Blood Be Damned: Magic Wars

Demons of New Chicago, Book 3

De: Kel Carpenter

Narrado por: Savannah Gilmore, Adam Gold

When the Underworld burned, I thought that was the end. Turns out it was only the beginning.

Lucifer’s death was a shot heard around the world. The sudden loss of magic turned the tides for the first time in over two decades.

The humans are rallying. Rioting. It feels like the stirrings of war.

As if that wasn’t enough, Bree isn’t the sister I remember - and her desire to return to Hell is creating more fires than I know how to put out.

Things are changing. Lines are drawn. Everyone must choose a side. Even me.

Sometimes, the world needs a hero. In a city that’s already gone to hell in a hand basket, it might just need a demon.

If you can’t get enough of books by Ella Summers, Annette Marie, Shannon Mayer, Deborah Wilde, K.F. Breene, Jeaniene Frost, Kelly St. Clare, and Linsey Hall, then dive right in to the dangerous depths of New Chicago. Beware of headstrong heroines with snark. These ladies don’t bark. They bite.

wow!!!

omgggggg this was amazing fantastic and omggg the duel naration is epic sooo well done I love love love they way they bring this story to life!!

And so it went . . .

Wow! Just wow! We just hit the ground running in this book, and the action never stops.
Piper and Ronin have a lot to handle, especially when it comes to Bree.
New Chicago needs change, will Piper & Ronin be the change?
Another amazing chapter in the life of Piper, and with an ending that will leave you on the edge of your seat!

Audio heaven

The narration of this book is perfection.

Piper is put through the emotional ringer in this book. She is full of guilt, anger, and regret. She is full of longing for what she knows she can’t have and that blinds her to what she has in front of her for some of this book. It’s a storyline of growth and it’s raw. The narration matches that perfectly.

I’m interested to read book two and listen to it once the audio releases. I was left with many questions. What is going on with Bri? Part of me wants to dislike her, but another part is asking if her actions are her own. The new character at the end has me wondering what will happen next. Ronan is supposed to be this mega powerful being. He is the Harvester and it is mentioned over and over how easily he can annihilate someone so I’m confused as to how he and Piper are continually put into such precarious positions. Pipers new development and the end of this book was surprising and I am interested in reading how her new knowledge impacts her actions when faced with this new threat.

Your new favorite listen!

If you didn’t love Piper before you get to this book, you will now!
I absolutely loved the growth and changes Piper made for the better as she dealt with shock, heartache and a city on the brink of war.
Kel has crafted a story that will draw you in and have you falling in love with her dark and dangerous characters.
The Narrators brought the story to life as they sank deeper into their rolls in this book. You won’t want to miss a single word.

Fantastic story, I need more!

The story continues with Piper, Nat, and Ronan. I love them all. We get a lot of things going on, we finally get some revelations and there were twists and turns, and the steam went up, the emotional side got me in this one. Needless to say, I was left hanging again, and now more confused with everything, I really need the next one asap!

Emotional Overload

This book seemed more like a bridge to exciting things to come .I love being in the head of K.C. characters can't wait for more . The narrators convey so much detail and emotion .

What the flip!

Holy Heck this series continues to get better and better! So many twists and turns keep you wanting more as it ends. The narrators are fantastic and I love how they bring this world to life. I can't wait to see what happens next!

Love this series, book 3 was a little slower for m

I thought the 3rd installment of the Demons of New Chicago series was as little slower for me than books 1 and 2. I wasn't sucked in the entire time and could stop it and restart it a little later (books 1 and 2 was really hard for me to put them down, I would have listened to them straight through). Not saying I didnt like book 3, it is a solid 4 stars, I just wasn't as locked in as much. I thought it really picked up once Bree started, bregrundingly, training with Piper. I was always suspicious of her and you could see glimpses of herself but she kept it under this horrible persona. Like, I get being ripped from Hell where you had to fight to stay alive after being unceremoniously thrust there, buuuuut your sister did try and rescue you and you show no gratitude whatsoever. It was sad to see some decisions Bree did be thrown back at her, and the growing tension between the supes and humans I thought was done well. I was shocked about a character from a previous book showing up the way he did and Piper's reaction was priceless. I really like Nat and hoping to see her have a bigger role maybe in the future? The additional people being added to the side character group, esp those with or associated with people with blood connections was a good addition, despite getting a little confused with some of them haha. I did like how Piper had to come to gripes with pretty much being royalty in the supe community, she was trying to deny it and ignore it all she wants but it won't go away 🤣.

I thought again the narration was stellar. I did listen to this faster (1.3-1.4 times faster) because Savannah does tend to be slower than I'd like, but at the faster speed, it was amazing and I don't honestly have any constructive feedback. I thought Adam and Savannah had the emotions down pat, great inflections, made me believe the characters and the walls that were FINALLY coming down hahaha. So much love growing (I choked up with the talk of a possible future family! The narrators really made me root for them in that scene ❤️). Oh and the crushing heartbreak regarding Bree....beautiful and again heart wrenching 😭😭😭. 5/5 easily for the narration/performance!

I cannot wait until book 4 is out next year, I had a suspicion not all was what it seemed so that wasn't a shocker, but I didnt see that twist at the very end haha. Great job, Kel, I am going to be so sad to see this end in book 4 or maybe book 5??

fantastic series

really enjoy this series both narrators are great and am looking forward to the next one

Can’t get enough

I’m in luv with this series.. it keeps getting better and better.. and there’s always a tiny cliff hanger at the end.. not one to really make me mad but enough to say wth?! And totally want more! Narration is beautifully done and keeps me engrossed the whole time.

Can’t wait for book 4!!
