About this listen
Author's Revised Edition
Donovan DeChance is a collector of ancient manuscripts and books, a practicing mage, and a private investigator. Over the span of a long life, he has gathered and archived the largest occult library in the world.
When a local houngan begins meddling with powers she may not be able to control, a turf war breaks out between the Dragons motorcycle club and the Los Escorpiones street gang - a war that threatens to open portals between worlds and destroy the city in the process.
With his lover, Amethyst, his familiar, Cleo - an Egyptian Mau the size of a small bobcat - the dubious aid of a Mexican sorcerer named Martinez and the budding gifts of a young artist named Salvatore, DeChance begins a race against time, magic, and almost certain death.
The fate of the city rests on his success, and on the rare talent of a boy who walks in two worlds, and dreams of dragons.

All in all though, a good listen, lots of interesting things happening and well narrated.
This is my honest opinion of a free review copy.

It is the ‘lite’ part that knocks it back as DeChance is an interesting enough character, but lacks a little depth. I’d personally have liked a bit more backstory with him and Amethyst. In concentrating early on with Jake and Snake I felt by the end an opportunity had been missed and one or the other of the bikers would have been preferable.
Martinez was enigmatic, and the most impressive character was Salvatore to my surprise. He seems a little naive, but the articulation of his skillset raised the storyline with its turfwar backdrop. That turfwar seemed to escape the muggles a little easily, but there were some entertaining chase sequences with the familiar stealing the show.
If you like urban fantasy, this is a solid and workmanlike production. It took me a while to connect with the narrator, although I got through the last half pretty quick when it came together at the end with a couple of neat twists and the potential to see the characters again. Pacy ear fodder.
