Into the Abyss

Demons of Astlan Series, Book 1

By: J. L. Langland

Narrated by: Stephen Bel Davies

It turns out, the "Demon Weed" actually is a gateway drug! Who knew? Tom Perkinje certainly didn't. He had never smoked anything in his life, but as the new kid in town trying to make friends, he foolishly let his new buddy Reggie talk him into trying a joint that he'd picked up from a new dealer.

Before he knew it, Tom was having a seriously bad trip; a total out-of-body experience where the world had dissolved around him. The next thing Tom knew, there were these deranged myopic wizards from some place called Astlan calling on him in some sort of pig Latin mumbo jumbo. They had somehow mistaken Tom for a demon!

He tried to flee, but the wizards were relentless and were determined to conjure him into their world and bind him as their demon slave for all of eternity. And these crazy wizards? Turns out, they were going to war and planned to use their new demon slave as a secret weapon to obliterate the enemy!

Awesome book!! Awesome recording

I love this book! I loved reading it and loved listening to it even more! Can't wait until they have the rest on Audible!

Entertaining and different

Any additional comments?

This book was solid entertainment, there is world building, multiple characters and a many interesting plot developments.There are some parts of the book that is chock full of exposition explaining demon hierarchies and how the world magic works (which I actually like) and etc. While the protagonist is 16 this book seems more skewed towards older readers and I hope the next books will go in this direction.

Absolutely at top 5 for me

I love the world, the characters, the intricate and complex story line, the narration. You have to actually pay attention to the story and it's many twist or you won't enjoy it as much.

Nice Surprise

Admittedly, I was a little bit unsure at first, but I am so glad I kept listening. The story was engaging with some nice twists. Overall it was a very satisfying listen.

A fun listen.

Love a fun, twist & turn, sprinkled with dark humor story. You start to cheer for, connect with and want to know what happens with these great characters. Yay! It’s a series… more please!
