Summary

Book Seven of the Demon Accords. Chris Gordon has never had an easy relationship with the White House. Now, after rescuing his goddaughter from a secret base in New Hampshire, it’s reached a new low. You drop one little asteroid onto the continental United States and the entire government goes crazy. On top of that Halloween is fast approaching and demons are popping through into our world every which way. Forced into the world of high-level politics, Chris and Tanya and their merry crew will have to stay two steps ahead of just about everyone if they’re going to have a chance in hell of preventing all Hell from breaking loose.

Loved this series

Loved this series. Its even better how the narrator gives a voice to each character and you really feel all emotions from his voices, joy, sadness, humor, this has lead me to by the rest of this series and lots more books the narrator does.

good continuation marred by disatisfaction

fantastic performance as ever from the narrator. the plot bounces alonf fantastically, building through several climaxes and feels like it should have ended after the Washington fight.


however it gets stretched out at the end for a few more chapters which feel unnecessary and undermine the flow. it then starts to build towards a showdown that then doesnt happen and the characters get flung out leaving a sense of unresolved frustration..reading / listening to it left me feeling disatisfied. the book ties off but there was no catharsis or cumuppance and it feels jarring after a fantastic overall story.

loved it but this feels almost like a point where im uncertain about continuing the story. the characters are great but in starting to dislike tanya and warming a lot more to stacia. chris feels too reactive, too much like a tool of those around him despite his frustration with a nigh omniscient government that never seems to suffer any consequences.

by the end i just wanted the president to fet a decent scare, for his advisors to suffer actual consequence which the book hints towards but doesnt deliver on.

overall a good book but should have tied off a few chapters earlier

really?

I started really liking the series, until.
1.declan arrived.
2.that all the plots are the same, uncle sam calls, they come running to help like a good little American, then get shat on by the government.
that's it. it becomes so anoying, they do good, fighting evil. but come running back to the most evil thing of all the American government.
stupid, unrealistic and really really annoying.
the narration was excellent.
should have been an excellent series but the blind faith and attitude of the us gov makes it ridiculous and annoying.
