In Absentia

An Anthology

By: Ben Reeder

Narrated by: Charlie Thurston

Chance Fortunato may be away at boarding school, but the bad guys haven’t gone anywhere, and they certainly haven’t changed their ways. It falls to Chance’s friends to pick up the slack.

In Mage Enough, Lucas is confronted with the consequences of helping Chance during an earlier adventure and must delve into the vampire subculture of New Essex in order to find a missing priest. As he uncovers another, greater threat, he also discovers that he’s capable of far more than he ever thought possible.

In Freedom, Shade learns that there is much more to the world behind the Veil than she ever suspected. When Lucas shows up needing her help for a newfound friend, she’s more than willing to assist. But they quickly discover that he’s taken something that the vampires will go to any lengths to get back. In trying to keep those around her safe, she will discover what it truly means to live free, and how far she’ll go to safeguard that right.

In Those Who Can, Dr. Corwyn discovers how far the conspiracy Lucas and Shade have uncovered goes, and how much the Conclave doesn’t know. Drafted back into a role he had given up years ago, he must figure out how the Sentinels have changed over the years, and if he can do the job now. As he struggles to find his way in his old/new role, he finds an even bigger conspiracy and the hint of something familiar.

Great Series

Excellent work on the everyone’s part. This author is a good writer. The profanity and gratuitous sex are a little creepy but the story line is interesting.

Exhilarating

Fantastic book series, I really hope that there are more stories in the series to come. I haven’t been so excited for a book series in a really long time, well done to the author, thank goodness it is on audiobook because that’s the only way that I can enjoy any literature anymore. As a blind person audiobooks are sort of my life.

Takes place during Charm School

Seeing things from others' perspectives was interesting and was just as good as every other book. Should have checked to see where to read this one in the series beforehand but still an amazing read.

Great book. Free!!

Awesome book and whole series!!! Free if you have subscription. Great story line. Definitely would recommend this book & series!!

Like it... (best before book 5)

Three short stories with Lukas, Shade & Dr Corwin while chance is away at from New Essex during book 4 (Charm School).

Gives the much-needed origin story for Monica aka Chastity from Lukas’ perspective which you will want before reading book 5 (Prom Knight).
