About this listen

I live by one simple rule: no magic. Not too hard in the human world, plus it keeps me hidden from my evil sorcerer father. Safe.

When I’m forced into using magic to save an innocent family, the jig is up. Or so I believe. Instead, I’m whisked off to an academy of magic in a place I never knew existed. The problem is - my power is completely raw, which means I don’t know my butt from a broomstick. At first, it's all wands, witches, and a new wardrobe...until I get caught in a restricted area with a dead body. Now, it's going to take more than magic to clear my name.

Thanks to new friends and a magically delicious vampire called Gray, I don't have to fly solo anymore. I'm out of my depth and out of options. Can I catch a killer before it's too late, or am I doomed to live a life on the run?

Outcast: Spellslingers Academy of Magic, the first audiobook of the Warden of the West series, is a fantasy mystery with humor, action, a powerful heroine, and a fang-tastic hero.

Good story very similar to spellbound mysteries. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

Good.

I really wanted to like this more as I'm looking for a new series, but it fell a little flat. It's...fine? Nice premise, interesting magic etc, but it feels a little thin, a little cliché. It's riddled with tropes - the bad boy vamp with a dark past, the orphaned girl who doesn't know how powerful she is. I can go with all that, but the story just wasn't well constructed. The "detective story" which forms the main plot is simply the lead and her friends going to one person who tells them something, which leads them to another person who tells them something, there's no real effort or investigating, just people spilling various portions of beans. Also, her group of friends seem to function only as plot devices with little investment in or exploration of the relationships. The 'bad boy' is basically nice and helpful without much character beyond that. It's sadly a pass for me.

Not Great
