24-Hour Warlock

The Chronos Chronicles, Book 3

By: Shami Stovall

Narrated by: Soundbooth Theater, Annie Ellicott, Jeff Hays, Justin Thomas James, Ryan H. Reid, Gary Furlong

The most powerful warlock in the world, Adair Finch, has drawn the ire of a sociopathic wizard.

While building up his PI agency, Finch’s sister-in-law, Jessica, comes to him with a major problem. She cheated the wizard, Maldonado, an infamous demonologist known for his crime dealings, and now he wants Jessica dead.

Determined to help Jessica, as well as a few others around town, all within a single 24-hour period, Finch must make a new pact with a creature that can defeat Maldonado’s infernal magic. Unfortunately, very few creatures can do that, and all of them want something drastic in return.

Luckily, Finch has made some new allies—a werewolf, a YouTube star, a budding witch, a vampire attorney, and even a reluctant duergar. With their help, finding Maldonado and ending his criminal operations doesn’t seem as impossible as before.

But navigating the supernatural world isn’t as easy as Finch remembers, and the monster who killed his brother is lurking just around the corner…

Another great entry to the series

My only complaint is that it’s too short and the next one isn’t out yet. Excellent voice acting, as always from this group. Very fun story, not as much a mystery this time, but still very fun to watch everything play out.

Surprisingly good and getting better each month!

I didn't know this author or series at all before I picked up the first book on a whim. I'm really glad I did! this has ended up being a fantastic ride and each book in the series is better than the last! I'm so excited to have found a new Urban fantasy author to follow. And of course, narrators are absolutely incredible!

meh

felt like the author has big plans but needed to find a quick way to get there and this book is basically setting up the plot of the next 3 books (at least).
it's not bad, just nowhere near the first two books

Looking at the past and moving on

I loved, loved the latest installment of this magical detective series with a side of buddy comedy. It had a layered storyline, witty dialogue, an intriguing problem to solve, surprising plot twists, and suspense. I was equally desperate to read it all at once to solve Jessie’s dilemma and also to savor it and make it last. Adair Finch is the most powerful warlock in the world and one of the best private investigators for hire. When his brother died, he retired from PI work and stopped living his life but he’s recently joined the world again including opening a new detective agency. He is visited by his sister-in-law, Jessie, who he has not seen in the decade since his brother’s death. She is a witch that is now bound with a demon, has government agents looking for her, and she needs Adair’s help. The interactions and juxtaposition between grumpy put upon Adair, vibrant and innocent Bree, nerdy and cautious Liam, and angry protective Enzo was what really made this story so very good. The character arc for all of them was wonderful despite the story being about poor choices and painful pasts. I cannot say enough about how much I loved this story, these characters and this series. I need more of these characters in my life.

Annie Ellicott, Jeff Hays, Justin Thomas James, Ryan H. Reid, and Gary Furlong did a phenomenal job narrating the story and characters into life with enough change of inflection, tone and cadence to voice multiple characters quite convincingly. Reading the story was great but listening to it raised the enjoyment to a whole new level. I love Soundbooth Theater narrations. They are always a step above other narrations.

Need MORE!!

More, more, more!! So good, I just want the whole series out. Each book reveals more about Finch’s past while keeping the reader/listener interested in the current adventure. I can’t wait for the next one and all Shami has to offer!
