About this listen
A dark ritual. Werewolves on my trail. A single chance to uncover the truth....
Cameron Blaze is my name, living on the edge is my game. Acquiring an ancient artifact? Sure, I like old stuff. Procuring a precious? I’ve got some sticky fingers right here. I will do pretty much anything to make rent, and will enjoy the hell out of the ride as I go.
When werewolves turn up in New Orleans for the first time in living memory, I was curious. When they start to disrupt my business, I was annoyed. But when they come at me? I’m ready to open a can of whoop-the-wolf, no matter the consequences.
Adding to my canine conundrum, ghosts are disappearing from the New Orleans cemeteries, and rumors of dark rituals are floating around the seedy underbelly of my city. To top it off, a powerful and mysterious relic has gone missing. A relic that, by all accounts, has the power to tear the veil that separates this world from the next to shreds.
With time running out and lives on the line, will I be able to find this ancient relic before all hell is set loose on my city?

Story
I’m Jinx. As a private investigator, being a walking, talking lie detector is a useful skill—but let’s face it, it’s not normal. You’d think it would make my job way too easy, but even with my weird skills, I still haven’t been able to track down my parent’s killers. When I’m hired to find a missing university student, I hope to find her propped up at a bar—yet my gut tells me there’s more to this case than a party girl gone wild.

Story
When a man came into my shop in the Great Marketplace at the Crossroads of the Worlds and tried to kill me, it completely ruined my day. Not only did I have to clean up the blood, but disposing of his body made me late to meet my friends for drinks. A nagging little detail kept bugging me, though. As he died, he said he was hired by my mother's family—people I hadn't seen for more than a decade. Then I discovered that assassins had made attempts on my brother and sister as well. As much as I didn't want to, I decided I should find out who wanted us dead, and put a stop to it.

Story
They called me an amplifier. And they had bred me, raised me, and trained me to be a killer with preternatural precision. I was capable of taking, holding, and transferring power that wasn’t my own with a simple touch. Skin-to-skin contact. Along with four others of my generation, I could infiltrate any magical organization, extracting whoever or whatever I’d been ordered to extricate. Then I could destroy all evidence of our passing presence. They had made me. They directed me. Controlled me. Then they tried to kill me.

It would be sheer folly to try to conceal the true nature of Althalus, for his flaws are the stuff of legend. He is, as all men know, a thief, a liar, an occasional murderer, an outrageous braggart, and a man devoid of even the slightest hint of honor. Yet of all the men in the world, it is Althalus, unrepentant rogue and scoundrel, who will become the champion of humanity in its desperate struggle against the forces of an ancient god determined to return the universe to nothingness.

When Russ Wesley finds an unusual artifact in his grandfather’s collection of rare antiquities, the last thing he expects is for it to draw the attention of a ferocious alien from a distant planet. Equally surprising is the adventurous team of intergalactic exterminators dispatched to deal with the alien threat. They’re a little wild, and a little reckless. Worse yet, they’re so impressed with Russ’s marksmanship that they insist he join their squad . . . whether he wants to or not.

My name is Nate Temple, and I’m secretly a wizard. I ride a foul-mouthed unicorn, I drink with Achilles, and I’m pals with the Four Horsemen. I’ve even cow-tipped the Minotaur. I understand the theory of following the rules...I’m just not very good at the application. Because rules were meant to be broken, and St. Louis has a bit of a supernatural infestation these days. Someone should probably be keeping an eye on these things -and probably an eye on me, too. Before I blow up another building...or three.

Interesting, New (to me) Series Starter!
This was a new to me author and I'm glad I tried this series out! The author creates an interesting world where the supernatural hide among us, from the benign to the ones who you'd best avoid at night. I liked the variety of rules and leaders that the supernaturals have come up with to avoid detection and how Cam tries to hide under the radar lest her secret get out.
The main character, Cameron, is an acquirer of things and an occasional body guard. She spends her days acquiring and her nights hanging out with her bar owning best friend. Until one day, when a job with a large payout comes up and then (almost) everything she's ever known gets thrown into chaos.
I enjoyed the found family dynamic and how Cam learns how to play well(ish) with others and learns that she can indeed rely on others to help her out. Cam and Magnus have a wonderful dynamic that I hope gets to play a part in later stories. It's a fun mystery with wonderful secondary characters. Cam really got to grow in the story, both learning about herself and learning what she really values most in her life.
There is swearing, violence (quite a bit, the whole ritual sacrifice thing going on), and no romance (hints, but it's definitely not the point of the story). At the end of the story, there is the first three chapters of the next book included, so the story is about 45ish minutes less than the total listening time. The next few books are already out and I look forward to them becoming audiobooks!!
I enjoyed the narrator! I haven't heard her narrate before and she does quite well. I'd definitely listen to another book by her again. I thought she did a wonderful job with the characters and accents. I'd definitely listen to another book by her again. I listened at 1.15x.
My review will say listener received a free copy, however than isn't quite true. I supported the author's kickstarter and an audiobook was included in the tier I picked.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
