Resumen del Editor

Blue has no idea what she is doing, but for better or worse, what happens next is sure to be exceptional in so many ways.

Strange situations are an accidental specialty for Blue. In a world where magic is rare but real and a notorious bank robber wearing nothing but a mullet and too much eyeliner became the comically tragic face of magic overnight is normal, that’s saying something. As a former enforcer and current fugitive of magic’s governing body, the Cahlad, she doesn’t think twice about a string of magic surges, unexplained disappearances, and a mystery goon squad making the headlines.

Until, that is, a series of magic calamities sparks a public panic, fueled by blustering politicians and an angry internet, and threatens to destroy the uneasy peace between the vastly outnumbered magic community and everyone else. At the center of it all, is a young girl with magic so powerful it could change the world. But, as Blue works to keep her young charge safe, it becomes clear; it is just as likely to end it.

Soon Blue finds herself the center of a group of powerful enemies turned allies that might just save the world—if they don’t kill each other first.

If you crave epic adventures filled with the magic of found family, the thrill of unraveling big conspiracies, and heart-pounding action expertly intertwined with moments of tenderness and amusement, don’t miss the Hounds of Dawn, the first book of H.S. Torben’s electrifying new urban fantasy series.

Lost

A scene would be occurring when suddenly the listener would be popped into a different timeline. The characters would relate to each other, and have conversations and situation’s based apparently on pass situations but the listener is not clued in. The assumption is that eventually the listener will know what’s going on. At chapter 12, I just couldn’t finish it. It was too frustrating.
Ms. Wilson is a good performer, but unfortunately, I was beginning to dislike the characters.

Fantasy novel set in the real world. sorta

Unfortunately, the audiobook doesn't catch the breaks that are in the written book so it can be a little more difficult to follow the timeline for those that haven't already read the text. But the story is still good and the performance is great.
