About this listen

Three weeks on from that night and ChameleoMan & friends are riding high after their first vigilante victory... but Dan & his cats are about to face something far deadlier.

Stopping a mugging was almost too easy, but when a body turns up in the industrial estate, Dan begins to wonder if the superhero life is really for him. Catman is missing, the police are asking tough questions, and shadowy figures stalk the street at night.

With time running out, Dan, Andrew, and the Flash must race to uncover the truth—before the law starts pointing fingers at them. But something darker lurks in the shadows. A sinister presence prowls the forest… Is it an ally, or a threat far worse than they could possibly imagine?

The Shadow That Stalks Behind is the action-packed, laugh-out-loud second book in C. J. Powell's Mousebane and Red Mist series. If you loved There's Something Wrong with the Cats, this suburban sci-fi mystery will keep you on the edge of your seat.

I felt at home with these Characters in book 2 They come alive with the narrator skilfully getting all the nuances from the original. Love the storytelling and the twist and turns can’t wait for book 3

Great follow up to the first one

Another amazing book in the series and fantastic performance by the narrator. Really great combination. I think I laughed even more at this one and loved the continued growth of both lore and Characters. I hope I'm not waiting too long for book 3 to reach audible or I'll just have to read and listen later.

Might be better than book 1

I am obsessed with this series, it has such a unique storyline in the best possible way. It has heart, banter, mystery, twists, chaos and cats. It is very hard to review a book that is this good with lots of twisty turns because I just want to shout out all my favourite bits and characters aaaahhh! But I must bite my tongue due to spoilers. When you have read it drop me a message and we can gab about it.
Dan and the cats are back along with Amy and Andrew from the first book along with some new absolute corkers. The situations these guys find themselves in are absolutely insane yet plausible?! I love it.
This is normal life gone extra ordinary.

Dan and Amy's partnership under pinned everything, His friendship with Andrew and his love for his Boys – the Cats- made me so invested in them all. I love how they all gel so well together even in the most chaotic of moments.

I not only have been reading this book in Kindle and physical format, but throwing in the audiobook too. In for a penny and for a pound!
This is one of my favourite series and the voice acting done by Kevin Kemp is stunning. Characters are just how I had imagined them to sound, actually better. He really embodied all of the banter, humour and suspense and fully dropped me into this series in such a great way. Production quality was wonderful.

I will never stop raving about this Author, they have such a unique narrative and conversational way of writing, which i find my brain just loves. The work that must go into these books must be immense.
Anything by them is a must read for me.
