Story
Kate Rossdale once held all the promise of becoming Baltimore’s greatest sorceress. But a promise is a hard thing to hold when your coven is murdered, your magic is stripped away, and the only solace left to you comes one powdered line at a time. When she’s offered the restoration of her power by a man she doesn’t know or trust, Kate sets in motion the retribution of her enemies. Soon she finds herself racing across the globe, hunting for the magic-thief who robbed her of everything she held dear, including the most dangerous magic any sorceress can possess - hope.

Publisher's Summary
In the same vein as Supernatural, Hellboy, and Blade
A secret society of monster hunters. A holy revolver forged to eradicate demons. A possessed man with a tragic past. A rising evil bent on destroying them all.
Matt Hollis is the current wielder of the holy weapon, DÄMOREN. With it, he stalks and destroys demons. A secret society called the VALDUCANS has taken an interest in Matt's activities. They see him as a reckless rogue - little more than a "cowboy" corrupted by a monster - and a potential threat to their ancient order.
As knights and their sentient weapons begin dying, Matt teams up with other hunters of his kind such as LUIZA, a woman with a conquistador blade; ALLAN, an Englishman with an Egyptian khopesh; MALCOLM, a voodoo priest with a sanctified machete; and TAKAIRA, a naginata-swinging Samurai. As the hunters become the hunted, they must learn to trust one another before a powerful demonic entity thrusts the world into a terrible and ageless darkness.

The Expendables meets Monster Squad
What made the experience of listening to Damoren the most enjoyable?
This was a solid book on all counts. The pacing was just right, it never felt that the story was languishing at any point - it always felt like the characters were moving towards a clear goal and there was always a sense of urgency.
Character development was handled skillfully as well. There are a LOT of characters in this book since we're dealing with effectively, an entire secret order of demon hunters. Add to that each of these hunters possesses a holy demon-killing weapon which is also, in and of itself, a character. Naturally, it can be difficult to progress and develop personalities within this large "cast" without feeling like you're getting bogged down with exposition. However, without getting into a lot of backstory on each individual - we are still able to learn about each character through their interactions with each other and with their environment.
I'm a sucker for good world-building, and myth-creation and I think Seth Skorkowsky does a fantastic job on both counts. The locales are easily visualized, and feel real and fleshed-out. The mythology surrounding the supernatural elements was an interesting twist on explaining the existence of monsters.
The action in this book is fantastic! The battle scenes are well-paced and fantastic fun to read. Major battle scenes play out pretty much as you'd expect if you were watching an R-Rated action or horror film - read: it gets pretty graphic at times. So if you're not a fan of that stuff, then this book may not be for you - but I am, so five stars all around from me!
Finally, R.C. Bray is fast becoming one of my favorite narrators on Audible. The guy has a pretty good range, and does a decent job of inhabiting the different characters (although sometimes his accents can be a little unconvincing). Also, his deadpan delivery of some of the funnier lines and observations from characters injects some extra levity throughout the story.
What other book might you compare Damoren to and why?
This is the first book I've read in the urban fantasy genre, so I can't compare it to any other books.
That said, the story, pacing, and mythology in Damoren were similar to that of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Hellboy, and even League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
What does R. C. Bray bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Honestly I don't know. At this point I pretty much just read books in "his voice" in my head now.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Absolutely.
Any additional comments?
The main character has an old-world pistol with the blade of a holy sword affixed to the barrel.
If you think that image alone is even a little bit awesome - then you need to read this book.

Fantastic!
Would you listen to Damoren again? Why?
Yes, I would listen to it again because the story is very intricate, layered, and I know I will get more out of it each time.
What did you like best about this story?
It was so unique. I thought it was going to be like Supernatural, but it wasn't at all. It was a completely different dynamic.
Have you listened to any of R. C. Bray’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No, I hadn't heard him before, but I liked him very much. His characterizations were extremely well done.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No, I prefer to listen to audio books in my car and over several days/weeks time. It gives me a chance to go back and listen to chapters over again, if I think I missed something.
Any additional comments?
By far one of the best 'debut' novels I have heard or read in a very long time.

Demon beware!
What made the experience of listening to Damoren the most enjoyable?
Damoren is a rare treat, a wonderful sword-swinging story with a well-chosen narrator who never gets in the way of the words, but delivers a really solid performance of a book that needs little embellishment, only clarity and grace in delivery.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Matt Hollis, who is the guy who's carrying the sword DAMOREN from the title, is the hero, and rightfully so -- a bit flawed, a bit of a daredevil, he's not a member of the Valducan elite in good standing, which makes him even more fun to root for. Of course, you can always root for the knights' sentient weapons...
What about R. C. Bray’s performance did you like?
This narrator, R. C. Bray, voiced every character, from the Englishman to Luiza, the lady with a sword, and even the samurai and voodoo priest, distinctly, making each one memorable. A fine performance.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Demons beware! Five swords know your name...

Damoren was a really good read!
This book surprised me I didn't expected it to be as good as it was. This book will pull you in from the beginning and not let you go tell the end. I don't often write reviews but I wanted to give it four and a half stars but couldn't from my phone. I'm a truck driver that runs over night and enjoy my books on the road. This book kept me going the entire 10 hour hale.

Better than expected!!!
This was a great book. I highly recomend it to anyone who likes books like Monster hunter inc.
I'm a picky reader and have lots of unfinished books in my library that i stoped listening to because thay were too generic or had logical holes. This book is solid from start to finish with good charakters and action. Unlike monster hunter inc I found this to be darker and less "Good guys win the day". No spoilers but no one is safe.
Can't wait to get the next book

Wasn't what I expected
If you could sum up Damoren in three words, what would they be?
Unique, action packed, a good listen.
What other book might you compare Damoren to and why?
I compared it a lot to Monster Hunter Inc. but it's a lot better than that.
What about R. C. Bray’s performance did you like?
He did a pretty solid job in the voice acting. Though his girl impersonation is a little poor, not bad though.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Kind of, I usually listen to it during my 8 hour shift.
Any additional comments?
I'm looking forward to the next book, the ending really got me intrigued about the origins of the weapons and all that fun stuff.

Wonderful new series begins with a bang
Where does Damoren rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I'd rank Damoren in the top ten percent of all audio books I've heard: the combination of Skorkowsy's propulsive prose and Bray's delivery is a perfect match. The action never stops, yet the characters come through as individuals. Kudos for these two for a terrific collaboration on a gripping story that is the beginning of a series yet has a satisfying conclusion all its own.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Damoren?
I fell in love as soon as Matt Hollis, current wielder of the holy weapon, Damoren, was introduced. Matt and his fellow demon-stalkers makes a believer out of me. Matt, the reckless loose cannon that can slash his way through any opposition is masterfully drawn, and his enemies will make you cringe. Although normally I'm not a fan of named weapons, in this story, each special weapon has its job, and a unique personality wielding it.
Have you listened to any of R. C. Bray’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This is the first audio-book I've heard that is narrated by R.C. Bray, and it won't be the last.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Bang goes the evil.
Any additional comments?
Highly recommended for fans of paranormal adventure.

Not to shabby!
Great narration is something that is very important to me when choosing a book. This one has an awesome narration in R.C. Bray and the story is solid. It's not 5 stars but a solid 4 stars. I'm looking forward to the next chapter.

Lovely little find
I read that this book was like Supernatural (the TV show) and was sold. Didn't read the description properly, but did not care. This is a great book if you like this sort of thing.
Story. Bang on the money;
- Good strong characters.
- At times a little complicated to follow but I don't mind that.
- Well written
- a real wholesome story where you can tell the author has thought about everything fully.
Narration. Love RC bray, I think he's one of the best narrator's out there and was a strong added influence in me wanting to listen to this book. If you haven't heard anything he's read before check him out, I cannot recommend The Martian enough (film does not do the book justice - film is almost offensive).
However, I had to mark him down to a 4 star in this review as his English accent was the thing of nightmares. Being English myself I had to make a stand :).
All in all great book produced very well.
I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys fantasy / sifi / monsters.

Pulp fiction
As per usual verbal lullaby that is RC Bray makes an ok story eminently more listenable. There is nothing wrong with the story, it could use some character development, it is obviously setting up for a long money making chain of novels, but if you like TV like Supernatural you will enjoy it, if like me you enjoy RC Bray (and why wouldn't you he has the vocal range and ability that warms the soul to listen to) you will enjoy this. Just don't expect any awards for this book, just enjoy it's pulpy goodness.

Pretty damn amazing!
Story reminds me somewhat of the Devil May Cry games mixed in with historical occultism and great action! Quite enjoyable!

Fantastic book!
Like many others, it's a book that I wasn't aware of. Let's just say I'm glad I purchased it. Brilliant storyline that's well thought out and it's narrated by Lord Bray. What more could you ask for.

How have I missed this?!?!
I picked this up based on a recommendation by Devon C Ford.
When another author speaks - I would be a fool not to listen!!
Narrated by lord bray himself, the book follows the adventure of Matt - the owner of a holy revolver Damoren.
DONT HESITATE, JUST DOOO IT.

Phenomenal
This has to be one of the best kept secrets in recent years.
How have I never heard of this series?
Why isn’t everyone wearing Dämoren t-shirts?
How have I not seen this advertised on Netflix?
Seth Skorkowsky has created a deep, immersive and highly entertaining underworld to throw us headlong into.
This is urban fantasy at its finest. Every scene holds tension, every chapter promises or delivers action with anticipation building into a steamroller crescendo which results simply in the immediate purchase of book 2.

This book was over much too quickly.
I'll fetch the next one as soon as possible.
It does exactly what it should: fast paced urban fantasy at it's best!

A slightly pulpy yet unique take on urban fantasy
Amazing. This is my first introduction into audiobooks and R.C Bray's narration was flat out amazing. Every character sprang to life in a cast of players as large as a blockbuster action movie.
And that's what this book feels like. A cinematic, well paced action movie that oozes mythos and... authenticity. The world constructed in Seth's book has a rich and well thought history, characters have agency and backstories. You can really seperate each of the many characters and no one blends together in a blur.
Not to give the plot away, but it's set in present day, involves an order of monster hunters and a grand ensemble of ghastly horrors. Vampires, werewolves, wendigos make an appearance. But they aren't your typical monster mash. The authors take on these creatures, what they are and how they operate is extremely unique.
I've already bought the second book in this series and I really hope Seth will continue to write and release books in this world. he's gripped me as content creator on YouTube and now has me as an author.
awesome stuff.
awesome stuff.

Absolute banger
A couple of questionable pronunciations of admittedly difficult languages, but otherwise a fantastic story.

Action Packed
This book is what I would class as a delightful popcorn book, it's got enough character development to be interesting to not forcing you to unravel the mysteries of the universe. it's got fantastic action and just the right amount of romance. it's a sit back relax and enjoy kinda story that has a outstanding pace. Not the kinda book a literary snob will talk about at parties but would enjoy reading in a tub on a relaxing Saturday.
