By: Justin Leslie

Max Abaddon just got his lucky break…kind of.

Max was just having one of those days until he soon realized everything that goes bump in the night is real. Most people inherit a house, a pet, or money. Max Abaddon wasn’t so lucky. His Gramps left him a job that required him to learn that magic was real, and he’d better learn how to use it. Soon…In his new role Max works with a team of eccentric Mages based out of a facility called the Atheneum that has, for a very long time managed the relationship between the normal world and well everything else.

To make matters worse a string of high profile murders ensure his transition is not going to be an easy one. Will the team stop the murderer? Is Max unknowingly part of a bigger scheme? Most importantly will Max be able to have a normal life again and find time for a drink or two at his favorite bar the Fallen Angel?

Max is cool!

The audio performance was perfect and the story really captivated me. Max and the other supernatural characters were very interesting. I want to start the next one right away. #toomanybookstoolittletime

took a chance and wasn't disappointed

Was hesitant to start a new series from an unknown to me author, but so far Luke Daniels has been pretty good at picking books I will like.

Was unconvinced at the start with it feeling a bit generic (guy with nothing really going on at the moment, but has military training, gets dragged into the supernatural) but quickly found its own direction.

The characters were believable and well though out, and Luke Daniels put plenty of personality into them.

Pacing is wonderful with no point where I was waiting through filler wanting it to get on with the story, yet it didn't feel rushed.

I'm out of credits, but the next two books went right on to my wish list for later.

A bit Juvenile, but a decent listen

I am hoping that Max grows up a bit more in upcoming books. The story was pretty good, but Max’s immaturity is annoying at times. Also, it’s a fairly predictable plot line. All that being said, I will give the next book in the series a try. Oh, and please lose that weird out-takes/narrator rap thing at the end. Aside from that, the narrator did a good job.

Not bad at all

There was a lot of telling and not showing at at the beginning. I feel like the author rushed due to the lack of action from the beginning. But overall it's a pretty good story.

Birthday Surprise

Max is about to turn thirty and thinking about what he should do next. And then his world shifts upside down. Things are really not what they seem. Max gets drawn into the intrigue of at whole new level. I love the blend of action and humor in this book. There is a wonderful and rich cast of characters. This is the first in a series. The main issue for this story get resolved but there is clearly more action to come. #CMCon25
