Baskerville Book Reviews

The biggest thing working against this story is the lack of originality. I’ve seen the majority of the plot elements a dozen times before. Despite this, I still enjoyed it.

It’s a rather short audiobook which makes it a great introduction, giving you a chance to see if the series is for you. While it doesn’t end on a cliffhanger, the story remains unfinished. This story is entirely set up for a series.

For lack of a better way to put it, the story seems very PG-13 or YA-friendly. It doesn’t focus on sex, violence, or gore. While that’s great for younger audiences, I prefer books that are more grounded in reality.

It’s the concept of the story that appeals to me the most. When somebody discovers that the world contains supernatural elements that have been miraculously hidden from the public; they get involved and discover an age-old struggle. I’ve seen this in Harry Plothole, Supernatural, Men In Black, etc. While it’s not bringing anything new to the table, I’m sure this will make a great starter book for people new to these plot elements.

The narration was great. I didn’t have any issues with the narrator or repeated dialogue and other errors often found in Audible books.
