Synopsis

Orson Reid: college freshman, gamer, and quite possibly the legendary boogeyman of the magical world. And you thought your life was weird.

It all started the night Orson kissed his best friend, Elyse, and she kissed him back. Yes, the kiss was life changing, but in ways Orson never could have imagined. It seems he contracted a "virus" that is making him taller, faster, and stronger. But his life doesn't go completely off the rails until the night Elyse shows up at his house, strips out of her clothes, and shape-shifts into a giant cat—a panther, to be exact.

Now, instead of preparing for his freshman year of college, Orson is tossed head first into a world where shape-shifters, magic, and monsters are real. A world ruled by the secretive Paragon Society, a group that enforces magical law with brutal efficiency.

And if all that wasn't enough for one guy to deal with, Orson may just be the Ollphiest, the legendary monster that even monsters fear.

Rating 4.0 stars Somewhat of a typical story, though it is done pretty well. Orson is just a normal person, until he kisses his childhood best friend. She has been his best friend for years but that all started to change when they went to prom together. After the kiss he started noticing some change......more

Goodreads review by Thomas on March 18, 2018

Started to feel like fan fiction I found it to be an enjoyable read but it never stopped feeling like an attempt to mainstream Jan Stryvant's Valens Legacy. I mean to be fair of all the stories about a college kid being turned into a legendary breed of shapeshifter who can also do magic, falls in lov......more

Goodreads review by Anita on October 01, 2018

This is a sold as a novel, but it's really a prequel. It's the tragic origin story of bear-shifter Orson, who is destined for great things. No telling what those great things will be. Probably cleaning out a corrupt house of magicals (called the Paragon Society). The earnestness of the 18 year old O......more
