About this audiobook
Sierra Carter learns that her former employer's technology is in reality a means of spreading a deadly evil around the world. Necocyaotl, god of death and destruction, has placed his essence in every device, causing people to place their self-interest and personal desires above all else. If Sierra's going to stop him, she'll need some help.
And help is on the way. Chaco, also known as Coyotl the Trickster, is a handsome young man when he isn't a coyote-and an excellent cook. Fred the mannegishi has the gift of disappearing at will and a few well-kept secrets. Rose, a Native American shaman, teaches Sierra how to develop her inner powers. Kaylee is a practitioner of Voudon, as is the irascible and mysterious Mama Labadie. Clancy Forrester, chief of security for Sierra's former employer, enters the fray, reluctantly surrendering his view of reality.
Necocyaotl's team is playing for keeps, and the evil god brings an army of ice demons, dark spirits, and assorted monsters into the game to bolster his more human henchmen and -women. Sierra and her friends constantly find themselves on the edge of disaster, snatching every win from the extremely pointy jaws of their enemies.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The Obsidian Mirror was an impulse, Kindle Daily Deal buy. I'll try to remember it the next time I'm tempted. Every offering can't be an Andy Weir or a Becky Chamberlain. It wasn't a complete waste of time and $, but it did have a distinct YA vibe (unintended, I believe) that I don't find appealing. On the other hand, the central message would be a good one for young adults, and Ms. Keenan was not heavy-handed about it.Coyotl, Queztalcoatl, and his evil twin whose name I won't even try to spell are involved with humans. The evil twin is using a Silicon Valley chip-maker to infect humans through their cell phones, etc. with such self-absorption that they don't pay attention to climate change. Mr. Q calls our heroine Sierra to disinfect the president of the company. She and her friends, including Coyote who is a shape-changer, and a Cree Mannegishi who calls himself Fred, move from danger to danger and rescue themselves or are rescued by other New World gods.I gave the book an extra half star because I think that young adults might really like it.
