He'll have to make a deal with the Devil to save victims that have gone missing - maybe literally.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 519
Something has always been missing from my life. A hole that I could never seem to fill. When I accidentally turn a coven of witches into nightmares, I find out what that something is. Magic. And it turns out, I have a crap load of it. As a latent power awakens deep inside of me, I'm exposed to one of the most powerful and corrupt organizations in the magical world - the Mages' Guild. Barely knowing a spell from a few swear words and luck, I won't be able to evade them alone. And that's when I meet him.

My name's Cesar Hawke. I'm a witch working for a division of the government you've never heard about. The world's not what everyone thinks it is - unless you think that our world's a pawn in a game of chess between Heaven and Hell, and riddled with as much magic and wonder as it is with evil. In that case, the world is exactly what you think. My place of employment - the Office of Preternatural Affairs - takes a modern approach to an ages-old problem.

narration, not so good
While an enjoyable enough story line, the narrator's style was way too drawn out (and ends her words harshly). For me, it was impossible to listen as released. After taking time to download (no speed adjustment for streaming) I listed to it 1.5 faster. Whew, that's better!

Narration spoiled the book
Would you try another book from SM Reine and/or Saskia Maarleveld?
I would try another book by this author but have made a note never to buy another book narrated by Saskia Maarleveid. Her habit of drawing out the ends of so many words was distracting and annoying. The narration made it very hard to follow the story.
