Publisher's summary
An eerie horror debut about a little boy who recovers from a mysterious illness and inherits an imaginary friend who makes him do violent things....
Kids have imaginary friends. Rachel knows this. So when her young son, Billy, miraculously recovers from a horrible flu that has proven fatal for many, she thinks nothing of Delfy, his new invisible friend. After all, her family is healthy and that's all that matters.
But soon Delfy is telling Billy what to do, and the boy is acting up and lashing out in ways he never has before. As Delfy's influence is growing stranger and more sinister by the day, and rising tensions threaten to tear Rachel's family apart, she clings to one purpose: to protect her children at any cost - even from themselves.
We Hear Voices is a gripping near-future horror novel that tests the fragility of family and the terrifying gray area between fear and love.

Story
The last time Maeve saw her cousin was the night she escaped the cult they were raised in. For the past two decades, Maeve has worked hard to build a normal life in New York City, where she keeps everything—and everyone—at a safe distance. When Andrea suddenly reappears, Maeve regains the only true friend she’s ever had. Soon she’s spending more time at Andrea’s remote Catskills estate than in her own cramped apartment. Maeve doesn’t even mind that her cousin’s wealthy work friends clearly disapprove of her single lifestyle.

It’s the mid-'90s. Grunge and flannel are fading as the Spice Girls and Hot Topic conquer the malls. Cherry gloss glistens on the lips of the youth. Modems hiss as America comes online. And in a fog-drenched cove at the edge of New England, something terrible awakens when a fisherman reels in a gruesome catch: the remains of a young woman. Remains still pulsing with furious life.

So she does what any self-respecting singleton would do: swipes right, puts on her best bra and finds herself on a first date with a handsome mountaineer called Max. What’s the worst that can happen? Well it’s pretty bad actually. First Max ghosts her and then, after weeing on a stick (but mostly her hands), a few weeks later Lil discovers she’s pregnant.

Story
After eight years together, Lil Bailey thought she’d already found ‘the one’ - that is, until he dumped her for a blonde 20-something colleague. So she does what any self-respecting singleton would do: swipes right, puts on her best bra and finds herself on a first date with a handsome mountaineer called Max. What’s the worst that can happen? Well it’s pretty bad actually. First Max ghosts her and then, after weeing on a stick (but mostly her hands), a few weeks later Lil discovers she’s pregnant.

Aliens with us
The story is bizarre but captivating. I spent many nights listening too late in the night. I started thinking it would end badly when Guy found Nina in Alfred's office. The ending was surprising. I would hope for a second book to continue where this book left off.

Entertaining enough, but dreadfully predictable
CW: FYI, this story leans heavily on spiders. Actual spiders, spider webs, spider imagery, etc. Lots of spiders.
CW: Pandemic. The J5X flu pandemic is initially a reoccurring theme, but quickly becomes backdrop. If you're hesitating to read because you don't want to relive COVID19 in a book, you'll get a break from it pretty fast.
Pros: The voice performance is phenomenal. It's very easy to listen to and the storyteller has an impressive range of accents (especially the robotic ones).
The dystopian setting clashing the sorrows poverty with garishness of wealth is well defined. Comparable with Hunger Games, in that way.
Creepy kids are satisfyingly creepy. The author does a great job with their... "psychological transitions." Some of their nonviolent actions would certainly disturb a parent reader. Overall, creepy kids are creepy, however, their predictability can become dulling. See more below.
Cons: The POVs are all practically the same person, just different struggles. Rachel, Nina and Graham are almost indistinguishable to me. They're all loving people with trauma in their past who all despise the same corporation within this dystopian world. They're each altruistic, generous, willful, resourceful and that, in my opinion, makes them boring. There's a grueling lack of diverse perspective when reading the POVs so it becomes tedious watching different encounters through the same emotional lense.
Phrases, words and descriptions repeatedly given frustrates me. I read "enormous" multiple times for the description of one house. Also, I don't need new (repeated) description of the same room that was previously described in the same chapter.
The predictability of the ending was disappointing. I saw the end coming after midpoint through the book. Very unfortunate given the premise is so brilliant. It was almost too neat, tidy. There was an attempt at a twist at the end, but it was lackluster, cheap and underwhelming.
Overall, 2.5/5.

Twisted for sure
I won this book on Goodreads for an honest review. The synopsis sounded really interesting to me so as soon as I got it I started to devour it. I could not stop till I finished it. And I have to say at the very end I was so excited to say omg no freaking way! The twist at the end is just perfection! I don't want to give away any secrets so there will be no spoilers but I will say creepy creepy if you don't like spiders don't go there and creepy. Definitely would recommend!

Great performance and overall good story
Story was fun to get lost in, just found some parts a little too predictable. Some of the characters felt too safe. But overall a good listen with a lot of fun little twist and turns.

Unique, Bizarre, and Nothing Like What I Expected
"We Hear Voices" tells the story of a family living in London in the near future, where a company has basically taken over, an insane pandemic has ravaged the world, and the children who survive the "flu" come back with dangerous imaginary friends. Rachel is the mother to three children, a daughter and son from her first husband and a daughter with her current boyfriend. When her son, Billy, gets sick, all of her focus and attention goes to keeping his room sterile and keeping him alive. On the night when she believes Billy will die, she says she will do anything, pray to any god if Billy's life is spared. Somehow, Billy lives and everybody is thrilled. At first, Billy's imaginary friend, who helped him come back from the brink of death, is seen as a blessing--his way of coping with almost dying. When things turn malignant, everyone in the family becomes worried and then terrified as it worsens.
There is a lot about space exploration that is important I didn't cover in the synopsis, but it's enough to just mention it for now. I adored this story and, even though we are in the midst of a pandemic right now (nowhere near as bad as the one in the book), I found it to be an insane story and tore through it! I could not stop with this one and I found all of the characters to be interesting and well-vetted. The only thing I would have changed is having the human bad guys be more pronounced. I think this book could've had two hundred more pages and told the same story.
I'm pretty interested to see if Ms. Green left this book open-ended or if it was set up for a sequel. That ending was plain brilliant and I could not believe what happened!
This is definitely a HORROR novel, but I would say it's pretty tame compared to a lot of other books. There's no gore and anything crazy that does happened is not described in detail, which I appreciated. I don't want to hear about someone being hurt, because some authors don't do it properly.
So, for "We Hear Voices," I'm going to give the story an A- on my grading scale; it was exciting and unlike anything I've ever read. I really liked the narrator and had no real issues with her at all, so Ms. Knowelden will receive a B+.
I can't wait to read more books by Evie Green, because I LOVED this one.

Flat
Great concept but it never really goes anywhere and is quite boring throughout. When considered as a "sci-horror" novel, it falls far short. It's mostly just a weak teenage love story.
