An ominous deal with Death leads to a boy being hunted by his father.
Thirteen-year-old Ian Grim has always lived under a cloud of whispers and suspicion—a perpetual outsider, marked by a darkness within he doesn’t understand. But the veil of mystery begins to unravel the night his mother vanishes and his father threatens his life. While on the run, Ian learns of a shadow war raging between humanity and the infamous Reaper, and of the Ridirean Anam, Soul Knights who wield their spirits against the ever-growing, supernatural forces.
Ian’s adventures will take him through the Passing, a realm between life and death where other-worldly creatures roam, and into the Forest of Hollow. Deep within the twisted woods, he’ll learn of the dark bargain around his birth. Is Ian the fated one to end the war against an ancient evil or is he the catalyst for an all-new devastating beginning?
A Grim Awakening: The Forest of Hollow is a unique paranormal fantasy—filled with all new kinds of spine-chilling monsters, and a deeply buried secret that will take you beyond the grave.

I instantly became invested in the story, characters and the new world we were introduced to and couldn't stop listening!
The narrator was absolutely fantastic too and brought the characters to life perfectly, I'll definitely be seeking out and listening to more books narrated by him.
I can't wait for the next installment and to find out what lies in store for Ian Grim and his friends.
An intriguing introduction to a what I hope will be a long series.

Overall, I enjoyed this book. The story and narration grabbed my attention from the beginning and held it.
The author skipped many of the pitfalls that new fantasy authors tend to fall into. There was sufficient world-building and no glaring plot holes to jar the fantasy.
My only criticism is that it was a bit too "young" for me - but I am well aware that I am not the target audience. As a reader in my 50s, I found the teen and pre-teen protagonists unbelievably young (or, more accurately, unbelievably mature and capable) when one was reminded of their ages. I don't think that this will bother the target audience at all.
The narrator was good. There were a couple of voices that I found grating (particularly the falsetto ones) and a few instances of what I thought were misplaced emphasis in the reading, but not many and i would certainly listen to other books narrated by Jamie Treselyan again.
I was offered a free copy of the second volume, but decided that the author and narrator deserved paying for their work, so I spent a credit on it, instead. A couple of hours in, I have not regretted it so far...
A good story. Worth a credit.
