Summary

At 15, Chance Fortunato has seen more evil than most people ever will. Indentured by his father to the demon count Dulka, he's been taught dark magic and forced to do his infernal master's dirty work for eight years. But now Chance has figured out a way to defeat his master and free himself.

His new life with his mother and sister is far from easy, and freedom has its own perils. Normal life is hard enough, but even in a mundane-looking high school, there are paranormal threats from both sides of the mystical fence. 

When his new mentor is murdered, Chance knows he is the only one who can track the killer down. To bring his mentor's killer to justice, Chance will have to fight evil on its own terms and discover if that makes him a hero...or a monster.

Terrific story

I couldn’t put it down. Fantastic premise, brilliantly realized. A very entertaining performance. I can’t wait for the follow up.

Typical YA new kid in school

Typical YA new kid in school narrative with magic. But very pleasant to read for all that.

Pleasantly surprised

Well read with good narration and characterisation. I thought it was going to be yet another supernatural teen angst story with elements of darkness, but it turned out to be a thoroughly enjoyable listen. The main protagonist is likable in a deadpool sort of way, but feels bad about his actions when pushed to do something he's trying to get away from. Having listened to this book I'm seriously considering going forward in the series.

surprise

An unexpected gem.
Written well and narrated fantastically, this was a genuine surprise in a genre featuring teens. The narrative isn't soppy and flat just because most of the important characters are minors. The kids characters are fleshed out brilliantly in sometimes horrific details that you could imagine it was real life.
Hope it stays this good!

Not bad, not amazing either

have read and listened to worse, was interesting enough for me to want the next book at least, wasn't a huge fan of the narrator, and the story felt like a knock off twilight though.

Easy listening but enough magic to be interesting

The story is I would say aimed towards the twilight series sort of fan base. The bad boy lead, the side characters.
It has enough magic thrown in to make it interesting and flow. Some twists and turns and the odd use of bad language makes this for a bit more adult audience.
its been enjoyable enough and working on book 2.
the narrator obviously had breaks during reading this you notice that he forgets to slip into the lead when he restarts. apart from that does a decent job.

Reminds me of Dresden Files

More like the young adult version. It becoles more apparent in book two. The main caracter is cool but is a little to naive at times however in the book he's 15 so it sort of fits. Short of easy going hero story with dark elements. Performance is good.

Bootleg Dresden Files

There are so many similarities between this and Jim Butcher’s work in the content and character, I can’t help but think the author is a Dresden files fan. The quality is no where near Butcher’s level though. The story was predictable (but enjoyable),
