Treaters

C.J. Rutherford

3.5 AVERAGE


This is amazeballs. I was really curious to listen this story, it's difficult find an post-apocalyptic book with the beginning of the end AND with romance.

First, I got a say that even if the apocalypse part is very unique and well done. There is a lot of twists and turns, the mystery of what happened is always there and the answers are appearing slowly, the pace is very good. We know things with our MCs and that makes them likable and relatable.

The beings, the treaters, are yet to be identified, but they look like demons. There are other forces too, although it looks like a alien invasion, the beings look like demons, it's pretty amazing.

The romance is key to the story and it's well done. The sex scene was fade to black, but we get a lot of steam. Also, I like that this isn't erotica, this way the sex doesn't chop the flow of the story.

Be aware there is an huge Age Gap there though. I love it, but not everyone does.

When I saw the name Michael and Kelly Ables, I though it would be a Duet narration, but it was a Dual. Bummer. I like Michael Ables waaay more than Kelly Ables, his pacing is spot on, I could feel the emotions from the characters, the voices he makes are also distinct enough. Kelly Ables audio quality was off. Sometimes I couldn't even hear what she was saying, it was too faded. She was also really monotone and the characters didn't have distinct voices.

I was given this audiobook in exchange of a honest review.

I'm not always overly keen on horror, but I gave this novel a shot for a dear friend, and I was not disappointed. The story flows well, and the reader becomes more and more involved in the lives of the two main characters, Jaz and Jennifer. The ending is a surprise, but it sets it up for the next books in the series. You can tell the author put time and passion into his work, and this was not rushed, but a labor of love. Five stars.
