What about David Rintoul’s performance did you like? Cottams books, the characters are all so unique and interesting that it is hard for me to pick a 'favorite'. Yes, to anyone who likes a good mystery and enjoys the supernatural.Īs I've mentioned before in other reviews of F. Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Furthermore, Cottam creates captivating plots with life-like characters encountering truly evil and ancient supernatural beings and creatures. Overall, this book has everything I love about Cottam's writing its darkly atmospheric, contains nail biting suspense and has the perfect amount of mystery and horror. And I'm really glad he does a great job with all the voices cause this book does flow right into different scenes and character perspectives without pause which did sometimes get me confused. He gets so into it he'll have you biting your nails and sitting on the edge of your seat. As for the narration, I really don't think anyone could narrate Cottam's books better than David Rintoul. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed this book but it wasn't quite the 5 star the other two were. Cottam I recommend first checking out 'The Colony' or 'Brodmaw Bay' and if you like what you hear there, you'll like this one too. But if this is your first time hearing about F.G. The plot of this one was very intriguing and the mystery of it all kept me hooked. This is my third Cottam book and so far he's 3 for 3 for me.
