Resumen del Editor

Izzy Sage is settling into her new life despite the pall hanging over her past.

While the memories of the catastrophe that took her parents when she was a child remain elusive, she finds she’s comfortable in her new environment...even though she happens to have taken up the same position her father held when he was killed.

She’s the new death gate operator, which means she’s in control when souls are ferried to the other side. She literally controls death...and it’s not a comfortable spot to be in. Her only problem is a man...and it’s not something she thought she would be facing because romance was supposed to be off the table.

Braden Grimlock isn’t exactly known for being mature and grounded, but there’s something about Izzy that calls to him. He can’t stay away. The feeling only grows stronger when a group of deaf students tour the aquarium located on top of the death gate...and the teacher drops dead in the middle of a blackout.

Right away, Izzy senses something is wrong...other than the obvious, that is. She simply can’t figure out what sort of opponent she’s facing.

The past is about to meet the present as a long-hidden secret grabs Izzy by the throat and demands answers. There’s a malevolent spirit on the loose, and he has designs on escape from Belle Isle. The havoc he could wreak if freed is immeasurable.

It’s up to Izzy and Braden, and the rest of the Grimlocks, to figure out what’s happening and stop a horrifically determined ghost from claiming an innocent life. It’s going to take all of them working together...and if a little romance gums up the works, they’re simply going to have to deal with that, too.

Izzy is a powerful Bruja. Even she might not be strong enough to face the horror of what’s to come, though.

Loved It!

Love this book so much. I love Izzy and am especially happy that we also get to keep up with the Grimlocks

Great story awful narration of Grimlock characters

I love the story and the narration of new characters is great however I hate the way she narrates the Grimlock characters. Braedon sounds like a teenager. Aiden sounds depressed. I don’t even know how to explain how jerry sounds.

Great Series

Must do the Grimlocks first and then this series. I have listened twice. Recommend as escape reading.

I only the Quiet

I love this new series ! I grew up in the burbs of Detroit 💟

Just keeps getting better and better

Just as fun as the first book but a bit more on the darker side. Cannot wait to start the 3rd book going to go purchase right now, great series can't wait to see what happens next for Izzy!!

enjoyed story, just not narration

given that many of the characters come from the prior Aisling Grimlock series, the dramatic shift in how the characters are read is annoying. the narrator didn't seem to put any effort into trying to keep them consistent

Love the Grimlock family

Amanda M Lee does it again. Love anything with the Grimlock family! Can't wait for the next book in the series.

Ghost and gate magic

Again as a resident of Detroit I enjoy the series location. As a cyclist I have rode endless miles around Belle Isle. I find that Izzy slightly arrogant. How can a young woman who has never had kids nor “mother” younger siblings have so much to say about baby Lily? And the Grimlocks give her advice such weight.

I was horrified that Izzy thought it was ok to read the mind of a 3-week-old baby! When Izzy was holding Lily and pretends to give her to someone that is upset Lily fusses. Of course, she would pickup on the agitation of that person. So 5 adults and a nanny who have been in constant contact with Lily could not have come to that conclusion. That is a no brainier and I was insulted the Grimlocks were made to look so stupid. Now out there in the writer’s ether will be the possibility that Lily will be an empath.

Izzy came on the scene determined to be the best gate keeper. She has been on the job 3 weeks and had no idea there were cameras. Shouldn’t that had be in the closing/opening of the building; check to see that the cameras are working.

She spends and inordinate amount of time with meals at the Grimlocks that she neglects her regular duties. It was 3 weeks ago they lost an employee. Until Cormack put his foot down, Izzy was going to delay hiring a person another month. Wow, how to feel small when your boyfriend’s father, who is your boss told you no dinner/date plans until you select a new hire. More astounding is that Oliver had dwindled the stack of applicants down to 5 people.

I love the Grimlocks and in a few places there were a few chuckles, but my god, Amanda Lee, the author made them sound so whiny and immature and only Izzy could sort them out. It should be sacrilegious to besmirch the Grimlocks reputation. If you follow the Grimlocks, you will enjoy a big drop-dead fight like we have not had in a while between Asling and Angelina.

For most of this story Izzy is traveling back and forth between work and the Grimlocks with an occasional visit to her aunt’s place. Nothing bruja or magical happens until the end. Amanda Lee has not quite got the hang of featuring Izzy’s bruja magic. So when she works magic a skull is superimposed on her face. I have also read the Mystic Carvan Series and Poet, who is of Romania descent, can accomplish similar feats. Give me something bruja specific.

Think of Jerry when I say this but, Hellooo. Corman Grimlock walks around with a business card for a therapist in his pocket ready to hand out to the crazy Angelina. Really?

I love the Grimlocks. It seems I must become a fan of Izzy’s to vicariously get my Grimlock fix. I will read the next gate grim reaper. We do have a wedding coming up and I hope that will be featured in the next book.

💞

i’m really glad i decided to listen to this series again=) there are so many things i’d forgotten! intriguing storyline, laughs, love, and a great narrator~ it’s all within these ‘pages’…
💗💗💗

Amanda's Awesome!

You can bet that Amanda M Lee is a writer that is always worth your time and credits. Every story keeps you entertained to the end.
I still enjoyed this audio and could not turn it off even when I felt the narrator's voices made the most of the charaters sound like whiney children. I know hard work is put into these audios and I try to bring the good points to light, I regretfully can not with this narrator. That's why I know MS. Lee's writing is in the High Awesome Range. I still can't wait for next release regardless.
