Story
Izzy Sage is a woman on a mission. She’s determined to find the creatures wearing her parents’ faces...and end them. Unfortunately, the trouble bubbling up on Belle Isle has to take precedence, especially when violence lands in her backyard. A prison van is involved in a wreck in downtown Detroit, allowing 50 high-risk inmates to escape. Several of them make a beeline straight for the island - there are boats to steal for escape after all - and Izzy manages to take them out without much trouble. That’s only the start, however.

Stormy “Breeze” Morgan was living the high life until her dreams came crashing down around her and she lost her book contract. With nothing left to do—and no money in her bank account—she’s forced to return to the family business, a diner in Northern Lower Michigan. Stormy never thought she would have to work with her family again, and it’s just as horrific as she expected. Things only get worse when, after a night of drinking with her cousin, a family Ouija board leads to a burst of magic and Stormy wakes floating over her bed the next morning.

Publisher's Summary
When she came to Detroit, Isabella “Izzy” Sage was looking for answers about the death of her parents, who were killed while doing the very job she’s about to take on: managing the death gate - a border between the living and the dead, located on Belle Isle. What she found was a sense of family, a little romance, and a whole lot of adventure.
Join Izzy and her new friends, the Grimlocks, as they tackle a myriad of monsters and search for the truth about what happened to Izzy’s parents when something terrible crossed over from another world and upended Izzy’s life, when she was just a child. The laughter, love, and danger are nonstop.
This omnibus includes the first three titles in the Death Gate supernatural thriller series: Only the Lonely, Only the Quiet, and Only the Lost.

Definitely not for me
I like this author but the Grimlocks aren't my thing. Aisling is a diva and I really, thoroughly dislike this character, Izzy. The narration wasn't great either for male voices. I would return this but contrary to Audible's program it's 'not eligible' for return.

Not for me
The Grimlock magic does not transfer to this series. I bought this set because I enjoyed the first Grimlock series and wanted to give this new series a try. However, the new characters aren't very interesting and I can't get into the story.

Ashling Ashling Ashling!!!
Love the weirdness and the characters. I want an omelet bar and an ice cream bar!!! The only reason I gave 4 stars for performance instead of 5 is because Aisling is pronounced Ashling. In Only The Lonely Aisling's name is in almost every third sentence.AAAAGGGGGHHH. Sorry, I'm okay now.

Can’t stand the performance.
I suffered through the first story, cringed through the second, and skipped through the third. This narrator does not do male voices well. Brayden sounds like a prepubescent boy. The stories rely too heavily on the Grimlocks. It just didn’t hold my interest. I tried going back a few times but instead of being different and “campy” it came across as pre-teen. Maybe all these books are getting too formulaic. Same personalities different names, plots resemble one another, and it’s too much of the same thing.

I can’t listen anymore
Like others I was pulled in by the cover art “amazing “ however this series sucks hard. I made it through the first book hoping the writing and dialogue would get better but it did not. The story line when it was about the gimmick family was ok. But the books just went on and on about this family. The daughter is horrific. An adult acting as if she is the bratty 12 year old. The father who thinks it is ok for her to act this way while she is married and has a baby. No one willing to tell her to grow the F up. And why does the author feel the need to spell everything out for the reader? What are we 4.

Delightful
If you loved the Grimlock series you will love this one as well. I was so sad when I finish the Grimlock series, and so excited when I started this series and discovered they were prime characters. The new characters are fun and the stories are engaging. If you love this authors other work you will love this as well.
