About this listen
Son of a witch.
Family drama is bad enough without adding magic and human sacrifice. Ten years ago, Paxton Locke's mother killed his father in a mysterious ritual that - thankfully - went incomplete. Now, Paxton makes his living as a roving paranormal investigator, banishing spirits while Mother languishes in jail.
When a terrified ghost warns him of a dangerous, newly freed entity, Paxton faces a fight far beyond simple exorcism. In a battle for his very soul, will he be able to endure - or simply fade away?

J.Scott Bennett, narration,as always, is superb. So much of the book is dialogue and, with a large cast of disperate characters it was easy to forget this was a reading and not a full cast performance, so skillfully was each person voiced. The text in between was read with perfectly paced speed and emotion to fit the context, always calm but gauging the feeling exactly. This is a narrator to look out for again in the future.
All in all a great listen !I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.I received this title for free in exchange for an unbiased review.As always this is my honest opinion.a big thumbs up from me.
.You really can't choose your family.

Any additional comments?
Paxton Locke can speak to ghosts. He's not an exorcist; he just talks to them and tells them like it is. And they go away. Not always comfortable but straightforward. Then the ghost of a boy who goes unexpectedly peacefully suddenly my terrifies him.Paxton is alone in the world, no family unless his murderous mother held in prison counts. Paxton would have prefered that she'd received the death penalty. He does have a handful of good friends he rarely sees but, basically he prefers to stay out of the limelight. He still recalls the vicious killing of his father some years before when he was still a boy and which he had been too late to prevent and he, himself, so nearly died.
Although humour is inherent in the text, Paxton is not the usual slick talking, paranormal detective. Instead he is more introspective. Well written with vibrant visual effect, good characterisation and dialogue, and full of action, the story is told mostly in the first person present so the reader is there with Paxton throughout his experiences. And silken voiced Scott Bennett is the ghost despatching young man perfectly capturing his thoughts and terrors, never over acting and giving voice clearly to all other protagonists.
This is a great listen Despite the weirdness of so much of the action, it still feels real somehow, the impossible made plausible. My thanks to the rights holder for freely gifting me my copy of this excellent book, via Audiobook Boom. It is one I'd recommend to anyone for a light, enjoyable read, even to those who would normally avoid the paranormal so nicely is it written and performed. I greatly look forward to more in this series.

Paxton Locke paranormal investigator has had one hell of a young life after seeing his Mother kill his Father in a ritual.
A ghost warns Paxton of a dangerous entity he soon realises he’s not safe after all if something scares a ghost it must be bad.
Exciting start to the series.

I thoroughly enjoyed this intelligent action packed urban fantasy featuring a self taught Wizard with a tortured past trying to do the right thing and solve a deadly mystery.
With the ability to talk to the dead, a few spells under his belt and a homicidal mother with magical powers who wants him dead. Paxton will have to give everything to stay alive, fight a demonic presence and win the day.
I thoroughly recommend this brilliant start to the series with awesome narration by J. Scott Bennett.
I received this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review.
He sees dead people!

There’s action, magic and a great storyteller in the form of Scott.
Absolutely nothing to dislike!
I listened to book 2 first and I don’t think it ruins anything, they work great as standalone stories too.
This is my honest opinion of a free review copy.
