Devon Sanders, a private investigator known for his efficiency and discretion, is determined to become a master wizard. He returns to the paranormal university ready to learn magic and uncover the history of the castle. Unfortunately, life at Quintessence is never that easy.

When a student dies of no apparent cause, the search for a witness leads Devon to discover there are more secrets buried under Quintessence than he ever realized. In order to save the paranormal world he is now part of, he will face an enemy that can use his own power against him. Devon must rely on more than his exceptional intuition to solve this case.

Magic is elemental.

the story is good.

I like this series. But I do need to tell anyone who reads this to speed the narration up quite a bit. if you do that then his voice doesn't have time to do the annoying way over dramatic things he does. It makes a huge difference.

Loved it, most on a run, voice talent great, he evolves from 1 to 2

loved every second

Would you listen to Hungry Earth again? Why?

Yes I will be listening to it again! I love supernatural stories and this one is well written and I enjoy listening to this narrator. I hope there are more books in this series.

Have you listened to any of Todd Menesses’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes I have, this is just as good as his other performances. I hope to find more from him. I enjoy listening to him. He's easy to listen to and follow and understand what is happening in the book.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No it was not a book you want to listen to in one sitting. It's far to long, I recommend this over a span of 5-8 days if you are trying to rush it. I like to enjoy my books and typically on the way to work or lunch breaks.

Any additional comments?

This book is a lot like harry potter meets twilight crossed with a mystery. I am overly excited to have book two in audio and I hope there are more in the works. The elemental series is well written and captivating to the point you don't want to turn off the story to go to bed, you want to keep listening find out what happens next. I especially love that they are at a school for supernatural adults and I wish I had powers of some sort and be written into the story, just wake up and be IN the story.

Good continuation from the first book.

If I had to say, ifronuld be my opinion that the first and second book in his series were written pretty much at the same time. I am looking forward to a third book?

Hated the narrator.

Any additional comments?

It is a good, fun story, but the narration drove me crazy. He was good at the lesser characters, but on his Devon voice, the inflection was all wrong. You'd think doom was coming at every turn.
