Sentinel: A Thrilling Supernatural Horror Novel

Written by Drew Starling

Narrated by Marie Chambers

A monster. A missing boy. And nowhere to run.

Something is lurking in the woods just beyond Aaron and Ellen Dreyer's new country home, and an evil that has been hiding in plain sight is about to emerge. A neighbor is brutally murdered, their 4-year old son goes missing in broad daylight, and the local town of Bensalem devolves into a cesspool of finger-pointing and chaos. With nowhere left to turn, Aaron and Ellen are forced to venture into the woods to find their son... and the truth. But in the process, they uncover a force larger and more sinister than they ever could have imagined.

This is a dark, unsettling story that the author successfully sprinkles with generous doses of mystery and creepy scenes, enough to keep you glued to your reading spot until the very end. Well written, beautiful and haunting."

Reviews for Sentinel

[Nina Quartuccio · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

It was a mediocre audiobook, the storyline has been done many times before. There were no twists or turns to differentiate it from similar stories that were done better. It could have used deeper descriptions to intensify the attempts at horror and maybe start a path to being a stand-alone storyline. The author skimmed the surface but it could have gotten a more powerful punch if he had been more descriptive. The characters were a little too superficial for me to react to. Their situations were calling for more powerful feelings, they were left lackluster and unrealistic. The narrator didn't give the necessary emotion to the story, nor did the author offer the necessary emotion for the narrator. It missed everything it needed for me to go to book 2. Sorry.

I went into this not knowing what to expect. I wound up really enjoying this book. I'm looking forward to book 2.
