With Silent Screams: Hellequin Chronicles, Book 3

This is the third book in the Hellequin series by Steve McHugh. This is a tightly written, action filled novel. The story hits the ground running and doesn't let up until the end. With Silent Screams is a stand-alone novel but will mean more if you have read the previous books first.

As with the other novels, this book moves between the current time and an event in the past related to the current issue. Think highlander but with wizards. It is easy to like the main character and there is enough mystery about him to keep you engrossed throughout the story. He's definitely a guy you'd like to buy a beer and listen to his stories. The magic system, while a bit vague, is fun, structured and makes sense in it's own way.

James langston performs this story and does an admirable job. Admittedly, he took a bit of getting used to, but by the third book it is like revisiting an old friend. I was eagerly awaiting this novel and Mr. McHugh definitely did not dissappoint. If you are fans of urban fantasy series like Dresden Files, Iron Druid, Alex Versus or Peter Grant you will enjoy this one as well.

Please note that for the most part this one is friendly to younger readers but he does throw in a sex scene or two that may be deemed too explicit for younger listeners.

yes... I would listen to all the series again... especially to refresh for a new book.

I have withdrawal syndroms... I really want to know more ;)

This series has become a favorite of mine. The character development gets better with every book, the plot is well done, the flashbacks are well-timed and add to the story, and the overall writing is excellent. Combine that with a great narration and you can't go wrong!

Write Faster! Want more!

Werewolves, knights, trolls, elementals, magic, and a whole lot more!

Wow! I love it when I find new Authors and stories to love.

There were multiple moments where I either laughed out loud or feel utter grief stricken for/because of one of the characters. If you have read the first books in this series and are on the fence I highly recommend this book.

These get a bit better with every book. The plot a bit more complicated. I always like the characters.

I like that this series has the same narrator for every book. He does a good job.

Pacing and character interaction are much improved.

These people appear to be playing a game. One that we do not yet know the rules of.

Another book like the first two, with a past story being told simultaneously with the present predicament Garrett finds himself in. I guess, my problem is not having to wait a year between books, as this formula which I once enjoyed is getting rather old. The story's back and forth 30 years seemed harder to follow this time; I think that problem could be resolved by reading instead of listening.

the performance is great the story is great why not listen or read it. on to the next book for me

Really good series. If you like this sort of stuff check it out! Worth a listen and a good narrator!
