Plot Summary
‘Cause sometimes luck ain’t enough
In the year since the Whisperer’s attack, I’ve been busting my hump to become my best wizard, like my father. Now I’m ready for a test.
When a dark mage starts planting infernal bags around New York City, I get my wish. Like time bombs, the bags detonate without warning, spawning demonic beings that rip the souls of innocents from their bodies. And the attacks are accelerating.
Meanwhile, a new wizard has come to town. A recent addition to the Order, Pierce is everything I’m not: refined, self-assured, and adept at magic. He even has Detective Vega blushing. If riling my resentment wasn’t enough, he’s trying to shoulder me out of my own case, stoking my suspicions.
With the race to stop the dark mage growing more desperate by the minute, I need to prove that I’m the wizard to get it done – not Pierce. And without relying on my luck quotient.
That saying about being careful what you wish for?
It’s there for a reason.
Audiobook Review
Prof. Croft: Black Luck Audiobook mp3 has a good wizard story where the main character is well developed. Another awesome adventure with my favorite beleaguered Down but not out underdog with a hero hidden inside, Prof. Croft.
Brad Magnarella reminds me of a Star Wars author, Drew Karpyshyn. He puts his characters through hell and they still find a way to save the day. A story doesn’t work unless you are invested in the characters, and Brad does this so well. I found myself cringing every time Croft suffered the adverse effects of Black luck.
There are 2 new characters introduced, the magic teacher being one, which spices up Croft’s personal life and I hope they have much more page time in future stories.
About the narration, I really liked the performance. James Patrick Cronin has a good voice to listen to and brings a sense of pace to the book that I really enjoyed. He is the best narrator I have personally listened to! I think his voice also sounds great for the character of the Prof Croft series.
If you have listened to the first 4 and aren’t sure trust me you will want to listen to this 4th audiobook. Can’t wait to see where it goes after this!
