About this listen
Welcome to The Waiting Mortuary.
Bash Trawler wants to find an easy summer job, so he can get back to partying with his friends. When he discovers an advertisement in the local paper for night watch at a nearby funeral home, he jumps at the chance to make quick money. But staying up all night watching corpses for an eccentric war vet turns into something out of his worst nightmares.
Casey McClair wants to make it to the tennis team. Popularity has never come easily to her, and she’s willing to practice into the late evening and follow all the rules of the game if it means she’ll finally find acceptance. But when she's kidnapped, she'll have to fight to survive a harrowing ordeal with a cold and calculated serial killer.
X knows about pain. He's been through the worst of what humans do to each other. He's not a victim, though. The thrill is in the fight, and he'll make sure his victims know it.
Three stories intertwine to tell the sickening tale of what goes on inside The Waiting Mortuary.

TJ does exceptionally well in this one at conveying fragility and sensitivity throughout the story. When needs be, his voice carried the emotion of the scene very well no matter whether the character was male or female. Sometimes male narrators can struggle to make a female character sound serious and quite often their attempts at a female voice newly come across as comical. That's not the case with TJ.
Over all his narration was great to listen to, he got the darkness, the fragility and was easy on the ears. I enjoyed this one and I'm somewhat saddened to see he didn't get the gig on the sequels.
Now, on to the story. It's well done! I enjoyed how it played out with the turns the story took and I liked the development and arcs of the characters involved. I also liked the way that the antagonist was written, as strong and as scary as they could be, they weren't without their own weaknesses.
The story itself reaches a satisfying conclusion and leaves room for more intriguing development in the sequels.
I will be returning to this series after I get more of my listening out if the way in other books in my library.
Brilliant!
