”Secrets followed Lockwood about like the flapping of his coat, and it was nice to be close enough to feel them brush against me too.”

The Hollow Boy Audiobook is the third novel in Jonathan Stroud’s superior urban fantasy series for young adults – Lockwood & Co..

Danger abounds, tensions escalate, and new loyalties form in this third delightfully terrifying adventure in the critically acclaimed Lockwood & Co. series.

Plot Summary

As a massive outbreak of supernatural visitors baffles Scotland Yard and causes protests throughout London, Lockwood & Co. continue to demonstrate their effectiveness in exterminating spirits. Anthony Lockwood is dashing, George insightful, and Lucy dynamic, while the skull in the jar utters sardonic advice from the sidelines. There is a new spirit of openness in the team now that Lockwood has shared some of his childhood secrets, and Lucy is feeling more and more as if her true home is at Portland Row. It comes as a great shock, then, when Lockwood and George introduce her to an annoyingly perky and hyperefficient new assistant, Holly Munro.

Meanwhile, there are reports of many new hauntings, including a house where bloody footprints are appearing and a department store full of strange sounds and shadowy figures. But ghosts seem to be the least of Lockwood & Co.’s concerns when assassins attack during a carnival in the center of the city. Can the team get past their personal issues to save the day on all fronts, or will bad feelings attract yet more trouble?

Audiobook Reviews

I think The Hollow Boy Audiobook Mp3 is the best audiobook in this series. Overall the story had good momentum, lots of unpredictable moments, it has really scary parts where it’s difficult to figure out what’s happening (always good in a mystery), the supernatural elements are amped up (in a good way) and really add to the story and suspense.

It was nice to see different factions working together but in some ways not enough character development on key people outside the group to be invested in them or their contributions.

The humor found within is perfect, it is used sparingly and strikes with rapier-like accuracy. The preceding book introduced a new ‘character’, the titular Whispering Skull, and as much as I like Lockwood, George and Lucy, the skull is now far and away from my favorite, being by turns acerbic, witty, mischievous, wicked and generally wonderful. I think many other readers will find the skull a real highlight of the novel.

Highly recommended! Ms. Bevan’s narration has been the best of the three audiobooks and was thoroughly enjoyable. She is able to convey subtle nuances with her lovely voice, and it is very much appreciated. I listen to while cooking, and never got lost or had to re-wind. She elevated the story.

The Whispering Skull Audiobook is a young adult thriller novel by Jonathan Stroud. It is the second audiobook in the Lockwood & Co. series.

If you’re looking for a fun, spooky and fast-paced series that involves ghosts and other paranormal topics, you might really like this story.

Plot Summary

In the six months since Anthony, Lucy, and George survived a night in the most haunted house in England, Lockwood and Co. hasn’t made much progress. Quill Kipps and his team of Fittes agents keep swooping in on Lockwood’s investigations. Finally, in a fit of anger, Anthony challenges his rival to a contest: the next time the two agencies compete on a job, the losing side will have to admit defeat in the Times newspaper.

Things look up when a new client, Mr. Saunders, hires Lockwood and Co. to be present at the excavation of Edmund Bickerstaff, a Victorian doctor who reportedly tried to communicate with the dead. Saunders needs the coffin sealed with silver to prevent any supernatural trouble. All goes well – until George’s curiosity attracts a horrible phantom.

Back home at Portland Row, Lockwood accuses George of making too many careless mistakes. Lucy is distracted by urgent whispers coming from the skull in the ghost jar. Then the team is summoned to DEPRAC headquarters. Kipps is there too, much to Lockwood’s annoyance. Bickerstaff’s coffin was raided and a strange glass object buried with the corpse has vanished. Inspector Barnes believes the relic to be highly dangerous, and he wants it found.

Audiobook Reviews

Story: This story is the perfect bedtime audiobook for kids who live for the scary stuff and for parents who worry that R. L. Stine is going to rot their little zombie-lovers’ brains.

The characters, the plot twist, The Whispering Skull Audiobook Mp3 is just so incredible, hilarious and everything I need in life. I love George, Lucy, and Lockwood more than I love myself and that probably sounds really sad lmao. I’m incapable of writing a review bc honestly I don’t know how-to for this. All you need to know that this series is perfection.

The Narrator: The narrator for this one is different from the first book, but she does an excellent job. Katie Lyons smoothly takes the reigns in Stroud’s second ghost-detecting escapade. Psychic agents Lockwood, George, and Lucy are challenged by rival agents, a deadly mystical mirror, and a spirit trapped in a jar. Their investigation has no shortage of creepy moments, and Lyons meets each one head-on, eliciting shivers from listeners.

Lyons is skilled at maintaining a breakneck pace while also capturing the group dynamic – Lucy’s no-nonsense narrative, George’s snarky comments, and Lockwood’s cool and confident exterior.

The Screaming Staircase Audiobook is a middle-grade thriller novel by Jonathan Stroud. It is the first book in a series titled Lockwood & Co. series.

The story follows Lucy Carlyle and the agency of Lockwood & Co. The agency is run and led by Anthony Lockwood and has only one other member prior to Lucy’s joining: a boy named George Cubbins. Using their different skills and “talents”, they investigate and solve hauntings. As the series progresses, deeper mysteries unravel about the truths behind the ghosts and the Problem.

Listeners who enjoyed the action, suspense, and humor in Jonathan Stroud’s internationally best-selling Bartimaeus books will be delighted to find the same ingredients, combined with deliciously creepy scares, in his thrilling and chilling Lockwood & Co. series.

Plot Summary

When the dead come back to haunt the living, Lockwood & Co. step in….

For more than fifty years, the country has been affected by a horrifying epidemic of ghosts. A number of Psychic Investigations Agencies have sprung up to destroy the dangerous apparitions.

Lucy Carlyle, a talented young agent, arrives in London hoping for a notable career. Instead, she finds herself joining the smallest most ramshackle agency in the city, run by the charismatic Anthony Lockwood.

When one of their cases goes horribly wrong, Lockwood & Co. have one last chance of redemption. Unfortunately, this involves spending the night in one of the most haunted houses in England, and trying to escape alive

Audiobook Reviews

The Screaming Staircase Audiobook Mp3 will keep you reading late into the night, but you’ll want to leave the lights on. Stroud is a genius at inventing an utterly believable world which is very much like ours, but so creepily different.

The characters were quite well done, I thought, and so was the plot. Where this book really shines, though, is the setting – Stroud’s land of malevolent spirits is rich and well-planned and masterfully painted. The descriptions of the ghosts and the dangers the characters faced were vivid. I was sucked into this baleful world expertly enough that I could almost feel the chill the specters were emitting.

Very recommended this audiobook very highly – it is ideal for fans of Jonathan Stroud’s existing work and also those who have enjoyed Joseph Delaney’s Spooks series.
