It doesn’t ever really seem all that creepy or scary to me. Setting (3/5): Wylding Hall should have been an amazing setting but it wasn’t really described well enough for me to picture it fully. I don’t know, the whole cast of characters was kind of “blah” to me. Julian is given this kind of bigger than life persona which I felt like he never deserved. Characters (3/5): You hear interviews with a lot of characters so it’s hard to keep them straight and engage with them. I think it’s supposed to be mysterious and creepy but the fact that you can tell that Julian disappeared right from the beginning of the story makes the whole thing anti-climatic. It’s just a little blip of a story that felt kind of thin and predictable to me. There is a lot of sex, drugs, and drinking throughout. The events are revealed through a series of interviews with the band members, their significant others, and the band manager. After the suicide of one of their members, the lead singer Julian Blake disappears in the house somehow under mysterious circumstances. The story is pretty thin here, basically a band rents out a mysterious estate, Wylding Hall, to record their new record at. Story (3/5): I have read, and really enjoyed, a lot of Hand’s books, unfortunately I thought this one was a bit weak. This is one I would definitely recommend listening to on audiobook. Audiobook Quality (4/5): The audiobook was well done and the two narrators do an excellent job with all of the different character voices. Series Info/Source: This is a stand alone audiobook that I borrowed through Audible Plus.
