About this listen

Chance Fortunato may be away at boarding school, but the bad guys haven’t gone anywhere, and they certainly haven’t changed their ways. It falls to Chance’s friends to pick up the slack.

In Mage Enough, Lucas is confronted with the consequences of helping Chance during an earlier adventure and must delve into the vampire subculture of New Essex in order to find a missing priest. As he uncovers another, greater threat, he also discovers that he’s capable of far more than he ever thought possible.

In Freedom, Shade learns that there is much more to the world behind the Veil than she ever suspected. When Lucas shows up needing her help for a newfound friend, she’s more than willing to assist. But they quickly discover that he’s taken something that the vampires will go to any lengths to get back. In trying to keep those around her safe, she will discover what it truly means to live free, and how far she’ll go to safeguard that right.

In Those Who Can, Dr. Corwyn discovers how far the conspiracy Lucas and Shade have uncovered goes, and how much the Conclave doesn’t know. Drafted back into a role he had given up years ago, he must figure out how the Sentinels have changed over the years, and if he can do the job now. As he struggles to find his way in his old/new role, he finds an even bigger conspiracy and the hint of something familiar.

Excellent work on the everyone’s part. This author is a good writer. The profanity and gratuitous sex are a little creepy but the story line is interesting.

Great Series

Fantastic book series, I really hope that there are more stories in the series to come. I haven’t been so excited for a book series in a really long time, well done to the author, thank goodness it is on audiobook because that’s the only way that I can enjoy any literature anymore. As a blind person audiobooks are sort of my life.

Exhilarating

Three short stories with Lukas, Shade & Dr Corwin while chance is away at from New Essex during book 4 (Charm School).

Gives the much-needed origin story for Monica aka Chastity from Lukas’ perspective which you will want before reading book 5 (Prom Knight).

Like it... (best before book 5)

Seeing things from others' perspectives was interesting and was just as good as every other book. Should have checked to see where to read this one in the series beforehand but still an amazing read.

Takes place during Charm School

I got sad after reading this one! I hope there is a continuation of this series. I knew there was a side quest for everyone while Chance was away at wizard school.

I got into audiobooks back in 2019. Adulting had me forgetting one of the best end to a stressful day. A good book to read! Listening to audiobooks is the same as holding the physical book. But it feels like I have another person interested in the book. I might not be able to discuss the book. (Unless I leave a review) I still know that in this world there are still dreamers they are called writers! Thank you Ben Reeder and Audible a division of Amazon. I use to not stand Amazon. I would try to order books and would get my money refunded. I really needed the books. Another COVID-19 result! I needed supplies for a Library Project. Nothing big just small pieces for a short list of participants. Here I am streaming from Prime, getting shipments, reading ebooks, bought another ereader for patron checkout, and listening to audiobooks while at work. So I can entice patrons to listen to this new installment to library services.

All it took was one writer with a idea on the life of a 7 year old child who was sold into infernal bondage. That taint on his soul is being used to belittle his achievements. Those in the know, he is famous. All others he is infamous. #IAWThoughts

Loved this

This is really the story of what happens while Chance is at school. It should come before the end book! Rename it 5.5!!

BOOK 5.5
