Natural Mage

Demon Days, Vampire Nights World, Book 5

By: K.F. Breene

Narrated by: Nicole Poole

Length: 11 hrs and 41 mins

Publisher's Summary

After narrowly surviving my debut into the magical world, I made a promise to myself: no more hiding in broom closets. But with the Mages' Guild reorganizing faster than anyone thought possible, and naming me as their number one target, that promise seems a little far-fetched. Especially since my training with Callie and Dizzy, the highly experienced dual-mage pair, goes off like a cake in a cannon. Left to find someone that can fill the role, it isn't until a formal dinner party goes horribly wrong that I find the best (and worst) solution imaginable: Reagan Somerset, the leather-clad crazy woman who busted into my broom closet sanctuary in the first place. Through an off-kilter teaching style and many punches in the face, I learn my true potential. But with her happier busting heads and kicking in doors than staying put with a pupil in hiding, it isn't long before the world comes crashing down. The Guild has found me, and they intend to take me alive.

Love this series!

Wowser! I'm suffering from a book hangover! The story is very entertaining, hilarious, and it was just simply cool that characters from the Fire and Ice trilogy make a substantial appearance in this book! I laughed, yelled, and wanted to help kick some rear! The story was unpredictable and exciting! The characters are snarky, sarcastic, and quite funny! Going back for a second listen! Nicole Poole did a nice job with providing individual voices for each character and appropriate tone inflections for each scene.

the main character has lots of power ,but no sense

in the first book she had people to help guide her.in this book she demonstrates her complete lack of common sense,or sense of self preservation.she knows almost nothing about the supernatural world,and refuses to listen to any of the experts surrounding her.,she doesn't have the self preservation instincts of the average house pet.the author is obviously capable of writing an enjoyable and interesting book,but I spent too much time yelling at the main character for being such a moron,that I did not enjoy this one.

Go Penny!

Well that was a bowl of crazy mage and fireball soup! Go Penny! I love how this character has developed from a novice to a novice with a powerful magical punch. She’s unpredictable at the best of times and totally out of her element at the best of times. It’s the best game of cat and mouse I’ve ever seen!

While training with the dual mages things just don’t seem to go right so Darius, vampire elder pulls his cards and puts her with his bonded warrior to train. Needless to say, Penny and Reagan together is a sight to behold and an explosion waiting to happen. No matter the method used, Reagan is the best one to train her.

Aside from Emory....

So when he shows back up things take a whole new turn. It’s as if no time has passed yet the bond that pulls them closer makes both Emory and Penny realize just how special the two of them are to each other and as a team.

Heads start to roll and it’s a lot of fun watching things unfold... I can’t wait for more!

Intense!!

This installment had so much action. It was awesome getting to see the shifters, witches, and vampires at work. Penny is struggling after Emory but she idea steadily working hard to train and to defend herself against the mages. I love the progress she has made so far and ir was great to see Reagan more in this book. I loved the scene at Darius house when Penny was battling for her life. That whole scene was intense!
The narrator did a wonderful job bringing the story alive for me. It felt like was watching a movie play. Nicole Poole is brilliant with the voices and inflections she uses.
Can’t wait for the next book. Have it cued up and ready to go!!

Such Unique Vocal Signatures

I love how Nicole Poole assigns a unique tone to each character and keeps that assignment throughout the series of books. Her narration skills are remarkable!

Queen Breene Never Disappoints

I love K.F. Breene’s chartacters so much. The strong women, witty banter, and hysterical one liners make me dread getting to the end of this series.

Love this series!

I love Raegan. I wish their was more books with her story. This whole series is just awesome and the dialog within the characters is genius. You can tell that KFB really had fun with it.

waste of time

I enjoyed the previous book but this one doesn't seem to have much plot. A lot of crazy scenes that are all over the place without making any sense. I kept going back to book thinking it would get better but I finally gave up & didn't finish book. Very disappointed.

Interesting way to blend 2 different stories

A very interesting way to blend two different story lines and characters. Great mix. loved it.

Penny & Reagan together?! Oh my! Happiness!!!

K.F. is one of my go to authors so when I found out the pre-order was up for Natural Mage I immediately one clicked! As usual she did not disappoint! She just keeps getting better and so does the series!!!

Penny started off as such a timid character and I did not think I was going to grow to love her as I have. Watching her come in to her own in everything life has to offer has been such an action packed fun ride!

Once everyone finally comes to grip with the fact that Penny is unique in not just her magic but her personality the action starts full force. Penny is unpredictable, untrained and learns by trial and error. Once you throw Reagan in to the mix, hold on, it becomes a bumpy ride filled with laughs, great banter, hijinks, and raw power & magic. Their combination is the best of everything all in one book!

All my favorite characters add to the mix increasing the laughs, action and in the case of Emery all of that and a bond of strength love and added power. There are a few new characters, too some instantly connect to Penny, saving her life and promise to make the next installment even more intriguing because I know that more kick butt badness, magical mayhem and quick wit zingers on the horizon.

You may want to set aside time to read this in a private place because if you are anything like me you will laugh aloud, scream in horror, yell at the characters to run or unleash depending on the situation and you will not want to put this down until the end!!!

Natural Mage: Magical Mayhem 2

This is another fast moving funny book. voices done extremely well with real character. Loved it.

Loving it

I love the way this series is written.i am loving the characters and getting to know more about them in this end book. The story line is good and fast paced. I love the humour that has been threaded through the story. I so looking forward to the third book when incomes out in audiable.

Good addition to the Regan Somerset story

I enjoy KFs writing and loved the fire and ice series so was looking forward to starting this, I will say the heroine of this series (Penny) is no Regan! More of a Bridget Jones with magic, which to be honest I’m not a fan of- I like my heroines to know their own mind and be tough yet vulnerable rather than just vulnerable. I also do not think I’ve come across a ruder or more unlikable character than Penny’s mother!! The entrance of Regan and Darius saved this series for me and I do love Penny and Regans friendship and would love to see that blossom (female friendships are often forgotten in romance novels but it’s so good to read) I would definitely recommend it to fans of supernatural romance but I’d say read Fire and Ice first. Looking forward to the third book!

Such fun

Another great, fun listen from this series & author. Going to listen to the next one right now.

best yet

I maybe wrong but to me this book is the best yet. Really enjoyed listening, I shall go back and listen to the others of this author that I have. As usual plenty of humour mixed into dire situations, excellent story, dialogue and descriptions. I intended to spread.out the listening over a few days, but the story would not let me switch off. Brilliant.

A fun fantasy series with a good story line

A fun fantasy series with a good story line and well written characters narration is well done as well
