I love haunted house stories and I mostly enjoyed this one. I'm not sure about the setting. All that it says is Cypress Creek and being from Florida originally, I know there was a Cypress Creek in the county that I was from. I'd like to believe that it's the same place. Overall...it was an engaging, fun read, and I will likely read more by this author. The characters grow on you, and there was enough elements of mystery to keep me reading to the end. This story uses a haunting as a vehicle to solve a horrible crime, but the supernatural aspect is definitely secondary. Again, it is the vehicle and not the destination. I would have liked for it to be a bit more of what the book was based on...but that was a small thing. Most ghost stories get 5 stars and numerous plus signs in my ratings but in this one there are several inconsistencies with names and dates which was distracting for a novel that has mystery elements to which details are important. There were also numerous errors in punctuation and in language which probably was not entirely or at all, the fault of the author but certainly was the fault of the proof-reader. In spite of these things, the story flows along nicely, and the ending leaves a couple of unanswered questions that could easily result in a follow up book. It was for the most part an overall, hauntingly good story with a creepy old house.… (meer)

This was a nine book set with three books being in each set which makes for a very long read.

Hideaway:

I became really attached to the characters in the first set of books. James Weller and his wife Marla endure being stranded away from each other when an EMP hits St. Louis. Marla is at work as she is a reporter for a tv news station and James is at home. He tries any way he can to get to her as everything comes to a stand still when the EMP shuts down the power grid.

A fight for survival becomes the focal point of James and Marla throughout the book. They meet some interesting characters along the way that helps them in their time of need. Out of all three stories, this story was my favorite. Action packed and very intense.

Blackout:

The EMP strikes with Georgie Fitz along with her boyfriend and family heading for the hills to escape the craziness of the city. She decides that she will go to her father's cabin, but when they arrive, they find squatters in the cabin that turn out to be people that have come prepared for the blackout and Georgie's father is nowhere to be found. There were some interesting characters and it was easy to get attached to them. There was quite a bit of suspense through this set of books.

EMP No Power:

When an EMP strikes Washington, D.C. all hell breaks loose. Harper Murphy who is in the army wants nothing more than to grab her husband and son along with some supplies and get her family to safety. What she endures throughout the city and their escape was an intense read.

All three sets of books were suspenseful and nail biting. As I was reading the stories it made me think that this could be considered a true event as if anything ever happened to any of us in the world that happened in these stories, we would all have to learn to survive without the modern conveniences we have around us every day. It would be like living in the stone age literally or at least the pioneer days. Giving this set of books four stars.… (meer)

THE SNOW CREEK HAUNTINGS: A RIVETING HAUNTED HOUSE MYSTERY BOX SET BY ROGER HAYDEN hit about a 20 out of 10 on my creepy audiobook mystery!

Falcon Creek Lodge is secluded and caters to the elite. Set in a scenic mountain area you would think Falcon Creek Lodge would be the "place to go" In a way it is. Its the "place to go" to DIE! The lodge , no matter what name it goes by, is haunted by the very angry spirit who, wants two things: Revenge and for people to stay away! She is willing to kill anyone and everyone to get those two things.

SNOW CREEK HAUNTINGS is made up of three independent stories that all are focused around the hotel. I found them creepy,scary and down right bloody! Talk about one mad spirit!
Fair warning: these stories are not for you if you dont go for the bloody killer types of stories. They are very graphic in description. Me, I found them spooky and creepy as all get out. The narration by Cheryl May was really good and the portrayal of characters done well.

I recieved this audiobook free in exchange for an honest review.… (meer)
