About this listen
Paxton got the crap kicked out of him while foiling his mother’s plans. Even that isn’t enough to keep him in one place. Mother is still on the loose, after all, and there’s no telling what that evil witch is up to. With his new partner (don’t call her a sidekick!) Cassie, Paxton heads to Arizona to help an old police friend with a supernatural murder problem.
But mother isn’t content to lay low now that she’s out of jail. She’s got a brand new coven, and she wants her grimoire back. Now. Nothing will stop her from getting her spell book back, not even her son. Or the ancient stirring in its sleep in the Valley of the Sun.
Paxton’s faced witches, ghosts, and shadow demons, but can he handle an ancient god? With the lives of two young boys hanging in the balance, he can’t back down.
Daniel Humphreys continues the Paxton Locke series out in the desert, taking all the magic, intrigue, and adventure from the first book and turning it up. Listeners will love the return of old characters and the new additions as Paxton continues his supernatural road trip.
Find out if Paxton can save the day and face his mother again. Listen to Night’s Black Agents today!

Story
Family drama is bad enough without adding magic and human sacrifice. Ten years ago, Paxton Locke's mother killed his father in a mysterious ritual that - thankfully - went incomplete. Now, Paxton makes his living as a roving paranormal investigator, banishing spirits while Mother languishes in jail. When a terrified ghost warns him of a dangerous, newly freed entity, Paxton faces a fight far beyond simple exorcism. In a battle for his very soul, will he be able to endure - or simply fade away?

Story
Kris Chambers is a nobody. A 24-year-old man with a dead-end job and no prospects—and, to top it off, a heart condition that forever keeps him on his toes—he spends his life trapped between apathy, self-doubt, and mortal fear. As he walks down an unfamiliar alleyway, he stumbles upon the lifeless body of a stranger. Unbeknownst to him, this grisly discovery marks the beginning of an entirely new chapter in his life. Upon mysteriously awakening in the hospital, he learns that his heart now functions flawlessly, and he feels… different.

Story
Samantha Sinclair's midlife can be summed up in one word—trapped. Trapped by Multiple Sclerosis. Trapped by an abusive husband. Trapped until her son breaks the vicious cycle and whisks her away to a bed and breakfast on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The only problem? It puts her in the path of the only man she ever wanted. Damien rejected her years ago and Sam's never recovered from the heartache. Combined with the quirky and nosy oddballs in the fifty and up waterfront community, the B&B isn't the ideal place to lay low.

Story
My name is Kazimir Wolfe. People call me "Kaz", except they don’t. I never use my real name; it’s too dangerous, for me and for anyone I meet. I’m on the run from the law, who think I killed my aunt, and from whoever did kill her, because they want to finish the job. So, I move around a lot, working construction or whatever job I can find. It’s a lonely life. I don’t let anyone get close...people who get close to me end up dead. Why? I’m a wizard. The world’s only wizard, as far as I know.

Cocky vampires, mythical swords, steady Glocks, and ghost hordes. Welcome to my world. The vampires just woke up from a 1000-year slumber. Before nap-time they buried their fortunes around the world. Now they want their hidden treasures back. It's my job to get to the relics first. My partner Rebel and I need to track down and dig up hundreds of ancient items, and fast. They're worth, well, whatever comes after quadrillions. Most of them also happen to pack nasty supernatural powers. Our latest target is a sword with the power to destroy the world.

Story
It's a very straightforward detective story! Well, one where the detective lives in a post-apocalypse fantasy setting where there are orcs rampaging in the eastern desert, evil sorcerers lurking in their towers to the north, and adventurers looting and exploring the post-American ruins. But they all come to Cin City: Cinderella, the capital of the Kingdom of New California. Maybe it's because of the glitter. Maybe it's because of the giant iceberg in the middle of the Gulf of California. And maybe it's because they got nowhere else to go.

Ghosts of my!
This was a great listen. No Surprise that Paxton's mom broke out of prison. I really like this narrators style. It makes the story flow seamlessly. I was given a free copy of this audio book, and I leave this review of my own freewill.

Fans of Dresden files and urban fantasy will be thrilled
A great urban fantasy series. Myths magic and grit a plenty. Paxton Locke and his partner are against his mother and her coven to save life as we know it. J Scott Bennett does a phenomenal job bringing Humphreys characters to life. The writing and narration is spot on and truly brings you into the story. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator or publisher

Again a fun spooky book but not for kids
Just like fade, it is a good book, well written, but gross at times and not for the “faint-hearted” tea time readers. There are curse words, there’re are graphic descriptions of gross things, there is gore. But if you can handle that, it is a fun engaging read and the story draws you in.

Excellent and Interesting Story
This is the second installment of the continuing story of Paxton Locke, a young man with some extraordinary magical abilities who tries to help others, while trying to foil his evil-witch mother, Helen Locke, a long the way.
The storyline is, as with Book One, very original, inventive and engaging. The characters are very well drawn and interesting. I did not want to stop listening to this installment of well drawn and fascinating world the author has created.
Summary: Helen is now on the loose with a trio of co-ed protégés and they are looking for Paxton and the book of spells that once belonged to her, wreaking havoc along the way. Meanwhile Paxton, and his fledgling love interest Cassie, are helping one of his oldest friends and mentor track down the evil behind a number of ritualistic Phoenix-based murders and the kidnapping of two young boys.
The story expertly moves between Helen, Paxton and the Division M (think Men in Black) agents point of view, building up to a satisfying ending.
The Voice Actor reading this story, J. Scott Bennet, is truly outstanding, easily inhabiting the various characters and making the story even more engaging and enjoyable.
I cannot wait for the next adventure and highly recommend this series to anyone liking fantasy-adventures - it will not disappoint.

For the second time in as many days I was completely enraptured in the story. The character development is good and the story details are inviting. It almost makes you feel like you can see the story playing out in front of you. I cannot wait for the third book!
