About this audiobook

The monster never stops, and it’ll never stop…coming for her.


At fifteen, Iris Sinclair was always the more outgoing of the twins. That’s how she convinced her more reserved sister to sneak out for a Halloween party.


She can’t ever forget…


She ditched her sister on the side of the road when she refused to stay in the car while the other kids smoked pot. Except it was laced with PCP. Later, high on the drugs, Iris went back, and found her sister… Dead.


They never found the killer. Just a Jack O’Lantern near her sister’s head.


It’s affected her all these years and it was enough to drive her to become a NYPD detective. But when her parents are killed, Iris finds herself returning to the estate she grew up on, and she quickly realizes one thing.


The killer that was never found is ready to finish the job.
 The question is...is it her?

    Although the story might have been good, it was ruined by the narrator. She sounded as if she hadn’t read the script or it was AI.
    A seasoned NYP Detective who had the voice and mannerisms of a 14 year old!

    The author made the detective out to be dumb. I realize she had panic attacks and trauma, but she still made the detective out to be dumb. They were also errors, one day Brewster and Iris are running through the junkyard, then the next time when they have a warrant, they have to cut the fence to get in. That didn’t make sense. In a stable you don’t have more stables you have stalls. There were other instances when the writing wasn’t consistent. I’ll try another book by this author, but don’t recommend this one highly.

    The story was interesting. An ok listen if you need to fill the space of a long ride.
    This author is introduced as "emerging". She has a long way to go yet. The details of the action are loose.
    The reader also is at a similar place. The Brewster voice was not always sufficiently audible, because of the register. She regularly split a verb from its companion preposition, for example, 'come up' would be 'he came, up the hill'.

    The basic story is depicted elsewhere. A twin was murdered as a teen. The surviving twin cannot forgive herself for her part in the death. As an adult, she works as a police detective. She returns to the home town, maybe ten years later, to bury their parents. Implausibly, the whole town turns their back on her, for 1) not being the one killed, or 2) being the murderer, and/or 3) for abandoning the (presumably still young and healthy) parents who succumb in a car crash.
    I applaud the author for completing the herculean task of conceiving and executing a novel of such length and complexity.

    I finished this book because I never dnf. However, it was a SERIOUS struggle. The lack of dimension in the characters, the descriptor words being so simple and bland, it was a tough read. I don't usually criticize publicly about an author's writing, but do they not own a thesaurus? It's super simple to click on words and figure out other ways to write them.

    I like a trashy novel, but this was bad. Poorly written and lacks depth. The characters were so two dimensional that I couldn't care less what happened to any of them.

    Narrator ends a sentence only to … continue because sentence wasn’t complete. Was there a page-turn involved that she couldn’t anticipate? No. Because it happens constantly, so emphasis is improperly placed & she doesn’t seem to learn. Also, so many mispronounced words. It drove me crazy. Onto the book itself… the main character could not possibly be an actual detective with the NYPD. She does not think, speak, or act like a cop, much less a homicide detective. Not to mention she is plagued by seeing & hearing dead people - and not in a psychic way. She’s also a thoroughly unlikable person. She didn’t treat people nicely when she was in high school, nor does she in the present day. And the narrator really should have spoken with the author & producers about cutting out all the “Blah blah blah blah,” he said. “Blah blah blah,” she said. Yeah, we know someone said the line, as the narrator just read it in the voice of the character that said it. It was so jarring. The implausibility of the entire book was ridiculous. The only character I liked and have empathy for was the reporter. Along with everyone that has to listen to this.

    The author mashes up a dozen B- horror movie screenplays in a blender. The product is totally ridiculous, but the biggest mistake is marketing the book as a serious thriller instead of a horror comedy. A blonde, binge- drinking, 25-year-old NYPD detective with debilitating, drug-related flashbacks returns home on the 10-year anniversary of her twin sisters' Halloween night murder to discover that the masked, Punpkin-clad killer has struck again. This is comedy gold! The list of potential Pumpkin perpetrators includes the town derelict who hangs out at the junk yard (deftly named LEFTY MCGEE,) a high school tattoo artist friend who holds down multiple jobs in this small town with her split personalities (which the town is completely unbothered by,) a chipper 911 dispatcher who is a budding true crime novelist, the kooky, old high school janitor (a first generation illegal immigrant-- troublingly named Sancho,) and the main character's ominously silent groundskeeper. This book is wacky, Halloween fun, in which the titular question is answered within the first 100 pages, and the reader figures out the killer 100 years before the protagonist.

    What an awesome book. I didn't guess till almost the end who the killer was, but that didn't even stop me from listening. I wanted to know how and why. I was disappointed at how it ended. Cliffhanger. Hope there is going to be another book soon.

    The story lacks originality, but it did keep me listening to see if there would be any interesting payoff. There wasn’t. More professional editing may have helped eliminate irrelevant red herrings (DID diagnosis? Come on) and distractingly repetitive diction (“strode”), but I’m not sure that would have made the story more enjoyable or believable. Assuming this is one of the author’s earlier works, I hope their writing and imagination has matured and their more recent pieces work better. I probably won’t be giving them another try.
