Holy F#%k,... before I say any more please read Tormented & Horror In The Woods by Lee Mountford BEFORE reading this book,.... wow wow wow loved this. Lee's extraordinary impressive ability to describe inhumane creatures and his modern and impressive vocabulary had be totally captivated. This book dose, in a way, directly relate to his book Tormented hence why I said read it,.... if you dont like *Extreem Horror* dont read this very gory, properly done, injury/injury detail death and the rest of the stomach turning horror. I however loved this, and my ADHD brain was firing off hard reading this.
Big sis and little bro in trouble trope done right, hell excellently in its entirety 5☆ all the way yes yes yes I am now a Lee Mountford Fanboy

This is probably my least favorite by this author, but this is definitely a me factor. I hate this specific trope, and I don’t think I can ever recall a book I like with this trope..

Despite that, I did enjoy Hannibal Hill’s narration and probably the only reason I didn’t stop listening. Started good though! 
dark medium-paced

This book goes somewhere you don’t want your imagination to slip to and if- IF, by chance you do allow your walls to slip, and allow your mind to wander in just a little; allow yourself to become a character in the story; immerse yourself like most of us so love to do in books, thinking it is safe to do so...
well this one will leave you with a little something. This universe of books will definitely change you.

Think very hard about where you tread before you do. Unfortunately I have a very vivid imagination and so I was seeing the horrors described here in vivid high definition terror in my mind. I don’t forget either.
What was so bad?
Let’s just say, the town of Netherwell (lovely name, why doesn’t everyone want to move there!?) has its share of weirdos like every town and we aren’t talking super awesome weirdos, we are talking the kind that want you to join them, eat other ppl with them, then be sacrificed to some hideous thing in a hellish dimension to get an even more eternally dark creature to notice you so you can bring about utter chaos.
Let me warn you, the chaos is described in detail, slow deaths, very slow, agonizing... and I had to flip a switch. Not sure I realized this happened. I think I went into what I like to call
“ reader’s shock©️™️”. ( little joke to lighten the mood)
Even though I was switched off and as an observer (this isn’t my usual thing) my mind still screamed ..... Noooo!
The other two (this is part of a set) are like this as well with hellish creatures and situations/ realms. I have only read one other in the universe.
