    About this audiobook

    You Can't See Them. But They Can See You.

    This forest isn't charted on any map. Every car breaks down at its treeline. Mina's is no different. Left stranded, she is forced into the dark woodland only to find a woman shouting, urging mina to run to a concrete bunker. As the door slams behind her, the building is besieged by screams.
    Mina finds herself in a room with a wall of glass, and an electric light that activates at nightfall, when the watchers come above ground. These creatures emerge to observe their captive humans and terrible things happen to anyone who doesn't reach the bunker in time.
    Afraid and trapped among strangers, Mina is desperate for answers. Who are the watchers and why are these creatures keeping them imprisoned, keen to watch their every move?

      I came here after watching the movie adaptation of this story. Although the plot line was same but the additional details and backstory of the characters were much detailed. I really enjoyed it but have so many questions now. I will definitely go for the sequel , I hope it answers the questions.

      This book was fantastic! Creepy, but super interesting premise. It leaves on a cliffhanger so I hope there's a book 2.

      Good atmospheric listen. Keeps your attention, and even after everything is said and done, it kept going for a final gasp.

      Captivating story, pleasant narration and easy read albeit creepy. Irish folklore based horror elements and intriguing character dynamics make for a gripping tale. I stumbled upon this book while looking for similar creepy stories as From series, and was not disappointed. The ending was good, i just wish there was more.Heard there’s a movie in the making for 2025, definitely looking forward to it!

      I enjoyed the journey. The twist was predictable as was the ending for me but it may not be for you! As horror goes this is a good book in the genre and I’m happy to see it as an audiobook as it seems to be a rare occurrence to get the horror genre as an audiobook.

      A solid survival horror that centers heavily on social dynamics and raises a question about what it takes to stay human when faced with unfathomable horror. Would highly recommend for fans of the Cloverfield movies.

      I'm a fussy reader absolutely loved it! A very suspenseful unique story that didn't bore you inconsequential details. It took me weeks to finish as the soothing narrator's voice kept putting me to sleep. The ending left me with wanting sequel as there many unanswered questions about the Watchers.

      Excellent horror and suspense. You know it’s a good one when you want a sequel or prequel after you’ve finished listening to the last sentence!

      Much better than it ought to be, all because the authors takes the trouble to layer the scares and suspense with compelling portraits of all four principle characters. The end is abrupt but not out of keeping with the story. I don’t usually care for sequels, but I would read one for this book. Many tastey plot, character, and thematic rebars left dangling from the concrete of the last bridge. I don’t mean that as a bad thing

      It’s excellent. Don’t let the exposition wear you down. The meat and potatoes of the book is worth it. Now stop reading reviews and listen before you find a spoiler.

      As a Novelette this could have scored a 4 or more.
      However, as much post-1980 fiction goes it is simply longer than it needs to be (in this case 3 times so).
      Sadly, words =$$$$ leaving the overall whole to suffer in return.
      Which I blame on the publisher, not the writer as we all need to eat.
      A neat twist that could subjectively be viewed as worth the wait.

      This book kept up a nice level of suspense. I had my suspicions, but the story didn't end the way I thought. Spoiler alert: It does have a cliffhanger ending. I enjoyed the narrator’s voice as she really conveyed the intensity of the story.
