About this listen

After hundreds of years of dying, you'd think I would've perfected it by now....

One moment I'm a heretical priest in the twelfth century, hunted, hated...the next, I'm waking up in the nearest corpse. Stuck in a cycle of instant reincarnation, popping back up like a tarnished penny.

Fast forward 800 years, and you might think I’ve learned a thing or two. Nope. All I've learned is how to die far too easily, far too often.

Now my territory in the South of France is under threat and I find myself trapped by impossible angel-made runes. If the angels have gone full red lightsaber evil, it might not only be my territory in danger, but the whole of reality itself....

I need to stop whoever is behind this, and now. After all, you can’t come back to life, if there’s nothing left to come back to.

imPerfect Magic is the first book in The imPerfect Cathar series, a darkly funny supernatural suspense following a trio of immortal heretics. If you can't wisecrack while death is on the line? Well...perhaps you're not dying right.

This book contains strong language, dark humor, and graphic violence.

The narration was garbled, difficult and badly paced. I couldn't get past the first chapter. Perhaps I'll try the book instead.

Poor narration.

Loved this book. Intense, but still entertaining fantasy with some folklore and history I'd never known about. Can't wait for more of this series.
Also, the author made a great narrator. You can tell he's really passionate about his material.

Fun, fresh and a little bit Freaky

Not only well written, but incredibly well narrated too. I really enjoyed this. It's the first time I've ever left a review, I don't usually bother, but this audiobook was one of the best (if not the best) I've ever heard. well done! just downloaded the next 1 as the first one was ending!

Brilliant!

Great storyline, loved the characters, in fact loved everything about this book and will be getting the next one asap. The fact the author is narrating gives you an interesting perspective of how they would like you to see their characters and I can see this series developing into one of my favs

Brilliant read
