From Million-Selling Author Robert J. Crane...

A demon hunter without a home. A cop without a cause. A seemingly unstoppable evil rising in a small town...

WARNING: Contains violence, coarse language and sexual situations.

***THIS 8-BOOK SERIES IS NOW COMPLETE***

Archibald "Arch" Stan was a local cop in Midian, Tennessee that was good at his job, good at being a husband, and exceptionally good at hiding his disappointment at not being able to figure out what was missing in his life that made it all seem so empty. Lafayette Hendricks looked like a drifter, a broken-down hitchhiker blown through Midian on the prevailing winds. When Arch catches him in a fight on the town square, though, things start to get weird, fast, because the guy he's fighting doesn't die when he gets shot. And Hendricks is carrying a sword.

Pretty soon, Arch's whole life is turned upside down by Hendricks's revelation that there's a secret world operating under the one he's been living in his whole life - one filled with demons, chaos, and unspeakable evils, one of which is already in town, stirring trouble. And if the two men don't band together to keep watch on the darkness falling on Midian, then this small town might just get swallowed up by the forces of evil - with the rest of the world to follow shortly behind.

Good read

Nice urban fantasy horror what ever you call it and takes place with in a few dozen miles a my front door which is fun

computer natation fail

The first chapter of this book is an introduction to 3 different characters. While I enjoyed the book itself, computer narration just ran all the paragraphs together so you couldn't tell you had switched to a different character. It just made things very confusing. There was also no fluctuation in accent when the book specified heavy accents, and the colorful colloquialisms used didn't sound right with the flat narration. The narration lacked the emotional fluctuation that draws a person into the story.

Virtual Voice Naration was Excellent

This story is really scary in the beginning. But it was very interesting and held my attention. I honestly credit virtual voice for that. The reading was so smooth & soothing to my ears that, although it was creepy or scary, it also relaxed me mentally.

Great storyline Bad virtual voice

I really enjoyed the story but the virtual voice is not good. I would love to listen to the other books in the series but won't.

The AI narrator.

The AI is not something that I like. First time listening to one. Probably will be the last. Difficult to follow when the author moved to different characters perspective. The delivery of “oh” is also an issue.

Unfortunately, can't stand the AI narration!

I am sorry, but I really tried to listen to the book, but I just can't with the AI voice. The lack of inflection, the practically same voice for all characters, and the running of paragraph and change of events into another was hard to follow...at least for me. It felt like one giant run on sentence. It's a shame, because I liked the storyline based on what I could gather, so this is no reflection on the author or his writing. l will probably just buy the books and read them. Thanks.

Greatest author there is.

Just like all his other titles, Crane tells an amazing story that draws you in and holds you tight through the entire story.

Good book bad narrator

The book is one of my favourite starts to a series with show me world building and less dialogue to hear what things are. However the AI narrator is horrible, wrong inflections and weird word pronunciation. would love to hear an actual narrator read.

poor narrator

The narrator made it difficult to understand the difference between characters. The narrator's voice is relaxing but I feel annoyed trying figure out who is talking. I also wish it was more atmospheric. All & all I feel that the story is cheated by the narration.

Nope

No more virtual voice. Just hire an actual person to read the book. I can’t count the number of times I had to rewind and listen to parts again to figure out when a scene had changed, or to figure out what character was speaking, etc, etc.
