Being a normal teenager is hard. For Chance Fortunato, former demon’s apprentice and reforming warlock, it’s almost impossible. On the outs with Shade, his alpha werewolf girlfriend, behind on his magickal studies and still hunted by the Conclave, Chance thinks his life can’t get any worse. But when an empath named Dani asks him to find her missing girlfriend, Chance’s life suddenly spirals out of his control.

Caught by the Conclave, he finds himself facing a Trial by Ordeal. To save himself and his new mentor Dr. Corwyn, Chance must find the stolen Maxilla Asini, a powerful sword that can change the balance of power between the magi and the forces of the Nine Hells. As he searches for the Maxilla and continues his search for the missing girl, he discovers a sinister link between Dani’s abducted girlfriend, the disappearances of other teens in New Essex, and the politics of the local vampire coven. Caught between multiple forces, Chance soon discovers that his only hope may be the missing Maxilla.

With the forces of both good and evil aligned against him, will a bad attitude, the help of his friends and a little faith be enough to help Chance beat the biggest challenge of his life?

​​Rousing adventure story
By movie viewer on August 11, 2015
This story succeeds on several levels. To start with, we have an extraordinary hero. A Romany child sold as a slave to a demon lord who manages to break free after years of abuse.
We have an interesting group of friends surrounding him to aid in his adventures, as well as a wise mentor to guide, teach, and protect him from a overzealous council of wizards who are only too ready to kill him.
Finally, we have an exciting story line to hold our interest, including one of the best car chases I have ever read. It's pretty easy to write a car chase into a movie, where the viewer can easily see the action, but, in a book, the action takes place in the readers imagination. It takes a skilled writer to make the action come alive. Ben Reeder does a great job, both in the car chase and the ensuing battle in the vampire night club.
The real test of a good author is his ability to tell an interesting story. In this book, Ben Reeder passed that test with flying colors.

Wow! This series just keeps getting better and better!
By Amazon Customer on March 2, 2015
Although I am a prolific reader, the number of book reviews I write is few and far between. This series and this second book in particular in the series is an incredible read which I highly recommend to anyone who loves a dark (but humorous) urban fantasy.

If you ever wondered what a 15 year old Harry Dresden might have been like then look no further than Chance Fortunato.

Also, I'd like to call out the deep level of character development of Chance through these two books. I truly felt like I was with him every step of the way. I laughed at his snarky 15 year old thoughts and replies and was in literal tears along with him while reading one particular scene between him and his mother in this second book.

Thank you Mr. Reeder for sharing Chance's story with us, I look forward to reading as many books about Chance as you'll write for us!

These were some of the easiest Five Stars I've given to a book in a long time. :)

Weirdly into this series
By JRR on February 21, 2015
The first few pages had me nervous for one of the book's central relationships, but the author didn't take the easy route. He could've taken a dump on it for easy drama, but he didn't. Always nice to see. Loved the story, loved the characters, loved the cover, loved the pretty much everything. Even the Nazarine who just sort of shows up and starts smashing faces in.

This series is buy on sight for me.
