Publisher's summary

An ancient family feud. Strange magic. Can one uncertain boy heal an eldritch rift?

Thirteen-year-old Daniel Waldera is struggling with life's changes. Realizing he has feelings for his best friend is hard enough, and the idea of confessing them to her is even more terrifying. But when he's attacked by an evil spirit and turns a flashlight into a lightsaber to vanquish it, the young teen faces a whole new level of confusion.

Discovering he's heir to powers from both his grandfather and his dad, Daniel finds himself caught in the middle of a long-running family rivalry. And with his best friend afraid of his growing abilities, fulfilling a prophecy is the last thing he wants.

Can Daniel defeat his own fears in time to become the master of magic he was born to be?

Blood Is Thicker than Magic is the thrilling first book in the Arcana Chronicles middle-grade/teen urban fantasy series. If you like everyday heroes, unexpected destiny, and coming-of-age adventures, then you'll love Jay S. Willis' riveting tale.

Fun, Imaginative Story!!!

What a fun story! This was a terrific family oriented, interesting paranormal story for the whole family to enjoy! I really enjoyed the non-stop action as well as the supportive family relationships in this story. The setting was realistic- albeit a magical paranormal world. The ending was fulfilling and left me very satisfied and looking forward to the sequel! The narrator was ok, but irritating at times and somewhat monotone when voicing the 13 year old boy.

Amazing listen

This story starts off really fast and you are pretty much thrown right into the action but everything is really simple to understand and the performance of Jason Keller makes it sound like the main character is actually a teenager and everything is just overall amazing.
