About this listen

High school senior Andrew Perrault finds refuge in the twisted fairy tales that he writes for the only person who can ground him to reality—Thomas Rye, the boy with perpetually ink-stained hands and hair like autumn leaves. And with his twin sister, Dove, inexplicably keeping him at a cold distance upon their return to Wickwood Academy, Andrew finds himself leaning on his friend even more.

But something strange is going on with Thomas. His abusive parents have mysteriously vanished, and he arrives at school with blood on his sleeve. Thomas won’t say a word about it and shuts down whenever Andrew tries to ask him questions. Stranger still, Thomas is haunted by something, and he seems to have lost interest in his artwork—whimsically macabre sketches of the monsters from Andrew’s wicked stories.

Desperate to figure out what’s wrong with his friend, Andrew follows Thomas into the off-limits forest one night and catches him fighting a nightmarish monster—Thomas’s drawings have come to life and are killing anyone close to him. To make sure no one else dies, the boys battle the monsters every night. But as their obsession with each other grows stronger, so do the monsters, and Andrew begins to fear that the only way to stop the creatures might be to destroy their creator.

I enjoyed this very much! It was really more than expected, and not what I expected as well. There was a lot of heart, and so much angst and god, the twist. I don’t know what to believe or what to make out of the ending. Michael Crouch’s narration was so so good, he really made the characters come to life!

The absolute best book I’ve listened to in a long time! The writing was phenomenal and I think Michael Crouch was the perfect choice for narration. I don’t know if anyone else could have made it come alive like he did. Definitely recommend!

This story was beautifully written despite sometimes being confusing or long winded. I liked all of the characters. There were a couple of twists I wasn't expecting but really enjoyed. This book would make a really good live series adaptation so I hope Netflix or someone picks it up.

not what I expected and I loved it
