Knowledge is power. That would be the motto of Lander University, had it not been snatched up and used to death by others long before the school was founded. For while Lander offers a full range of courses to nearly all students, it also offers a small number of specialty classes to a very select few. Lander is home to the Hero Certification Program, a curriculum designed to develop students with superhuman capabilities, commonly known as Supers, into official Heroes.

Savid DelaCrotia is the third born son of one of the Kingdom of Montshire’s oldest and most respected High families. Cast aside by his father at an early age, it’s up to him to make his own way and create his own honor. With just his horse, his weapons, the clothes on his back and in his pack, and the education that his family provided, he’ll have to go it alone. Luckily, he already has a pretty good idea of what he’s good at - fighting, and woodcraft - not to mention finding hidden and lost items.

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.

The buildings and all the people inside have all been atomized and transformed into the dungeon: an 18-level labyrinth filled with traps, monsters, and loot.

Show me an amateur conjurer, and I'll stop him before he gets himself killed. That's the idea, anyway. But New York City isn't what it used to be, and I don't mean the recent crash. Amateur casters are calling up creatures they shouldn't be able to. And there's been a murder at the city's most hallowed cathedral, a message in blood on the victim's back the NYPD wants me to interpret, like yesterday.

Along with that nasty little bit of information came a $600,000 check, a strange golden feather, and the ability to move to the Alaska Bush and begin her dream life living off the grid. Unfortunately for Blaze, life in rural Alaska isn't as peaceful as she imagined. Among her many startling discoveries is that her sexy new handyman, Jack Thornton, has already "claimed" the territory that her new lodge is sitting on.

Publisher's Summary
Book 8 of the Demon Accords.
College. A time of transition from youth to young adulthood. New lessons, new responsibilities, new distractions. A period of life treasured by most. Unless you happen to attend an institute of higher learning where the bullies are werewolves, the teachers are sadists, and the pretty girls are all deadly. A school like that demands a special kind of student, someone with the skills and power to survive. Someone like Declan O'Carroll.

Another fun easy read/listen. ...I was worried I wouldn't like it because of the end of HS/1st of college storyline, but I was wrong. I truly enjoyed this story. Declan & his, girl Kaeco, are a very unique pair.. I have like all the books in this series & was genuinely surprised ovr how involved I hav become w/these 2 main characters.

A great story that keeps you interested
What made the experience of listening to College Arcane the most enjoyable?
I liked the part where they played with the golems.
What other book might you compare College Arcane to and why?
I have listened to the whole series and wish they had the last one available
Have you listened to any of James Patrick Cronin’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I must hand it to Mr Cronin he does a truely professional job by bringing all the characters to life and I will look forward to more of his works
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Many, both happy and sad the feelings of each lose and the joy of small victories made a very good book
Any additional comments?
Please don't stop writing these books, Well put together story lines and great performances from the reader.

Pleasant surprise
I was a little irritated when I got the 1st book Declan was featured in. I thought it would be more of the adventures of the God Hammer. But after listening to it, and this book, I find I enjoy the adventures of young Declan a little bit more than Chris & Tania. So far, a very pleasant surprise!

Enthralling - this 1 got me hooked on John Conroe
I found this book very exciting. I found the character is very interesting, and the dialogue was very well written. James Patrick Cronin was definitely a good narrator. And I am looking for more books that he has narrated.
I like some sci-fi and fantasy, but find that some are just too bizarre. Conroe writes a very good book without getting too weird!

One of the best books I have read!
I was at first like others who started this book. I was unsure whether I would enjoy a book that did not totally focus on Chris and Tanya. It was a great storyline. The ever expanding world of Chris and Tanya is memorizing. Each book has fresh ideas and new storytelling that ultimately lead to Chris and Tanya. I am already getting worried because there are only a few more books in the series. One of my favorite things about reading is when I can immerse myself in a series where the characters and storylines are rich and provide the much needed diversion from life that I seek. Hopefully, more stories are in the works.

Another fantastic installment in the DA series.
Have read and listened to this book multiple times along with most of the others. Declan is a fantastic character and is really growing into his own along with many of the other characters, new and old.
It's really rare that a writer can add a new 'main' character to a book series and have it work so well. fantastic writing.

small steps some character development
the last book had some pacing issues. this one improves but then disappoints with forced character changed that seem entirely avoidable and just seem pre planned for future books. this feels like character derail.
the plot is great and fleshes out the world a lot more but this feels like more of a world building / exposition novel.
overall an entertaining story that wasnt as satisfying as previous entries.
-spoiler-
caeco and declan split up and it feels off. the rationale at the end (age etc) makes sense and the other girls vying for attention makes sense but i enjoy the chemistry between D and C. so it feels strangely forced considerin it gets swept under the rug in the last chapter.
the plot obstacles seem rushed and even though resolution could probably be reached it isnt shown in the text leaving it feeling arbitrary a scene showing them discussing things or going over it all could have at least given a more satisfying (for the reader) sense of closure. this is a personal take - it just bothered me and overshadowed the rest of an otherwise entertaining book.

Accents
The narrator really needs to meet some Irish people. His accent in this is appalling and ruined large parts of the story for me. Knowing from the last chapter that there is an Australian character in the next book for him to mangle is not filling me with anticipation in listening to it.

Didn't think I would enjoy it, but I did.
I wasn't super stoked on a whole book away from the A-team but this turned out great. Also had a great laugh when they named dropped my workplace while I was working.
The book is pretty much a great expansion of the Demon Accord's world, and it's written well within those parameters. Like how the son of an Alpha would act and behave. How witches do things for power or how and ancient book wants a more powerful host.
Only gripe I have with it is the narrator that don't seem to quite manage 2 different male main characters, they pretty much sound the same. It isn't a problem while they aren't in the same room but a dialogue is hard.
