Summary

Audie Award Nominee, Science Fiction, 2013

Padlocked doors. Strange light fixtures. Mutant cockroaches.

There are some odd things about Nate’s new apartment. Of course, he has other things on his mind. He hates his job. He has no money in the bank. No girlfriend. No plans for the future. So while his new home isn’t perfect, it’s livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don’t nag at him too much. At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela’s apartment. And Tim’s. And Veek’s. Because every room in this old Los Angeles brownstone has a mystery or two. Mysteries that stretch back over a hundred years. Some of them are in plain sight. Some are behind locked doors. And all together these mysteries could mean the end of Nate and his friends. Or the end of everything....

superb

excellent. loved it. rivettjng story, great characters who are utterly believable. i was drawn in from the start and didnt want to stop listening . this was awkward when work got in the way. highly recomend this to all sci-fi fans. loved the nods to "fringe" "torchwood" etc. "neat" as Veek would say!

great book, bit of a naff ending

this is the 1st book ive listened to by this author. I really enjoyed it, although not captivated by it. ot had great potential but i think the ending let it down a bit. However, im going to listen to another by this author. Definitely worth a listen.

Another good one

Another highly enjoyable book from Peter Clines. He's very good at building tension and does so again here. Good characters, great story and a good narrator. I think this could make a really good film or short series.

A rip rolling rollercoaster!

This was my first book by Peter clines!
It will not be my last . I loved everything about it.
Well rounded , interesting characters whom I cared about. Great plot which could have gone many different ways!
I’ll not ruin the plot for other readers, suffice to say it fed my sci fi fantasy needs. There’s intrigue, love & excitement!

What a discovery. Thoroughly enjoyable!

Ray Porter excels, Peter Clines' story is somewhere between "Lost" and the flying spaghetti monster.

A really enjoyable and exciting listen.

If you like a bit of Stephen King, X-Files and Torchwood then this is for you 😉

Original and fast paced

This was a nice easy listen. It kept me interested. Heavily influenced by H. G. Wells, which is no bad thing

Great story which keeps you guessing.

Only my 2nd Peter Clines book but I loved it just as much as Paradox Bound. Story arc and characters are great.
