Holy cow this was such a good book. The writing was great and the story was incredible. I will definitely read more of Koryta 's books.

Just a really "fun" (and you know, dark and creepy) listen.

Every once in a while a really good supernatural book comes along with possible solutions to real threats....this is one of those times! An excellent, non-stop story that incorporates a big cat sanctuary into a devil possession tale. Not sure how Mr. Koryta did that but its quite an accomplishment. Even the character development, though not extensive, is enough to relate to the people in Blade Ridge.
The deaths over the decades have a commonality that are discovered by a "put out to pasture" newsman, goaded on by a local police official who frequents the local prison to visit a female prisoner that shot him years ago!! Is that enough info to capture your interest? Then lets throw in an escaped panther and a lighthouse in the middle of a forest setting! I know it sounds convaluted, but it works. Don't plan anything when you start The Ridge because your night will be filled.

I'm so glad I finally read my first Michaek Koryta!
I quite enjoyed this well written horror/supernatural thriller.
I liked the investigative aspects, and the setting and big cats added to the creepiness and tension.

I really enjoyed this book. Great story, spooky but not too scary to listen to at bedtime, and a good narrator, Robert Petkoff.
