About this listen
Kathryn Bek gets the chance of a lifetime: a job offer right out of college, and in New York City, where adventure lies around every corner.
Believing she is recruited for her marketing prowess, she is excited by the prospect of her new job in the intelligence sector; but all is not what it seems. Before long, Kathryn and her new team are thrown into a world of mystery, murder, and magic. As the team rushes around the world, untangling the web of lies, she finds that her past may be the key to protecting her, and the world's, future. Will she be able to confront her fuzzy past to unlock the secrets within herself? Can her team rise to the challenge and stop the Paolucci Crime Family before they unleash havoc upon the globe? Who will endure, the Kathryn of the past, or that of the future?
Praesidium can simply be described as "Good people with mad skills working to bring hope to a dark world."

Action Adventure good for ages 16 - 60!
This book came out in the summertime and I really enjoyed it. I was excited to find out the audiobook was available, and the story did not disappoint. For me, who is not an avid audiobook listener, it took me a while to get captivated through listening but I eventually got to that point and my imagination took off. I cannot wait to read book two from this author, which is due to come out in July 2023. I enjoyed the intermingling of the action with personal perspective and the idea that there is a thread of hope running throughout the universe. Thank you McKinley Aspen.

Didn’t finish
It was just slow with the threat of putting me to sleep. I got up to chapter 10 but decided not to waste my time anymore. There was a hint of a mystery but primarily seemed to deal with relationships and introspection. It may have gotten better later but I wasn’t interested enough to find out.
