Wonderfall. A new series that gets the hook into you and makes you want to read/listen to the other books! Declan Winters brings SEER to new level with his narration skills.
From the blurb:
A Paranormal Grumpy/Grumpier MM Romance with Humor and Suspense
How can an average-looking psychic like me pull a super-hot guy like him to amplify my power and stop a killer?
I’ve had visions since I was 13 years old. Minor stuff on the whole, usually nothing to get excited about. Which is for the best, since the police think I’m a crackpot, and the people I try to help call me a freak. Don’t get me started on my mother and the priest she brought home to do an exorcism. She’s not even Catholic.
Maybe things would be different if I weren’t also an introverted, wardrobe-challenged, heavyset guy with sarcasm issues. If I were slim, pretty, and charismatic, I’d probably have my own psychic TV show.
So when hot guys—yes, more than one—suddenly start sniffing around, trying to flirt with me, I’m suspicious. I didn’t fall for that stunt in high school, and I’m not falling for it now.
Except these guys just hold my hand and stare into my eyes. Then they’re gone. Weird.
Suddenly my visions change. People—some of them not quite human—are dying, but I can’t see enough details to save them. Another psychic tells me if I “resonate” with one of my “suitors”, my abilities will get stronger. If it’ll save lives, I have to try. (Does this sound like a bad p0rn plot to you, too?) But Greg, the hottest hottie of them all, takes one look at me and runs the other way.
Exactly like high school.
But whether he wants me or not, Greg and I have to join forces or people will keep dying. Just as I’m seeing signs that he has a warm and caring heart under his uptight and insufferable façade, I have a vision that Greg is the killer’s next victim. I hope our newly-formed connection is strong enough to give me the power I need to save him.
Seer is an MM paranormal romance with psychics, supernatural creatures of all kinds, meddling friends, and humor. HEA guaranteed!

Always exciting to start something new. Got a little confused in the beginning with the Discord messages as I am not familiar with Discord however managed to get the hang of it later in the audiobook. Declan managed to get the characters going in a beautiful rhythm that makes the audio book an enjoyable listen.
There are recurring characters from Bent Oaks and discovering the world of Wonders, District Monitors, NPC and Cassandras which will sound somewhat familiar to you if you are into Dungeons and Dragons and role playing games.
The audiobook does take you on a journey in which you can imagine almost the same as you would if you were physically reading the book.
I loved Declan’s portrayal of Greg and his initial grumpiness of being forced into a situation where he meets his “bond” mate and his resistance against being bonded. The journey of Cal as a Seer is so eye opening but I have to say my favourite is Ms Jackson. Definitely an enjoyable listen and thanks for the opportunity to review this audiobook.
Molly Otto's review:
This is one of those books the narrator makes the book. Declan Winters owns these characters and makes for me an average book exceptional with his narration skills.
Cal is a computer geek whose gift sees the future and able to see people in their ture forms. Greg is the DM of Bent Oak, Texas and is not prepared to meet the person he was made to be with. Let's be real Greg took me a minute to like, you understand why he is as he is but the way he treats Cal at first just doesn't sit right. Yes in time he learns the error of his judgment ajd thanks to both his ajd Cals friends earns his right to have a partner as genuine as Cal. The murder mystery and group chat aspect tied this story together beautifully to making you want to see what is going on. Overall an enjoyable read but even better listen.
Lesetiger's review:
I was excited about this book because I like the mix of mystery and romance. The writing style was wonderful, fluid, and easy to follow, and I quickly got into the story. What took some getting used to were the Discord chats, but Delcan Winters did an excellent job of presenting them. I really liked the world building as well as most of the characters. On the one hand, there's Cal, the computer geek who has had visions since he was 13, but these change and he can now see into the future with his visions. What he sees there isn't always good, so he tries his best to prevent further murders. I found it humorous how Cal had his first conversation with fantasy characters. There were quite a few humorous scenes overall. Then there's Greg, the game master in Bent Oak. It actually took me a while to warm up to him. That was probably because of how he treated Cal at first. But luckily, he eventually realizes his mistake and also Cal's importance. And it would be good if both of them worked on their communication. There were also interesting supporting characters.
The mystery element developed slowly and only picked up speed at the end.
The story was good and entertained me, and I definitely recommend the audiobook format.
I haven't listened to a book with Declan Winters in a while, but he knocked it out of the park. He gave the characters fitting voices and his narration was very lively. With Declan as the narrator, a good story was taken to the next level. It was a pleasure to listen to him!
I'm already very excited to see how the story continues!
