About this listen
A haunting new adventure awaits Ian Grim, one between a video game and reality.
Ian never expected to return to his home in Darkwood, not after his father tried to kill him. Yet, his fate was forever changed. To save his mother from the Reaper, Ian would need to master his spirit powers, which meant letting go of old wounds and reconciling with his estranged father. But being haunted by nightmares of skeletons and rats in the walls, plus unruly children causing mayhem all over Darkwood, and some unexpected house guests, nothing was so simple.
When his video game’s new sidequest—find the three gatekeepers of the Lost Bone Catacombs—begins to mirror his reality, Ian faces a chilling question: Is the Lost Bone Catacombs just part of the game, or are its doors waiting to be opened in the real world?
For fans of supernatural thrillers and coming-of-age fantasies, A Grim Awakening: The Lost Bone Catacombs beckons you to unearth an ancient secret buried bone-deep.
Listeners also enjoyed...
It is definitely aimed at a younger audience than me (50+), but should be enjoyable to those that enjoyed the first.
The narration was mostly good, with some of the accents forming the main exception. From context, I am guessing that the Last Gatekeeper's accent was supposed to be Irish, but it sounded like no Irish person I've ever met - and I've met a lot. The thing about accents is that they're not actually necessary. Read the story without an accent and it won't really matter, I probably won't even think about it - but read it with a really bad attempt at an accent and it kills the illusion stone dead. You can't not notice it.
There were a few places where I thought the emphasis was in the wrong place in the sentence, but, accents aside, Jamie Treselyan is a generally a good narrator, with good pace and range of voices.
Another good listen, aimed at the younger audience
