About this listen

Orson Reid: college freshman, gamer, and quite possibly the legendary boogeyman of the magical world. And you thought your life was weird.

It all started the night Orson kissed his best friend, Elyse, and she kissed him back. Yes, the kiss was life-changing, but in ways Orson never could have imagined. It seems he contracted a "virus" that is making him taller, faster, and stronger. But his life doesn't go completely off the rails until the night Elyse shows up at his house, strips out of her clothes, and shape-shifts into a giant cat - a panther, to be exact.

Now, instead of preparing for his freshman year of college, Orson is tossed head first into a world where shape-shifters, magic, and monsters are real. A world ruled by the secretive Paragon Society, a group that enforces magical law with brutal efficiency.

And if all that wasn't enough for one guy to deal with, Orson may just be the Ollphiest, the legendary monster that even monsters fear.

The whole series is fantastic, my new favourite. Narration was perfect, as was the writing. They just come together Perfectly. I usually listen to the freebies whilst doing monotonous chores (let’s face it freebies are usually as poorly written as 50 shades) this book was wonderful as was all of them. Only the second author out of 500+ titles that has made me sit and do nothing but LISTEN to the whole narrative (2nd being Charlie holmberg star mother series).
So thank you David for some amazing books.. please write some more.. very soon! Although my buttocks and cheap dfs couch will not thank you for the stagnant listening!!!!

Free! Are you mad? I’d have paid for every book.

Not my usual genre, however was looking for a plus catalogue title to see me to my next credit. Thoroughly enjoyed an easy listen! Will be downloading the next in series.

Great listen

Great characters, interesting story. A bit of tragedy and a good cliffhanger for the next book.
Can’t wait to read the next one.
Really different. Well done.

Loved it

Like many I only began listening as it was free, not my usual genre so was pleasantly surprised when I began to be fully immersed and now I’m hooked! My only complaint would be that the stories are quite short.

I am hooked
