All the Hidden Monsters
by Amie Jordan
All the Hidden Monsters follows Sage, a seemingly ordinary girl who is also a werewolf just trying to find purpose in her life. When her supernatural friend Lucy is murdered in the human realm, Sage is determined to assist in the investigation, which is headed up by warlock Oren Rinallis. Despite lacking magical abilities or immortality, Sage relies on her keen sense of right and wrong and her unique ability to scent out a killer, even as tensions rise between her and Oren, risking their own lives in the process.
This supernatural murder mystery is dual perspective, with chapters for Sage and Oren. I listened to the audiobook of All The Hidden Monsters, and Kate Dobson narrated both characters' perspectives. I really enjoyed her narration - the range of accents and intonations to distinguish the characters was great, and she heightened the tension of the murder mystery while also conveying all the emotion from the plot's twists and turns. I loved that it was set in Manchester, England, which is right next to where I live, so I loved the accents and the casual British style to it. Overall, it was such a fun and easy-to-listen-to book and it really suited the audiobook format.
I really enjoyed this supernatural murder mystery. It wasn't easy to predict, and I'm not ashamed to admit that although I normally guess the murderer, I didn't figure out this one! That final 25% of the book was amazing. Another thing I really enjoyed is that we naturally got to find out more about the supernatural world as the plot progressed rather than having a big lore-dump at the start of the book. As the first book in a series, it did a great job of introducing us to this world and to the characters, while providing a really strong mystery. I think the sequels will be even better, building up the world further, and further evolving the characters' relationships now that the core group of characters is established.
This is a great introduction to a supernatural murder mystery series, with a plot as strong as the characters, and I would definitely recommend the audiobook format! I'll definitely be listening to the future books in this series!
