EXORCIST MEETS CYBIL
absolutely loved this story. scary as hell. had a very hard time sleeping after reading it. I'm a Texan and the English accent took a little while to get used to, but I found it made the story more evil and creepy. highly recommend. ready for book 2.
A merely 'ok' read
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
I will start by saying that the authors style of writing was fantastic. I enjoyed the mental pictures she painted throughout the story. Having said that, I did not thoroughly enjoy the book. I am a HUGE horror book fan, and I did not find this story terrifying in the slightest. I felt only slightly entertained at most. The ending was a little hurried and sort of confusing almost forcing you to read the second book, which unfortunately, I will not be doing.
What was most disappointing about S. E. Englands story?
The most disappointing thing about this story was the inability to satisfy my twisted need for horror. She constantly moved from one character to the next, and after a while it left you wondering if the poor girl (Ruby) had actually been the one going through all of this.
What do you think the narrator could have done better?
The narrator was amazing. I did not find her narrating too fast or anything, and, I found her accent amazing. Her demon voice was definitely spooky haha
Was Father of Lies worth the listening time?
Overall, I don't think this is worth the listen. This book is mediocre at best.
Pass.
Any additional comments?
Story was all over the place and difficult to follow. Did not inspire me to read the next in the series.

Any additional comments?
Father of Lies is to occult horror as Twilight is to vampires.
Not scary, just unpleasant.
The narrator is exceptional!
The plot is great and I loved loved the narrator. I will definitely want to finish this Trilogy. Not so much scary as it is suspenseful, but it is well written and the plot is great!
