About this listen

Falling asleep for almost 300 years was never part of Pennrae's plan.

Of course, when you're a mercenary with magical abilities and defy a spellbinding prophecy...bad stuff happens.

Now, magic is long gone from the world. So Penn works as a karate instructor, trying very hard to dodge her hot, flirty, and super annoying colleague, Callan. All is well until a Jigori - a nightmarish magic-eating monster - shows up at a New York City street fair, forcing Penn to use her Shaper magic, which allows her to transform wood and metal into deadly weapons.

Now, the Jigori's master has her scent and their eye on stealing her 300 years of life. If they succeed, Penn succumbs to centuries of sleep again, and magic will be unleashed on a completely unprepared world.

And to add to her ridiculously complicated life, something isn't quite right with Callan. Which she could figure out if it weren't for that evil, apocalyptic plot she's trying to stop. But Penn may not have a choice - Callan could be the secret weapon she needs to save the world....

Contains mature themes.

Well developed character and an interesting story. It kept me wanting to know what would happen next.

Interesting story

Seven chapters in and I had to DNF. I found Callan to be very off putting, obnoxious, and overbearing from the first introduction. Also, the narrator sounded too robotic when it came to Valerin and overall the male voices were not believable just more annoying than anything. As a sci-fi/fantasy fan I had high hopes for this story but alas it was not meant to be.

Fun with lots of twists, feel good adventure, glad for a happy ending. Will make this author a favorite.

Great adventure

I enjoyed this storyline. I can see it merging seamlessly between urban and contemporary time fantasy.
With the villains and good guys setup by the end of the story, the author can move the story along into a long and successful series.

I'm going to follow A.J. Locke to see what happens next.

Good Luck A.J. Locke!

Disjointed words. Every word was enunciated so sharply this was a story of individuals word interspersed with inhalations.

Hard to listen to.

The story line was great and that’s what kept me listening but the narrator sounded like AI.

Love the story

This was a great story- different from others I've listened to in the same genre. I look forward to future insallments! The world building was great I enjoyed a world that knew they had lost magic as opposed to secret societies or just being oblivious. All the characters were great as well. At times their backgrounds were a little bland, but I hope there will be more details in the future. The main character is very guarded and it also caused a bit of a disconnect for me as a reader. The character's emotions/feelings were hidden from the readers too!

Now the narrator almost made me stop listening. At times, she read worse than my 10 year old. towards the middle of the book, the narrator gets better to the point its tolerable but just barely -it was not easy. If the narrator is the same next book I'll buy the paperback instead.

Excellent story... but that narrator omg

I only made it to 29% in. I HATED the narration. The cadence was weird and no one talks like this. Not sure I liked the storyline either. This just wasn’t for me, I guess. Ya can’t love everything.

Wanted to Love This but Didn’t

I really tried to like this book. I couldn't get into it. There were too many characters and the world created was a bit complicated. I gave up and returned it.

Not for me
