Publisher's summary

Twenty years ago, a childhood tragedy drove six friends apart. But when one of them is found dead in the historic, wooded ruins of the New England settlement known as Dogtown, old acquaintances find themselves drawn together.

Now they must work together to solve the meaning behind a message written in blood, a series of attacks, and the mysterious quills that seem to tie them all together. But time is quickly running out.

Indian Summer is a chilling tale of six childhood friends and the things that haunt them - both natural and otherworldly.

Engaging

I am a fan of Lore & his book Consumed. I really enjoyed the storyline of Indian Summer; it kept me engaged & listening.

Glad he found podcasting

First, I would say that I am a huge fan of Aaron Mahnke. I have listen to Lore from the beginning, bought books and have also seen him live. But this book, was not a good book. I have a feeling that the book had promise but was greatly overshadowed by the AWFUL reading ability of the “vocal talent.”

Awesome book

Listened to INDIAN SUMMER while driving to Cincinnati, OH. It filled the time perfectly, the characters were well developed, the storyline was fantastic, and the use of the Native American lore was one of my favorite parts.
This book had me on edge the entire time!

Okay story, not so great narration.

For suspense, this narrator is not the right pick. Too much upward inflection and not enough of a dark or somber tone. Better suited to Goosebumps or something.

Narration and story at odds.

Nothing against the narrator, but they were NOT the right choice for this story. I’m left wishing I’d just read this instead of listening to it.

Meh

I just really didnt enjoy it. Theres a twist that I didnt expect and really made everything before it seem stupid. There are a lot of characters and I found myself getting some of them confused with others. Theres a part where someone is attacked and screaming and I kept wondering why his family couldn't hear him. Then they switch to the point of view of the guy with the family.

Really just need the last two hours.

Ugh! I feel like the story didn’t get interesting until the last two hours!! That’s frustrated me the most. Lots of time spent in the build up. Love his podcasts Lore and saw the reviews for his other books say that it’s a repeat of the podcast so I settled for this. It’s a good story but so much character building and background in the beginning that took forever to get good. Ending was almost anticlimactic - esp knowing all the good stories from Lore - he could’ve done something really spectacular here. Anyways, it wasn’t too bad. Good story for background noise.

Wonderful book

Book is wonderful, I am a fan of the podcast Lore and this book just topped off my love of this author. It would have been awesome to hear Aaron Mahnke narrate this. Wonderful story with mystery and an air of spookiness. A must read if you like Lore
