Summary
It has existed for centuries.
A dark curse held captive by an ancient ritual, a creature of insatiable hunger possessing the ability to change shape at will. During the spring and fall equinox it would break through the walls separating our worlds to feed.
Now it walks among us, unrestrained, and very hungry.
Daniel Blackbird has been chasing the murderous shapeshifter known as The Walker across North America for over a decade. From north of the 60th parallel to the city of Chicago and into the heartland of a small midwestern town in Manitoba, Blackbird follows unrelenting, obsessed with vengeance. In its wake, the Walker leaves a bloody trail of eviscerated victims along the path. Blackbird finds himself drawn to the prairie town of Thomasville where a string of child murders is being investigated.
There, the chief of police, David Logan has uncovered a mass grave in the cornfield of a local farmer named Stephen Hopper. Hopper has confessed, even identified the graves, but claims that he is merely the caretaker of this macabre burial ground and that a creature who he thinks is the devil is responsible.
As Chief Logan grapples with the unthinkable, Blackbird sets out for the prairie town which, as the equinox approaches, is destined to become a killing ground where cultures and worlds will collide.
Will he get there in time? And who will believe him?

Excellent And Enjoyable
I really enjoyed this story which was set in North America.I also enjoyed getting to know all the believable and interesting characters, the plot was really clever and it kept my brain cells going right until the exciting conclusion.This book is extremely well written and I look forward to reading other books by MJ Preston. The narrator Scott Cluthe was also superb and really brought the story to life.

Chilling, gruesome, and absolutely addictive
For many years, Daniel Blackbird has been chasing the evil Skin-Walker, a shape-shifting ghoul of Native American lore. As the Autumn Equinox approaches, a time when the walls between the worlds grows thin, his search leads him to a small town where the local police force are dealing with a twisted serial killer and a macabre mystery.
I was absolutely gripped by this story by MJ Preston. Listening to the audiobook, I could almost picture the scenes being played out on a film screen. This was in no small part due to the fantastic narration of Scott Cluthe, who really performs the narrative with gusto and aplomb. I could not stop listening, and found myself binge-listening when I should have been sleeping, so engrossing and engaging was the story and the performance.
Highly recommended!

Unique Storyline
I love the fact that this book has such a unique storyline, not easy to pull off in the horror genre. Pretty much every horror book I have read instantly reminds me of some horror film/book or another but this book does not. For that fact alone I would recommend this book to every horror fan out there. On top of that it is a great read. The characters are well developed and multi-layered. I loved the way Native folklore was woven throughout the story, it had an old otherworldly feel but is clearly set in modern times. From start to finish this book kept my attention and was very well written. There were a couple of errors that should have been edited out were the narrator repeated sentences, but do not let that put you off the audiobook, this only happened twice and was quickly ignored as you continue with the story. Scott Cluthe does an amazing job at narrating the book. He pulls off a very convincing 'evil monster' voice which was particularly creepy and did a great job at distinguishing the individual voices of the other characters, of which there were many. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Dark And Intriguing
Truly a great example of good solid writing. Preston gets to the point, trimming of the fat, to get to the interesting parts. Pretty much every character has a good level of development to the point that they feel like people rather than plot devices. It's easy to get drawn in with some of the great imagery that paints very vivid pictures.
My only real complaint with the book is that it can be somewhat difficult to keep track of characters mainly the police officers. I found myself hearing a name trying to remember who they were. (This is most likely just my poor memory for names but worth a mention)
The narrator (Scott Cluthe) creates a perfect atmosphere for the story to truly take hold. Scott Cluthes overall demeanour perfectly matches the scenes of the book while still keeping a dark tone throughout.
Overall I truly enjoyed my time with The Equinox and I might just re-listen to it at some point
