The Demon Accords, Book 20

De: John Conroe

Narrado por: Lily Ganser

The smallest of creatures often carry the sharpest of stings. Lydia Chapman is just such a vampire. Her small stature hides a mighty wit, a razor-edged tongue, and an implacable protector of the only natural-born vampire in existence. Here is the back story of the snarkiest hero on Team Gordon/Demidova, told in her own words, just for fans of the Demon Accords. Go ahead and underestimate her ... it'll be fun.

the 4th wall breaks are cool!

This a great story of the glue that holds them together! Especially liked the early years.

Finally Lydia’s story!

This is the 20th book in the urban fantasy/sci-fi Demon Accord series. It is always fun and exciting to visit the world where Lydia Chapman, Chris Gordon, Tanya Demidova, Declan O’Carroll and Stacia Reynolds live. Each book in the series continues to be engaging and the storylines continue to be fresh. This book is from Lydia’s point of view. We get Lydia’s back story interspersed with the continuation of where the last book left off. The world and its people have adjusted to the new normal. The overarching storyline continues about the pending attacks/invasion from Vorsook against earth, the death of millions of earth’s inhabitants, the deal with hell, and the arc about public opinion of our heroes and the various supernatural powers. I loved getting into Lydia’s head and seeing her relationship with the rest of the coven develop and deepen. Almost all of the characters from the other books are present in this book as well which gives the story more depth. The story includes what you’d expect from this genre - fighting, dangerous situations, end of the world scenarios, paranormal creatures, loyal friends and family, tragic back stories, mystical coincidences, snark, and laughs. I love this series. 4.5 stars.

Lily Ganser did a phenomenal job narrating the story and characters into life with enough change of inflection, tone and cadence to voice multiple characters quite convincingly.

Great story, Mid Narration

Story was good. The bouncing in time thing back and forth is kinda annoying. Especially since the narrator makes it hard to differentiate the characters.

Lydia’s story is great!!

Love this series and this just adds to it!! Left on a total cliff hanger.

this fits in the series very well. great narrator

this is another great book and listen. only downside is that it ended too fast and there isn't another yet. love this series.
