The Seven Hungers: Crimson King

An Urban Fantasy Action Adventure

By: Morgan Quaid

Narrated by: Michael Norman Johnson

Meet Ambrose Drake—Sorcerer, Exile, and Host to a Demon Queen

All Ambrose Drake wants is a quiet life. Too bad he’s the most notorious sorcerer in the Hallowed World—with a demon queen from the Seventh Hunger stuck in his head.

Once a top operative for the Crown, the secret society policing magic and the horrors beneath our world, Ambrose took a wrong turn into the underworld and picked up an unwelcome hitchhiker. Now, the demon queen wants out, the Crown wants him leashed, and supernatural nightmares keep landing at his doorstep.

Armed with a sharp tongue, reluctant heroics, and just enough magic to get himself into trouble, Ambrose must face down ancient horrors, rogue sorcerers, and a growing apocalypse—all before his morning coffee.

If you love snarky, trouble-prone mages like Harry Dresden or Nate Temple, dive into this action-packed urban fantasy series today!

I have to admit, I didn't expect to enjoy this book so much

I have to admit, I didn't expect to enjoy this book so much. The blurb definitely caught my attention obviously, but I was sucked into this world immediately. I was eager to learn all of Ambrose Drake's secrets and past as he hinted at everything, then as his ex entered the set, I was intrigued even more. It was a well built world that I enjoyed, and it felt like watching some of my favorite paranormal/fantasy shows and movies. There was danger, action, and suspense as well as plenty of moments to laugh at. Drake's internal thoughts were both informational and humorous at times. I was preparing myself for a cliffhanger moment, and was definitely happy when the main ends were tied up by the end of the book. The overall battle against evil isn't over though, and I am definitely hoping I can get the other books in the series in audio soon! The narration brought the story to life.

Interesting!

Drake and Karen

Another new author, narrators and genre. I enjoyed listening to this Urban Fantasy. I found this entertaining. Drake is a sorcerer under restrictions and when he is needed the government will release him. He is given a bodyguard and a partner who happens to be his ex-wife.
