WILDERNESS
The Survival Trilogy, Book 1

by James Brown

Narrated by: Kerr Lordygan

Production by: James Brown

Review by W.D. Douglas

Leeches and Woolies!

This young adult horror novel was an entertaining listen. There are the YA staples, love triangle, betrayal, specific personality types, etc. which are fine and expected. However, the author broke out of these standards a bit with some more unique mindsets and personalities than your everyday YA. As a standalone novel, it's a bit slow to the true conflict of the plot. But as a beginning book in a trilogy, it is understandable. Taking the time to flesh out the wide cast of characters and deliver an exciting end to be continued in the next book in the series. As a side note, I enjoyed that they call the vampires leeches and the werewolves woolies.

Kerr Lordygan's narration of this tale was done well. He did great with his overall pacing and conveyed each scene's emotions well. The only real shortcoming was his work with female voices. Understandably this can be a tough talent to hone with such a natural masculine voice.

Editing, quality, and production were on par with most books I have listened to. It was clear, and no issue with sound or quality.
