About this listen

Andrew McCarthy grows concerned for his family after he catches a young man, Zachary Denton, photographing his daughter, Grace McCarthy, and other children at a park. To his dismay, Zachary talks his way out of trouble when he’s confronted by the police. He hopes that’s the end of it. Then he finds Zachary at a diner and then at a grocery store. He knows their encounters aren't coincidences. And just as Andrew prepares to defend his family, Grace vanishes.

As the police search stalls and the leads dry up, Andrew decides to take matters into his own hands. He starts by searching for sex offenders in the area and researching enhanced interrogation techniques.... He convinces himself he’ll do anything to rescue his daughter, unaware of the pure evil he'll face in his journey. He’s willing to hurt - to torture - anyone to save his family.

Jon Athan, the author of Into the Wolves’ Den and The Abuse of Ashley Collins, delves into the underworld of internet predators in this disturbing horror novel. Are your children safe?

In shock

It was always going to be very dark and horrific, that was a given and I chose to listen to it. What I wasn’t prepared for was the appalling use of the English language and grammar, throwing the mind numbing narrative and it’s the worst book I’ve ever bought from Audible. I won’t be seeking out more from this author. I don’t recommend it.

Badly written and narrated

The story itself gives a modern look at how easy it is for children to be subjected to things online which need much more control and attention from parents, authorities and developers. its far too easy for the wrong people to have contact with children.

Additionally, genuinely the worst Narrator I’ve come across on an Audible book, actually considered stopping the book purely because of the narrative alone. Cringy and forced.

Extreme, but is a real modern warning

If you choose to read this book then you know what you’re getting into, it’s disturbing to say the least. However, the AI narration is absolutely horrific and completely ruins the experience!!!! Dear authors, PLEASE re think this type of narration!

The narration ruins the book

Sounds like a robot reading it. If you’re going to use AI at least make it sound semi human!! If Audible keeps this up I’m cancelling my subscription!

Unlistenable !!

I honestly think the police should put this author on the Psycopathic/Sociopathic Serial Killer watch list. This is definitely not from a sound minded person. I mean why torture a baby/toddler even if it's just words on a page It's.............Enough said. Not for me.

A VERY SICK MIND

Far too graphic as it is obviously based around children. Cannibalism was far too much!!

Too much for me!

Obviously “narrated” by a computer programme. Completely unlistenable, complete rip-off - should not be allowed

To start with if you can just get passed the terrible narrator and push through pass chapter 3. The book itself is fantastically written with very raw emotion, and you feel the true pain that the parents go through. Without giving too much away as a parent of young children who are actively online gaming eight has definitely made me up my game in looking at ways to protect my children online. It also shows the pure innocence and naivete and trustworthiness of children and how easily they can be taken. Just do the simplification of us as parents teachings. You will need a strong stomach if you wish to read the book however it is definitely definitely well worth a read.

What a book

This book was captivating, it feels weird to say I liked it because it’s hard to like something so disturbing. It’s a great book though and is just the right amount of detail for such a topic in my opinion.

Dark and chilling
