About this listen
Sixteen-year-old Hamilton Dinger leads a charmed life. He's got the grades for the top of the class, the abilities of a star athlete and Tetris player, and the charisma to get away with anything. Everything seems to be going along perfectly, including his plans to ask out Gwen Kessler, as he enters into tenth grade at Apollo Central High School.
Everything, that is, until a meteor crashes into the city, releasing the Seven Deadly Sinisters and their leader, Orpheus, from their celestial prison, and awakening Hamilton's longtime dormant supernatural abilities. Suddenly Hamilton finds himself reluctantly allied with his self-declared mentor, Elysian, a changeling dragon, and Starry Knight, a beautiful but dangerous warrior, as they seek to protect the souls of Apollo City from the Sinisters and their evil intentions.
Can Hamilton overcome his ignorance and narrow-mindedness to see what is truly real? Can he give up his self-proclaimed entitlement to happiness in order to follow the call of a duty he doesn't want? More importantly, will he willingly sacrifice all he has to find out the truth?

Story
Twelve-year-old Sophie has never quite fit into her life. She’s skipped multiple grades and doesn’t really connect with the older kids at school, but she’s not comfortable with her family, either. The reason? Sophie’s a Telepath, someone who can read minds. No one knows her secret - at least, that’s what she thinks.... But the day Sophie meets Fitz, a mysterious (and adorable) boy, she learns she’s not alone. He’s a Telepath too, and it turns out the reason she has never felt at home is that, well...she isn’t. Fitz opens Sophie’s eyes to a shocking truth....

Story
Some cryptic words wake college student Jess Ballard from a terrifying dream into an even more terrifying reality. Jess’ life has never been what anyone would call easy; doing damage control in the wake of your nomadic, alcoholic mother doesn't exactly make for a storybook childhood. But now, her world has fallen apart just when it should be coming together: her mother gone—dead under mysterious circumstances; her life uprooted to stay with estranged relatives she’s never met; and there’s something odd about some of the people she’s been meeting at school: They’re dead.

Laurel was mesmerized, staring at the pale things with wide eyes. They were terrifyingly beautiful - too beautiful for words. Laurel turned to the mirror again, her eyes on the hovering petals that floated beside her head. They looked almost like wings. In this extraordinary tale of magic and intrigue, romance and danger, everything you thought you knew about faeries will be changed forever.

Story
Clara Gardner has recently learned that she's part angel. Having angel blood run through her veins not only makes her smarter, stronger, and faster than humans (a word, she realizes, that no longer applies to her), but it means she has a purpose, something she was put on this earth to do. Figuring out what that is, though, isn't easy.

Story
I'm Mackenzie Wellesley, and I've spent my life avoiding the spotlight. But that was four million hits ago... Blame it on that grade school ballet recital, when I tripped and pulled the curtain down, only to reveal my father kissing my dance instructor. At Smith High, I'm doing a pretty good job of being the awkward freshman people only notice when they need help with homework. Until I send a burly football player flying with my massive backpack, and make a disastrous - not to mention unwelcome - attempt at CPR.

Interesting.
This book was really interesting, in the way that it made me feel, which I'll get to in a bit!! So this is focused on Hamilton Dinger. He is a above average student whose life is going good... that is till a meteor crashes into his town and awakes some dormant powers he had, but it also awakens other things, and now Hamiltons life is forever changed!!! Whether for the better you will have to read it and see.
I devoured this book, which I'm quite surprised with because starting out I love/hated the MC. Hamilton. He is so arrogant, self absorbed and obnoxious that it was hard to connect with him, but he is also incredibly likable too. I honestly didn't know what to think of him, but as the story unfolded you get to see who he truly is, which isn't always nice but he had a certain charm and charisma that made him.... interesting. My feelings were all over the place when it came to him.
Even though the plot seemed very mundane, most of it is about Hamiltons life before the meteor, it was relatively fast paced and held my attention throughout. I was intrigued enough with everything happening to read it over the course of a day, which is awesome because it's at over 6 hours, it's pretty long. I just found it so hard to put down and listened to it late into the night!!
In all, a really good listen and I'm looking forward to diving into book 2 soon.
Nicholas Santasier did a good job. He was easy to listen to and read it well, I just found he lacked in the performance part!! It's important that a narrator can draw you into the story by his tones, voices and cadences, but this narrator lacked the ability to really make the world come alive. He needed to perform more and add more personality to the characters and world.
I was voluntarily provided this audiobook for free from the author, narrator, or publisher. This in no way affected nor influenced my thoughts.

Great fun teen book!
What didn’t you like about Nicholas Santasier’s performance?
I didn't think his voice matched this book. I am sure it would be good in other novels but just not this one. I just couldn't put my finger on what was wrong.
Any additional comments?
Slumbering (The Starlight Chronicles #1) by C.S. Johnson and narrated by Nicholas Santasier is an audible book I requested and the review is voluntary. This book is a preteen/teen book and is quite funny in many ways. The main guy of the story, Hamilton, is so incredibly self centered, narrow-minded, obnoxious, entitled (he thinks), and so much better than anyone else that he is so unlikable. The way the author makes him react to situations is so brilliant, I would have never thought of it! It is laughable and in that way he is funny but he doesn't know it. Despite all of these negative qualities, he is super popular and everyone loves him. Of course they do, just ask him! But things go crazy in town. A meteor, evil beings, and then suddenly he has super powers. What will a self serving guy with superpowers do? These superpowers come at the end of the book so the rest is the million other crazy things in his life. Mainly, there is a girl that doesn't understand that she loves him and needs to change for him. He must make her understand that. Oh and the meteor thing, town going to hell and football...The next book I imagine is all about the superpower self centered Hamilton, I am going there next. I saw so little of it here and want to see where that leads. Cute story. Not really an adult read but I think teens will really like the crazy group of teens he hangs with. Most are normal and why then are with him I am not sure. Rude to even his friends. lol
The narrator's voice would be good in other stories but not in this one. I would have preferred a different voice.
I also own the ebook before I got this.

Deliberately irritating lead but a good book
I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
First of all, the main character is really irritating, but I got the feeling this was absolutely intentional by the author. The story itself was pretty entertaining and kept my interest the entire time. The narrator did a fantastic job on different voices for each character and had an engaging tone. All in all, a good experience and I'll definitely look for more in the series.

Teen Drama
Is there anything you would change about this book?
I thought I am going to listen to a sci-fi / fantasy story, but turned out it is more of a YA Teen drama, like Teen Wolf etc. The main character was so freaking annoying and moody that I hated him from the get go. If your central character who's supposed to be the "hero" of the story is so hate-able, not sure how the author expects the readers to root for him. His actions even after the main event of the book starts is pretty infuriating. I wish the characters were a whole lot more matured.
Do you think Slumbering needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
It's the first of the series. There are more books in the pipeline obviously.
Any additional comments?
I received this book free of charge from the author / narrator / publisher in exchange for an unbiased review.

I hated to lead character...
...but it seems like he was designed that way on purpose, so I'm not sure how to feel about Hamilton. Self-centered to the extreme it seems like the series has lots of personal growth planned for him and I saw the start of it in this book.
There are some interesting elements to the world this book is based on but I'm still finding it confusing, I'm not sure how it's all supposed to work, I'm assuming later books will shed more light on this, but I find it a bit frustrating.
The writing is vivid and there is lots going on, but there's also a lot of high school included which is a time in my life I'd rather not re-visit.
The narration is well paced and has a natural flow to it, but I found the character voices a bit over-done except for the main character Hamilton.
This book was supplied free by the author/narrator/publisher and I voluntarily wrote this honest review.

Male Lead Drives me Crazy - In A Good Way LOL
The male lead Hamilton in this story drives me absolutely insane with his self centered egotistical attitude - but that is a good thing. I believe that any Author who can evoke such feelings from me must be doing something right! Nicolas Santasier is a great narrator. His characters have distinct easy to follow voices that I really enjoyed. I look forward to more in this series and from this Author & narrator.
