I did not finish this audiobook, I simply couldn’t. It was so bad.
Hudson and his best friend Kenny want to spend halloween in the forest with a few other friends from school. At first, Hudsons father is very much against it because you can’t leave teens alone, at night, in a forest! He feels something horrible might happen. And then a girl is dead and Hudson tells his father he did it, but Kenny says it was some sort of creature, a wild animal…
The idea itself was good and I thought it might be a great start for spooky season. But it was just not well done. I hated Kenny, Hudsons so called “best friend”. He’s just awful, I get that friends sometimes fight but Kenny is just insuffarable. And the fact that being a virgin is a crime and the way Kenny speaks about it is just as horrible. I don’t want to spoil but I didn’t like the way everything else was brought up and handled.
There were 2 narrators, one for Hudson and one for the father. Hudson’s was fine, he did a good job but the fathers narrator… not so much. For some reason, he gave Mathias, the fathers boyfriend, a weird deep voice which was just unfitting and I didn’t like it at all. I cringed everytime he did Mathias’ voice.
2 stars because as I said, the idea itself was good and Hudsons narrator did a good job. But otherwise, I don’t recommend this.
Thank you Netgalley, for the audiobook.
