The Crossroads by Chris Grabenstein

5.0

If I'd read this this at a different time or in different circumstances I most likely would have given it four stars instead of five, but I'm inflating the rating because it did such a good job of engaging me. I have a lot going on in my life right now that's keeping my mind very occupied, and often when I listen to an audiobook in this mindset it will never fully grab my attention or focus because of all the noise in my head distracting me. This one did the opposite, giving me a break from the noise by drawing me all the way into its story and keeping me there. Very good storytelling that was a lot of fun, smart without being stuffy, fast-paced without being empty.

Have you ever seen a face hidden in the bark of a tree and known that the man trapped inside wanted to hurt you?
