by Inadvisably Compelled (Author)
Callum had seen things all his life. There are monsters and beasts living among people, but he learned very early not to admit such things, not if he didn’t want people to think him crazy.

It turns out that the supernatural is real, but at thirty Callum has no desire to be part of that secret. Not that he has a choice when it turns out he is a mage, albeit one that hasn’t cast any spells in all his life. There are requirements, duties, and education that the powers that be insist he be subject to.

To hell with that.

Renegade Mage (Paranoid Mage Book 2)
by Inadvisably Compelled (Author)
4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars 2,029 4.4 on Goodreads 1,874 ratings
After escaping from the Guild of Arcane Regulation and the Bureau of Secret Enforcement, Callum has lost his greatest protection: his obscurity. Now the powers that be know who he is, and hiding is harder than ever. Nor is hiding a plan, just a reaction.

Now Callum is forced to decide how he wants to approach the supernatural world, and how he’s going to keep himself secure when the apparatus of government is arrayed against him. Even if he wanted to live as a mage, that bridge has been thoroughly burned, and even if he wanted to live as a normal person, he is far too deep to close his eyes to what he’s seen.

Callum is at war with the Guild of Arcane Regulation, the organization that governs mages on Earth. He’s spent most of his time lying low and hiding out, trying to understand what he can do and how he can remain free from their meddling. What he’s learned is that he can’t.

It’s time to move from reaction to action, and take on GAR and its evils directly.

Reclusive Mage (Paranoid Mage Book 4)
by Inadvisably Compelled (Author)
4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,115 4.2 on Goodreads 998 ratings
The Guild of Arcane Regulation has fractured, and new forces move on the board. Callum cannot quite declare victory, for even a weakened GAR still forces him to hide from the world at large, yet he is no longer prepared to run. Instead he builds his own strengths to stand against those who wish to do him harm.

Change, once started, is hard to stop. Callum’s actions have brought change to the world of the supernatural, but that can bring chaos and destruction even as he eliminates tyranny and corruption. He has to move beyond being one man against the world, and stand in the world he’s made.

Sovereign Mage (Paranoid Mage Book 5)
by Inadvisably Compelled (Author)
4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars 895 4.4 on Goodreads 687 ratings
The final book in the Paranoid Mage series.

The portal to the Night Lands is closed, and vampires are barred from Earth, but at a high cost. Not only does Callum have to deal with the fallout of the vampire race’s final spasms, but the political consequences of demonstrating his ability and willingness to attack portal worlds directly. The forces that were moving to control a weakened GAR have come out into the open, and Callum has to deal with stakes much higher than his personal freedom.

It's time to join with his allies and move to open conflict. Even the secret of supernatural presence on Earth is at play, and the Archmage’s Council and the Seven Lesser Courts threaten the very concept of human sovereignty. Everything comes down to removing the would-be tyrants, and so preserving the Earth as it should be.

5.0 out of 5 stars High quality
Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2023
So I really have enjoyed the 3 first books as of this review. The world is our modern one, but magic exists and is controlled by a government-like entity)/organisation. This is explained/shown very early on and isn't a spoiler.

The series follows Callum, and his aversion to authority figures. He just wants to be left alone and live his life, but something or someone always seem to work to make his life difficult.

I haven't seen many errors in the books, and I enjoy the writing itself as well. I don't often give 5/5, but this series is one I have read a couple times and still enjoy as much. I wait with bated breath for the next book, and hope there will be more after that.

5.0 out of 5 stars It is worth reading.
Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2022
I read/listen to a lot of books that I literally forget I read a month later, but this one was different. Maybe it’s because the lead character is slightly older but you can tell by his views that he has life experience. He’s not perfect… it’s both relatable and funny. It’s worth reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth buying. A great series!
Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2022
So far a great series. A powerful protagonist with out the box thinking against an ossified system of psuedo-governmental enties. Caught between doing right and getting screwed decides to find a third path. Excellent series premise an i am looking forward to book 3.

5.0 out of 5 stars well worth it for the story.
Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2022
its a well done take on what magic on earth mite be like it is a realistically explained world and unlike others where more idealist depictions would have black and white forces as the powers at be all the ones found here have their own ideas of the world and what really matters to them.
