Resumen del Editor
New York Times best-selling author Simon Green introduces a new kind of hero, one who fights the good fight against some very old foes in the first novel in the Secret Histories series.
The name’s Bond. Shaman Bond. Actually, that's just his cover. His real name is Eddie Drood, but when your job includes a license to kick supernatural arse on a regular basis, you find your laughs where you can.
For centuries, his family has been the secret guardian of Humanity, all that stands between all of you and all of the really nasty things that go bump in the night. As a Drood field agent, he wore the golden torc, he killed monsters, and he protected the world. He loved his job.
Right up to the point where his own family declared him rogue for no reason. Now, the only people who can help Eddie prove his innocence are the people he used to consider his enemies....

John Charming isn't your average prince... He comes from a line of Charmings - an illustrious family of dragon slayers, witch-finders and killers dating back to before the fall of Rome. Trained by a modern day version of the Knights Templar, monster hunters who have updated their methods from chain mail and crossbows to Kevlar and shotguns, John Charming was one of the best-until a curse made him one of the abominations the Knights were sworn to hunt.

The world had become used to the metahumans - people sometimes perfectly ordinary, but sometimes quite extraordinary in appearance - who mostly worked with their governments as high-powered peace officers, fighting crime, and sometimes fighting rogue metahumans who had become super-criminals. Then that comfortable world ended in just one terrifying day.

I'm Ivy Lane, and if I never see another faerie again, it'll be too soon. Twenty years after the faeries came and destroyed the world as we knew it, I use my specialist skills to keep rogue faeries in line and ensure humans and their magically gifted neighbors can coexist (relatively) peacefully. Nobody knows those skills came from the darkest corner of Faerie itself. When a human child disappears, replaced with a faerie changeling, I have to choose between taking the safe road or exposing my own history with the faeries to the seductively dangerous head of the Mage Lords.

Great story!
I really enjoyed this audiobook. The story goes from one crisis to another, yet provides great details during each event. It grabs your attention as you follow Edwin Drood and his confrontations with his family. Stuart Blinder narrates the story well!

Great story, disappointing narration
My introduction to the series was a later book narrated by Gideon Emery, who is wonderful. Apparently the first two books are being released as audiobooks with this narrator. Between the characterization and timing it is painfully broadly comic in tone. The subtle wit and serious drama gets lost, and female characters become drag caricatures. Really disappointing. I am debating just skipping the second book and resuming the series where Emery is narrating.

having read the book previously I was surprised by the choice of narrator. I felt like it took away from the story. it was not at all how I heard Eddie in mu head and it just screamed wrong while listening. the narrator did a fine job but the voice didn't fit. it was very distracting.

Most Unusual
First of all I loved the Dresden Files and though this is not in the same the genre is similar. The Druids that once looked after those who could not defend themselves have changed due an incident bright about by an unfortunate cosmic crossing of cosmic circumstance. This is the telling of their existence and role in a world millennia following and the role they have yet to play. All in all it is a rather entertaining and a light listen bordering to favour a younger audience. The story is so well written I feel it would be just as written if were written in a very ominous fashion.

A mixed bag
The book had a bit too much teenage boy ego, even though the MC was older than that. It was creative and decently, written, but Overly convenient and sometimes a bit all over the map.
The narrator made most women sound like walruses.

Wordy
In 17 hours there’s endless scenes where Eddie meets an urban fantasy creature, detailed with an info dump on their backstory and dangerousness … before they’re taken down with ease. Like the early action sequence where he singlehandedly takes down twenty elves atop twenty dragons.
Yet for all the words, I couldn’t tell you what Eddie looks like. From the narration, you’d think he was a geeky, middle aged, sweater vested academic. This is more of a superhero story; all the detail is reserved for the fantasy creatures, magical weapons, and battles.
The final few hours delivers a more interesting story, but boy, did it take a long time to get there.
There’s also an oddly creepy sex fixation in the beginning, with random talk of teeth in a female’s privates, a cyber-sex club, and the opening scene with a male president impregnated by a demon (thankfully this fades after the first few hours). I preferred the related Nightside series, whose books are half the length, with a more stylish UF noir vibe.
A final warning about inconsistent narration: as of this review, this series has three different narrators. On the plus side, this particular narrator does well giving the huge number of male characters varied accents, which, given the lack of written descriptions, is a welcome way to tell them apart.
His females all sound like chain smoking men and his academic voice for Eddie is more Dr. Who than Shaman Bond. I got past these and overall enjoyed this … but had to re-adjust with each new narrator.
