Year One

A Quincy Harker, Demon Hunter Collection

De: John G. Hartness

Mina Murray and Jonathan Harker had a son. They named him Quincy. His guardian angel calls him Q. Dracula calls him nephew.

Demons call him The Reaper.

"There are things in this world that men and women aren't meant to understand. We aren't supposed to know these things exist, much less how to fight them. The things that go bump in the night, the monsters in the closet, the shadow out of the corner of your eye - that's where I live."

Collects the first four Quincy Harker, Demon Hunter novellas:

• Raising Hell
• Straight to Hell
• Hell on Heels
• Hell Freezes Over

Super great fun and mayhem!

As noted in publisher's blurb, this is a compilation of the first four Quincy Harker books. The plots are excellent, the characters are too much fun. Quincy cusses like most of the testosterone folk I know, but his guardian angel loves him anyway; his partner (Detective Bex Flynn) rolls her eyes at his cluelessness; Uncle Luke (aka Vlad Dracula) has his back; and the ex-Marine from Homeland Security, Paranormal Division, gives him credentials. There are lots of snarks, puns, and gawd-awful jokes and comparisons. But not gratuitous erotica. Guaranteed to have you snurfling and cackling out loud despite the blood, gore, and sound effects.
James Foster is not only the voice of Quincy, but gives a remarkable performance with all of the other characters--and this is no mean feat! So get your exercise gear on or get on the bus/subway/train and enjoy the hyperactivity!

Great story and narration.

I loved this book and look forward to more. I suggest reading Dracula by Bram Stoker first. It is also available here on audible.com and this book ties into that one well enough that it will be nice to have for background material. This book is funny, witty, and tons of fun. The narrator is an absolutely perfect voice for Quincy Harker. Fans of urban fantasy definitely need this one in their library.

Super great fun and mayhem

What did you like best about this story?

I like the different facets it gives into Quincy and Dracula. It was another awesome listen

What does James Foster bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

This has to be one of James Foster’s most dynamic performances ever! Somehow making his regular super calm and soft spoken voice into a raspy, gravely treat for the ears, for Harker. While switching back to several characterizations with his normal voice. Keeping them all distinct and easily identifiable. Clearly making Foster a great choice for this series

Any additional comments?

I was provided this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

Snark

I have to say I enjoyed the narrator's ability to get all the personality that could possibly be mustered from this book.

An intense roller coaster ride!

This is the roller coaster ride you will be sad when it has ended.it is so intense and keeps you listening because you can’t wait to know what is going to happen next and hold your breath at every high point. There are no low points but you can really come to love each turn. Yes there is a lot of cussing but if it were all real there would naturally be from anyone. I would totally recommend this series to my one that is looking to take that wild ride.

If you like Dresden, you'll love Harker

From the quips and witty dialogue, to the fast-paced action, this collection of novellas does not disappoint. The narrator has a clear voice that captures the quick-witted give and take of the characters with a great deal of inflection and tone that just really sets the scene.

Better than expected

I had low expectations for this book and was pleasantly disappointed. The snark was good, the characters were interesting, and there was enough magic to keep me excited. This is a fun Urban Fantasy with lots of angels and demons, so if that's your thing pick up this book. I have enjoyed all the "A Quincy Harker, Demon Hunter Collections"

This one sucked me right in

I stumbled across this and glad I did. Fun, clever, funny. just what I was looking for. narrator nailed it!

brilliant🎧

Humorous and horrific, an irreverent main character and outstanding narration, what more could you ask for.

Adults only !!!

MAIN character is direct, crude, swears ALOT & is VERRY violent; but is a caring hero & a FUNNY smart asz. !!!
He fights magical evils, is supernatural & uses powers.
SETTING - our world, with a hidden magical side [ NO SPOILERS ].
STORY - fast paced, with LOTS of fights, magic & HUMOR !!! Uses our legends well too.
PERFORMANCE - just enough of a difference between characters, the inflections are VERRY good & make up for that.

You really FEEL for the characters !!!
