The Magic Wakes

The Magic Wakes Series, Book 1

De: Charity Bradford

Narrado por: Ian McEuen

Talia has a secret that will save her world or rip it apart.

Scientist Talia Zaryn has always dreamt of an alien invasion and her own death. She's kept it secret, hoping it is nothing more than childish nightmares. However, when the face in the mirror matches that of her dreams, she fears she's out of time.

Talia's work at the Space Exploration Foundation leaves no time for relationships, but Landry Sutton isn't looking for a friend. He's looking for a traitor. His ability to sense emotions convinces him Talia is the traitor until a touch sizzles between them. In an instant, their minds are connected telepathically.

Together they must uncover the secrets of Sendek's past if they hope to defeat the terrifying creatures descending on their world. Talia is the key - if she can learn to trust the magic coursing through her veins.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Charity Bradford is one of the best new voices in science fiction." (Michael Offut, sci-fi author, Slipstream and Oculus)

"...science fiction meets fantasy meets romance, and it was blended beautifully." (Alicia Rivoli, fantasy author, Mere Enchantment)

I Am Certain That This Story Should Continue

For starters, I have not come across this genre since “Dragonriders”. And this is the first audiobook since “Harry Potter” that I have reviewed. So let me tell you that this is a fine addition to lend an ear too. Simply because the heroine is just quirky enough to keep me entertained and the pace has me hooked.

Sci-fi & Fantasy well blended

The characters had great chemistry. Dragons, spaceships, and magic. A great futuristic fantasy that I enjoyed a great deal.

MAGICAL ALIEN WORLD

A WOMEN WHO SEES HER OWN END AND THAT OF HER WORLD. A DARK FORCE WITH EVERY INTENTION OF ENDING EVERYTHING.
NARRATOR WAS GREAT!

I loved this story

Talia lived a life of sadness. Loosing her whole family was bad enough. Add a set of unforgettable eyes & she is destined for greater things. When Landry came into her life I hoped it would get better for her. Then the loss of her adorable pet was the beginning of her adventure. She fought monsters, gathered a mass of mages & woke up a dragon. Great story that I highly reccomendl. I also really liked the narrator. Fantastic job.

BOOK 1 WAS REALLY GOOD. LOVED IT

LISTENERS REALLY NEED TO HEAR TO BOOK 1 BEFORE BOOK 2. EVEN THOUGH EACH DOES STAND ALONE. THEY DO EDGE TOWARD A CLIFF HANGER WITH THE DRAMA, INTRIGUE AND SUSPENCE.

ACCEPTABLE FOR TEENS AND UP.

NARRATOR IS GREAT AND EASY TO FOLLOW.

Fantasy with Sci-Fi elements

Talia and Landry start out as adversaries but realize they'll have to trust each other in order to defeat the enemy who would destroy their world. This first book brings back the magic which had been banned, and replaced by technology. In the end, hundreds of the magically enabled are free to use their talents and teach others. I think that will be a problem to be solved in Book 2.

An engaging romance w/ fantasy and sci-fi elements

Charity Bradford writes an engaging romance with fantasy and sci-fi elements. I don't typically read romances but the premise seemed interesting and I'm glad I did. The wide range of characters are well developed, the scenarios are interesting, and the overall world is an interesting mix of fantasy and sci-fi. I look forward to reading book 2! Audio Version: Ian McEuen does a great job narrating this novel.

Exciting Sci-Fi Fantasy

I enjoyed this first book in "The Magic Wakes" series. Charity Bradford has written a creative story about a female scientist who has nightmare of an alien invasion and the man who is looking for the members of the organization that are traitors to the government. The world building was fascinating. The tale moved forward with plenty of action, flashes of humor, and some romance. I am looking forward to the next book in the series. Ian McEuen's narration was great and enhanced the story. I was given a free copy of the audiobook and I have voluntarily posted this review.

Fun YA Fantasy Sci-fi Romance

I was pleasantly surprised at how much fun this book was. The summary came off a bit creepy with the mirror and the dream/prophecy side of it but it really was much different than I was expecting. This is a about a young woman who has been having dreams of her death since early childhood. There's magic that's not understood and a looming threat that must be uncovered. It really has a bit of a thriller aspect to it and yes romance as well. It is a very clean read, the romance gets into some heavy kissing but that's it, I honestly don't remember any bad language. The only warning is with the violence, if you are the squeamish type there are a few scenes that may really bother you. The narration was great and definitely added to the story. If you like fantasy, sci-fi, magic, dragons, and adventure then get this book it really is a fun mix of them all! Now I just need book 2!

Awesome Listen

I loved this story! The Narration was spot on throughout the whole book. The story was well written and kept you engaged the whole time. The main characters went thru a lot together to help their world get rid of the bad guys. The introduction of other magic users who helped in this endeavor was awesome. I look forward to the next book.
