Cursed City

Shadow Detective, Book 1

By: William Massa

Narrated by: Adam Verner

My name is Mike Raven. I hunt nightmares.

Demons murdered my parents when I was eight. Turns out my folks were paranormal investigators, and hell always settles its scores. Naturally I decided to join the family business.

For two decades, I've studied the occult and traveled the world fighting monsters. Vampires. Shifters. Demons. Ghosts. I've faced them all. But my biggest challenge lay ahead....

From the moment Celeste stepped into my office, I knew she was in trouble. Black magic trouble. Her father had promised her soul to a powerful demon on the day she was born. Now, 21 years later, the forces of darkness were gathering to collect their long-awaited prize.

Guess who's about to pick a fight with the devil himself....

For fans of Supernatural, Constantine, Hellboy, Grimm, Buffy, Jim Butcher's Harry Dresden and Larry Correia's Monster Hunter International. Dark, urban fantasy collides with the supernatural, action thriller.

Excellent start to a series.

Another great listen from the imagination of Micheal Massa. Really hope to see more of the series on Audible.

it's ok

So far as I cam tell, this is a meh attempt at the Dresden files and it only dreams of being monster Hunter International. It is not an awful book but it comes off as heavy handed for Christian faith and symbolism, feeling more like a staunch church goer is attempting to try a hand at the art of story telling but just can't seem to do better than, "demons bad and faith in God good."

Entertaining enough

I was recommended this author after finishing other contemporary urban fantasy paranormal detective selections. While it had all the moving parts of this kind of story, I just couldn't get into the lead character's story. It felt as though it tried to handle too much in too short a book. The voice actor does a good job with the material though.
