Dark City

The Order of Shadows, Book 1

De: Kit Hallows

Narrado por: Shawn Compton

Unleashed magic. Secret pasts. Hidden worlds. Welcome to the Dark City.

My name's Morgan Rook, supernatural detective, undercover agent, odd jobs man. Call it whatever you like.

I take out the nightmares, demons, and werewolves. The things that lurk in the shadows around you. Guys like us call them Nightkind.

And here I was, set to quit this dark life and retire to sunnier climes, except for one final job. There's always one. This time a call to eliminate a cruel, rogue vampire, named Mr. Tudor. Simple, right?

Sure. Until the bodies started piling up in a new wave of vicious occult killings leading scarily close to my own front door, sparking a series of deadly events that would make my years of fighting the Nightkind look like a cakewalk.

Add high-octane chases across the city, a game of shadows, and undead assassins all topped off by a trip into the terrifying world between worlds - the last place you'd ever want to find yourself.

And the clues...they're all adding up to something...something big...and they're right in the palm of my hand.

The missing piece of the puzzle? How in the hell I fit into all of this....

stop talking and shoot!

If you like a talkative hero that can't stop talking about his thurible horrible past and all the pain pain pain
To actually get the job done!

Needs more humor.

Probably a good book ruined by horrible narrator.

I really wanted to like this book. I read the reviews and once Dresden comparisons came up in the review I was sold. That is until i started listening to the book and after finishing the book, I can’t tell you what it was about. The narrator was sooo boring and monotone that I had to increase the speed to 1.2 and I still couldn’t get into it. When Rook was confronting the antagonist, I couldn’t even remember who he was or how Rook knew him. I tuned out so many times because the narrator was bland, I would restart chapters trying to catch the story but by God, it couldn’t capture my attention and i would tune out again. I find that depressing because this is a series that I would have probably liked but not with the narrator.

other worlds, vampires, paranormal.

I received this book for free for a honest review. I loved the characters and storyline. Everything was well held together. The narrator was good at holding my attention and bringing the characters to life. great for older kids. highly reccomend

Great detective story

This is a good supernatural detective story. The narration was perfect for it. It had a few slow points but overall very good.

Hmm

It was a ok book but the story really did not grab my attention as well as some of the other books like this one.
