One ghost from the past. Two unknown Australian monsters eating people. Three men who won’t let either problem win.

Familiars of choice, healing old wounds, Australian mythology (yes, Nico and Wicky are in Australia): it goes about as well as anyone could expect.

With giant amphibians of unusual size that stump even the MAD research department, Wicky may have summoned Godzilla (in his defense he was left unsupervised).

The next time they have to travel to a different continent Bel is drugging Nico first...

Second instalment, such fun to follow up with our mage and his two human familiars. Excellent narrators, who really brought the story to life. I love that there was a different narrator for each main character.

Doesn't take itself too serious, and the story sees both human and monster adversaries vanquished most satisfactorily. Loved it! Hope there's more to come

lots of fun

Far too cringe in so many places that it ruins this book. I didn’t love book 1 but was interested enough in the world to see where this could go and it’s disappointing unfortunately. It’s a shame as I love the idea of the world and it’s such an interesting take on mages and magic but the relationship is utterly annoying. They are beyond childish and it’s such an ick. Nico has been written as a golden retriever on steroids and it just goes too far, it should be cute and loveable it’s just annoying and literally childlike. Yea we get he’s hyper but it’s just so repetitive that it’s boring. I couldn’t describe Garen as anything other than blah. He’s so painfully dull. Bel should be interesting but he’s too underdeveloped. I also can’t decide if this author is 16 or 76. In places it reads like a school project/homework and in others like an elderly out of touch author has written it. So bizarre. The small amount of spice is so cringe it’s icky. This is also a perfect example of why “why choose” doesn’t often work well and It absolutely does not work in 3rd POV. So many authors just don’t have a clue how to actively involve all characters so it’s disjointed and messy. The Spencer character was included to provide a villain but it was far too far fetched & unbelievable that he’d have been left on as a team member after the first interaction before anything even got started so it just seemed a bit 🙄 after that.

TBH I think this author just isn’t for me, this is the first series/book I’ve read from this author and it’s just not written well for me to enjoy.

As far as the narrators go.. Greg was great, but I’m now even more convinced that Tim Paige is actually AI. Something is extremely off with his voice and if he’s not AI then he needs voice coaching or something, he sounds like those annoying voice overs on adverts etc. Michael was 50/50 he’s such a talented narrator I really feel like he was bored, which honestly doesn’t surprise me after reading this book 😬

Not sure about this one! 2 ⭐
