Summary

Shane Ryan returns to Nashua and the childhood memories that drove him to join the Marines. After a prolonged legal battle with his aunt and uncle, Shane has possession of the family home where his parents disappeared over 20 years ago. The house, a monstrous castle filled with ghosts and secrets, is more alive than its inhabitants.

When his aunt and uncle come to town, then vanish, Shane's life takes a turn for the worse. Detective Marie Lafontaine immediately labels Shane as the prime suspect. And in a race against time, Shane desperately searches for clues about his parents.

But there's something lurking beyond the walls and beneath the surface. Something sinister that has haunted him ever since he saw its face in the pond behind the house. And it isn't happy that Shane is back.

It isn't happy at all.

Genuinely chilling

I like horror, but I'm so rarely impressed by it any more. I listen to audio books as I fall asleep, and at one point, this was scary enough that I had to switch to something else to settle down with :P That's high praise - I can't remember the last time anything affected me in this way. Great listen, and I'm now enjoying the rest of the series as well.

A very scary listening experience.

Where does Berkley Street rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This was my first audio book so can not rank or compare with another one.

Which character – as performed by Thom Bowers – was your favourite?

The girl in the pond.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, but had to spread it over three sittings.

Any additional comments?

Very good first audio book for me. Took me a while to get into the story but once in it kept me gripped to the end. Can't wait to listen to the next book in the series.

thoroughly enjoyed

I enjoyed this book enough to look for the next. If you are looking for a ghost story that keeps you listening, this works. It is well read and you get a real feel for the characters as you meet them.

Enjoyable, but not a page turner

I found the story confusing at first and couldn't keep up with some of the characters but I persevered. The short chapters made it easy to listen to; just as well because sometimes I had to go back a chapter to recap on who some of the characters were and what they were doing. American ghost stories are not really my scene, and I did not find it particularly frightening, but I enjoyed it just enough to decide to give the author another chance.

A legend in the making.

Very original, excellent characters and some damned right creepy stuff.
Narration was very good with excellent expression and characterizations.
A match made in hell.
Well done.
