I had this finished the same day I started it, but it has taken a few to reflect on the story and events. So here goes...
Prey Without Ceasing was not at all what I had expected it to be. The whole of the story is religious with underlying horror themes. I haven't read many fictional books having to do with any religion, I reserve my horror movies for these types... however, this was a nice switch up.
The MC, Dalton, is pretty much under very strict and watchful eyes, and everything is a sin to his father, who also happens to be the preacher of the church Dalton goes to.
Prey Without Ceasing had its ups and fowns in events during my reading, but it was easy to follow along with the characters and storyline.
The ending, while executed nicely, I felt was very abrupt. I was expecting a bit longer of an ending, but I still enjoyed the book.
To me, this was written in a Stephen King style, so I'd say if you enjoy his books to listen to or read it.
TW/CWs:
โขAdult/child sex
โขRacism
โขBorderline extreme religion
โขPedophilia
โขDomestic Abuse
โขChild Abuse
โขFire
I was given a copy of the audiobook by Andrew Franks. I'm leaving this review of my own volition.
With that said, thank you for the book, Andrew.
