Penguin presents the audiobook edition of The Beast Awakens by Joseph Delaney, read by Lee Ingleby. They heard shouting and cries of fear. Crafty looked down the slope and realised what had happened to cause so much panic. Without warning, the dark wall of the Shole had advanced. Crafty can't remember a time before the Shole - the terrifying mist that has engulfed most of Britain, leaving those trapped in it to either die or be transformed into horrifying monsters: the aberrations.

As always, Delaney delivers an engaging, entertaining, and semi-spooky tale filled with wonderful characters and supernatural/fantasy fun. I am thrilled that we get to enter this world after The Spook's Apprentice finished. Although this is not the same universe, it has the same appeal. The narrator also does a fine job, though the near whisper volume almost did me in in the beginning. It was too low to listen in the car until the volume increased. Cannot wait for the next installment!

Melanie is a very special girl. Dr. Caldwell calls her "our little genius". Every morning, Melanie waits in her cell to be collected for class. When they come for her, Sergeant keeps his gun pointing at her while two of his people strap her into the wheelchair. She thinks they don't like her. She jokes that she won't bite, but they don't laugh. Melanie loves school. She loves learning about spelling and sums and the world outside the classroom and the children's cells. She tells her favorite teacher all the things she'll do when she grows up.

I didn't know what to expect. I knew the book had been optioned for film so I wanted to read it before that happened. I expected a bite of horror, but the novel was a simple yet powerful exploration of humanity. Each character had depth that made me yearn to read more of them, with shades of complexity that have them three dimensional depth. It held my attention the entire way through...and made me care about everyone in a way I did not expect. Wonderful novel. Absolutely wonderful. Days after finishing it, I'm still thinking about it, wondering about the "after."

I love this series from Nicholas Sansbury Smith. It's one of the few series that not only managed to maintain my interest, but keep me on the edge of my seat. I'm completely invested in the characters and chomping at the bit to find out how they're going to beat the variants. Also, Bronson Pinchot is THE perfect narrator for this series. I want more!!!
