Summary
Book 2 of the A Grim Awakening series.
After “patching” things up with his dad, Ian Grim is finally able to return home to Darkwood and begin training to use his spirit powers. Of course, his relationship with his dad—or the lack thereof for the past thirteen years, and the fact that his dad wanted to kill him only a few days ago, made things a bit awkward between them.
Ian knew nothing would ever be normal again, but with dreams of skeletons and rats in the walls, missing children and webs of black hair, plus a few house guests, life was a bit strange. Most curious of all was the new quest in Soul Scavenger, the last video game his mom got him before she was taken by the Reaper. The quest was simple enough—find the three gatekeepers to the Lost Bone Catacombs. What was odd was how elements of his game resembled things in real life. Was the Lost Bone Catacombs an actual place? If so, who wanted Ian to open it?"

Another good listen, aimed at the younger audience
A good fast-paced adventure that built on the first volume.
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.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
