What Did I Just Walk Into?
Picture The X-Files slamming espresso shots while binge-watching Se7en and deciding sleep is optional.
Detective Lindsey Korrey closes one nightmare case and immediately gets tossed into a supernatural police chase with a missing child that Hell would very much like returned to sender.
You don’t ease into this story. You are shoved into traffic.
Here’s What Slapped:
I read the print copy. I listened to the audiobook. Both hit.
On the page, Mr. Derek Barton’s pacing is ruthless. Tight chapters. No wasted movement. Procedural grit fused with supernatural chaos in a way that feels grounded instead of gimmicky.
In audio? Ashley Ulery understood the assignment. Her delivery carries Lindsey’s exhaustion, grit, and edge without overacting it. The tension stays high. The Seekers feel wrong in that subtle, crawling-under-your-skin way. The chase sequences? You can feel the tires screeching.
Lindsey Korrey is not your fragile horror heroine. She’s competent. Determined. Running on fumes and instinct. The dynamic between her and Rory adds emotional weight so it’s not just monsters and mayhem.
And the Seekers? Hard pass. Absolutely not. No thank you.
For a short listen, it delivers more adrenaline than some 12-hour audiobooks that meander into oblivion.
What Could’ve Been Better:
The only real complaint?
It ends.
Two hours feels criminal when you’re that invested. You will immediately want the next installment. This is not a casual “I’ll get to it later” series. This is a “fine, take my money” situation.
Perfect for Readers Who Love:
• Supernatural thrillers with procedural backbone
• High-stakes chases that do not slow down
• Detectives who feel human under pressure
• Horror that blends grit with cosmic-level dread
• Fast listens that punch above their weight
Sum It Up:
On paper, it’s sharp and relentless.
In audio, it’s immersive and tense.
Either way, Evade grabs you by the collar and does not let go.
Sleep schedule? Optional.
Sequel? Required.
