Suspenseful without being predictable

The Divine Devils kept me completely off my game as far as being able to predict what was around the corner and this was refreshing. One thing I will say, if you are one of those listeners/readers that looks to find fault in the tactical accuracy you will, but I'm not sure what a book like this is written for. Also the character development is much more engaging because even those characters that are just spotlighted have enough build up to want to see them more. Excited to read the next book in this series.

Action and suspense

After getting let go from the US Marshal service the main character Hunter Devine works with a group of individuals that have specific skills. Their job is to protect two children of a prominent family that someone is trying to kidnap. With an unsuspected twist toward then end. Lots of action. The story line was interesting to follow. At first the narrator was a bit hard to listen to because dialogue of the story did not have emotion. But there are many different characters that the narrator worked very well in different voices. This made up for the dryness of the rest of it. Good job to both the author and narrator.

Good story line

The narrator sucks. Not enough or maybe of dramatic change in voices. Voice didn't really fit the story.
The plot did have you coming back to see what's going to happen. I love the culture incorporation. I would read another book in the series.

Action packed through out.

This book was not my normal genre but I am very glad I branched out, I was a little concerned at first that the number of characters introduced so quickly would be hard to keep up with. Fortunately the author did an amazing job at introducing them and giving you their story and weaving them together perfectly, So many twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat through out and even had my gasp out loud a few times once in a busy store as I was listening while grocery shopping. I am so glad I branched out of my normal read.

The narrator threw me at first.

When I began listening I almost didn't finish. The narrator just seemed flat and like he was trying to hard. I kept listening and the story started getting good so I ignored the narrator and concentrated on the story. I can't wait for the next in the series.

Amazing story and Great Narrator!

This story was action packed with some mystery and drama. I’m looking forward to more books by the author that may becoming available through audible. The narration performance was great and Phillip showed his versatility.

Action and Suspense

The Devine Devils is a well written book that is fast-paced, action filled drama that will definitely stand the hands of time. The interactions with the characters are believable and realistic. Phillip Polite is an excellent narrator he made the story real. I received this book for free upon my request. I am voluntarily leaving my honest and unbiased review here of my own free will.

Fantastic Book

This was my first book by thus author. I was blown away with the fast paced, action-packed adventure of this book. It was well written and easy to follow. I was impressed with the narrator Philip Polite. He was able to voice many accents in both male and female very well. I look forward to the next book.

My First Book By This Author

This is my first book by this author, but after listening to this incredible episode of The Divine Devils it certainly won't be my last. I like this author's writing style, how there is a play on words with Hunter Divine's name, he's a hunter on the side of divinity, clever don't you think? He's on the trail of an evil antagonist., the story is id intriguing, thrilling, and chilling too, I have to say that I loved the devilish touches. It's so easy to get lost in the story it's written in such a way that it's believable, even though it's quite impossible.

The story is smooth-flowing and well-written it pulled me in and gripped me from beginning to end, It's thrilling and intriguing the characters are well-drawn and interesting and at times intense. The plotline is great and easy to follow whilst ensuring that you're kept guessing what will happen next. I look forward to listening to more from this series.

The narration is performed very well by Phillip Polite, he's a new narrator for me but one I enjoyed listening to.
