Qualifies for COYER Fall Scavenger Hunt Item #29: Read a book that takes place in the winter.Īfter On Demon Wings, I was SO READY for Into the Hollow. I think this is the last book I have on audio right now :( I have more in print, but I really want to listen so I guess we'll see how long I can wait to read the next book. Despite my earlier uncertainty about her narration, I'm really happy with it now and would be unhappy if the narrator changed. It's like, having Jo Rylan's voice both amps up the horror and keeps me moving past it at the same time.

I feel like otherwise, I'd be doing some book throwing when things get intense. but let's say it's not all smooth sailing but I'm super happy with how it ended.Īnd I'm really glad I'm listening to these books. I feel like it's pretty spoilery to reveal anything because of the cliff. With the events of the last book - which left on a really rough cliff - I wasn't sure where things were headed and was super excited to find out. Fucking terrifying y'all!Īnd that's not to mention the reason I'm so hooked on these books - the relationship between Dax and Perry, and also Perry's relationship with her family. Yep - the monster in this book is no ghost or demon, it's an actual monster and it's leaving blood and gore in it's wake. We are now fully in the physical, where every single person is at risk of being, well, torn to shreds. This book has left that in the rearview mirror. The last book began to cross that line, but it was still mostly mental only 'special' people like Perry and Dax could truly experience the horror because of their connections with the mystical realm. So part of what worked for me in the previous Experiment in Terror books was that they were in your head scary, more than any of the blood and gore that I tend to associate with horror. Damn it, she may just turn me into a horror reader! The last two are probably neck-in-neck for their horrific-ness.

And then with each book, she has increased the horror just a little bit more.

Got me all attached to the characters and invested in them. She started me on this series with a book that I think most would consider soft horror.
