Prelude: A Supernatural Suspense Series

An Alec Winters Series, Book 1

By: Chariss K. Walker

Narrated by: Walt Allen

A young man is supernaturally transformed!

It all began when 17-year-old Alec, a New Orleans teen jock, discovered a terrible family secret involving his younger sister, Catalina. Alec's ensuing rage and desire for retribution took over. His fury was the catalyst that propelled Alec into this paranormal change.

Was the Winters’ family secret instrumental in changing Alec’s life, or was it his destiny?

As both angel and demon, he is a protector of innocent victims and a punisher of those who hurt them.

Prelude, a prequel to Crescent City, shares a behind-the-scenes look at Alec's life before that fateful night and gives little known facts about Alec’s relationship with Sabrina, Chaz, and Danae.

This dark urban fantasy and supernatural suspense thriller is only the beginning of Alec’s controversial story as an angel and demon. You can discover more about his life on the gritty streets of New Orleans in Crescent City, Port City, and Harbor City, the last installment in this emotionally charged four-book series.

Author's Warning:

Rated R: This dark fiction story deals with elements of fear, death, and the darkest side of life, and contains many emotional triggers. Not for the faint of heart, and not recommended for those under the age of 17.

Fans of the movie The Equalizer and the television series Supernatural and Constantine will enjoy An Alec Winters series.

prelude

the avenging angel/demon concept made for an interesting story. narration was clear and also understandable.

Angel or Demon?

Chariss Walker has crafted a tale in which the main character, named Alec, is an angel to the people that he saves but he is a demon to the people that he punishes. I enjoyed this story and found it to be thought provoking, fascinating, and emotional. I recommend this book for others who like supernatural suspense stories, but please note that some of the scenes and language are inappropriate for younger readers. Walt Allen does a great job as the narrator and provides distinct voices for the characters. I was given a free copy of the audiobook and I have voluntarily left this review.

very good

This was a very well written story, The character building was fast and effective. The narrator was on point and moved at a steady pace.
If you like a good supernatural story then I highly recommend this book.

Great story!

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

The narration was pretty good but a bit slow. I tend to listen to most books at around 1.4x but this one, I had to increase up to 1.6x. Other than that, the narrator was great!

The storyline flowed very well and I did not feel that I was missing anything as I listened. I am a big fan of supernatural, fantasy and thrillers so this book hit all of my buttons for a good story. It was dark, it was disturbing, it had great characters and a great storyline.

Demon or angel, that's the question?

This is the first book I've read by Chariss Walker but it won't be the last. I look forward to the next part. This leaves you hanging and wondering but at least it's not a cliffhanger. I don't do spoilers I can't stand them. It's well written and worth listening to. It sort of a mix of the old series of the equalizer and supernatural with a twist.
The narrator pulls off a excellent southern drawl, but it's a bit slow. I had to speed it up one notch.
