He had a couple of weeks to kill.

When Strider, an unassuming hiker fresh off the Appalachian Trail, needs extra cash, a curio shop owner suggests Winter's Farm, a popular stop for hikers looking for day work. What seems like a lucky break turns into a series of horrors as one by one his fellow hikers disappear, including his fiancee.

A cast of colorful characters complicates his quest to find her, and after stumbling on the dark truth his search turns to a desperate escape from the farm's kooky owner.

But a foreboding electric fence stymies his chance of freedom, in High Voltage, part of A. B. Gibson's Appalachian Trail Murder Mysteries.

What a page-turner -- seriously. Couldn't put it down. Much to the dismay of my partner, I stayed up till 5am to finish it. Already ordered the other books by Gibson!

Evil Lurked Around Every Corner

Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2018

The author opened the storyline with a seemingly innocent hike along the Appalachian Trail by thirty-five-year-old Strider. Off to a fast start, the chance meeting of a young woman, Daisy, on the trail would eventually lead to romance and possibly marriage. Things were moving along at the speed of light. However, it was from this point forward that the well-written storyline took some devious twists and turns that time would never be able to erase. With destiny cast in stone, unknowingly, the unsuspecting couple was doomed from the start.

Learning of a farm that hired day workers, the couple decided to give it a whirl. They were in need of some extra bucks. The pay was quite a bit more than they had expected. From the outset, it just sounded too good to be true. Unfortunately, as bad luck would have it, nightmarish events were in the forecast.

Mysteriously, Daisy went missing. Suspicious of foul play, Strider set out to find his missing lover only to discover that a sinister presence was at work. Finding himself trapped, he might be next to vanish. Against all odds, he would do everything in his power to try and stay alive and rescue the damsel in distress. Time was running out. Perched on the edge of my chair, I was totally unprepared for the electrifying ending.

I send my thanks to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for this ARC in exchange for an unbiased review.

Waste Of Time

Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2019

The basis of this story is excellent. Strider, a young man between jobs, is hiking the Appalachian Trail. He meets a young woman and they team up to hike together. When they soon run out of money, they are directed to Winter’s Farm, where they would find day work.

The book goes downhill from there. The writing is juvenile, the characters are weak, the story jumps from one weird scene to another, it is easy to predict what’s coming next, and Strider falls in love with every young woman he spends more than an hour with. There is just no depth to the book, it’s like a series of thoughts written down with little direction or continuity. I just can’t recommend this book.

High in the mountains

Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2018

Hiking the Appalachian Trail is considered by many as one of nature's greatest challenges. It is a great way to break from the daily grind of modern life, or so thought Strider. He had a few weeks before starting a new job and decided to hike a portion of the Trail. When he meets an attractive young woman along the Trail and finds work on a farm that caters to hikers, Strider believes that life is really going his way. His perspective changes quickly, however, when hikers began to disappear from the farm and the owner seems strangely unconcerned. It isn't until he finds a stash of hikers' gear in an abandoned house nearby that he realizes the farm owner has secrets she intends to keep at any cost.
High Voltage by A.B. Gibson is an entertaining and fast-paced novel. This is the first novel I’ve read by Gibson and I was not disappointed. The characters are engaging and fully believable and the plot has just enough realism to make one believe that it could happen. There are many remote areas along the Appalachian Trail and there are people in these areas who rarely interact with modern society. Gibson has created a novel that is right on the line between a mystery and horror novel. I fully recommend this book to everyone and give it 4/5 stars.

*A copy of the ebook is the only compensation I received in exchange for this review.*

A Man Hiking The Appalachian Trail Finds More Than He Is Looking For...

Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2019

A fast-paced thriller that builds around a man hiking the Appalachian trail. "Strider", using his hiking name, has a few weeks before starting a new job and when a friend suggests he tackle the Trail he enjoys the idea. The characters he meets are interesting and there are several conversations that suggest 'different' meanings!
The tension builds when the girl he has met is becoming too attached to Strider, and much too quickly! They need some cash and are directed to a farm where the owner pays hikers for work and allows them to camp right on the grounds.
It all seems okay at first,but strange things are happening and then people leave unexpectedly...Strider decides to run back into town to purchase a ring for the girl, Daisy. Several problems arise and he can't get back to the farm until the next day, only to find his things gone and Daisy missing!! What the heck is going on!!
The characters are different and believable, the plot turns to horror and fear!!
A very enjoyable mystery/horror story from a place where many are loners and social outcasts...
A great first read for me by this author,my thanks to Netgalley for the introduction!
I give you my honest thoughts in this review of a great read that you may like to take a look at.

Clever! Intense! Compelling!

Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2019

“High Voltage” is a clever and highly entertaining mystery thriller involving missing hikers and dark secrets. The characters are engaging and fully believable and the plot has just enough realism to make one believe that it could happen. As the story unwinds, there are many surprises, twists and turns that make this an enjoyable read. This was a Intense, compelling, and wholly original novel that I absolutely loved and highly recommend. An advance reader copy was provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for my honest review.

Thrilling

Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2019

Thank you Netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This was an interesting read. Striker is out hiking when he meets Daisy who becomes his hiking girlfriend. They run low on funds and agree to work for money at a nearby farm. What follows is a series of disappearances and a horrific secret. The Author does a great job building the suspense and fleshing out the characters. It's a bit slow in the beginning but it definitely picks up at the farm.
An enjoyable, scary story.
