FINALLY!

I've been reading/ listening to this series for 10 years. over the last three main books, I had started to despair for the writing. THIS book reminded me why I love this series. Katrina had always been interesting to me, and she gets her own storyline.
The performance was great, though listening to someone else do voices I had grown used to was jarring at first.
Overall: enjoy the ride, I sure as hell did!

Awesome Series!

Loved the new story by John Conroe. I will definitely read (not listen) multiple times. The only downside was that the narrator did not do her homework and pronounced several of the names incorrectly.

The narrator was terrible

The main character of this one is female, so I understand why they would try a female narrator, but this was not well read. I enjoyed the story as I always do, but it was seriously hard to listen to. The narrator’s speed was incredibly irritating. I had to set it to 1.25 speed just to make it tolerable. She read every single sentence like the character or the audience was supposed to be absolutely astonished. She has also clearly never listened to any of the previous demon accord audiobooks, which ok, may not be regular practice for narrators, but after 18 books, her mispronunciation of names and terrible accents were painful to listen to. I sincerely wish they had used to usual narrator.

Great Story

This author never fails to disappoint. Another incredible adventure that is hard to stop or pause.

Story decent, narration could have been better

Not a bad back story, first half was better. Narration needed work, female characters sounded a lot better than the male counterparts, if you change your primary narrator at least keep the pronunciation the same.

Another Homerun!!

A great addition to a terrific series. The narrator pronounced a few names differently than normal, but finally getting Kat's tale makes it bearable.

Finally , Katrina’s history.

Thank you Mr Conroe for this latest edition to the Demon Accords., With Darkkin Knight you have enriched Katrina’s character. You have given her a rich back story and filled in all those holes that left us saying, “Hmmmmm!” Can’t wait for the next one.

loved it

great story and she did great job narrating. awnsered alot of questions I had. keep up the great books

Bad narration

I really hope this is a one off and James Patrick Cronin will be back for the next book. I can't take another book narrated by Lilly. I could get over the pronunciation changes, but she reads so... syrupy, overly dramatic.... I feel like I'm listening to what I imagine a trashy romance novel would sound like. her accents are terrible, and her voices for the characters are even worse. I love this series, and the story seemed pretty solid, but if this narrator does the next book, I doubt I'll get it.

Backstory/Performance

I thoroughly enjoyed the back story about Katrina until...... Katrina's constant adoration and sounding like the president of the Tonya/Chris fan club didn't quite fit in with the earlier persona created by the author. She kind of went from hardened spy to eager do girl which kinda killed it for me. I dislike the pronunciation of the character names by the narrator. Also it was very difficult to distinguish between male characters and female characters by listening to the narrator.
