Speed Demons

by Jeffrey Beesler

Chase Weaverson would have preferred moving to the family farm all on his own. Instead, he finds himself alongside his younger brother, Dylan, who’s left behind more girlfriends in Hedon City than Chase can count. It’s bad enough Chase has to watch out for idiots on the road, whose reckless speeding and swerving nearly leads him to crash his pick-up. Concentrating on driving while putting up with his brother’s two-timing antics almost makes him give Dylan the boot.

When Dylan whines about needing to make a pit stop in Helensview, the brothers wind up at the town’s newest gas station. The highway insanity follows them there as people start attacking each other for no apparent reason besides cheap gas. Worse, an argument breaks out between the brothers, leading Dylan to storm out on Chase.

As Chase considers leaving Dylan behind, the people of Helensview start changing into road raging demons. But they don't intend to kill Chase. They’d much rather make him into one of their own, and they start by managing somehow to whisper inside his head.

Can Chase overcome the demons and save both himself and Dylan?

I really enjoyed this book and couldn't say enough good things about it! Chase and Peedler were great and their back and forths were amazing and the story was so good! Solid Four Star Read!

This story was not at all what I was expecting. For some reason I imagined it as a tale of two brothers who need to work out their issues with each other using fast cars as a backdrop for the plot, but in actuality, it's a gripping tale of supernatural transformations and an unending feeling of unease and isolation. As a long time Beesler fan, I have to say that this little book stands out as one of my favorites. The story also has a few well developed characters that are interesting to learn about, and the plot always has a sense of mystery that makes the reader want to keep on reading.

Brothers Chase and Dylan Weaverson are on a road trip to visit their parents. Aside from some random road rage and typical family squabbles, the trip is without major incident. One more pit-stop in Hellensview and then they’ll be home. The townsfolk in Hellensview are an ornery lot. What’s going on with all the aggression tonight? While Chase waits for Dylan to come back from the gas station store, he witnesses the violence hiking up a notch or two. People are raging and turning into demons! As the night goes on and the violence escalates, the brothers must decide whether to stay and help or get out of Dodge. What is causing this, and will it spread? Chase heard something about Demonized Hydro-Carbons. WTF? I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

I listened to the audio version of this story.his was a good horror story.Two brothers on their way to reclaim a farm stop in a town where people are turning into demons.They get sucked into the melee.We get to find out who these people are and who they'd like to be.Robert Neil DeVoe does a great job as narrator.I do not think anyone could have made me dislike Petal (? I listened,remember) as much as he did!
I was gifted a copy for an honest review through Audioblast
