An enjoyable new series

We meet FBI agent Diana Sheen, she is trying to subdue two suspects and free hostages. Later she is recruited by Black-ops Agents of Magic (BAM). It is an organization that deals with threats to their country that involve the use of magic. Most of the story is filled with her training with BAM and trying to save the world from the nefarious plans from a power seeking Oriceran group. Diana is a fighter, trained in martial arts, intelligent, and dedicated to her job and the people she loves. Her backups are her Borzoi dog Max and Rath, the troll who adopted her. They have their own adventures training.
Note: The Oriceran universe is created by Michael Anderle and used in his Kurtherian Universe. You do not have to read those books to enjoy is series.

Light, a little humor, good background listen

I actually found this a comfortable, but definitely not absorbing, listen. It's good for housework, or having it on while you are quilting, sewing, whatever. There's actually no real overarching plot. There's just a very likeable, very competent woman main character, and a very likeable, somewhat bumbling but friendly and supportive male main character. There's a Borzoi dog and a young troll who likes action movies on tv. In all, it's an ok read, like I said, no real plot, just a woman going from a regular investigative position, to a secret magic-oriented detective position, and thence forward it's pretty much one thing after another requiring her to fight the bad guys. She does a good job of it. She gets a promotion at the end, and is going off to head her own new office in the magical policing agency, in Pittsburgh. It's not quite a "cozy", but it's definitely not grisly or grim, it's pretty much a comfy listen, with quite a bit of punching and arresting bad guys.

Not a bad start for a urban fantasy serie...

...but it is a bit short for a 1 credit book. I will get the box-set when the time comes.

better than I thought

the narrator was amazing I love the voices for the different characters the story was a lot better than I thought it was going to be I will definitely be
looking into the rest of the series..

pretty good stuff.

some things that made me laugh and some things that are different from other mage books. I'm going to do the second book and see where the story goes. its promising. would be a five if there was a touch more development but it fits the story line . pick it up and see if you agree with me.

A New Troll!!!!

Great start to a new series in the Oriceran Universe - we have:
Diana, FBI agent with telekenesis and a warning of impending danger;
Bryant, Special Agent in Charge of ARES who is trying to recruit Diana; and
Rath, the purple haired troll Diana saved on her first mission with Bryant.
And we mustn't forget Max the Borzoi Diana adpoted from the local animal rescue centre.

Plenty of action and a good build up to Diana becoming a SAC with her own team.

Narration was very good and brought the story to life.

Well worth listening to :)
