D.S. Quinton was born in the Midwest USA and attended the schools of daydreaming, foosball, and mixology. He is an avid student of the unknown and grew up on Greek mythology, the Twilight Zone, and Night Gallery.
He is the author of the Spirit Hunter supernatural thriller series and the Circus Sideshow supernatural oddity series, along with a few other interesting tales.
Although his guitar slide is rusty, the piano keys are warm, and despite the lure of many untraveled paths, his feet are generally moving forward.
You can find him at dsquinton.com, some social media platforms, or on his deck solving the world’s problems with his wife and a good bottle of wine.
Del Larouche is a young woman with an amazing gift; a gift that keeps getting her into unimaginable trouble! While she longs to be a reporter, Del realizes that she must use her gift to help her become financially stable. But then children begin to disappear. Del realizes that she must use her gift to find and save the missing children. She is not prepared for the darkness she uncovers or the realization that her world is far more terrifying than she or anyone could have imagined.
D.S. Quinton, the author, is very skilled at creating characters that are endearing as well as those that are terrifying. He draws his listeners in and wows them with his storytelling ability. He is a master at his writing, capturing the imagination of his listener, and adding twists that leave the listener on the edge of their chairs. While a mystery, the supernatural aspect of it is the pièce de résistance.
The narrator, Allen Grunerud is fabulous! He gives unique voices to each character, gives a flawless performance, and is consistent with the accents. His work adds to the story, moving it along and draws in the listener even further. He makes the audiobook!
This is a supernatural mystery series that listeners of all ages can appreciate! There is a lot going on in this series – a young woman coming of age, her struggles, supernatural/religion, belief system, and more. Quinton does an outstanding job of painting this story through his rich and vivid words.
There were no issues with the quality or production of this audiobook, it was clear and well produced.

I have to admit this book didn’t hold my interest like the first. There was so much detail. The ending though! Now I have to read the next book. I have to know what happens to Dell and everyone. It just stopped just as it was getting good.

I have enjoyed the Spirit Hunter series so far. As Del learns more about her abilities and the world of possibities that have opened up to her many questions and doubts arise.
What started as a great story in the first book completely implodes in the second. I don't know how the story gets so muddled and unrealistic such a wasted story.
