    Jack and his fellow students are now well into their School of Thought training and are "sidekicking" for official, card-carrying super heroes. But, even though Jack feels more at home in the Imagine Nation, he's still hiding secrets from his friends Skerren and Allegra, both about his shocking connection to their enemy Revile and about his "Top Secret" school assignment, which involves investigating the RÜstov computer virus that affects the Mechas.

    This is an exciting story! The narrator did a great job of bringing the characters to life. Audible needs to make Book 3 available because I'd rather listen to it than read it.

    Skeeve has decided, at long last, to come out of his self-imposed retirement and get back into the problem-solving biz. He confidently expected to walk in and take his rightful place as the head of M.Y.T.H., Inc. He didn't expect to have to face off against Aahz for the job. With their friends lending help but showing no favorites, they start a not-so-friendly contest to see who will run the company by taking opposite sides of the next case to walk in the door. Will the legendary partnership survive the battle? Or will this be the end of a beautiful friendship?

    Skeeve and Aahz compete against each other for president of Myth Inc. In the end there is a surprise twist when the president of Myth Inc. is announced. It was nice having the main characters back together along with a new cast. The narrator did another amazing of job of keeping the story moving along. There is never a dull moment when Skeeve and his crew have a goal in sight.

    Story

    Aahz and Tanada lead the cast of characters in this book. It still has humor and witty dialogue, but there are several talking inanimate objects. I am not really a fan of animating many objects because I find it hard keeping all of them separate in my mind, especially when the names are unusual. Aahz is still his irascible self, but his noble side also shines through. I am hoping that Myth Inc. will get back together. It would be nice to have a story with the main characters together again. The narrator did a great job as usual.

    After years as a court magician and inter-dimensional hero, Skeeve needed a rest. So he took some time off to study magic and relax. When a few months later several members of the M.Y.T.H. Inc. Team each ask him to train some talented, young magicians in "practical magic" he has to agree. But after the assassins attack and a manticore tries to eat them, the Khlad mage soon discovers that there is more going on than learning. His students are preparing for a very deadly magical game and you won't believe where. Worse yet, the game may be fixed, and the only way to save his students lives is for Skeeve to risk his own.

    Skeeve reluctantly takes on six apprentices. Skeeve continues to have integrity, and he tries to instill this in his students. Of course class does not always go smoothly, and they get into one humorous predicament after another. The six apprentices learn to work together, and this proves to be their greatest newly acquired skill. The narrator is spot on once again.

    Aahz, Massha, and Chumley, along with a new assortment of characters, save Skeeve’s good name when mall rats steal Skeeve’s identity. There is a humorous inference that compares a credit card to the ring from JRR Tolkien’s books. The narrator did another amazing job of bringing all of the characters to life. Thanks for another fun adventure.

    Start at the beginning, in Another Fine Myth, as Skeeve, an apprentice wizard, meets the demon Aahz. Though it's not love, or even like at first sight they form a connection - saving their lives - between them. Follow them in Myth Conceptions, as Skeeve and Aahz test their talent when they decide to take on an entire army themselves and continue on in Myth Directions. Then Skeeve finds himself alone with his own apprentice applicant, a king, in Hit or Myth and must deal with a medieval Mob!

    I was really pleased to learn that Audible had added the MYTH books by Robert Asprin. I first read this book about twelve years ago, and I really enjoyed it then. Recently I enjoyed hearing the narrator bring these fun characters to life. I love that Skeeve is sweet and seems to bumble his way into success. I also found the irascible Aahz entertaining. I recommend this book to anyone who needs a lighthearted diversion.

    Skeeve, Bunny, Tanada, and a new character called Zol Icty all work together to help the shy people called Wuhses. I like that Skeeve is always looking out for the underdog. His character has integrity. He might not always make the right choices, but his heart is always in the right place. The narrator did another great job of bringing all of the characters to life. This was another fun read in the Myth series.

    Revolution is in the air. The king's court sorcerer is being eyed with suspicion. Not for dabbling in the black arts...not for consorting with a demon...not for having a dragon as a pet...not even for being mobbed up. But for the greatest crime of all: raising taxes. Who is this terrible tyrant? None other than Skeeve the Great. Oh, how the mighty have fallen....

    The narrator of this series does another outstanding job. The many different accents he gives each character really adds to the humor and fun tone of the book. This book gives more insights to book 10: Sweet Myth-tery of Life. Some of the conversations are the same in both books, but are being told from a different character’s point of view. Also the wedding of Masha and Hugh Badaxe is included. Gleep, the dragon, develops more abilities and adds nicely to the motley crew. Another fun adventure with Myth Inc. I am looking forward to the next escapade.

    Molly Murphy always knew she'd end up in trouble, just as her mother predicted. So, when she commits murder in self-defense, she flees her cherished Ireland, under cover of a false identity, for the anonymous shores of late 19th-century America. When she arrives in New York and sees the welcoming promise of freedom in the Statue of Liberty, Molly begins to breathe easier. But when a man is murdered on Ellis Island, a man Molly was seen arguing with, she becomes a prime suspect in the crime.

    Molly Murphy has many difficulties to overcome, and she works her way through each problem. Molly is not a helpless female. I love the spunky character Rhys Bowen has created, and the narrator brings Molly to life with a lilting Irish accent. I have enjoyed Rhys Bowen's Royal Spyness series, and now I am looking forward to more adventures with Molly too.
