Publisher's summary

Kate Daniels works for the Order of the Knights of Merciful Aid, officially as a liaison with the mercenary guild. Unofficially, she cleans up the paranormal problems no one else wants to handle—especially if they involve Atlanta’s shapeshifting community.

When she’s called in to investigate a fight at the Steel Horse, a bar midway between the territories of the shapeshifters and the necromancers, Kate quickly discovers there’s a new player in town. One who’s been around for thousands of years—and rode to war at the side of Kate’s father.

This foe may be too much even for Kate and Curran, the Lord of the Beasts, to handle. Because this time, Kate will be taking on family...

This dramatized audiobook also includes 3 short stories: Naked Dinner, Conclave and Awake.

dramatization improves an already great story

the voice actors really bring out some of the interactions that on just a normal reading you wouldn't see

Love!

Love, love, love this series and this version! GraphicAudio did a nice job bringing this story to life! My preferred play speed is 1.2x as it is delivered at a normal conversational speed. Love the action, dialogue exchange, fight scenes, and the drama! However, most of all, I like having Curran’s point of view in audio!!!

Absolutely excellent cast

This is one of my all time favorite series. Listening to the GA version makes me ridiculously happy. My only wish is that they could release the series faster—but I get it, perfection takes time.

I Loved Everything!

I loved it all and disliked nothing! I read and listened to the original versions, but this is epic!

book to script

I really enjoyed the performance overall. I understand the need to make interactions more "PC". I only disliked that they cleaned up some of my favorite interactions "welding the slut hut shut" changed to "welding the guest room shut". Very nitpicky. I enjoyed the cast performance. It is amazingly close to what I imagine the interactions when I read the book.

Family! Am I right?

“You don’t pick the family you’re born into, you pick the one you make.”
While the first three books set the scene (magic, tech shifting modern day earth with were-animals, vampire navigators, and godlike beings) and developed the main characters, this book busts open the full playing field, setting up the promise of several sprawling storylines for upcoming books.

Among the wider developments is a true introduction to the seven were-clans and the politics of how they weave together, new and complex characters (Aunt Bea is a formidable alpha... gotta love strong women), powerful backstories for Curran and Kate, and, perhaps most importantly, focus of families new (Julie and Curran) and old (Kate’s blood relatives). I loved the mystery and villains in this book, and the magical slant on biblical tales. Era is a villain I loved to hate.

Of course, my favorite component to Book 4 is the Kate-Curran merger. Finally! The fighting-flirting-fighting dynamic reached a fever pitch here, in hot and hilarious fashion. Loved it. And I love that the banter doesn’t fade after they get together.

And Grendl. Let’s not forget Grendl.

Plus, in this graphic audio format, the add-on Curren POVs at the end of the book are a great supplement to some of the pivotal events.

So good! Another winner

Soooo good! I’m loving these Graphic Audio productions of the Kate Daniels series. The animal growls, sound effects and CURRAN.. OMG his voice brought to life is EPIC. The Kate Daniels series is already AMAZING and action packed but listening to it being brought to life with a full cast and sound effects is epic. I can’t wait to listen to the next one.

Fantastic!

Fantastic performances which really brought the story to life! Can't wait for the next book

love this book series

Really enjoyed this version of the book. Really wish this series would be made into a movie.

Absolutely Amazing

One of my favorite series!!! Can't wait until all of it is available as Graphic Audios.
