This was a really short read - I'm talking 32 pages short! It made for the perfect "lunch break" quick read. The suspense was constant, the plot well executed. I wanted a little more with the ending, but for a short horror/suspense it definitely delivered. I'm also glad it was offered as a kindleunlimited. Its currently listed at $2.99, and I have to say, I would not pay that for this book........that's like $.09 - .10 a page - umm no thanks. But if you have kindleunlimited, its defiantly worth checking out.

My original The Basement audiobook review and many others can be found at Audiobook Reviewer.
I am not sure how she did it, but P.M. Prior was able to create so much tension ans suspense in 57 minutes, than I think I have ever felt with a novella.
This was a very attention grabbing abduction, not alien abduction, but psychopath man abducts female law enforcement officer story. And asks us this question, “How far would you go to save your life?”. Would you do the things that, those you are expected to capture, do on a regular basis? Would these actions have anything weight on your soul and emotional well being? All of these questions will be answered by P. M. Prior in The Basement.
This was a very intense and straight forward psychological thriller. Lots of suspenseful moments, err, really one or two really long moments. I am pretty sure that P.M. Prior was able to capture the emotional turmoil that one would go through in such a situation.
While Elizabeth Klett is not a newcomer to the audiobook narration world, this is the first time that this reviewer has ever heard her. I must say that her performance was pretty good. She sounded like she could have been a special agent, meaning not too young or old sounding, but just right. She was able to inject just the right amount of terror in her voice to make it believable, again not too much and not too little. The characterizations for the male characters was not very good, however at least Klett tried. They were different enough for an audible queue of the character change in dialog and, really, that is all that matters. Klett’s tonal fluctuations were more than enough to make up for the lack of pacing changes. I am eagerly waiting more for Klett as I think she is just going to get better and better.

What a fantastic, suspenseful, and shocking short story!
I adored this book. The characters were realistic and entertaining. The plot appeared simple but had two interesting twists which I did not see coming. And the suspense was perfect. As an author myself I appreciate how difficult it can be to create the right tone and mood, especially in a short story. So I was particularly impressed by the tension and suspense. In fact, the writing in general, was excellent. From the descriptions, pace, structure, right down to the eerie atmosphere.
The ending was shocking and mysterious. It left you on a brilliant cliffhanger.
Overall, this book was short, suspenseful, very well written, and enticing.

Did not realize that this was a short story. The storyline was good but very quick.

Quick and scary.
Very fast paced and terrifying, yet strangely satisfying. Very descriptive writing. I look forward to reading more of her work.
