Hell Freezes Over

A Quincy Harker, Demon Hunter Novella

By: John G. Hartness

Narrated by: James Foster

Length: 3 hrs and 59 mins

Publisher's summary

He's no stranger to blood. His uncle is Count Dracula, the most famous vampire in history, after all. But what he finds in a quiet North Carolina family home rocks even the jaded Quincy Harker. Families are being slaughtered, butchered like animals, and it seems like the loving fathers are to blame.

But a ghostly visitor shows Harker that there is more to the story than he can see, even with his mystical Sight. So he goes chasing justice, and his quest takes him deeper and darker places than even his guardian angel can follow, and pits him against foes stronger than any he has ever faced before.

Will Harker solve the mystery before more men, women and children are brutally murdered? Can he fight the powers that are moving behind the scenes to keep the truth hidden? And will he be able to stop the murderer when he finds him? Or it?

Another solid listen

What did you love best about Hell Freezes Over?

Great characters, good story and excellent narration.

What did you like best about this story?

This world, I'll get every book produced in this series. I'm 100% hooked.

What does James Foster bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Are you kidding, james foster is one of the best, he IS the story for me.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yep, and tried. Stupid work...

Paranormal, action and just plain good

I received this book for free for an honest and unbiased review

I did not realize this but I have listened to John G Hartness' books before "the black knight chronicles" before I asked to receive this to review this book. So needless to say I am already a fan of his work. It was a different narrator though but he did a great job and was perfect for this book. This book goes about our main character, Quincy Harker, trying to figure out the murders of what looks like the father of family's killing their entire family. Quincy can see the dead children and talk to them and ask them yes or no questions because the kids cannot talk back. It has supernatural and paranormal, we have Angels, demons, possessions and of course his uncle is the one and only Dracula!
So for a shorter story I think this was a good one. I have and definitely will continue to read this authors work.
If you have not already, go check out "The Black Knight Chronicles" I enjoyed it as well, same author, different narrator.

Happy Reading/Listening!!!

Great continuation of the dracula legacy

This is the 2nd quincy harker novel I've read. It mixes magic, demons, angels, police, Dracula, and witty sarcasm for a fabulous blend of characters in a great story. I received this audiobook from the author narrator or publisher for free via audiobookblast in exchange for an unbiased review

only scratched the surface of the crazy adventures

Qunicy Harker, everyones favorite half vampire, magic wielding, demon hunting, homeland security agent, is back for another tale. My first impression was how different the cover artwork is for this fourth novella is compared to the rest of thee series. Going into this I was really hoping that the snarkiness and overall feel of the story is not different.

Harker has faced a variety of different foes in the previous stories, so I couldn’t think of what could possibly be next. Let me just say this. Somebody makes a deal with a devil and there are not any winners and angels have their own issues. The reoccurring characters, Quincy, Smith, Flynn, all continue to evolve with more and more being revealed. I was surprised at how little his Uncle was in this one. Not complaining because all I want Harker, Flynn and their banter, with an occasional interruption from Smith and their banter.

Hell Freezes Over does indeed have a slightly different feel. Don’t get excited, I do not mean this in a bad way. Here we have a series that is starting to grow up a little, yes just a little. What I mean is Hartness isn’t focusing on the crass humor to carry anything in the story. While it is there, and I do enjoy it, just not as in your face.

Hartness was able to expand on the paranormal world that lays just on fringes of the mortal world. I really think that he has only scratched the surface of the crazy adventures that Harker will find himself.

I continue to see great things on the horizon for this series and wonder how long Hartness can keep it going with a fresh new story each time.

James Foster has made Harker his. Foster is Harker. Plain and simple. He has changed his “normal” storytelling voice into something that almost doesn’t sound like him. Continuing to refine his gravely undertones. Coming up with entertaining voices for the demons and such. I really don’t think that anyone else could do better. And if it wasn’t Foster telling the story it wouldn’t be Quincy Harker.

an interesting Dracula follow-on

If you could sum up Hell Freezes Over in three words, what would they be?

hard-boiled, ass-kicking do-gooder

What did you like best about this story?

The basic decency of the protagonist, who is otherwise a hard-nosed hit-man type.

Which character – as performed by James Foster – was your favorite?

Quincy was well-done and believable

werw

Full of bada$$ery, wisea$$ery, and snarka$$ery!
A likely contemporary of Harry Dresden, Mercy Thompson, and Atticus O'Sullivan, Harker is a police consultant in Charlotte NC. His family line includes The Count, and he has a Guardian Angel? His partner is Detective Bex Flynn, and they share a mind link ever since he saved her life with a blood share. Add to all this, a demon, brutal murders linked to a parish church, and a nagging ghost of one of the victims, and a terrific audio performance by James Foster (I know him from Tesser), and you have a real winner! I had not encountered this author/series before, but you can bet that it is on my radar now!
