Winner - Outstanding YA Fiction Ian Book of the Year Award

Sam Green thinks her life is pretty normal. Almost. She does have a strange affinity for animals, weird dreams, and a mysterious staff in her closet. But Sam’s calm life is shattered when a dragon poisons her father and the mother of her best friend Jake.

She is further shocked when a shapeshifting giant cat and powerful faerie ask her to fulfill a prophecy. Sam has two days to get the antidote to save their parents, and a diabolical magical creature in the Amazon has it. But he wants Sam’s help to conquer a parallel world full of fantastic creatures.

Sam will have to choose: save their parents, or save an entire world. And Jake has already made his choice. Will Sam embrace her destiny as a guardian? Can she master her supernatural staff? Can she defeat an unbeatable beast and still save their parents?

Guardian: The Choice is book one of Magical Beasts, a fantasy thriller series with nonstop action, powerful heroines, quirky tough heroes, and a slew of not-so-friendly magical beasts. Buy Guardian: The Choice to join the magical battle of a lifetime!

Awesome!

I love all the animals and how everyone normally react to each other, Great Job by all!

Fun new Fantasy Series

I really enjoyed this one. It is a great mix of mythological and magical creatures with action, mystery and adventure. It starts off pretty quickly in a major action scene and really just continues from there to keep you on your toes wondering what will happen next. I do think this is geared more towards a middle school aged reader in the way it reads and the type of interactions between the two main characters, there's a light romance (sometimes shown very awkward teen in those moments). My only slight complaint was with the narrator, there where times in the narration her voice fell a bit flat or robotic and most of the characters voices sounded very similar. The speed of speech also feels really slow, try bumping up the speed around 1.3-1.5 times speed. Overall, it was a lot of fun and I look forward to seeing what happens in the next book.

Great series

I finished book two before I started book one, but the performance and story was so good, it didn't bother me.

Loved it

Reality world meets fantasy world.

The story is well constructed. The story end in a cliffhanger. Leaving you wanting the next book. Well Worth a credit.

There is no foul language. Violence does not going to gory details. No sex scenes.

Narrated by: Sarah Lucero The narrator does a wonderful job and really suits the book. She brings the characters alive with their own individual unique voice.

I just love this story. Wanting for the next Book.

enjoyed

I enjoyed listening to this story and would like to continue to follow this series.

I think it’s a great story for young teens

This is the first book I’ve read/listened to by this author. This is appropriate for young teens. Parts of the story felt disjointed to me, but overall I enjoyed it. The kids have many capabilities and many creatures to help them. There is nonstop action and hard decisions need to be made.

This is the first book I’ve listened to by this narrator ( Sara Lucero ). She did quite well narrating this book. She leans more towards performing instead of just reading the book. Most of her character voices are distinguishable, but not all. The fight scenes are not over acted.

There are no explicit sex scenes, excessive violence or swearing.

AWESOME READ!

I absolutely loved it! This book caught my attention from the very beginning and held it throughout the entire book. This book is full of action, adventure, drama, suspense, mystical creatures and universe. The narration was superb and gave the story that extra flair! The author did an amazing job with the character builds and plot. This was my first book by this author but definitely not my last! I look forward to reading more books in this series (can't wait)!

A refreshing story!

I really enjoyed this audible! It kind of reminds me of a hint of "The Lion, The Witch, And the Wardrobe", but in a modern day. The action was perfect, adventure, struggle, humor, love, and everything else in an adventure to save two-worlds from forces of evil.

If you are a fan of:
Dragonia: Rise of the Wyvers by Craig A Price Jr. (and the other books)
All Dragon books by Craig Halloran (which is about 40+ books)
Rise of the Dragons (Morgan Rice)
Call Me Dragon: Dragon Fires Rising by Marc Secchia

then you enjoy this book and others by Geoffrey Saign.

The narrator did a job well done as well!

Marvelous story!

I am an avid lover of fantasy and this book delivered in every way possible. I am thrilled and can't get this book off my mind. I am excited to give the second book a listen. If you love fantasy don't hesitate to buy this book! :)

this book had a lot of potential

The performance was unfortunately weak. While the story was interesting I found myself fairly frequently wishing the narrator were someone else. She does a fairly spotty job, sometimes she's okay and sometimes she's overacting, and that really diminished my enjoyment of the book.

But as I said this story was quite good, lots of good character interaction and development, extradimensional monsters, corrupt military organizations, a couple good mystery plotlines and some good old fashion superpowered combat.

the story was fun, and I'd be interested in more of the authors work, and I hope the narrator finds her stride with some more experience.
