Otto Shenk is the youngest son of a minor baron. He's also a wizard. Abused by his family and considered less than human by his kingdom, Otto does his best to survive. But everything changes when Otto stumbles across a tower hidden deep in a dark part of the forest near his home. A tower that was once the home of an Arcane Lord, the immortal wizards that long ago ruled the world. Otto’s life will be changed forever. And so will the world.

Ashlock wakes in the courtyard of a demonic sect... as a tree. A tree that eats people. An odd start to a new life. Almost as strange as the humans flying through the skies on flaming swords and challenging the heavens. After all, this is a world where humans could chase the goal of immortality through the art of cultivation. But Ashlock is merely a sapling in a desolate courtyard, left alone with his thoughts and unable to speak to those passing him by. Unless he does something about it.

Publisher's summary
With magic, nothing's impossible.
Everyone knew it was impossible for men to do magic, until it happened.
Conryu Koda is a young man of modest ambition. All he wants is to work on bikes and practice Kung Fu. His modest dreams die on the day of The Testing when it's revealed he has wizard potential.
When the Department of Magic announces that a male wizard has been found it draws the attention of the Le Fay Society, a radical group of wizards that view men as little better than animals and Conryu as an abomination. The Society will stop at nothing to see Conryu dead.

And to do so, he'll have to take jobs of a less than legal nature.

The job was simple: decapitate the zombie, get paid, get out. Warlock Marcus Shifter followed the plan perfectly. The corpse, however, did not. Now there's a body on the loose, accusations of illegal necromancy are flying, and the answers are waiting in the perilous alleys between the mortal and paranormal worlds. They're no place for someone who mostly gave up magic after a childhood accident. And given his tendency to shoot off his mouth and his Glock, Marcus is having a hell of a time digging up more than just bodies. When an apocalypse-minded megalomaniac threatens Marcus's family, things get personal.

The Earth is under siege - and no one knows about it because the invaders erase those whom they consume. A handful of men and women stand on the border between the mundane and the magical. They have a special spark of soul - not quite enough to be naturally gifted in spellcraft but greater than the average person, a tiny flame that can ignite incredible potential. They possess the ability to fight back against the Vorid: the ability to become a Contractor.

Bodyguard Celia Graves has definitely accepted her share of weird assignments, both human and supernatural. But her newest job takes the cake. Guarding a prince from terrorists and religious fundamentalists is hard enough, but it seems like the entire supernatural world is after this guy too. When she is betrayed by those she is employed to help, and everything goes horribly wrong, Celia wakes to find herself transformed.

My name's Cesar Hawke. I'm a witch working for a division of the government you've never heard about. The world's not what everyone thinks it is - unless you think that our world's a pawn in a game of chess between Heaven and Hell, and riddled with as much magic and wonder as it is with evil. In that case, the world is exactly what you think. My place of employment - the Office of Preternatural Affairs - takes a modern approach to an ages-old problem.

The last thing patrol cop Kate Prospero expected to find on her nightly rounds was a werewolf covered in the blood of his latest victim. But then, she also didn't expect that shooting him would land her in the crosshairs of a Magic Enforcement Agency task force, who wants to know why she killed their lead snitch. The more Prospero learns about the dangerous new potion the MEA is investigating, the more she's convinced that earning a spot on their task force is the career break she's been wanting. But getting the assignment proves much easier than solving the case.

The Dresden Files for 9 year olds
I was looking for some books to replace the Dresden Files or The Iron Druid and stumbled across this series. it sounded like an interesting concept and the characters are not too bad the problem is the writer struggles to make the story so safe for very young readers that it becomes ridiculous. unless you're under 12 don't waste your time

I really enjoyed these books, although I will admit that the first book should really probably be half of the first book. The narrator on the other hand should be replaced.

held my attention completely
The Impossible Wizard: Aegis of Merlin Series, Book 1 by James E. Wisher and narrated by Joe Hempel is the first in a trilogy of books. The author has crafted a new and complex world created where magic is real and it can only be wielded by women. Creating a strongly matriarchal society that wields powers in government and all sectors of society. In the last year of school all students are tested for magical potential, even boys, this year one boy named Conry Koda upsets the apple cart by having the highest potential for magic ever.
Conryu is as upset by this as those in the Department of Wizards. Who either views him as proof of their pet theories of wizardry or other view him as an aberration that should not exist. His plans for a simple life of going to a technical school and going to work in a repair shop are gone. If it is at this point you’re thinking Harry Potter nope thing is nothing of the sort. I like the world we have it is a huge world and the book has a massive cast of characters.
This can be problematic for some people because in the world building we don’t focus the entire story on who we believe to be the main character Conryu. There are a few subplots that are followed and might be of less interest to the casual listener. It is all part of the world building by the author putting things in place in the narrative for the other books in the series. The book held my attention and I really had a hard time putting it down and take the headphones off. I really enjoyed this world created by Mr. Wisher. The concepts, characters, and action in the story held my attention completely. This is one of those books for me I shocked it over so fast the 6 plus hours just flew by.
The narration is provided by Joe Hempel. Mr. Hempel provides an outstanding vocal performance in this audiobook. He not only delivering a compelling narration but also provides a range of vocal character’s interpretations. Each character was recognizable with their own unique voices done in a natural manner. The production quality by Tantor was top of the line as always they never fail to produce a high-quality audio product. Not a single glitch, hiss, or pop that this listener was able to hear.
Audiobook was provided for review by the narrator.
