About this listen
A shadow war rages on between man and the infamous Reaper. Will thirteen-year-old, Ian Grim, mark its end or cause an all-new devastating beginning?
Something was off about Ian. He knew it. Everybody knew it! Why else did the kids at school go about whispering behind his back and throwing him dirty looks? He was used to it by now. But everything takes a turn for the worse when his mom goes missing one night and his dad tries to kill him.
While on the run, Ian will learn the secret about his family and of the Ridirean Anam—Soul Knights who use their spirits to fight dark creatures threatening to overrun the world. Ian's journey will take him through the Passing (a place between the physical and spiritual world) to reach the Forest of Hollow. There, he will discover who he really is and of a deal made before he was born.
A deal with Death...

Finn Wager's luck has run out. Arrested for the one crime he didn't actually commit, he's forced to finish his education at an alternative school. The Revelations Institute is an upscale, private reform school with a 100 percent success rate. Delinquents go in and model citizens come out. But students who don't perform to expectations disappear. And although their bodies return model citizens, their minds are hardly their own. Something evil lurks inside Revelations, and if Finn and his new friend Hope can't find a way to stop it, they'll risk more than their lives.

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.

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!

Seriously, this book is amazing!!!
This book was so fun to listen to! I listened to it while I was working and some parts were so intriguing that I had to stop working because I didn’t want to miss anything. I think it’s a great book for young teens and up. The narrator did and amazing job as well! He made it really fun to listen to. Can’t wait for book 2!!!

Glad I found this Series
I just finished pounding the first 3 books in the Wheel of Time series when I need to take a break before jumping into another massive installment. I can across this book, and was hooked! Fun read that blends everyday life with the mythical realm. I think to often we forget about mythological that underpins our life. All in all a great new series for me to listen to.

Unique and Creative Supernatural Adventure
A Grim Awakening is a fun, creative supernatural book that offers adventure, mystery, suspense, and humor in a unique way that kept me entertained. I found myself invested in the characters wanting to protect and save them from harm. The characters grow before your eyes like they should and not just all at once. The story went along at a good pace. There are a few twists and turns that you will not see coming, and they are big, but they will explain more and drag you deeper into the plot. I highly recommend this book, but be fair warned people are not always as they seem. I received this book for free upon my request. I am voluntarily leaving my honest and unbiased review here of my own volition.
