A great beginning

I love the concept of this new series, and truly enjoyed this first book. I like the two main characters, although the book would benefit with some professional editing.

The narrator, Matt Jenkins, does a great job.

All in all, this is a very interesting read, and a promising new series.

The Balance of Good vs. Evil

I really enjoyed the main protagonists for their poise in very horrific circumstances, and the "bad guys" (particularly Claire) for their resourcefulness and resilience. Set in the UK, the narrator did an excellent job on the accents and portrayed both male and female characters proficiently. There is even some humor thrown with a pair of demons and an angel. Fun Read/Listen.

Marked as A Horror really more of a Thriller!

This is a story of 2 detectives who work for the Special Investigation: Investigating Supernatural Creatures. Through the book you met various supernatural characters some criminal and some just everyday (Persons) just trying to get by. I thought the Narrator did a great job bring the story to life. I am going to start the 2nd book next!! Note some details graphic so squeamish might not want to listen/read this story.
