This book devours you. When a hot boy at a swanky party tells Athan to stay in the bathroom until he comes back for him, Athan doesn't expect to spend hours listening to frenzied screams and the sounds of destruction. Vikas Adam provides rich character voices and emotion that pull listeners into Athan's search for answers to the horrors of that night, as well as the disappearance of his grandmother and the fire that destroyed his family when he was a child. Athan can tap into mirror worlds, and the spidery quality that Adam's voice takes on as Athan reaches out from those worlds will haunt listeners. High society, art, cults, madness, and dark magic mix with a touch of wild romance. Sound effects and a high-octane performance don't let go. S.T.C.
