Slayers of Old

De: Jim C. Hines

Narrado por: Nancy Wu, Paul Bellantoni, Courtney Patterson

Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Golden Girls in this humorous contemporary standalone fantasy about a group of former Chosen Ones coming out of retirement to save the world one last time

Three former Chosen Ones have joined together to spend their retirement in peace and quiet, running Second Life Books and Gifts in Salem, MA. A calm, peaceful, tourist-filled oasis, where they never have to worry about saving the world. Until some of the locals start summoning ancient creatures best left where they were . . . and they discover that their bookstore basement just may be the portal to the underworld. These ex-heroes may have thought they were done . . . but if they want to finish their retirement in peace, they’ll have to join together to save the world one last time.

Why leave saving the world to the young? Cozy mystery readers looking for an extra dash of magic will eat this story up: fun, funny, and heartwarming, it's a novel about community, second chances, and the healing power of scones.

Wonderful heartwarming story about eldritch horrors and chemistry

Wonderful heartwarming story about eldritch horrors and chemistry teachers. About finding faith and ghosts in love. About the tribulations of raising teenagers with demon blood. About the frustrations of getting old and a cat with tentacles. Loved it!
