Acerca de esta escucha

In my world, magic is an everyday thing.

It's on street corners; it's in our schools; our homes, and even our governments. Magic carpets share the sky with jets, international boxing shares air time with magical duelists. It's a whole mess, but nobody consulted me before outing every mage on the planet.

My twin brother is a Wizard and thinks he's the only magician in the family. It's actually a little funny that he hasn't suspected anything different over the last 17 years - with my constantly need to keep his idiot face out of danger and stupidity - but that's not today's problem. You see, someone's trying to kill him.

It started off with a shadow monster that was all but immune to my magic attacking him at school, and it went steadily downhill from there, meandering through an encounter with a succubus - a species I was told categorically didn't exist anymore - to nearly getting abducted by murderous homeless men and blasted by the government's anti-magic police. And that was just Monday!

Now, I'm trying to help the idiot while also doing my level best to keep him from finding out about my own powers (which are frankly so sinister that I was terrified of my own shadow for the first decade of my life). I have to make sure, in my blundering about, trying to solve a mystery that I can't trust the Supernatural Crimes Authority to investigate correctly, that I don't draw the attention of the people with horrific monsters at their beck and call. Family can be such a pain....

Great book!

I was pleasantly surprised by this book and I'm excited to see where this series goes. Definitely deserves more attention and reviews.

Super compelling and fun read!

The narrator of the book, Kevin Kemp, was incredibly compelling. I enjoyed every bit of snarky inflection, the clearly defined characters, and how his tone brought all the emotion and action to life.

Some of the delivery gave me David Tennant as The Doctor vibes when he was hedging what he was saying (“Weeeeell…”).

Can’t wait to see more from the author, HDA Roberts, and the narrator, Kevin Kemp.

Enjoyed! Different take on magic

This book was enjoyable. No constant defeat. Subtle underdog using his intelligence. Didn’t disappoint. Look forward to the next book.

Could have been a lot better.

It was entertaining but the main character is just so silly. He’s supposedly smart but trusts easily and puts himself into stupid situations. He even goes to the government of all people after committing several crimes lol. It’s all just forgiven. Just nonsense. This could have been so much better if the main character was actually clever. Just another stupid genius.

Meets and exceeds expectations!

I've read all of the series to date and love all of them. I know that the 1st book needed a lot of editing and was worried if that would change the flow of the audible. Thankfully it did not.

Kevin Kemp was the perfect choice for this book! He definitely captured Matty's personality and brings this fun story to life. Reading the books, I got the feeling that Matty was telling the listener his own story. Kemp definitely seems to have latched onto that somewhat unique writing style. Listening to this, I can imagine myself sitting in a sunny, comfy room as Matty re-lives these crazy days.

HDA Roberts, thank you for this amazing series! I truly look forward to hearing book 2!

Is very much YA book.

While there are adult themes in this book it is a young adult book. I would say this is an age range between 13 and 17. Much like Harry Potter this is a mystery book with a magic theme. The characters are not very deep but the story is good for the reading level. The magic system is very much soft magic. There are very few rules in regards to how magic can be used. And often you'll find that the main character just knows how to do magic to get himself out of a situation. Well that can be off putting in some books, it is not so off putting in this book given the fact that this is very much a young adult book.

The story is about a twin. One twin is born to the light magic and the other twin is born to the shadow magic. Most of this book will revolve around the twin who is focused within the shadow magic. In the book he hides his magic from the world for varying reasons. And you spend the book essentially following him as he is more or less forced forced to show others that he has this magic. The main character is a likable character and tries to do good things.

Thoroughly Enjoyable

It's hard to point to a single element and say "that's what makes this book better than MANY others I've listened to this year". The characters are likable. The antagonists vary greatly and some are fascinating. It was hard for me to put down. I can't wait to start the next one.

simply Amazing!

I enjoy a strong protagonist who also uses his brain. I also really like his motivations they're not "save the world" like most of these, just keeping himself and his family safe. The world building is really great too!
