Excellent occult horror

Loved this book. A gripping start to what I hope will be a long, occult detective series. Terrific characters, great story telling and spot-on narration as well. Recommended for fans of crime noir and characters like John Constantine.

Powerless and Furious

Demonic horror with a slow burn deadbeat detective mystery. The writer based a character on the audiobook narrator and it feels like a fun camaraderie between the two that shines through despite never breaking the 4th wall; a spirited Irish narration. The book delivers on horror with a cool progression of things including a bit of bloodletting and a splash of sex. There are some cool twists and a near cosmic abstraction of horror beyond the visceral. It doesn't reinvent the wheel but takes well worn tropes in an engaging way.

Pleasantly Surprised

This was a great story with great narration. The main character was compellingly flawed and the story was well-crafted and engaging-a perfect mix of horror and mystery.

Really kept my interest

A great book! It's dark, fast, and seriously intense – the werewolf action is brutal and totally gripping. Great descriptive voice in the writing and narration.

Huge shoutout to Steve Jansen's narration. His voice *makes* it – perfect pacing, awesome character voices (especially the monsters!), and he nails that gritty, desperate atmosphere.
