About this listen
Avery moved to Lake Tahoe for the quiet. She didn’t get that. What she found made her question everything she knew about the world. Basil, her aging golden retriever, has aged in reverse. Her new neighbors make flowers grow in winter. And her student, pale-eyed Bay, can freeze a bully’s heart in his chest. Then there’s Duncan. After Duncan is captured in the Greensward, Avery thinks her biggest challenge is to rescue him, until ICE Agent Graham Braddock shows up at her door, claiming Duncan Sommerfeld is an illegal alien. Oh, if he only knew. Even so, she has to keep her promise to Bay - the promise that she would bring his father home to both of them, but how the heck did you accomplish the impossible?

Mason has never known his father, but longs to. All he has of him is a DVD of a man whose face is never seen, reading a children’s book. One day, on a whim, he plays the DVD for a group of comatose teens at the nursing home where his mother works. One of them, a beautiful girl, responds. Mason learns she is part of an experiment intended to render teenagers into autotrophs—genetically engineered, self-sustaining life-forms who don’t need food or water to survive.

Duncan has been captured and Avery has no idea how to find him. Even worse, an ICE agent appears on her doorstep asking difficult questions about Duncan and soon starts stalking her, certain she knows where Duncan is. But that's only the beginning - every chapter brings new trouble for Avery, Bay and the Aunts, and the emotional strain reaches its peak in a heart-breaking scene near the end of the book.
The pace of the story is much faster than in book one. The background situation having already been set, Ms Hamilton can focus solely on the events and character development. ICE Agent Graham Braddock is an intriguing addition to the set of characters, his unnerving and ominous presence being a constant threat to Avery's peace of mind. Her mother, although appearing only for a brief moment, leaves a strong impression on the reader/listener, and Avery herself gets more complex, sometimes behaving erratically and sometimes acting in cold blood under pressure... And the ending leaves us in an emotional turmoil, both terrified and hopeful of what may happen in book three.
The narration by Ms Hazen is perfect, with the right pace of reading, very good voicing of characters and no overacting whatsoever.
I can't wait to listen to part three:)

The story moves much quicker than the first book. Some may come to believe that Avery doesn’t like children because of her snarky remarks at times; I feel this is truly how most of us feel. Avery is in the unique position of giving voice to those feelings we all experience. I think it is well done and relatable. Sometimes Avery comes across as whiny but when push comes to shove it is clear she is a much stronger woman than we originally believed. This is the perfect mix of fantasy and mystery!
The character development is good and solid as is the plot. I enjoy how Avery works things out in her mind, although there are times I give her an “OMG are you kidding” eye roll. I enjoy this series immensely and feel they are growing better and more exciting.
The narrator, Kelley Hazen, moves the story along with the tone of her voice and emotional inflections which also enables a connection to the listener. Hazen understands and resonates Avery with each word; also, her voice is the correct age and professionalism of Avery the teacher. Further, she is able to do a decent Irish accent.
I highly recommend this audiobook for a light listen and some good solid fun moments as well as emotionally charged ones.
There were no audio issues and the quality was perfect.
