The Player's Lounge

The Player's Lounge Series, Book 1

By: Dan Calley

Narrated by: Dan Calley

A reincarnated soul who remembers his previous life’s happiness and heartache...

Quint is a Player. Unlike most of society who restart with a blank slate after they die, Players make the choice to reincarnate with their memories fully intact. He’s using his past-life knowledge to make his way in a new world, and he’s taking full advantage of it to help him find someone he’s lost.

In their past lives, Quint and Leo were in love. In the afterlife, they made a pact that when they were reborn into the next life, they would find each other again. Except Leo doesn’t seem to be keeping his promise. Running out of leads, Quint turns to his last option, an exclusive, mysterious app where lost souls like him can reconnect with their past lives: The Player’s Lounge.

But what he finds is not what he expects...

'The Player’s Lounge' is the debut novel from prolific M/M audiobook narrator Dan Calley.

Fated Love…Yes please & Thanks!

Narration was superb as always from Dan Calley who is one of my absolute faves. I actually enjoyed the story more than I thought I would. I would suggest not starting it like other audio books where ya pop in the earbuds and do something else while you listen. I did that and missed the setup for the actual story and after a couple of head scratches I stilled myself and actually listened. I like it. It’s a beautiful story where it had me guessing who belonged to whom and of course I was wrong (nice twist there). The only reason for 4 stars was because it ended at an odd place for me. I’m sure there’s more to come but just seemed odd…maybe rushed to end the first book I’m not sure but all in all I liked it. Hope it’s successful. Keep them coming please!!!!!!!

Intriguing start to new series

Maybe he’s picked up a few things from all the books he’s narrated, or maybe he’s just that talented, but Dan Calley sure knows how to craft a vividly descriptive story with interesting characters and a unique, intriguing plot. The Player’s Lounge draws the reader in right off and makes the book hard to put down, or hit pause if you’re listening to Calley’s excellent-as-always narration of his varied cast of characters. A fascinating start to a series I look forward to continuing.

just yes

what can i say, Dan Calley narrating a Dan Calley book but pure perfection! Dan made his words even more beautiful, hard-hitting, and transporting to his world. just pure magic to listen to. Every emotion just hits that much better when done well with good narrators. I can't wait to see what he has in store next for this ensemble of characters.

Player's Are Going to Play

The Player's Lounge is a well written story that is so mind twisting that it's hard to tell the difference between what is reality and what is fantasy, and I love it. The plot is good and easy to follow. The steam is a low boil, but the story more than makes up for that. I can't wait to see what the author has planned for Quint and Leo because i know it's going to be juicy. I received this book for free upon my request. This review is honest and unbiased, and I am leaving this here voluntarily.

Great narration and fantastic story concept

Dan did a job as always narrating this story. I loved the concept of the story and did not see the ending twists coming. Looking forward to book 2 to see where this story goes.

Great Storytelling

I love this story and the narration was fab!!! I can't wait for the rest of the series.

Quint and Leo

"𝙄 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙩𝙤𝙤. 𝙎𝙚𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙪𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚."

The choice is yours, become a Player or a Reboot. Quint and Leo both choose Player and are now tasked with the journey of attempting to find each other again in their new lives.

I am not even sure where to start. This book was so different from anything I’ve ever read. I was captivated and lost all at the same time, lol. The book starts heartbreakingly strong and then just kind of coasts from there. The book is low angst with very low steam and bends your mind between what is fantasy and reality.

I am intrigued to see where this series is going to go from here after the cliffhanger that we are left with.

Dan Calley does an amazing job of giving the words of his debut novel life.

Get ready for...
