I loved the author's Jonathan Shade series and thought I would give his standalone book ago. While I did enjoy it, it was nothing like the Shade series, it is more darker and with non of the banter and humour that I have come to enjoy. It was not what I was expecting but I was still hooked until the end. I don't know what genre I would say this book comes under, maybe supernatural/ mystery/ apocalyptic/ super hero? To be honest there was a lot going on, so just sit back and be prepared to be taken for a ride in a genre all on its own. I liked the characters, especially Roy who despite not knowing what he was doing or how to help, was still willing to try. The homeless angle was a nice touch and worked well for the story, giving it another unusual aspect. Definitely not your normal run of the mill story.
When his homeless friends start dying in strange and mysterious ways, Roy knows he has seen this before and there is only one person who can help, the man who stopped it the last time Jim. But after what went down last time Jim is a changed man and Roy isn't even sure if the aging biker will help. With Roy the only connection between the death's he knows his only hope is convincing Jim to come out of hiding and put a stop to it once and for all or die trying.
The narrator wouldn't have been my choice, great sounding for a tough as nails biker and homeless man but to deep and gruff for my liking. I had to really concentrate sometimes to understand what he said.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
