About this listen
If you discovered a world of magic existed just beyond the reach of ordinary people, would you be willing to risk everything to explore its secrets?

As she and her newfound friends search for the truth about a world of magic just out of view, the real question is, can Charlie accept the last thing she ever expected to happen? For the first time ever, she’s fitting in.

He once swore he’d marry me—but now he’s desperate for my ruin. Caleb Asher has everything he could ever want. He’s rich, hotter than sin, captain of the hockey team and king of the school. My return to Emery-Rose Elite derails him. I am the walking reminder of everything that went wrong in his childhood and mine. While I long to be invisible, to slip through school unnoticed, he forced the opposite. He wants my fear, my fight, my pain, all out in the open.

Story
You have unlocked the world of Auntie’s Attic and a peculiar set of keys. “Well Kept Storage For Needs Big And Small.” The slogan seems benign. The circumstances, not so much. You’ve received one of the keys. White as bleached bone and slick as lies, your key unlocks a storage room. Inside you’ll find an object that could lead you anywhere, but wherever you go, you cannot return.

Story
People are dying in the town of Sycamore. A string of grisly murders have shaken the quaint Canadian suburb, and the most recent crime scene might provide the first solid lead—despite an easily fatal amount of blood, the victim is nowhere to be found. Most people would steer clear of a crime scene this gory, but to Private Investigator Felix Renn a missing persons investigation comes as a pleasant surprise. After a few run-ins with "Black Lands entities," Felix has developed an unwanted reputation as a monster hunter.

Wow. Just Wow.
This was everything I needed I'm a fantasy book. Between the Nostalgia, the magic system and the world builder, I am extremely happy with this book and can't wait for the next!

GREAT WORLD BUILDING
Charlie Lavender and the Origin of Everything Volume One is a great story that mixes sci-fi and fantasy in a interesting way. Carson Bowie has created a world that starts in a very intimate setting of a 90s High School in Illinois. But quickly hints at a much larger universe which encompasses the 'real world' and a much broader magical universe.
The main characters in the story are fun to get to know and the villains are believable and complex and REALLY evil (as all good villains should be!!).
He delivers diverse characters with depth and interesting motivations with great dialogue and story arcs, while also delivering fast paced action and tense scenes. It is a really fun read or listen!
Carson delivers a really original take on a world of magic and science, his take is clearly grounded in extensive research into Eastern and western mythology and religions, he merges them beautifully, in realistic and grounded way. You can almost believe it exists!
Looking forward to the next volume! I'm hooked.

Worth the wait!
God I loved this book when it came out and devoured it regardless of the fact that there wasn’t an audio companion. Now that it’s out, I’ve already ripped through it again and can’t wait to do it some more.
This story is deep with Easter eggs, hints for the future, and handles complexities in science and magic in a way that not only feels natural but new and fresh. The depth of world building also proves Carson is not only trying to make this the best book I’ve read in years but also that he’s looking far into the future of these characters in each decision we see made along the way.
The narrator nailed it. Her Irish accent sounds vaguely Russian at times but what she did with bringing the world of Normal to life was phenomenal.
I’m currently 30 min from the end and already feel like I’m going to have to replay it again so I can do it all again.

.
I read this when it was originally published and absolutely loved it. The chosen narrator brought a new life to the characters and story.
This is a coming of age story full of magic, mystery, science, and an evil force that I did not see coming. And it's full of 90s nostalgia. I loved watching Charlie's character grow throughout the story.
