About this listen

Something unholy is hunting the streets of Burlington, Vermont, stalking the campus of the local university. Chris Gordon and his contingent of demon hunters is drawn to the northern Vermont city by a brutal murder of hellish proportions, ready to banish it from Earth.

But this Hellion is direct from the Abyss, incarnate and fully possessed of all the powers of high Hell royalty - female royalty at that. It’s been said that the female of the species is deadlier than the male, and this one might be the deadliest of all.

How do you flush out such dangerous prey without recreating the chaos that befell Washington such a short time ago? The answer: bait. The bait: Declan O’Carroll, witch prodigy with powers so sweet it’s like candy for the Devil’s own. Can Chris and company catch this monster before any harm comes to their friend and colleague? Or will Hell have its way? Can they see all the angles or does this Abyss bitch have the edge?

Excellent book

James Patrick Cronin does a fantastic job narrating this whole series. It is easily the best paranormal adventure romance series available. I own all of the series and to date of my review is 18. The books have strong characters with love adventure romance and worthy villains. All types of my favourite types of paranormals are here. It is a smorgasbord of awesome. I know there are lots of books in the series and not one is a dud. They are all long enough to really give you everything you want in a book. I can't recommend them enough.

Insultingly dumb plot

This series has been gaining problems with each new addition but this is the straw to break the camels back.

Several highly intelligent characters, including a quantum computer AI, are rendered practically braindead in order for the main plot to be plausible. The premise as we learn in the first hour or two is that a highly cunning, tricky, and manipulative female demon that can shapeshift has manifested near Declan's college and is likely targeting him, the characters all agree that this demon will probably think of using his friends against him. But not one of these people, including an honest to god supercomputer, thinks of sending a quick text to any of his associates warning them to be on the lookout for any new faces.

So sure enough the demon seduces Declan's best friend and his friend gushes about this new girl that he just met to Declan, and despite noticing how odd this sudden infatuation is AND talking about the shapeshifting demon in literally the same sentence, not him nor his AI that eavesdrops on everything consider that there might be a connection between these two figures. I could go on about this plot point but then I wouldn't be able to vent about all the other issues.

Something I've noticed over the last few books are that the main cast are all cowardly bullies, hear me out on this. The main cast are constantly antagonized by various government types or criminal organizations or things like that but they never lash out, even when this antagonism endangers the lives themselves or civilian bystanders, they won't lash out at powerful enough people. But they will threaten and intimidate individuals who have no hope of standing up to them. The example in this book is Detective Schultz, when he hears that a Demon Lord has manifested in the town his wife and daughters live in he is naturally fearful and wonders if the people the demon is targeting shouldn't be relocated, he is rebuked for this as though he suggested handing them over and warned not to even think about one of the potential targets in the presence of vampires because they will read his mind and punish him for idle thoughts (is the implication). Later after the main casts have utterly failed due to lack of planning he questions their competence (justifiably imo) and the "angel" Chris Gordon decides to intimidate him with his strength and essentially tell him to stop complaining about the students that were killed because of their failure.

The next gripe is related to the last one, Declan and Chris are established to have hair trigger tempers, although Declan's is somewhat inconsistent. But Chris on multiple occasions has been shown as ready to kill whenever somebody even suggests targeting his kids or god-daughter, he never actually loses his temper and does something he shouldn't, we never actually see his 'temper' manifest in anything other than him glaring at people and fighting evil harder than he would have otherwise, this is more of a fringe issue but personally I don't like it when a MC is constantly antagonized and belittled by people weaker than him that he's essentially protecting (demons vs everyone else) and the only retribution ever received is another member of the main cast saying "Hey whoa you should be careful because he's like, super dangerous and could like, totes beat you up, we wont ever see that but like, it could happen, so please respect that he does have a temper." It's like the boy who cried wolf, its happened so many times that now I'm just annoyed when the FBI or whoever shows up because I know they're going to be needlessly hostile and the MC is gonna pout and frown and glare but ultimately do nothing, you could set your watch to it, frustrating and completely lacking suspense.

There's plenty more I want to say but honestly I've given too much energy to this series already, Bye
