A Grim Awakening

The Forest of Hollow, Book 1 (Coming of age paranormal series)

By: Schantell Remington

Narrated by: Jamie Treselyan

An ominous deal with Death leads to a boy being hunted by his father.

Thirteen-year-old Ian Grim has always lived under a cloud of whispers and suspicion—a perpetual outsider, marked by a darkness within he doesn’t understand. But the veil of mystery begins to unravel the night his mother vanishes and his father threatens his life. While on the run, Ian learns of a shadow war raging between humanity and the infamous Reaper, and of the Ridirean Anam, Soul Knights who wield their spirits against the ever-growing, supernatural forces.

Ian’s adventures will take him through the Passing, a realm between life and death where other-worldly creatures roam, and into the Forest of Hollow. Deep within the twisted woods, he’ll learn of the dark bargain around his birth. Is Ian the fated one to end the war against an ancient evil or is he the catalyst for an all-new devastating beginning?

A Grim Awakening: The Forest of Hollow is a unique paranormal fantasy—filled with all new kinds of spine-chilling monsters, and a deeply buried secret that will take you beyond the grave.

Just what I was looking for!

I am a huge fan of magic and fantasy, and this book does not disappoint! It draws you in with suspense and intrigue right from the beginning and keeps you excited to know what happens next. The voices the person reading the book uses add to the suspense and magic to the whole story. It is SO well written and I highly recommend listening to it!! I could not download the 2nd book fast enough after finishing this one!

Great book

I really enjoyed reading this book. I was so engrossed that I didn't want to stop reading. I read it in just about a day. In the beginning, I had a bunch of questions, but it's like finding some answers while still having some mysteries to figure out. This book will totally keep you on the edge of your seat. I love the characters and trying to figure out all their motives for what they do. Overall, it's a splendid book.

best new series I've read in a while

great character arcs, engaging plot with a unique take on magic, and masterfully narrated. 10/10 would recommend.
