About this listen

Millions of threads so thin as to be invisible, so vaporous as to be ductile, drift through the classroom, emitting a chill and leaving a sense of unease. Hidden deep in their cloaks, the Blue Lights analyze the odors that cling to the individual cells of every child, from the top of each little head to the bottom of their ticklish feet and every dark secret place in between, from their gathering brains to their blood-soaked spleens. One girl feels dizzy; one boy throws up.

In 1918 Montana, the Spanish Flu, severe drought, and a myriad of strange phenomena plague the land. Fires rise in the night and burn down houses where entire families are trapped to die. Can one young mother protect her children from the fevers and the terrors while she unravels the mystery of the strange Blue Lights?

As usual, Dona has come up with a very good, disturbing and scary short horror story!
I like the disturbing character-emulating confusion that comes out in Dona’s writing, adding to the tension of the read.
Sarah really adds to the enjoyment of the book, reading it really well and portraying the characters really well; her tone summing up the atmosphere perfectly!
Again, only missed out on a 5 star rating due to it being a short listen (although good value for money!)
This is an honest opinion of a free review copy.

Set in 1918 rural Montana the Spanish Flu, severe drought and a very mysterious phenomena is plaguing the land.
A young Mother is fighting for her families survival as mysterious fires suddenly start in the night that burn down houses wiping out full families. And then there are the blue lights that analyse children's body cells resulting in illness.
Is all this real or the minds tricks from the bodies thirst and hunger? is there a mystery to be solved at all?.
I enjoyed this short horror story you really could feel the desperation of the main character and the blue lights and cloaks added a very eerie Sci-FI feel to the story.
This is the second audio book I have listened to by this author. I enjoy her short warped tales that take you out of every day life in to an alternative reality whilst holding you in suspense.

Beware of the lights!
