Summary
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?
The world will soon find out.

Interesting if occasionally hard to follow start
Overall I enjoyed this book, the setting and themes are familiar but also slightly different(Monsters have been among us for ages then have to reveal themselves).
The main strength of the book is in its characters and reasonably wide selection of different people from different backgrounds all dealing with the mundane and magical in their own ways.
I thought the general themes of identity and civil rights were very well done and fit the narrative very well, certainly not preachy as some have said(I'm not entirely sure including some scenes and themes around race gender etc constitutes being called preachy).
looking forward to seeing where the next book goes.
I'd go with a solid 7/10

Utterly disappointing.
Focus group crafted characters and settings. Awful, draining long sections of utterly mundane monotony interspersed with incoherent episodes of violence and cosmic space opera. Truly terrible waste of time. The reader is lethargic and excruciatingly faltering.

Ok, what was that all about?
First off, I did like 'The Lesson', this not so much.
There are quite a few characters and this wouldn't really be a problem if the narrator could do more than one or two different voices for them all. There is another version of this book on Audible with a different narrator, maybe I'd enjoy that a tad more.
But the book is so damn lacklustre and I just didn't give a hoot for any of the people in it, I did finish it but I wouldn't be tempted to read the sequel to find out what the hell is going on.
By all means give it a read yourself while it's still free but I am so glad I didn't spend a credit on it, as it was on my list of books to read.😬
