Wendigo Fever: Warden, Book 1

*I received a copy of this audiobook for an honest review*

This was fun to listen to. The characters were pretty well laid out and understandable, and I felt for them. The flow was good and made for an enjoyable experience. When the action really got going, after the cabin (I'll not say more, spoilers!), I found myself tensing up pausing in whatever chore I was doing at the time to listen more closely.

I loved the different creatures that made appearances, and hope for more!

The only thing that really pulled me out of the tale was the overuse of "moreover". It just seemed to be in there a LOT, but then again, it could have just been me! This will only bother you if you're weird like me, though, hahaha.

I think anyone who enjoys magic and adventure would really like this.

Kevin hardmans kid sensation series ranks as one of my favorites also narrated by mikael naramore. The combination of this dynamic duo deliver a one two Punch of great novel and narration. The well written stories are brought to life by a talented voice artist that will pull you even deeper into the story and the lives of the charismatic characters that were created in this ever expanding world. Welcome to a post apocalypse of magic and evil beings of fae. Mythology and magic brought to life and only a handful of wardens standing between civilization and chaos. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

This is a fantasy/horror in my opinion and a short listen. The main character Errol is brother of the Warden and the man who keeps the land safe from horrible creatures. When his brother disappears and the people have problems that need assistance he rises to the occasion. He helps those in peril and also seeks his brother.

What he finds is gruesome, more gruesome than the zombie and revanant, a wendigo. He has to find a way to destroy it even though they can't be killed. By his side is a young lady who insisted on joining him. Together they make a cute team.

There are equal helpings of horror, gore and mystery. The characters are lively and the world building is amazing! I'm definitely checking out the next book in the series.

Nice beginning to the series. Interesting monsters. The narrator did a nice job. I received this audiobook for free through Audiobook Boom for my unbiased review.

Good little story.
It is too short to get any real character development going, but not a bad start

The world is full of creatures that can kill you & people rely on the Wardens to protect them. Tom is a warden & Errol, his younger brother, is a reluctant assistant. Errol's opinion is that being a Warden both the most boring & most dangerous job around!

When Tom leaves on a journey, Errol expects him back in a few days. He puts off doing any Warden activities until he just can't hedge anymore. His first solo job is against a Revenant, a murdered person who is seeking revenge.

With the assistance of his neighbor, Gail, Tom decides to try to find his brother. And, there the adventure begins. Full of creatures that only want to kill them, magic & ingenuity, Errol & Gail encounter probably the scariest creature around: A Wendigo. Incredibly hard to kill & with a hunger for humans that won't stop, will Errol be able to destroy the Wendigo? And, will they find Tom?

An interesting story & very well narrated. I enjoyed the story, the characters and the narration. I was provided the Audible version of this book by the narrator/author/publisher & chose to review it.

Wendigo Fever is a short novel that introduces the book series "Wardens". Wardens are monster hunters trained to deal with monsters and creatures roaming the world.
Intro novel does not go into detail on how these creatures came to the earth, or history of Wardens but focuses on Errol the younger brother to Tom, a Warden. Errol has no interest in becoming a Warden. When his older brother Tom goes missing, Errol is thrown into assuming the duties of his brother as well as investigating his disappearance.

This first book in the series is a short introduction to this world of Wardens and monsters. Though short I felt this book did a great job with pacing and story. The characters are likable yet flawed. The story manages to simultaneously have its own mini story arc and setting up a larger story arc for later books, which left me feeling both satisfied with the story and wanting more.

Mikael Naramore did a wonderful job at narrating, much like he did with Sensation which I also reviewed. distinctive and consistent characters, and good inflection that matches the tone of the story. Looking through his other works I am looking forward to listening to "Of Dice and Men: The Story of Dungeons & Dragons and the People Who Play It"!

I was gifted this audio ARC for a honest and unbiased review from the author/narrator
Kevin Hardman knows how to write a great book about magic, I loved the different creatures that made appearance. I was actually a little surprised at the ending.
I loved Mikael Naramore's narrating of this book. He did a great job with the different male voices fell a bit flat on female voices making them sound old.
This book was rated as a YA fiction but I feel anyone could listen to it. Use your credit towards this book.

from my husband he also says 5 stars all around

The basis for this story is a very interesting one. The idea of having a police force to protect you from magical being, was refreshing. The narrator brought you along in a fascinating and enthusiastic way. This allowed you to live the adventure and not just listen to it. There were several twists in the plot line that kept you guessing as to where the story was going. This made the listening that much more enjoyable. I look forward to the next book in the series.

Hardman and Naramore are both great in the Kid Sensation books, but I think this story and narration fell a little flat. Was pretty easy to like the main characters and I felt if the narration was just a little better this would have been a smoother book. Having said that, this is a quick listen and was enjoyable enough.

I quickly was drawn into the story of Wardens and their dangerous jobs fighting monsters.

The MC, Errol Magnus, was a very believable character. Typical for a teenager, not quite sure what he wants to do with his life. And as a younger sibling, Errol had a difficult time finding his confidence in himself. I found it very applicable to real life.

His male voices were great. Female a bit harder, making them sound older and less attractive than I would believe. Overall, great emotion in the narration. Really felt like I was a part of the story!

no, nothing extreme. It was an action story, so it was thrilling, but no tears. There were funny parts, showing wit and sense of humor. There was a "Ha" here and there, but not a guffawing type of laugh ;)
