial killer to see if there are victims left alive after he is captured. And when they enter his mind, they are dropped down a deep rabbit hole not knowing what is real and what isn't. You see Page has a gift that hasn't been seen before, he can manipulate others minds. This kept me on the edge of my seat worried that they may never get out. I have to say that when all was said and done, I felt so sorry for Page, the serial killer, and what he went through. This was a great investigation and I never figured out, not even close, why Page did what he did. Seneca cracked me up to no end with his wise cracks, sexual innuendos and flirtatious shenanigans. Chevy and Seneca made a great couple, once Chevy got out of his own way & accepted Seneca. I highly recommended this one!!

Wow. Recommend.

I tend to stick to contemporary romance but got this on sale. REALLY glad I gave it a chance.
Intriguing idea. Written in a way that let me suspend belief and go along with the ride.
A couple of mind-binding tricks of the audio, some wonderfully creepy voices, and some clever diqlogue all combined into a great experience for the listener.
Will definitely check out more from this author.
As always, Joel Leslie is great.

laughed more than expected

character banter is amazing throughout. love the jabs and sarcasm the main characters have. A like a married couple.

Fun, believable dialogue

After just finishing a mediocre book where the plot was laced in around the sex, I appreciate this book even more.
The two main characters have fun, believable dialogue throughout the story that felt appropriate to the situation - like something that you could really see happening.
There is just the correct touch of horror and mystery to be satisfying and the writing is excellent.

I was spooked but also laughed so hard

so most books even when "spooky" or creepy they don't really effect me much and I don't have any worry. this one while it didn't actually scare me the thought of being in those situations made me pause. the chemistry and naturalness between Chevy and Seneca is amazing. I LAUGHED SO MUCH. they are a hilarious and perfect for each other couple

10/10 recommend

Sound editing please! OUCH!

I love this book series and was so excited to see it was on Audible. The narrator does a really nice job emoting, and differentiating between the characters. However... The sudden and frequent volume differences between narrating & conversations (very quiet) to exclamations (painfully loud) are distracting, irritating and frustrating. Not to mention painful! They happen so frequently and are so abrupt there's no way to alter the volume to accommodate them. I primarily listen to audiobooks in my car. Maybe that makes a difference. This is the first time I've listened to this narrator. I'll try one other book and see how it goes. If the same volume differences continue to be an issue, I won't be listening to this narrator again.
