It’s the setting that Heller transports us to, it’s the way Jack expertly moves through the woods, it’s the storytelling. Yet, Peter Heller’s writing was so enthralling that I don’t mind. Though what happens now, is that Jack is all I can think about so I need to go back and read The River, however, I already know what happens at the end, presumably. Peter Heller provided enough backstory for Jack that I felt, well, that’s all I really need to know. I didn’t feel lost while immersed in the woods with Jack, the guests, and the small team that keeps Kingfisher Lodge up and running. And, let me tell you upfront – as a very much on-brand Virgo, I don’t feel as though it’s *necessary* to read The Guide after The River. When I picked up The Guide by Peter Heller, I did not realize it was part of a series. What Jack soon finds out is that there’s something much darker afoot in that canyon he hoped would be a breath of fresh air. Jack, who after years of loss and what-ifs, is attempting to find some new normalcy.Ĭue “Get Shot!” warning signs posted in the meadow (yes, a literal sign, not a metaphorical one) and an ear-piercing scream in the night. Tucked away in a quiet canyon, the pristine water and idyllic views set up what should be a welcome respite for Jack. The moment you crack open The Guide, you’re transported to Kingfisher Lodge.

The twist there just seemed a little too much. However, I wasn’t the biggest fan of the ending. I actually screamed in the car when one particular truth was revealed. I was at the edge of my seat for a few of them. There were some AWESOME twists and turns in this book. It was a long, yet enthralling audiobook that I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. Finding these easter eggs is one of the things that makes re-reading the books so much fun. I thought the narrator was just perfect and I really enjoyed her portrayal of the characters.
