Publisher's summary

Over a hundred years have passed since a group of violent killers went on the rampage, murdering innocent victims for fun. But even back then, sorcerer Nate Garrett, aka Hellequin, knew there was more to it than simple savage pleasure—souls were being stolen.

Nate's discovery of the souls' use, and of those supporting the group's plan, made him question everything he believed.

Now the group Nate thought long dead is back. Violent, angry, and hell-bent on revenge, they have Hellequin firmly in their sights. And if he won't come willingly, they'll take those closest to him first.

The battle begins again.

Inconceivable

I have listened to all of the Hellequin books, & all I can say is wow. Steve Mchugh is truly gifted. The characters, the story, & the way it reads has kept me wanting more.

The only problem is that no one knows if or when a book 6 will be written, so I try to pace myself so I can enjoy it for as long as possible, when all I want to do is listen to it.

Buy all of the books, you won't be disappointed.

Amazing

This series keeps getting better and better. There is so much going on and so many characters. But, McHugh does a great job managing this complex world. I love this series.

I laugh I cry I yelled

I have to admit I was not going to get stuck in yet another series... but I have become hooked.. I am looking forward enough to the book 6 that I have started telling out people about the series... if it every gets done as a tv show... the lead guy on prison break . Anyhow if you are looking for a book with a mix of emotions yeah- take a gander.
It will be hard not to like some of the characters.

The adventures of Nate (Hellequin) continue...

This fifth book in the Hellequin series moves the main, overarching plot forward quite a bit. There are a number of significant developments that take place along the way, and several major situations change in a no-turning-back sort of way. As is typical with this series, the book was riveting from start to end and left me wanting more, yet was also very satisfying at multiple points along the way.

Disclaimer: I received a free, advance copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for my unbiased review.

That being said, I also had it on pre-order for Kindle and Audible, which I'm paying for. It's that good.

I loved this story. The whole series so far is extremely well done. The narrator does a wonderful job telling the story. I look forward to the next book in the series.

Awesome Series!

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

Nate/Hellequin when he is kicking ass and taking names! Which is one of the main reasons I like this series.

Any additional comments?

Steve McHugh keep up the amazing work, I can't wait for the next book! My only real "complaint" is that I've been waiting for another blood seal to break! No luck so far lol and I want Nate kicking Merlin's ass asap!!
