Book Review: The Peter Chronicles

I stumbled upon the first book in The Peter Chronicles, Happy Ever After by Matt Shaw, when one of my friends rated and reviewed this book on Goodreads. The premise sounded interesting, so I decided to check it out with my Kindle Unlimited subscription. I had just discovered an excellent indie horror series by an author who would soon become one of my favorites.

A Book Review of The Peter Chronicles by Matt Shaw

 

 

 

 

 

 

Happy Ever After, an indie horror novel by Matt Shaw, is the reader’s first introduction to Peter, a killer who abducts women to live in his home in an attempt to create his own happy ending. The victim in his first book is a young woman named Vanessa, who awakens in Peter’s home after having been kidnapped by him and fearfully discovers who Peter is and the plans he has for her. The story is told from the perspectives of both Peter and Vanessa. Happy Ever After is filled with dark twists and turns and lots of suspense. What does Peter want from Vanessa? Is there ever a chance that she’ll be able to outwit him and break free? All of the horror is well supplemented with elements of dark humor. The first book in the series is a quick read and a real page turner.

Best of all, the story doesn’t end there. Happy Ever After has sequels: G.S.O.H. Essential, A Fresh Start, Peter, All Good Things, and Once Upon a Time. The other books in the series continue Peter’s adventures and delve into his backstory, as Vanessa is just one of Peter’s multiple victims. The killer’s rough upbringing, alluded to in the stories, is told in its entirety in the 9 Months Trilogy.

All of the books in The Peter Chronicles are available on Amazon from 99 cents to $2.99 depending on the book. All are also available for rental with a Kindle Unlimited description. Definitely check out The Peter Chronicles if you’re looking for some indie horror to enjoy in small bites.
