About this listen

"You should not have answered its call...."

Professor Stephen Barlow is no longer a skeptic. Having faced the horrors of Chaythe Asylum, he turns his attention to the man responsible for the Third Ward Incident - the enigmatic Dr. Corvine - in the hopes of finding answers to his many questions.

But some things, he soon learns, are better left lost to history.

Traveling to a remote cabin in Michigan in search of the doctor and his research, Stephen finds himself descending deeper into a world of terror and madness. He and his students uncover the frightful truth about Corvine's experiments and realize that they may have unleashed something terrible in their meddling.

Forest is the second novel in the Afterlife Investigations trilogy.

I’m really enjoying this series. I love the unravelling of the mystery and the underlying horror.
As much as I enjoyed this book, it didn’t feel like something you could read independently, it’s very much tied into books 1 and 3 and the degree of the mystery is slightly lessened after the intensity of the first book.
Again, Joe does a great job with the narration though and keeps you hooked right until the end.
Straight into book 3 for me!
This is my honest opinion of a free review copy.

Enjoyable mystery

Let's start with the good stuff - this was the first book where I'd started to listen straight after finishing Book 1 so it's got a lot going for it if you've read Book 1. That makes the characters all familiar and you know "The Story So Far". This Book develops the aftermath of the events in Book 1 and does it well, without any weird left turns in the plot. Yes, there are some surprises and they all work really well.

However, the story ends in the middle of a forest and it's clear you're going to have to read Book 3 to find out how it all ends. I felt disappointed by that and really wanted there to be a pivotal moment at the end of this one like there was in Book 1. Yes, I have Book 3 in my library and I'm going to listen to it next.

Overall, this is good. A good climax would have given it that extra star.

This is the second book I have read / listened to in the afterlife investigations collection. I love the fact that the author has kept the same narrator throughout . The narrators voice is perfect for portraying these stories . It is just a perfect partnership. It is great that you can just jump straight back into where you left of as the stories from the first and second book are intertwined . Although this book is slightly shorter than the first and in my opinion not as creepy - it is a great basis to develop Stephen's character further. Overall I am excited to read the next installment. I was given this book by the author /narrator in return for an honest and unbiased review

A strong follow up to asylum

"Afterlife investigations" suggests more than one story in a trilogy... not so. There is just one story set over three short audiobooks, where it could have been delivered as one. The term Book 1, Book 2 etc., I feel are misleading.
This, the second 'part', reinforces my view as the end is abrupt and does not complete as a story in its own right - what a Trilogy is, in my opinion.
That said, I enjoyed the narration and the story so far. However, I felt it wasn't worth paying yet another credit to complete.
I hope this helps.

Felt a little cheated...

You need to buy all 3 books (or 3 credits): to actually read this 'one book' to its conclusion.
I bought thie first book and then the second book before realising it's a con!
You can for one credit buy a truly good book, by a well known author - but this - is the one book divided into 3!

If it was fantastic - than maybe. But 'the book's' are far fetched and frankly quite bland!! I won't be reading the third (the conclusion) as I won't waste another credit on this- but it's taught me a good lesson-
Some authors - are not worth it. Especially when it's obvious it's a blatant money making endevour, and not worth the one credit - let alone 3 !
So beware people -with good editing it may make the one entertaining book- but chopped into 3 books? No chance!

A royal rip off!
