The Wielder #1
Betrayal: Book One of the Wielder Series
Arthur just buried his wife of 76 years. To make things worse, he knows he won't be joining her in the after-life anytime soon because of a "gift" he was given. That gift being six entities that are grafted to his soul. He can summon them at will - a succubus, a demon sorcerer, a fairy, a leprechaun, a cat-being warrior and his ever most trusty hell-hound. Because of their direct connection to his soul their power leeches into him. So, Arthur doesn’t age or get sick.
He knows he will outlive his family. After all, he just outlived his wife.
Unfortunately though, he outlives his son a lot sooner than later. His son is murdered in a most foul manner. Arthur goes in search of revenge with death and devastation following in his wake. But Arthur's bent on revenge is quickly interrupted by a behind the scenes "supernatural police" who arrest him, interrogate him and bring him in for judgment.
That's where things turn really bad for poor Arthur. He's finds he's been set up. Nothing is what it seemed. Worse even - he's been betrayed. And now he has to pay the price for it - both spiritually and in time incarcerated.
This is the first book in an envisioned series of six. It introduces you to Arthur MacInerny and his band of six "summonlings" along with the multiverse setting in which they all reside.

I would probably give this in between 4 and 5, for being fun and entertaining from start to finish. Arthur's ability to summon fae and demons is on its own an interesting thing but the interaction between those summonlings was what I enjoyed the most.
The story begins on a sad point that gets you to really wonder HOW he got these abilities, what IS he exactly and how is he so long-lived. I liked the answers.
From cover to cover, I was amused. Full of interesting characters and incorporated ideas from worldwide folklore. Not positive but I feel like the author might be a fellow mmo gamer, judging by a few select terms. *wink* Can go from light to violent in a heartbeat but then shouldn't all books with demons in them? In the end though, I believe Znuul was the one to steal the show.

Well now, this is one hell of a ride and such a different paranormal read than I'm used to.
Arthur was gifted 6 creatures by Malgorath and all seemed just fine......until after the death of his wife and the murder of his son and daughter in law that he has been used.....betrayed......by whom is another question he needs answered. But first he must spend several years with Grey Lightbringer and Znuul.
Very well written and a must read in my opinion

Arthur's drunken drive home ends up teaching him that there is magic and power within himself. He finds an imp allegedly trapped by witches. He frees the imp, Malgardth who gives him a wizard, a fairy, a warrior, a hell hound, leperchaun, and a succubus in the form of tattooed glyphs. All he has to do is say their name and touch the glyphto summon them.
70 years later, Arthur is burying his wife. However, Aruthur still looks like he is nineteen. Only his son and immediate grandchildren know he has magical beings that live with him. Arthur has made them a spart of his family. Now that his wife has passed away. Arthur takes his group with him to New Orleans. What he doesn't know is there is someone who has nefarious intentions and he will have to learn to who he can trust; especially when it appears he has attracted the attention of several groups of msgical "police."
Unptrfictable, fast paced and vivid character details brings this fantasy novel to life. It was easy to connect with each character as they had distinct personalities. The intriguing dialogue and rivalry over being in Arthur's favor makes him appear like a bedraggled father with a group of wild children. I loved every moment and the building suspense was captivating. This is definitely a five star book and I look forward to reading the sequel.

Refreshing and Intriguing...I picked this book up knowing it was one of the authors early works. I didn’t read any reviews going in, wanting my impressions to be my own. I’m a sucker for magical beings, demons, and anything supernatural so this book drew my interest. The story started out a little slow, but picked up a few chapters in. The magical world the author built was refreshing and very intriguing. I found myself caring about the characters and that’s when you know you’ve found a good book. It’s a story of redemption, of a man turning his life around, finding true love, and constantly fighting to hold true to the light when he is literally surrounded by evil. I for one can forgive grammar and editing issues if the story is good. This story is great! Two thumbs up!

As a reader I always, always always give a book a hundred and fifty pages to get me hooked, especially if it's the first in the series. Well, except for Twilight. That got one hundred and forty and when I started praying for the next ten pages to go quickly, I gave up. True story. At any rate, sometimes I really am happy that I did. Sometimes, I'm not. This time, I'm ecstatic that I did (and it only took about fifty) because it took a minute for David Gosnell's The Wielder: Betrayal to really take off but once it did I was massively impressed. This book was a lot of fun. I'll get into the whys and wherefores in a minute, but I really enjoyed it. Gosnell can write.
The most important part of any book is the characters and this is where Gosnell really delivers. His main character, Arthur MacInerney goes through a character arc that is unlike anything I've seen before. His constant companions, who are literally demons that he is able to summon using tattoos given him as the result of a chance encounter, are not only believable they are entertaining. I can't quite wrap my head around the way that Gosnell managed to take demons and turn them into people. His demons (or Arthur's depending on how you view them) feel real. I can almost see myself sitting down for dinner with one of them or having Hjuul, the dog-like one, fall asleep at my feet.
Not all of the characters are friendly of course and Gosnell does a good job of making Arthur's enemies believable. He even manages to straddle the line with some of the enemies actually being the good guys. I don't want to give too much away here but there is definitely a time when Arthur finds out that things are not what they seem and that he needs to trust the people that he thought were out to get him. The fact that this makes sense to the audience is a compliment to Mr Gosnell and his ability to build a three dimensional universe. When one of the good guys..err... girls spit in Arthur's face I didn't hate her for it. It made sense for the character and Arthur had it coming. Of course, sometimes the bad guys are just bad.
Maldgorath is our main antagonist, pure evil type. This story really is an epic fantasy masquerading as an urban fantasy and we need that pure evil villain. What makes Maldy work though is that he's not just evil for evil's sake. He doesn't kick puppies just because he can. Dude is evil because he is obsessed. He is a collector of beings. He enslaves things not for the work they do, but for the sheer joy of doing so. He really is a sick, twisted sadist. He enjoys toying with the beings he has acquired but what collector doesn't enjoy playing with his toys?
The action sequences in the book are both well done and integral to the plot. I found myself wincing at all of the appropriate moments, cheering when I was supposed to and basically just caring about what happened. It was more than just that though. When Arthur stalks a man through a building I'm right there along with him. It feels immediate as does the following battle. When a fight erupts in a parking lot I find myself wanting to be in there swinging. Some parts of this book felt almost cinematic because of the way I could see them playing out in my head.
I'm going to guess that Gosnell has done some gaming. Not only does Arthur feel like Warlock from World of Warcraft at times, but some of the demons he uses feel similar to the demons in WoW. A couple of the fight scenes have the feel of a Battleground from WoW too. I don't know if Gosnell plays for sure but I'd be surprised if he didn't. (And David, if you see this and you do play, hit me up in game. I'm AKA Capellini, Undead Lock on Nesingwary. My guild is named Harmonious Death and we're always recruiting.) That's okay though. What he wrote makes sense whether you've played the games or not, but parts of it added to my enjoyment. Ok, seeing Arthur go from warlock one minute to priest the next was a little weird but it's all good. I enjoyed it and seeing the enemy react in an appropriate manner made me smile.
This book goes through some major twists. It would be easy to get whiplash if they didn't make so much sense. Gosnell does a good job of getting us ready for what's coming without letting us know what's coming. I don't know if I said that quite right, but what I meant is that he foreshadows things well without telegraphing his next move. There were a few times where I just didn't see what was coming but once it happened it made sense to me. This is something I struggle with in my own writing but Gosnell does it well. I'll have to go back through this book and see if I can break down how he did it.
It's true that this was not a perfect book. The first fifty pages just drag. I mean, I know it's the first book in a series and sometimes things take a minute to set up, but damn. The book starts at a funeral and wallows in it. Granted, the funeral sets up the rest of the book but things just kind of wander with no real sense of what's going on until something terrible happens and we're off and running. Once things do get moving though they don't let up.
WARNING SEMI SPOILERISH CONTENT!!!
There is also a moment near the end where Gosnell does something I've seen in a lot of games that irks me. It's when you FINALLY get to the big boss and you're beating the bejabbers out of him but he gets away and you have to hunt him down again. In games it's so you'll keep playing. In this book it's so that you'll read the rest of the series. That makes sense. Logical or not though, it's still annoying. That much being said, it was well foreshadowed and it's a cliché because it works.

Loved that I couldn't predict this book.
Does the bad die die in the end? No. Does the good guy accomplish his goal? Not really, but these are part of the twists and turns that make this book so good and the author's world so believable. The characters are well and emotionally developed. The writing and editing are also well done. I'm excited and hopefull for a sequel.

I probably would have liked this better if it fit into a genre I like. The writing was decent...the genre, which I am not sure I can define, just doesnt do it for me. For characters notmofmtye norm, the author did a decent job creating them and letting you picture them.

Fun Read
The line between good and evil is blurred in this first book which promises to be the beginning of a fantastic series! I look forward to seeing what happens next with Arthur and his summonlings. 😳

Great read~
This book is great to pass the time and provide images for your imaginations~ There's modern world with various magical beings in the story which adds colour to it.

Good and bad
Good story with a main character that you sometimes like and other times, dislike. The story didn't flow as well as it could have and there are sketchy spots in the plot, but overall it's a pretty decent read.

August 18, 2017
Let's start with the things I didn't like ;)
1. There were a few too many typos, missed spaces, missing punctuation marks. Nothing too serious but each one drew me out of the story. This needs a solid, painstaking, word for word proof-read.
2. The names of some the assorted 'summonlings' are way WAY to complex! Yes they are abbreviated in most cases, but that initial 'read' of their names makes me pause and wonder how the hell I am actually supposed to pronounce them. If I hadn't enjoyed the first few pages so much I might not have carried on.
But now for the good things.
1. It's an action-packed, punchy story with a really likeable MC and his cohort of 'creatures'.
2. This is a good fun romp, with plenty of violence (if you like that) and plenty of villains.
3. The end is both satisfyingly complete and yet left the way open for further adventures.
4. Each 'summonling' had their own distinct and well-written character (which helped me keep track of them despite their names)
5. Arthur was, quiet simply, lovely.
3.5 stars rounded up to 4.

First let me say that I have never given a 1 star rating, and I don't do it casually.
The Wielder: Betrayal By David Gosnell: WTF?! First let me say I love the idea of this, but the delivery just ruined it for me! I don’t know if it’s the copy I got or what, but there were SO MANY typos, grammatical errors, misspelled word and just disjointed sentences. Arthur is gifted 6 entities that are apart of him. The 6 different entities are cool, I like that there is a variety there. (A leprechaun, a hell-hound, fairy, this cat like warrior that kicks-ass, a demon sorcerer and a succubus) They all get sucked into this plot where an evil ‘collector’ is trying to tip the balance in this world to evil.
I’m just disappointed by what I read. I don’t understand how it’s gotten such a high rating. David Gosnell, if there is a more updated and corrected version of this book, please reach out to me, I would love to read it, but as it stands now the copy on Amazon is bunkum.

Five sentences! That's all it took. Five sentences and I was hooked!
So I read more. Before finishing the first two pages I had tears in my eyes. "What manner of sorcery is this?" I thought to myself. Then it struck me... This was one helluva good story written by a wordsmith: someone who knew how to use words to paint a picture so vividly that it was like watching a video, describing each character so well that they seemed real, and, ultimately, making it impossible for me to put the book down.
I've been tracking my reading on Goodreads.com this year. I've been reading quite a bit. This book is the 115th book I've read so far in 2015. It is also probably the most memorable and satisfying book I've read this year. I'm looking forward to reading the other titles in the series.

All in all, a good first effort. Outstanding characters, good story line. There were some dropped plot points, for example, who took care of the store he abandoned so abruptly and if family were so important to him, why didn't we hear more about them? If contact was denied because of his imprisonment, that should have been mentioned. If Grey's house was a camp 'of sorts' for these children, what sort of camp had them needing to learn martial arts from a cat warrior from another dimension?
The writing was thin in places, well-crafted in others. Some redundancy and looseness of word choice marred the flow of an otherwise excellent tale. I feel this will be improved with practice and good editing advice in the future. I look forward to more by this author.

It needs some revising. Misspellings are common (not sure if it's due to being the kindle version I read) as well as omitted prepositions. It tends to throw off the flow.
I like the concept and story, however I find the main character suffers from credibility issues. Namely, he does not really act or think his age.
Sometimes forward shifts in time are rough and choppy.
Despite everything, I was hooked enough to see the adventure through until the end. The next book? Maybe if it's free on Prime.

This is the first in a planned series about a man who can summon several otherworldly types--a demon, an incubus, a leprechaun, etc.--to do his will. This ability puts him right in the middle of a major struggle between otherworldly good and evil.
I liked the story and I liked the characters, but several other things tugged my rating downward:
Lots of typos
Quite a few grammatical misses
Repeated, unnecessary f-bombing
An unsatisfying ending (I know it's a serial, but still . . .)

Rea!ly a pleasant surprise, didn't even know if I would finish it, then got hooked. I enjoy the concept of such a vulnerable and flawed protagonist. A little formulaic and predictable, but fun with some very nice moments. I think the work would be elevated by toning down the sometimes offensive language. That probably sounds old fashioned, but please just take it as a challenge to be more creative with your dialogue, specifically the expletives!
The characters were engaging and colorful with even a few surprises. I will look forward to more. Thank you and good luck.

OK, so we have an immortal man, with a group consisting of a wizard demon, a fairie, a warrior, a dog, a succubus and a leprechaun, running into demons, paladins and more. Sound promising doesn't it? Well it wasn't boring, but you get the feeling while the story moves on that the story is very methodical, the characters not very deep and you can't get hooked on the characters. All in all, a nice read, but not enough to continue with the series

Great Read
Fairly well written with few typos. Each character was developed well enough to engage my sympathies. The magic was woven into the fabric of the story in such a way as to make it seem real or common place. I certainly recommend this book as a quick and fun read and encourage the author to keep on imagining and writing.

Unexpected
Wow. Almost no typos. A tightly written, smooth flowing story. Characters I want to get to know in a lot more detail. And, my favorite part, an Arch Demon who may or may not be completely evil (I wouldn't mind seeing an entire book just on his face campaign). That's about all I need to classify this as a win. Oh, and many sequels too.
Wow. Almost no typos. A tightly written, smooth flowing story. Characters I want to get to know in a lot more detail.

An awesome book that contains an entryway into a vivid and wild world that will leave a lasting impression on the reader. You will feel the emotions of the characters as they lived out their lives on the pages before you. I highly recommend to anyone who likes fantasy, humor, or just a book to stick with you for a long time.

Interesting series
series is interning with a different premise than I have seen before. It was difficult to get through the first chapter due to the heavy emotional trauma of Thomson a character, but it was worth it. likable characters with lots of action and humor.

Very entertainig
This was a pleasant surprise. Well written and adequately edited. There is room for improvement there. I recommend this as good entertaining read. Only problem is putting it down to attend to real life. Looking forward to the next one.

Strangely interesting
It kept me reading even with (either) poor grammar or practically non-existent proof reading. Out of the world story line in a genre I have not encountered previously.

This books needs another round of proofreading. It was painful to read through the typos and grammar errors.
