Narrated by: Shawn Compton

Length: 8 hrs and 56 mins

Publisher's Summary

Two worlds. Dark magic rising. The end game.

Why is it always in the middle of the night? The call came in, an old friend, a harrowing problem, and a fight to the death, literally. Then, I found myself on a breakneck journey to a place I’d hoped I’d never have to see again. And that was before the real fireworks began.

Next up on the rollercoaster ride to hell; secret meetings, an occult hideout, and an army of the most sinister evil imaginable. And the battle to end all battles that was in this world, and it had nothing on what I was about to face in the next as I pursued my final enemy into the blackest of nights.

The Shadow Rises is the fifth and ultimate Morgan Rook novel in the The Order of Shadows series.

If you love supernatural thrillers, high octane action, and gritty magical adventures, then you’ll love this new book from Kit Hallows, author of Urban Fantasy books with teeth!

Entertaining

Plenty of action and entertaining storyline. The characters are likable and interesting. Great ending to the series. The narrator did a good job! I received a free copy of this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Morgan Rook - The sage ends

The final installment in the quest for Mogan Rook did not disappoint. Morgan resolve all his daddy and sibling issues. Alstriad put off Morgan‘s sexual overtures (two is company and three is a crowd, remember Emeric). They finally got their intimate moment. Samuel got beer; lot of it. The action was fast, furious, and ferocious. Mogan’s detox program was painful enough that he will never partake in dark magic again. Mogan and friends left lots of dead bodies and demons in their wake in the blinkered world, Hindered land and Penrythe.

Knowing this was the last installment I tried to make the reading/listening last, that did not work. The story was so engrossing, and action packed that I did not put it down.

Strong conclusion to this series

As the 5th and final book in this series, it is obviously unsuited to be the starting point for new readers and they would be better off starting from the equally entertaining first book in this series instead.

The problems and challenges facing Morgan Rook continue to mount with the increasing possibility of war between the supernatural and mundane sides of earth being merely an appetiser for him to deal with prior to the main course of stopping the shade who has plagued much of his life.

The performance of the narrator serves to nicely enhance this book with a varied and distinctive range of tones for a large cast.

Overall, a very good conclusion to an entertaining series.
