"Riveting...[A] tender, ferocious book."â??New York Times

"Beautifully fantastical."â??NPR

"Masterful."â??Chicago Tribune

One October morning, Laina gets the news that her brother has been shot and killed by Boston cops. But what looks like a case of police brutality soon reveals something much stranger. Monsters are real. And they want everyone to know it.

As creatures from myth and legend come out of the shadows, seeking safety through visibility, their emergence sets off a chain of seemingly unrelated events. Members of a local werewolf pack are threatened into silence. A professor follows a missing friend's trail of bread crumbs to a mysterious secret society. And a young boy with unique abilities seeks refuge in a pro-monster organization with secrets of its own. Meanwhile, more people start disappearing, suicides and hate crimes increase, and protests erupt globally, both for and against the monsters.

At the center is a mystery no one thinks to ask: Why now? What has frightened the monsters out of the dark?

I really liked this literary urban fantasy and can't wait for the next book. The smart writing style reminded me of Rumaan Alam's [b:Leave the World Behind|50358031|Leave the World Behind|Rumaan Alam|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1583735183l/50358031._SY75_.jpg|75306723] but with more action and resolution.

I like these kind of stories that mix the supernatural with our ordinary world.
I enjoyed reading this book. ( )

a fantastic twist on monster lore, Cadwell has incredible voice and knows how to tell a compelling story. I look forward to the next installment in this series. ( )

An urban fantasy in which monsters such as shapeshifters and magic users are revealed to be living among us via viral video, set mainly around Boston, Massachusetts, but also in St. Thomas and the prologue near where I live (hello, Cameron Village). What I liked: complex, multilayered plot involving conspiracies, secret organizations, and the multiverse; relatable and distinct characters, especially a trans character who did not feel like a checked box; makes points about oppression and human rights without being didactic or heavy-handed. This is *not* the X-Men. What I didn't like: characters' emotions are sometimes unnecessarily overexplained; I knew this was the first part of a series going in, but I hoped it would still stand alone--nope, it is clearly a part one; the multiverse aspect particularly is pretty vague.

Note: Some of the reviews call this a series of vignettes, but I don't see that. It's a novel. It progresses linearly and builds on itself. You couldn't read any of the chapters as standalone stories. ( )

I picked this up from the Library thinking it might be a snarky look at magic users as allegory. And I'm not sure what to think. There isn't a plot - more like a series of connected glimpses into the life of those in the world of magic, and those coming to terms with it.

I'm still thinking about. As allegory for coming out and fighting for what is right - the conversations about timing, presentation within the community is spot on. If people could die as part of a protest, should you do. But if you don't, will you ever be equal?

As a story, some parts are better than others. For example, I'm not sure what the story of the child named "Dragon" was suppose to add. But for the most part, its a book that successfully pulls all the parts from different perspectives together, while showing a reader what it takes to make a push for equality. ( )

Tanya meets me at our usual spot in Cameron Village, and we sit outside under a partio umbrella, the North Carolina heat cooling to a low simmer in the setting sun.
