Book description
Hear this: Blake Crouch's Pines isn't just a thriller-it's an immersive, spine-tingling experience you'll feel in your bones, especially as an audiobook. Forget just reading it; let the narrator's voice (think quiet intensity with just the right edge of panic) pull you into Ethan Burke's nightmare. You're right there with him, stranded in Wayward Pines, Idaho, after a crash that erases his identity. No phone. No way out. Just the unsettling hum of electrified fences and the chilling question: Is this town holding us in... or keeping something worse out?
The genius? The audiobook amplifies the dread. Every whispered conversation, every distant siren, every beat of silence feels amplified. You hear Ethan's growing paranoia in his voice-his confusion, his fear, the slow erosion of his old life. Crouch masterfully blends mystery, sci-fi, and pure horror, and the audio format makes it impossible to look away. You'll lean in, straining to hear the next clue, as the town's secrets unravel with relentless, nail-biting urgency.
This isn't just the start of a trilogy-it's a masterclass in building unbearable tension. The pacing? Perfect. The twists? Gut-punching. And the audiobook? It's the only way to fully surrender to the claustrophobia. You'll be checking your own doors at 3 a.m. after listening. If you love Dark Matter or Recursion, you'll devour this. It's the kind of story that lingers, whispering in your ear long after the last chapter fades. One listen, and you'll be desperate for the next book. Don't just read it-feel it. Wayward Pines isn't just a town. It's a trap you won't want to escape.

I'm grateful for this app, as it allows me to keep up with my reading even while multitasking. ListenBook's compatibility with various formats ensures I never miss out on any audio gem. This was my first audiobook in this genre and I'm hooked! The performance brought the story to life in a way reading never could. Already downloaded another by the same narrator. The narrator's voice took some getting used to - a bit nasal at first - but I grew to like it after a few chapters. Their pacing was excellent throughout.

ListenBookβs support for Apple Watch is a great touch. I can control my audiobooks on the go. I don't have strong feelings about this one either way. The narration was competent but forgettable. The story itself was more engaging than the performance.
