Review from audible audiobook.
Book
Janae Mitchell has a way with words. I found this story interesting and eerie. I was drawn right in and found myself dreading what would happen next. I can feel many emotions while reading a book, but very few writers has been able creep me out like Janae did with this one. Ouija boards has always creeped me out, but even if they hadn’t before, I believe Janae would have just successfully succeeded. Unleashed is a fantastic and horrific story, equipped with possession and death, with a little bit of a love story mixed in. It has everything you could want in this kind of book and more.
Jailyn and Prestley are friends that one day make the horrible decision to try out an Ouija board. After that everything goes to hell with; mysterious sound, people missing, and Jailyn being stalked. Jailyn finally has to enlist help, but who should she trust and who will ultimately betray her? Will it ever be over? Or is it just the beginning?
Narration
Shannon Tyo has a great voice to listen to and she brings life to Unleased by reading with such great passion and emotion. I was so happy to find that she was NOT a monotone reader. A good book can be ruined with a bad narration and I believe Shannon’s narration enhanced the overall feel of Unleashed. She also read at a good speed, not too slow or too fast.
There is only one problem that I found. There is little to no voice differentiation for each character. Every character sounded the same, but aside from that her performance was spectacular. So if the voice not changing for each character is not a problem for you, you should love this narration. I would defiantly listen to more books narrated by her.
Janae is a fabulous writer and with Shannon’s narration this book is brought to life in living color. Congratulations on a job well done ladies

WOW WOW WOW, I don't know what to say. This is my first time reading anything by Janae. AND let me tell I have been missing out. Now this is the first time I have read anything like this!!! The characters are amazing, even Steven!!! (You have to read this to see what i'm talking about.)
"Goodnight Precious"
"Good Bye"
This freaked me the hell out that i had trouble falling asleep last night. That's what I get for reading this in the wee hours of the night!!!
Janae...... You are going to give Stephen King a run for his money !!!!!!!

Don't read this book in a room with all the lights turned off when you're by yourself. I made that mistake and freaked myself out! I've read a lot of creepy books, but this one just takes creepy to another level. I think it's because I'm a very spiritual person and I believe you shouldn't mess with the other side if you don't know what you're doing. Actually, you shouldn't mess with it at all. That's what two friends, Jailyn and Prestley, do when they decide to play around with a ouija board. Jailyn has this off feeling about it from the beginning, but doesn't listen to it and from that point on they welcome in a darkness that changes their lives. Besides the creep out factor of the book I really enjoyed the characters that Janae created. Jailyn, who is telling most of the story, is likable. She has sort of a dry sense of humor and I found that really relatable. Prestley reminded me of the rowdy one, but she wasn't annoying at all and by the end of the book she had my heart. She went through some rough stuff. The girls fit perfectly together and you could see why they were best friends. The bad guy, not that I'm going to give anything away, was bad in every way possible. He was sick, twisted, disgusting and freaked the heck out of me. I know I've said that a million times, but it's true! If you like freaky, creepy books then you'll love this one.

Classic horror story!
This was my 1st audio book and I loved it! I am now hooked on reading other works by Janae Mitchell and listening to many more audio books. I don’t read too much paranormal but this story intrigued me. Once I started this one, I couldn’t stop. It went from fun, creepy and scary and the ending was perfect! All the characters are likeable and I enjoyed the scene where they all got together to fight the evil. I would highly recommend reading this book but not at night or by yourself.

Wow I Loved This Book
If you are wanting goosebumps and a lot of spirit spooky stuff this is it . This is my kinda fast paced thriller. I really enjoyed the character's and the way the Author took you into the Spirit World. This is not a long book but every page kept me wanting more and I really liked the ending because it left you wondering. I really like this Author and recommend this one !!!

I was really hoping for more from this book! Although I commend Janae for putting forth the effort to write an interesting story, it just kind of fell flat. So much more could have been done with this storyline. It was very hard to get through this book due to all of the misspellings/grammar mistakes. I'm not the smartest in the world, but I definitely could have edited this better than whoever did! I was disappointed, but at least it was interesting.

I saw a Ouija Board wen I was young. Thought it was a bunch of bull. If this had happened when I was young, I think I would have croaked. LOL This is a very good book about the Ouija board and what can happen. S P O O K Y !!!
