Lots of action and tragedy

I love the Event group! I have enjoyed every book by David Lynn Golemon and I can’t wait for the next chapter of the team. There were some very sad moments which left me in tears but with all the danger the group has encountered it is inevitable that some will perish. I didn’t care much for the narrator because he did not always use accents like Russian or the French accent of Henry Farveau. And it seemed like most characters had a southern drawl. If I didn’t already know the characters from the Event Group I would have been confused on who they were. I really enjoyed the voice of Jeffery Kafer from The Empire of the Dragon so it was quite a difference. Thank you Mr Golemon for another excellent book! I can’t wait for the next book!

Thrill ride from start to finish!

Another great Event Group Thiller to listen to as you go about your day. A fun story from start to finish with great moments and characters throughout

review of book

was not up to par as the rest of the books in series. Kind of disappointing.

1.25 speed

A complete decline in narration. I don't believe he even listen to the old ones to get an idea of what we were used to. Found it only bareable once put onto 1.25 speed. Story is still great enough to hanlde the poor reading.

A real Thriller

loved the story. though the bad guy got killed off so quickly and the outside good person so uselessly you wonder if they will return. we will see.

Narration

The narration of the book is horrible. I have enjoyed this complete series but I can't even finish this last installment I do hope that they get better narration in the next one.

Another great Event Group book

I don’t normally post reviews but, having just finished listening to”Season of the Witch” and seeing the reviews posted thus far, I felt compelled to comment. First let me say that I have read/listened to every book in this series. This is a great series with good storylines and great characters. “Season of the Witch” does not disappoint. It does contain some tragic outcomes for the Event Group, for which some readers have complained. I understand that it’s hard to lose characters in an ongoing series but this is as it is in real life. I cannot wait for the next book in the series. The reason for my posting this review is because of the reviews that have been posted regarding the narration of the audio version. The majority of the books were narrated by Richard Poe. “Empire of the Dragon” and “Season of the Witch” were narrated by Jeffrey Kafer and Francis G. Kearney, respectively. There are negative reviews for both of these books that are based solely on the fact that they were not narrated by Mr. Poe. I agree he is a great narrator. However, Mr. Kafer and Mr. Kearney are also. Their styles are different but, to me, it did not distract from the great stories. And after all, isn’t that why we listen to audiobooks; for the story? With the last two books, Mr. Golemon has changed publishers and maybe that is why Mr. Poe cannot be obtained for the narration. I don't know, but regardless, this is still a worthwhile series to listen to. Mr. Golemon, please keep the Event Group books coming.

A Noticeable Trend

Is the author getting ready to shut down this book series or is the plan to change out all the characters? In the past few books he has killed off almost all of the primary people in this series.
The bigger concern is the guy reading the book. There isn’t too much variation in the voice as he portrays different people. Accents tend to slip away after a while. Worst of all is his cadence in voicing the book. It just may be me, but I drift off after a bit from the droning.
As far as the actual story goes it had a slow start, built to an interesting premise, then in a few short pages we have won out over adversity. Some characters and their development seemed pointless for their short life cycle in this story.

In love with these books!

I am really hoping this isn't the last and that there will be more! my only problem is the gentleman narrating this book! For one thing he can't pronounce words correctly him saying the word Shadow like Shade-oh is about to make me scream! accents if different characters go in and out. another word he seriously butchered was Pentacle pronouncing it pent-angle! like I said I really hope for more of these books because the story line, the characters, and everything in between is amazing just don't let this guy read them anymore. Please.

Narrator is poor

Yes the narrator leaves a lot to be desired. He definitely needs coaching. I was not willing to not listen because I absolutely love this series.
