Grace is a single mother whose life revolves around her eight-year-old son, Finn. All she wants is to keep him safe and happy. She indulges his latest passion for playing Pokémon Go, stepping out of her comfort zone and into the local community, where Finn strikes up a conversation with a stranger. Can they find the fine balance between stranger danger and being polite? Will Finn finally catch an Onix? And will Grace let herself be caught?

A Nice Quirky Read
My Review of Catching Onix by Renee Conoulty.
Catching Onix is a sweet little story that invites readers into the world of Grace and her son Jake. I liked how the author introduces a lot of cute moments between these two characters and show that although Grace’s life has not been simple; she is making the best of it with Jake. I liked the mystery that is placed into this short story, For me, it was just enough to enjoy and want to know the end.
I also liked that this story in some way challenges your thoughts of strangers and whether a man in a car near a children park can be anything less than a predator or is he just someone enjoying the day. I think Grace’s thoughts in those moments are what we all think at times and I found as the story progressed that it has an air of challenging perceptions.
The story itself is about Grace and her son Jake as they go on little adventures to catch Pokémon together. But when Grace sees a strange car parked near the playground she instantly worries, is the person behind the tinted window friend or foe? You’ll have to listen to this short story to find out.
This is a great Audible book for if you only have an hour to unwind and want to lay and listen to a story that is not only cute, a little funny and has a little romance side, but also has you reminiscing about Pokémon.
I also thought the narration of the Catching Onix was really well-spoken and nice to listen to. I would recommend this to anyone who likes short and Quirky stories with well-defined characters

A hidden gem
This was the perfect short read which also appealed to my inner child! Also mums with kids will relate and enjoy this read, as the mother and child characters were relatable and the setting was the everyday modern world.
I gravitate towards authors who narrate their own stories and Renee Conoulty has done a great job at performing convincing characters.
I think this author is a hidden gem soon to be revealed to the world!

Sweet Romance
Catching Onix by Renee Conoulty is a sweet romance novelette that I listened to on audio narrated by Renee Conoulty. This is the second book of Renee’s that I have read and it definitely won’t be my last. Her stories are sweet and heartwarming.
