Mageri, Book 1

De: Dannika Dark

Narrado por: Nicole Poole

Zoë Merrick lived an ordinary life until late one night, she was brutally attacked and left for dead. She survived, saved by a stranger who witnessed her undergo a physical transformation. That's not the only thing that's different. Zoë is unable to control an unexplainable energy coursing through her body.

Justus De Gradi is a man who can teach her that control. He's handsome, arrogant, and not entirely human. He reveals that she is a Mage - an immortal made of light, not magic. She must now make a choice: Rebuild her life in the human world with the man who saved her, or live with Justus and learn how to use her extraordinary gifts. Justus has sworn an oath to protect her life, but can he guard her from the one man who has a right to claim it?

Reseñas de la Crítica

"One of the most balanced stories in terms of darkness, action, romance, and humor that I've read in a long time." (Grave Tells)

Not a big fan of the whisper squeaky screams.

It only happens a few times and isn't enough to detract from the story, but is quite annoying.

5 star for sure

I absolutely loved this book. I had listened to all the Seven Series books and just knew I had to read this series. I am loving it.

She's so whiney

I read the Seven(Dark) series and loved it, so I decided to start this series. I liked the story, but the lead woman drove me nuts. She had so much self pity that it was annoying. At times she got better and it made me start to like her, but then something would happen and back to the self pity, whining, and being an insolent brat I will read the next book in hopes that she grows as a person.

Two things I don't like about this narrator is: 1) she screeches; and 2) when someone "whispers" in the book, she talks so low you can't hear what she's saying.

I really like this book

I really like this book . The others in the series not so much. But it started off good.

loved it

a little slow in the beginning but worth it in the end. loved the book

Good Introduction to a amazing world

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. It’s a great book full of adventure and intrigue. A great start to a amazing series.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Silver. She is a resilient courageous charecter. And can be a little dorky and funny which I like.

Which character – as performed by Nicole Poole – was your favorite?

She does a great job with all the characters but Silver is my favourite.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Trying to be spoiler free. The challenge at the end.

Any additional comments?

This is the first book to this world. There are two other series by this Author. She recommends Starting with this series then Seven then Crossbreed. All her series are in the Mageri World. Not knowing the reading order I actually read the Seven series first. It’s a really, really good series too. But so you get a good handle on the Breed world I recommend like the Author sugests that you read this series the Mageri first. There is also a series cross over with book 4 in the Seven series. This book is a great slow introduction to the Breed World and all its complexities. You’ll get sucked into this amazing New World like I did and not want to leave.

pleasantly surprised

Great story and great natration only complaint is that I could have used a little more details of the scenes and characters.

Excellent writing excellent narration!

This book was full of twists and turns and at times brought tears to my eyes! Can't wait to hear what is next!!

A Little Slow, But Worth It

A little slow to start for me but I stuck it out and I'm glad I did, the characters really develop toward the end. Sometimes the narrator's inflection didn't seem quite right but it wasn't horrible. I already got the second one and can't wait to start it.

great books

another great beginning to this series and I can't get enough I love these books
