About this listen
THE EYES ARE THE WINDOW TO THE SOUL
Ace Shades lives in an edgy, over-the-top action movie. He is the uncompromising protagonist: A self-proclaimed detective who wears sunglasses at all times, even at night or in the shower. In fact, he wears nothing but black: A black trench coat, black pants, and a black pair of Chuck Taylor Allstars. Black is the color of his soul looking back at him, repeating to him the question: “Why do I exist, and what is my purpose?”
His girlfriend’s a piano, his friends aren’t all there, and the world, according to how he sees it, is an absurdly dark and unfriendly place. But things are changing within the detective. Perhaps it’s the case, or perhaps it’s something else tied to the case. But the closer he gets to the truth, the more he can see the cracks within his own existence. And he’s close to discovering it: The truth hidden long ago, keeping his world held together.
But what is “truth,” and how do you find it? And is there even such a thing?
THERE IS MORE TO THE STORY (SINCE WHEN IS THERE NOT?)
In a quaint, rural town in northern Tennessee, self-proclaimed detective Ace Shades investigates a series of ongoing murders, somehow related to his dark, mysterious past—a past so dark and mysterious that even he doesn’t remember any of it. With the help of his colleagues, who are just as unreliable as he is, they uncover a conspiracy, involving a threat unlike any other before it—or at least any other threat they had faced before, assuming they had faced any other threat at all.
But the world is never so simple, and the truth is never black and white.

Story
Life was barely manageable after my mom was murdered three years ago. I wasn’t sure what my purpose was anymore. But then on my 21st birthday, I drank a little too much and fell from the roof of my nine-story apartment building. I died. Then...I un-died. Enter Hayden, my really bossy (and hot) guardian angel whose duty is to train me to be the next “Soldier of Light.” I’m pretty sure I’m the wrong person for this job, despite what Hayden thinks. Guess I’m stuck saving the dead.

Alexander Grant is a little too good at a few too many things. Two dozen martial arts. Twice that many languages. Chess, the piano, sports, forging excused absences, you name it. He graduated high school top of his class 17 times. Of course, no one knows any of this. Not that he wants to go unnoticed. It’s just safer that way.

My name is Quinn MacKenna, and magic doesn’t work on me. When I’m not getting roped into bar brawls in Boston, I’m usually acquiring - stealing is a form of acquisition, you know - dangerous magical artifacts to turn around and sell them to the highest bidders. But I prefer to be paid in favors, not money. Because favors are a hot commodity in the Land of the Fae. Favors are the only currency that will buy the answers I seek: Why magic doesn’t work on me, and who my real father is.

Numbers are her world, her obsession, her everything. All she understands, she does so through the power of math. Roger and Dodger aren’t exactly human, though they don’t realize it.

Not quite. But he has a plan.

Story
From the pulpy pages of Black Mask Magazine in the 1920s and '30s, through the film noir era of the 1940s, to today, noir fiction has lured many a reader and movie-goer away from the light and into the dark underbelly of society. Names such as Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett, and James M. Cain; titles like The Big Sleep, The Maltese Falcon, The Postman Always Rings Twice...these have inhabited our collective consciousness for decades. Humanity, it seems, loves the dark. And within the dark, one figure stands out: that of the femme fatale.

Theodore Lee is THE author to look out for. His characters are quirky and unique with a depth to them that gets more layered the further in you go. Humor is prominent in the story and Justin Mills does a great job in bringing the narration to life. So much so that I’d catch myself randomly laughing really loud (to any random stranger’s confusion). I found this book a complete mind bending joy.
Get this book. It’s seriously one of my all time favorites now.
