Publisher's summary

From the Quincy Harker, Demon Hunter universe comes this thrilling new dark fantasy series!

They are humanity's defense against the supernatural. They are the light in the darkness. They are the guardians that walk in the night. They are the Shadow Council.

Joanna Harrison is a freelance editor, working mother, and loving daughter. She is also the great-granddaughter of legendary steel driving man John Henry, and she has taken up his hammer to fight against the monsters that threaten her family and her world. She is Jo Henry, and she packs one hell of a punch.

Jo is fighting like the devil, looking for an angel. She's on a mission to find the Archangel Michael, give him back his holy sword, and bring his memories back. But first she has to stay alive. Through underground cage fights and demon hunts in the desert, Jo will need all the help she can get to wake up the angel. And when a demon kidnaps her mother and daughter, it's time to come out swinging.

Calling All Angels is a serialized novella in the Quincy Harker universe. It kicks off the action of the Quest for Glory story line.

Loved it!

Jo Henry is given an assignment by Quincy Harker: find Michael the Archangel and get him back in the game. So she works nights in illegal Mixed Martial Arts cage matches in order to find him, but when she does, he doesn't remember being an angel at all, even when she gets him to hold his sword and it bursts into flame! Lots of action and a couple of disgusting demons. Just exactly what I expect from a Hartness book!

Finally!

I have been waiting for the next installment in this great series. The characters feel like old friends. While I miss Quincy, I appreciate this deeper look in Jo’s background. I felt like I had a good basic introduction but really enjoyed the deeper look. When stress is running high in real life, it is with a welcome happiness that a new story is on the horizon. It provides a break and I find myself rooting for these characters. Kudo’s to the author, you have brought to life characters, that while certainly not always good guys, they would be the people I would want on my side. Keep the stories coming.

You called I came

This is my first introduction to John C. Harkness' writings, and I have to say, the only problem I have with the book, it was way to short. I'm looking at Harknes' series and I'm going to start at the beginning. A quick comment about the narrator Mr Foster did a really good job with the characters gave them very distinct voices easy to identify. The one aspect I found refreshing is the distinctive rhythms and inflections without becoming a caricature of the different characters. For that I thank you

Love 💘

Jo kicks major butt! I love this series, very well written. It keeps me laughing AND horrified at the same time. And please, let it not be said, EVER, that Mr. Hartness is afraid to kill a character!

Good start

I love this author and this is well read. It is annoying these related stores are sliced so thinly. A compendium would be worth a credit but it's hard to track all these shorts that really belong toget so -1 for that.
