About this listen

Breaking curses. Battling witchcraft. Revenge. All in a day's work for Ozzy Turner, folk wizard.

Is a witch throwing curses your way? Something scary scratching at your window in the night? Then, I've got just the charm for you.

Mostly, though, I find things. Lost treasures, missing loved ones...if you need something found, I'm your guy.

So, when a grieving father hired me to track down a family heirloom stolen by a sticky-fingered hobgoblin, I was happy to help.

No one was supposed to wind up dead. Especially not me. But they made a mistake when they put a bullet in my stomach and left me for the worms. They didn't bury me deep enough....

If you like Jim Butcher, Kevin Hearne, Shayne Silvers, M.D. Massey, or Orlando A. Sanchez, then you'll love taking a trip to the sleepy town of Lost Falls, where not everything is as it seems.

A slow start but it soon picked up pace. Not my usual book selection but I liked it, thought it was very entertaining and a good read. I suppose one thing that sometimes puts me off books in this genre is that the subject matter, vampires, goblins etc can be written for a certain age group. But this was well written, well thought out and with a lot of knowledge as Chris immerses you into his fantasy world. I liked that the focus of the book wasn't just about casting spells and charms, but that it was also submerged in mystery with a feeling that the storyline could lead in any direction at any time as the story unfolds. It also didn't include typical characters like in some books of this genre which always include vampire and werewolf main leads. The narrator did a good job overall, sometimes I wondered how he managed the high pitched hobgoblins voice, while reverting back to the very calm 'Ozzy' voice, with the 'Dealers' voice being very creepy. Considering what 'Ozzy' goes through within the story I thought his voice was a little too calm and laid back for my liking. I was given a copy of this book for free of my own choosing and have voluntarily left this review.

This is what happens when you trade with a Dealer

Cunning Devil, the first book in the Lost Falls series, is a cleverly composed urban fantasy. The storyline is well-written, fascinating, suspenseful, and action-packed, loaded with twists and turns. Chris Underwood is an excellent storyteller with an incredible imagination. He has done a brilliant job with the world-building, an essential element in the paranormal genre. Ozzy Turner, the main character, is compelling, canny, and engaging; I liked how his mind works.

Gary Bennett is a talented narrator, well-paced, and precise. His inflexions entirely suited the situations and characters — especially Ozzy, he sounded exactly how imagined him.
