A story so big, it took three books. These reminded me of Koontz's Jane Hawking books, a group whose reach is so broad that you can't trust anyone. As Karl and Dawn move from personal tragedies in THE MANY to land at the front door of the European School, their every move could cost them their lives. Binge read together to get the full effect then tell everyone you know to read them too.

I read The Many when it was first released and thought it was really good but what with all the other great books being released I forgot about it so I was really pleased to see that the trilogy has been released as one book, it's a fantastic if sometimes graphic novel of mysterious faceless men who seem to control everyone and everything but no-one will speak against them for fear of retribution. It's hard to review it without giving anything away but I would definitely recommend it.

Was a fast suspenseful read. I really enjoyed it. Kept me on the edge of my seat all the way through!

We’ve all been warned of the perils of online dating. But not quite for the reasons The Many gives us!

This trilogy, made up of The Many, Ancestral and The European School, follows Dawn and Karl, two people who are linked together by the disturbing deaths of their mother and sister respectively. Both are convinced the tragic demise of their family members has something to do with online dates they went on that irrevocably changed them. Together, the two embark on a journey to get to the root of an evil that turns out to be much bigger, and more shocking, than either of them could ever have imagined.

Overall, The Many is an easy to read trilogy with a really interesting story at its heart. The idea of a shady secret organisation pulling strings behind the scenes and committing atrocious acts seemingly without consequence is both terrifying and compelling. From page one, the story drags you in and keeps you guessing at every twist and turn along the way.

It is, in parts, gruesome, graphic, gory and disturbing. While that might not be for everyone, the themes that are closer to the bone and more visceral are necessary to illustrate just what the mysterious organisation, The Many, are capable of and the lengths they are prepared to go to in their mission.

My favourite book in the series is the first: The Many. It sets the scene perfectly and I felt invested in Karl and Dawn. I was on their side and hungry to get to the bottom of the mystery. It was pacy and interesting, each twist and turn keeping me on my toes until the very end.

For me, Ancestral, was a bit slow. The ending salvaged it somewhat, however it felt like everything that came before it was just setting the scene. While tense, at points, I didn't feel anything more for the characters. In fact, I found both of them a little frustrating at points which wasn't helped along by the slowed pace.

The European School is all about the big reveal, finding out the ‘why’ behind everything that has happened up till then. I liked the narrative jumps between characters, I felt that helped flesh them out more in my mind and keep the pace going. I also liked that this instalment renewed the mystery behind the operation. While I didn't see the ending coming, I did feel it was a little anti-climactic. In comparison to the ending of Ancestral, it all seemed to happen a bit quick, with the main focus falling on the exposition rather than the action.

I would absolutely recommend The Many trilogy to readers who enjoy psychological thrillers/horror/dystopian/conspiracy fiction. It will pique your interest and take you on a wild ride, leaving you satisfied (for the most part) come the end. While I can’t say I felt a fervour to get to the ending, I did want to understand, and this thread is what pulled me through, especially in the slower paced Ancestral.

Thank you to the author, the publisher and Netgalley for the ARC of this trilogy in exchange for an honest review.

This story gripped me right away - it’s was suspenseful and kept me guessing the whole way through.

Sometimes the pace was a bit slow, the story could have moved on a bit quicker, but it was annoyingly so.

Overall, a good read!

Three interlinked books with a disturbing and creepy plot. The first book sees Karl and Dawn pledge to gain revenge and bring down "The Many" after losing their sister and mother in horrific circumstances, both following on from an online date. Although no one believes their theory of a faceless cult infiltrating powerful establishments, they soon realise they may be fighting a losing battle. The book had a predatory feel and made me feel uncomfortable where I was meant to, due to graphically described violent and sexual exploitation scenes.

The second book sees Karl and Dawn go on the run and trying to find more information in order to bring down the disturbing cult, whilst their every move is being watched. Although the second book dragged in some places, I felt that the characters were developed in much more detail and the twist at the end made it well worth the read.

The third book sees the reasoning behind the mind controlling cult and their purpose, including the establishment of the European School. However, the sudden historical unraveling of reasons behind the cult at the very end was sudden and forced, meaning I had a number of unanswered questions once I had finished.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the story but I felt disappointed once I found out who "The Many" were and their reason for wanting to procreate.

What happens if suddenly your close person's behaviour change overnight and you don't have any clue? Even farther what if their facial expressions also change too fast? Sounds chilly, right? That's what happened with Karl Morgan and Dawn Flint. Karl's sister and Dawn's mother were going through some weird behavioural changes after a date night. It seems like something horrific (like a rape) had happened with them. Starting with a simple mystery this trilogy - The Many by Nathan Field, opens up a superbly gripping and creepy thriller when Karl and Dawn joined hands to find out these date culprits and discovered a way more strange gang members who themselves didn't know the head behind them. The mystery goes more further when Dawn were kidnapped. The last part of the trilogy gives all the answers in a superbly tight plotted ending which doesn't let you to leave this book for a second. The author did a fantastic job to create this unnerving and breathtaking atmosphere where you try to anticipate more than you know.
Though this is a very dark book and explores very gritty features of human civilization, I loved every bit of it. The plot, characterization, atmosphere - everything bemused me. I would recommend it to every thriller fan. From me, this one is surely a four star read.
It was an ARC from NetGalley and I heartily thank for it both Netgalley and Silvermac Publishing. Thanks for this amazing read.

this book was well written , characters well enveloped, very easy to read, the plot was fantastic i could not put it down, I strongly recommend this book to my friends

I received this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I finished book 1 of the trilogy, jotted down my thoughts here first.

Holy #&%#(&, this is one messed up book, I thought it was going to be a thriller, had no idea it was going to be so creepy.

I thought the story had a very interesting premise, but then, the build up was cheapened by just having the cult murdering people. If they really had so much power, why not just kill of Karl and Dawn instead of the witnesses. They seem to have the police department under their wings too, who are they and what gave them so much power? Their reasoning for doing this whole plot was not that believable to me.

Karl and Dawn also makes a lot of bone- head decisions, but what did they expect, they were just a bit older than teenagers.
