Holiday for the Hostile



Holiday for The Hostile, the second book in The Hostile series, is a gripping contemporary paranormal thriller with a splash of horror. It was published on Amazon in Kindle and paperback editions in December 2016 and can be read as a standalone like the other books in the series. Serena, plus her unusual friend and partner in crime, Tile X, reluctantly find themselves suffering a family holiday at her eccentric grandfather’s hovel in Ireland. Who will manage to escape intact from their dramatic holiday from Hell?

Readers tell me Holiday for The Hostile is even better than book one, The Hostile, the paranormal thriller I published on Amazon 8 months before its sequel. Book three of The Hostile series, The Hostile Game, will be published on Amazon at the end of April in paperback and Kindle editions. I’m currently writing book four, Confronting The Hostile.

Here’s a snapshot of what a few of the readers say about Holiday for The Hostile: “Ms Mutter has carved out a new niche for herself. And from where I'm standing, she's way out in front … With some books, you get an idea where things are going and where they're likely to end. Not this one. Every chapter was a surprise with new characters and situations and a bunch of wonderfully inventive deaths.” “It has plenty of scary bits … can't wait until book three is out.” “The end is a total surprise. Was expecting a skeleton in the family closet, but it turns in a completely different direction, keeping you on your toes and guessing.” “Excellent. Really looking forward to more. Joy tells a good tale.”

My tenth book, THE HOSTILE GAME, will be published on Amazon in Kindle and paperback at the end of April. It’s the third book in The Hostile paranormal thriller series.

The Hostile is book 1,




and book 2 is Holiday for the Hostile.

I’m currently writing book four in the same series.


In The Hostile Game, Manchester-based Serena is now eighteen and pregnant. She finally discovers the reason why Tile X befriended her seven years before. She doesn't like what she hears. Mayhem ensues, with a retired Irish police superintendent becoming more involved than perhaps he should have.

Step into the ‘refreshingly original’ world of The Hostile and lose yourself in a ‘bizarrely captivating’ read. Each book in this series of paranormal crime thrillers can be read as a standalone. The series consists of The Hostile, Holiday for The Hostile, and The Hostile Game. I’m currently writing book four, Confronting The Hostile.

Book 1. THE HOSTILE. (published on Amazon in 2016. 192 pages) http://amzn.to/2pAHALo
In a rundown area of Manchester, inside the bathroom of a terraced house overflowing with children and dysfunctional parents, a powerful entity befriends young Serena with disastrous results. This unlikely enigmatic force not only dramatically affects introverted Serena’s life but also threatens the well-being of everyone she knows, especially those people who've earned the strange girl’s displeasure. It soon becomes clear that nobody should ever upset Serena … if they know what’s good for them. After reading The Hostile, you’ll never look at D.I.Y. in the same way again.
Available on Amazon as a Kindle and paperback. The audiobook is available on Audible, Amazon and iTunes.

Book 2. HOLIDAY FOR THE HOSTILE. (published on Amazon in 2016. 208 pages) http://amzn.to/2fJTSg0
Serena, plus her unusual friend and partner in crime, Tile X, reluctantly find themselves suffering a family holiday at her eccentric grandfather’s hovel in Ireland. Who will manage to escape intact from their dramatic holiday from Hell?

Thrilled to report the release of the audiobook edition of my paranormal crime thriller, Holiday for The Hostile, narrated by the highly talented Alexander Doddy. I couldn't be more pleased with his performance. He put his heart and soul into it. He even tackled the Irish and Scottish accents brilliantly when they cropped up in the story. Book 1, The Hostile, is already on Audible, Amazon and iTunes. As it was released before I'd heard of Alexander Doddy, I narrated it myself.

Holiday for The Hostile audiobook is available on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes, but if anyone wants an Audible promo code for it, private message me with your email address and I'll email one to you. If you leave a review of the audiobook, I'd be forever grateful as it obviously has no ratings or reviews yet because it's just been released.

Here is a link to the audiobook of Holiday for The Hostile on Audible.co.uk http://adbl.co/2sELKis, and on Audible.com http://adbl.co/2uhDMOd.

Alexander has also finished narrating Book 3, The Hostile Game. I finished listening to it today and he's done another fantastic job. I'm so glad I selected him as narrator. The Hostile Game audiobook should be available on the same sites as books 1 and 2 in a couple of weeks or so.

I'm currently writing Chapter 26 of Book 4, Confronting The Hostile. When it's finished and published in Kindle and paperback on Amazon, I'd also love Alexander to narrate the audiobook of Confronting The Hostile, if he's not too busy. With his talent, he's bound to be much in demand.

Hurry! For a limited time, the audiobook of Holiday for the Hostile, narrated by Alexander Doddy, is only £3.47 on Audible.co.uk http://adbl.co/2v4bTZT and $4.16 on Audible.com. https://t.co/hHBhsiuxJX. Over six and a half hours of pure entertainment.

UPDATE: I've just looked on Amazon and the audible narration has been added (hooray!) which means anyone can download the audiobook on Amazon for £3.47 or equivalent currencies http://amzn.to/2sZPiRp. I'm delighted by this news as my prime objective is for people to listen to my books as well as read them, especially when they've been so wonderfully narrated. At this lower price, I might get my wish one day.
