About this listen
Balance of the Ancients
In the heart of modern-day New York City, Alex, a young professional, finds himself entangled in a web of ancestral spirits, forbidden rituals, and long-forgotten tales. When unusual occurrences begin to disrupt his daily life, he embarks on a journey that takes him far from the skyscrapers of the metropolis to an ancient excavation site. Here, amid the whispers of a lost tribe with the power to bridge our world with the spirit realm, Alex must work alongside a team of archaeologists to uncover a truth that has been buried for millennia.
"Balance of the Ancients" is a gripping tale that weaves the mystique of the supernatural with the undeniable threads of our own history, reminding us that sometimes, the past is not as distant as we believe.

Story
Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

Story
Kidnappers grabbed Jenna in broad daylight, right in front of her children and their horrified classmates. Her family was issued an insane ransom demand: $25 million in cash and jewels, payable by the end of the school day, otherwise they’ll never see her again. As Jenna’s mother scrambles to gather the money, detectives Mo Butler and George Ortega follow the trail of the kidnappers, which will lead them through a sordid landscape of jealous lovers, broken dreamers, and twisted schemers. But every second counts, and there’s one thing Jenna Wade doesn’t have: very much time.

Short Powerful and Thought-provoking
Balance of the Ancients is a well written tale that interweaves the supernatural and history that it will make you give pause to everything you you knew or understood. The story is thought-provoking, vivid, and intense. The story starts off with Alex's boss asking him for help and, as a reward, invites him to a lavish party that will forever change his world. There must be checks and balances between the world of the seen and unseen, and now the veil has been violated.
I love how well the author intertwined the modern world with that of the unseen supernatural world so seamlessly that it makes you question what is real or what fantasy is. Brooks Corley voice has a way of making the stories seem real and believable. He definitely did a phenomenal job with this short but very powerful book. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves stories that are fast-paced, intense, thought-provoking, and full of intrigue.
I received this book upon my request. I am so happy I did because it was a phenomenal read. This is my honest and unbiased review that I am leaving here voluntarily.

A Journey Through the Spirit World in Modern NYC
This title caught me completely off guard with its mesmerizing blend of modern-day New York and the enigmatic world of ancestral spirits. Alex's journey, from the concrete jungle of NYC to an ancient excavation site, is a remarkable tale that bridges the gap between the tangible and the supernatural.
The story is a fascinating exploration of the spirit world intertwined with the tangible realities of our own history. The narrative is rich with mystery and intrigue, drawing you into a world where the past is not just a memory, but an active, influencing force. Mr. Roth, one of the characters, stands out with his intense and vivid personality, adding depth to the tale.
The audiobook is short, just an hour, but it packs a powerful punch. The performance is captivating, enhancing the story's allure. For anyone interested in stories that blend the supernatural with historical elements, this is a must-listen. The way it seamlessly weaves these two worlds together is both thought-provoking and entertaining.
This is more than just a story; it's an experience that challenges the way we perceive time and history. It reminds us that sometimes, the ancient world is not as far removed from our modern lives as we might think. Highly recommended for a quick yet immersive journey into a world where the past and present collide in the most unexpected ways.

A mysterious tale with unusual characters and the spirit world.
I very much enjoyed this short one hour story that was about the discovery of the spirit world and more. I highly recommend this entertaining tale. Mr. Roth is a wonderfully fleshed out character. Intense and vivid.
