YOU MAY HAVE ESCAPED... BUT YOU'LL NEVER BE FREE.

After her terrifying experience at the hands of the Watchers, Mina has escaped to a cottage on the west coast of Ireland. She obsessively researches her former captors, desperate to find any way to prolong the safety of humankind.

When Mina encounters a stranger near her home, she fears the worst – for she knows the figure is not what it seems. Soon, people she has encountered start to disappear.

Mina knows the Watchers' power is growing. She flees for her life, but when she reports her fears she finds her sanity questioned. Can she convince people that the Watchers are real, and ready to strike – or will she suffer the fate she has dreaded since she first encountered those malevolent beings?

A chilling modern twist on the Gothic horror novel, perfect for fans of Kealan Patrick Burke, T. Kingfisher and classic horror.©2024 A.M. Shine (P)2024 Head of Zeus

I actually enjoyed this

I couldn’t put it down for long. I love these kinds of stories and the writer did great

fabulous sequel

I had been a bit hesitant to pick up the long awaited sequel to The Watchers due to weak reviews, but ended up not being able to put this one down once it began. it changed its horror type from the subtle creepy ssolitude to more of an action escape horror. even so I vastly enjoyed it. not certain why others would dislike other than the change in pace and tone. I certainly would be up for a 3rd.

Myth and foklore made real

I liked the exploration of the subterranean tunnels and the way all of it was described. Deep and dark and terrifying!

Great part two

Loved the first book and really enjoyed the second! There better be a third book soon! :)

What an excellent and exciting sequel.

I have really come to like this series and the imagination behind it. Well done.

LOVED IT

I couldn't stop listening, except at night when I was getting legitimately freaked out. The author is very good at creating a creepy atmosphere.

I Hope This Will Be Made Into A Movie Sequel

So glad I ignored the so so reviews on this one. Listened to Watchers & saw the movie so I was excited for Stay in the Light. Based on reviews I was afraid I'd end up returning it. This was actually sooooo good & creepy. Twists and turns. The narrator is top notch, going to check for more of her work. Wish there was a book 3 in this series. Going to give this a second listen back to back. It's that good!

Good!! I want more

seriously wouldn't be gotten the Second book, because of people's comments. but came back and saw new comments about being like an adventure! Really enjoyed the Second book, truly hoping for around three of this series

Great narration, surprising ride

The story and performance were both top notch. Its a great sequel to a great book

Incredible Sequel—If You Loved the 1st one, You’ll love this!

This is one incredible sequel and it has stayed with me since the second I finished it…. 🫣 Please, Mr. Shine, write a third book!!! I’m begging you!

There’s one review that says “Where is the Horror” or something like it; while I can understand where that thought is coming from, I think there’s plenty of scary moments/themes to warrant the HORROR GENRE. In my opinion, the first book is more of a horror novel, but this one just blasts you in the gut with insanity from the changelings, referred mainly as The Watchers in the first book obviously.

In my review of the first book, I mention that, if you want a better story about the si, sidhè, fae, fairies, changelings, or whatever you want to call them, Peadar Òguilin’s duology (THE CALL and THE INVASION) is a lot better; It’s more terrifying and, when comparing the stories of first book and Peadar’s duology, it does have a much wider scope. All of that being said, AM Shine took this new story and broke the single locale of the first book and made the entire country of Ireland a huge part of the book. Although I can see this book having the biggest cliffhanger in the history of cliffhangers, I think Shine would do well to keep this story going. I REALLY want to see this story continue—I want to say a word to describe a part of the book, but it would give away too much, so I won’t.

Honestly, if you enjoyed THE WATCHERS, you will love STAY IN THE LIGHT. It’s different, but it is not even close to a betrayal of the original, which happens all the time with sequels. I give the overall story an A- and the narrator definitely deserves an A for her performance in both books! She is such an amazing talent!
