Story
Though I was born with the ability to see the dead, I struggled with it until my brother was killed and his ghost was left behind. Now, I’m determined to figure out who is responsible for his death…the problem is that Detective Maddox Booker, the one working the case, is a grumpy and stubborn man who wants nothing to do with me and definitely doesn’t believe in ghosts. It doesn’t help that I keep finding myself looking ridiculous in front of the detective, thanks to interfering ghosts who enjoy laughing at my expense.

Story
It’s really hard to pretend like life is normal when you’re staring a monster in the eyes, though he’s both tempting and irritating in his human form. I put my days as a hunter behind me, unable to cope with the death and pain anymore, to become an upstanding citizen and for what? To assist Lake, a man who claims he’s not a monster but keeps talking about me like I’m edible and–even worse–wants to woo me?

Lochlann Wilde walks in the shadow of his father, a legendary summoner who commanded mythical beasts in battle. But Locke isn't legendary. He’s barely a summoner, never passing his academy’s trial of the elements. And then he accidentally summons a fae prince with a beautiful body and a bad attitude.

My whole life, I’ve been taught to despise shifters. So when I’m hired to track two escaped convicts, I’m suddenly thrust into the world I hate - or thought I did. Yet I’m inexplicably drawn to the alpha of the pack, whose land the convicts may be hiding on. He’s different than any shifter I've ever met - laidback and quick to laugh, caring, and protective. As secrets are revealed, I start to wonder if everything I’ve been raised to believe was a lie, though it may not matter, because it seems like someone wants us dead.

When I gave up life as a hitman, I thought everything was going to be better. I was going to become a PI, help people, and live normally…and then I met Jeremy, the most perfect man to have ever saved my life (I mean, he might be the only one who has saved my life, but he’s still the best at it). From that point on, it was all over for me - I knew we were meant to be. The issue is that he doesn’t…quite seem to realize that. But when he’s targeted by criminals (literally, someone just shot at his head), he needs to rely on someone, so why not me?

Smart men never dabble with demons. I never claimed to be smart, but at least, I’m powerful enough to control them. When I bound Havoc to me nearly 300 years ago, I never realized how difficult he’d make my life, although “accidentally” lighting him on fire every now and then does bring a smile to my face. Havoc is handsome, mysterious, and somehow, my closest companion, even if we don’t always get along.

“You are the savior of mankind” are the last words I ever expected to hear while nibbling on fries. The thing is, I’m not mankind saving material. I don’t even have magic (and just found out it exists). I’m the most boring, normal(ish) human ever. Suddenly, I’m being tossed right into the middle of a fight that started years before I was even born, and then I get partnered up with Alastair, a quirky magical Guardian. He is rather attractive and sweet when he’s not into the whole “woe is me, I can’t let myself fall in love with you” nonsense.

Publisher's Summary
A lost fox. A gorgeous ghost. And an unlikely partnership to stop a murderer.
Since his mother's murder, Sage McKinley doesn’t live, he exists. His weak magic has made him an outcast, shadowing his life with self-doubt. All that changes when the spirit of a gunslinger appears in his bookstore with a message that will flip Sage’s world upside down. According to the mesmerizing apparition, a powerful magic lies within Sage...if he can find a way to tap into it.
But dastardly threats accompany this untapped power. Bodies are piling high as a killer hunts for the secrets of the mage that now course through Sage’s veins. Can Sage find the confidence to embrace all he’s capable of? Or will the next life snuffed out be his own?

Really enjoyed this new to me author.
So, where do I begin? The worldbuilding was spot on. Sage was likeable, Gideon was fascinating and Fluke was fun. The story moved along at a nice pace with the suspense just perfect. In other words, I really liked the story.
Joel's narration while good, wasn't great. I didn't like the voice he used for Gideon AT ALL! It was nasally and not deep like you would expect considering the size of man Gideon was. Maybe he had allergies. lol
Overall, this audiobook is worth the credit/price. I was so drawn in that I finished it quickly so I'll be going back for a relisten.

Another Excellent Burns
I cannot stop singing Joel Leslie's narration skills. He is a master of his craft and so emotive it is shocking he has not wom twice the awards he already has. His voice is excellent however, as ever he does go quite fast. If you find yourself troubler by him, slow down the recording to around 85% and you will get a more traditional, theatrical narration.
Ah Sam Burns. Sam is a balm to an aching heart. Sam is the warm hug after hard work. She is light hearted with her conflicts. This story is no different, instead she focuses on the emotions of her characters. She wants us to adore them as much as she adores them. She wants us to feel their pain, their loss, their grief, and their anxiety but does it in a way that does not overwhelm the reader.
This world is richer and more fully fleshed out than Rowan Harbor. This is not a fault of RH but rather because this work is much more focused on one type of magic. While earlier Sam Burns novels focused on variety and diversity, this one focuses on the individual path to acceptance. This book's strength is the "I am broken but I will heal myself. I am strong" whereas previous titles were "We are strong because we are together." There is something beautiful in this individual treatment. However Sam in her greatness does not shy away from forcing the characters to make allies. She intrinsically knows that while we must be strong no person is an island. We only have to ask.
There is so little to criticize in this piece that my only real critique is that next installment is not already in my possession.
Thank you, Sam, for being you and for writing the way you do.

Narrator Joel Leslie is PERFECT for M/M fantasy!😍
Darn writer Sam Burns! She got me tied all up in emotional knots with yet another truly lovely novel. This story forms the basis of what promises to be an exceptionally delightful series, checking so very many of the boxes readers expect from an M/M action and adventure fantasy romance. I must admit to listening to the audiobook on three separate occasions in less than a month because the story is so well imagined!
In 'The Fantastic Fluke, Book 1', we meet Sage McKinley all alone at the funeral of his father. His monologue is rather heartbreaking as it becomes clear to readers he was an unappreciated son. We later learn that he witnesses the murder of his mother and it is her death that lands him with his callous father whose approval he could never earn. Rating only two's during his magical assessment at school, Sage suffers the shame of being a weak magician when born to two much stronger parents.
Sage screws up his courage to intervene when a fox was being mistreated by two brutes. Much to his chagrin, the fox follows him home and proves to be too smart to be anything other than a witch's familiar. He is both relieved and delighted when no familiar has been reported stolen or missing but it takes Gideon Marsh, a gunslinger ghost, to convinces him that he possesses powerful magic and that the fox is his. With Gideon's help, Sage learns to tap into the power of the Convergence--a sentient entity tied to the intersection of three separate and distinct ley lines.
As the story progresses, Sage has the pleasure of expanding the bookstore left to him by his father by going into business with his best friend Beez, adding to the inventory, offering new services, and doing a little remodeling. He gets acquainted with his maternal grandmother and learns a bit about his mother's side of the family. He becomes more confident in his worth as a friend, store owner, and magic practitioner, going so far as to try to save a dying man when others stood passively by. When the enemies strike out in a one-two punch that would have left all but the bravest faint-hearted, Sage (bitching the ENTIRE time) stands willing to fight! God, I LOVED it!
The story is quite a gem--I'm talking a ten-carat diamond, folks. The world-building is incredible as the writer invests time in developing a milieu for the existence of magic practitioners and the governance of those possessing such gifts and powers. The rationale for Sage's challenges with both foes was firmly in place before they came to the foreground in the narrative. And talk about character growth! Oh, how Sage grows in this book! He blossoms in every way imaginable with the death of his father, the arrival of Fluke his fox familiar, and the tutelage of Gideon Marsh. With the romance aspects of the book, the writer skates on rather thin ice and comes through with a gold medal-winning love story when Sage's power makes it possible for the ghost Gideon to become corporeal. I did NOT see that happening! Well done, Sam Burns! Well done!

Super entertaining
I took a chance on a new author and was very happy with it. The narrator was good and the writing style was entertaining. This was a great pick-me-up gay romance with Actual Plot(TM). I enjoyed all the subtle nods to pop nerd culture. Sam Burns is going to be one of my go-to authors now for when I’m feeling down.

I picked this up because Joel Leslie narrated it, and as usual I wasn't disappointed. I've not read Sam Burns before, but the story was entertaining (although the ending felt a bit rushed), the characters likeable and I was happily lost in Sage and Flukes story for a few hours - I look forward to their next adventure.

Amazing book can't wait for the second one
Every time I I went to the Kindle Store this book cover with pop up. However I constantly kept overlooking it I don't know why the cover was an amazing artistic rendering. But for some reason it just didn't draw me the way I thought it would given the type of genre I read. However when I saw the book was made into an audiobook and notice that Joel Leslie was the narrator I couldn't pass up the opportunity so I ended up getting it. And boy was I grateful it was an amazing book narrated by one of my favorite narrators and Sam Burns is also one of my favorite authors as well. I cannot wait for the second to come on audio I really wish you didn't leave off on a cliffhanger but it just makes you more anxious to read or listen to the next in the series. So hurry on up and produced second book because I know I'll be getting it.

Am I alone here?
Maybe it’s me… but I really could not tolerate this narration. I’ve never given up on an audiobook but this one I really couldn’t handle. I know everyone has different tastes, but this narrator isn’t for me…
Not only that though, the story it’s self didn’t really hold my attention the way I hoped it would. I might continue on, since the rest are narrated by Zachary Johnson whom I love, so we will see!

Magic, mystery, romance
This new series from Sam Burns is an incredible mix of magic, adventure, mystery and romance.
Sages's story is a heartbreaking one but as he says, he does his best and makes do with what he has because that is the Sage way and is amazing.
I love Joel Leslie. He is one of the best narrators out there with incredible performances and it's always a treat hearing him narrate my favorite stories, like this one. Sometimes though very emotional stories like this one, especially if I have read them first, don't have the same impact, maybe because of my frame of my mind or finding that the narration lacks that that much needed emotional punch, I don't know, but this is what happened here as well.
Still though give it a try because it really is a marvellous story.

based upon suggestions and reviews, i should have loved this book. could not listen to the reader. some will no doubt enjoy him ... but listen to the sample in case you might have the same reaction. giving 3 stars to a book i cannot listen to because not fair to penalize the author.

love the story, will probably read the next
the narrator's voice irritated me with his raspy, nasaly tone throughout that sounds like the stuck up type, but the story more than made up for it. I'm excited for the next book.
