Historia
Sometimes, your case takes a left turn. Or three or four. Marten Mingenstern and Boog Eggstrom are provisional inspectors, fresh out of Inquisitor’s Guild training and eager to prove themselves. Assigned the mundane task of tracking down stolen jewels, they instead uncover a mysterious cult set on destroying the city. After a thief explodes, they earn the enmity of a vicious noble, the Chief Inquisitor gets bought off and goes rogue, they are seized by barbarians, and they are sentenced to death at least a couple of times.

Wonderful Epic Fantasy
Revisado: 09-02-21
When Marten and his apprentice run into sorcery while investing a jewelry theft they get thrust into an adventure they weren’t looking for. Soon they’re hot on the heels of a cult and always at death’s door. Can they put a stop to evil in time to save everyone they hold dear?
This is a wonderful epic fantasy, filled with intrigue, danger, humor, and mystery.
The narrating style was true to genre and flowed freely. If you like fantasy, you’ll love this!

Historia
The fate of empire is to crumble from within. A heinous murder in a small village reveals a terrible truth. Sorcery, once thought dead in Enhover, is not. Evidence of an occult ritual and human sacrifice proves that dark power has been called upon again. Twisting threads of clues lead across the known world to the end of a vast empire, and then, the trail returns home. Duke Oliver Wellesley, son of the king, cartographer, and adventurer, has better things to do than investigate a murder in a sleepy fishing hamlet. For crown and company, though, he goes where he’s told.

Exceptionally well written
Revisado: 08-26-20
When Duke Wellsly (possibly misspelled because this is an audiobook and I didn’t get to see it written) is assigned the task of investigating a murder, he never imagined that he would get sucked into fighting the forces of evil.
Samantha has been training for this her whole life, though she still considers herself to be ill prepared. Whether she is ready or not, she is about to be tested.
This is an epic adventure that is sure to delight all the fans of fantasy. The world building is spectacular, the supernatural aspects are complex, the backstory to the lands adds even more dimension.
Simon Vance was the perfect narrator for this.

Wow! Wow! Wow!
Revisado: 04-18-20
I didn't really know what to expect when I picked this up, but I'm sure glad I did. This book follows Mariam (spelling might be off, it was an audio book after all) first though poverty, then through money lending, then a strange arrangement with the winter fae king. Her life intertwines with the children of a local family with an abusive father, the Czarina, and a demon of summer. Can she find a way to save her human family and her new kingdom alike or will they succumb to the demon?
The narrator did an amazing job on this book; perfect pace and accents. The author's delicate balance between attention to detail, historic accuracy, character depth, and plot was a masterful dance. I will definitely be reading (listening) to more by this author!

See this tattoo across my stomach? Yeah, the one with seven crazy runes. Ignore the pink one, that's Sarah. I love her, but she's not one of my four. That was a hard lesson to learn. I've met rune #1, and he wasn't at all what I'd expected. It wasn't love at first sight. Maybe hate at first sight. Pretty sure he hates my guts. But that's okay, maybe rune #2 will bring him around. This end of the world stuff is just getting started, and I have a feeling one of my very own sins is the one stirring the pot. The Incubus King, what sin might he be? Lust...my favorite one.

Spectacular
Revisado: 04-18-20
Idi now carries the weight of a great burden, the grief of helplessness, and sorrow of self doubt as the obstacles before him seem to grow, can he grow to match them? All our favorite characters are back, and as they grow older and wiser so does our love for them.
This is an epic adventure that offers hope and redemption, with relatable and deep characters. I must say hearing the narrator describe the evil attacking the lungs of people, during these trying times (COVID19) made the story seem even closer to home. Perhaps we could all use more of this kind of story and message right now.
If you like fantasy you will love this, though I would recommend starting at the beginning of the series.

In this story we follow young Adam through a rough childhood, filled with an emotionally abusive home, horrible bullies, but also some strange things that begin to happen. We see the development of his guilt issues, his sexuality, and oh so much more!
This is an exceptionally thrilling tale that really should be movie someday, and the author very skillfully sets the tone for more! I can't wait! If you like scary reads, thrillers, or psychological thrillers, you will love this!

Self discovery unfolds
Revisado: 08-26-19
As Idi and Marcus continue on their journey, Idi is on a personal journey of discovering who he really is or was meant to be all along, with both internal and external growth, but will it be enough?
As Cassandra goes on the hunt for her missing son, we also follow Katrina’s coming of age, but time is running out and there is a war brewing.
This is the second installment in the Born to Be series and as we follow the characters discovering whom they were each born to be, the lessons on self-discovery will stay with you. I highly recommend this uplifting series to any lover of epic fantasy stories.

Revisado: 08-19-19
Idi is an orphan whose presence is at best tolerated. He’s never known love, acceptance, or praise from the villagers, but all that changes when he meets Marcus. Together they set off on a mission to find a pregnant woman told to be the mother of the new king. According to Marcus, Idi will be a great magician, but Idi has his doubts that he’d be great at anything.
Marcus has been given the task of finding Idi, mentoring him, finding the pregnant woman, and facilitate saving the world, but Idi doesn’t make it easy. Can he do it in such little time?
Ancient threats are return to earth and slaughtering people, adding more and more urgency to their quest. Will Idi come into his own in time to save this unknown child?
This is a wonderful epic fantasy that is sure to delight readers of all ages! If you’re a fan of Tolkien or Rothfuss, you’ll love this!

Azrael and Tobias made their choice, and their choice was one another. The former angel and his mortal lover denied the very laws of Heaven set before them and took to the open road to escape judgment and prying eyes. Along the way, they will find there is plenty left in the world to gaze upon in wonder and in Tobias' case, a few demons of his own to face. Their escape will turn into a journey of discovery and adventure, leading them down a path they could never have anticipated.

Revisado: 08-02-19
Azrael and Tobias are on the run from the forces of Heaven and mostly enjoying their time as Tobias introduces Azrael to human life. In effort to return the favor Azrael gently pushes Tobias into confronting a past he'd rather forget, but is Tobias ready for that? And how long can they dodge Gabriel and Raphael?
I started this series at the 2nd book but that didn't detract from it. While on it's surface this is a steamy paranormal romance, it also deals with the realities of life and overcoming past hurts. If you like PNR, you'll love this!
