Dead End

Ghosts & Magic, Book 4

By: M. R. Forbes

Narrated by: Jeff Hays, Soundbooth Theater

Conor Night, the world's only necromancer, has finally learned what it means to be the world's only necromancer. It’s a lesson he wishes he had never received, because thanks to him an ancient wizard with an apocalyptic agenda is back in business, ready to finish cleaning house.

Even worse? He’s the only one who can stop it.

He’s been living on a roll of the dice for years, but the stakes have never been higher, and the outcome never so clear: To save the world, he has to die.

EXCELLENT. EXCITING CONTINUATION OF SERIES.

Fast paced action. Conner, the last necromancer fighting to save the world from an ancient evil. The end of the evil means he had to sacrifice his own life. I do hope there will be a continuation of this series? Otherwise it is a sad ending indeed though he died a hero. M R Forbes is an excellent writer and Jeff Hays is a fantastic narrator/ performer with distinct voices for the various characters. Well worth the wait and the credit.

Wow!

The best! Action packed, original plotting, no equal... Great narrator! loved it and waiting for next book.

Definitely worth it

this is a great series the performance was incredible it was funny heartwarming and witty well worth the credits the characters seemed to come to life I hated for it to end

crazy progression through a crazy story

super fun to read and watch as Connor grows more and more powerful. great character development rounding out many of the original characters.

Seriously very good but too short series

Kudos to M. R. Forbes for writing an interesting, humorous and sometimes poignant series. His character choices for the immortals were chosen from many counties myths and lore and given enough backstory and character development to make them interesting to the telling. And before I forget, Jeff Hays' performance throughout ever-enhanced the listening experience. Normally I find special effect sound distracting but Soundbooth Theater effects were not over-done, except for Samedi's repeated echo-y "the power of a soul for the power of a soul".

There was a couple of open issues left unclear with the Houses and even Kirin's fit into society but Forbes hinted that there may be a follow-on work however that was 3 years ago so it still remains uncertain. In all, I still rank the Chaos of the Covenant series at the top of my M. R. Forbes series but Ghosts & Magic is up there in the top 5.
