Relics

Modern Magics, Book One

By: Maer Wilson

Narrated by: Traci Arlene

Most of Thulu and La Fi's clients are dead. Which is perfect since their detective agency caters to the supernatural. But a simple job finding a lost locket leads to a big case tracking relics for an ancient daemon.

The daemon needs the relics to keep a dangerous portal closed. His enemy, Gabriel, wants the relics to open the portal and give his people access to a new feeding ground - Earth. Caught on live TV, other portals begin to open and the creatures of magic return to Earth. The people of Earth are not alone, but will soon wish they were.

When Gabriel threatens their family, Thulu and La Fi's search becomes personal. The couple will need powerful help in the race to find the relics before Gabriel does. But maybe that's what ghostly friends, magical allies, and daemonic clients are for.

When the creatures of myth and magic return to Earth, they're nothing like your mother's fairy tales.

Engaging story and endearing characters

I found the story easy to relate to and be invested into. I don’t normally read (or listen to in this case) fantasy that takes place in the “real” world I found this quite a surprising and slightly disturbing view of things. I enjoyed the characters and the struggles as we learned the answers to the mysteries along the way.

The narrator has a pleasant voice but her pronunciation of male and female sounded more like “mell” and “femell”. lol seriously tho, she was very easy to listen to.

Relics

Has a fun and attention grabbing storyline. I enjoyed the personalities of the characters. The narrator added to the story and helped bring it to life.
