Fitz is a normal kid who plays in a band with his friends. Everything seems to be fine until his friend Cassie begins hearing an odd noise. Shortly after that, she goes missing.

This book wasn't bad. However, it also wasn't good. I found the writing to be very slow. It is not only slow but difficult to read for quite a few pages. The plot was interesting. That was probably the only thing I found enjoyable.

I would like to thank NetGalley, Sterling Publishing, and Marcus Sedgwick for the opportunity to read this digital ARC!

I thought this was just okay. Despite an interesting premise and opening chapter, the story felt choppy and lacked the suspense that the synopsis seems to hint at. I didn't feel particularly attached to the characters either.

This book covers quite a few topics but not always in an effective way. For instance, it raises good points about environmentalism but also borders on preachy at times. The Hum was interesting though; I had no idea it really existed.

There are references to lockdown and I appreciate the book exploring how people cope/react to it. However, I didn't care to read about the characters breaking the law and breaching safety measures.

Overall, a quick and rather forgettable tale.
