Publisher's summary
A demon hunter without a home. A cop without a cause. A seemingly unstoppable evil rising in a small town...
WARNING: Contains violence, coarse language and sexual situations.
Archibald "Arch" Stan was a local cop in Midian, Tennessee that was good at his job, good at being a husband, and exceptionally good at hiding his disappointment at not being able to figure out what was missing in his life that made it all seem so empty.Lafayette Hendricks looked like a drifter, a broken-down hitchhiker blown through Midian on the prevailing winds. When Arch catches him in a fight on the town square, though, things start to get weird, fast, because the guy he's fighting doesn't die when he gets shot. And Hendricks is carrying a sword. Pretty soon, Arch's whole life is turned upside down by Hendricks's revelation that there's a secret world operating under the one he's been living in his whole life - one filled with demons, chaos, and unspeakable evils, one of which is already in town, stirring trouble. And if the two men don't band together to keep watch on the darkness falling on Midian, then this small town might just get swallowed up by the forces of evil - with the rest of the world to follow shortly behind.If you like Jim Butcher, Kevin Hearne, Stephen King, Michael Anderle, Shayne Silvers, Shannon Mayer, or J.R. Rain, you will LOVE the first installment of the Southern Watch series.

Story
Separated by distance and choices, Archibald "Arch" Stan and Lafayette Hendricks find themselves far apart when the message comes through: the world is ending in three days, and Hell is coming. The apocalypse will begin in Midian, Tennessee, a small town where once upon a time, nothing happened. Now...everything is happening. The fate of the world will turn on whether Midian survives the next three days. It will all come down to Arch, the Watch, and, perhaps, Hendricks... ...If he can find his way back in time.

Midian, Tennessee is under siege. Demons prowl the streets and the underworld is rising, bent on consuming every living thing in the town. The only thing that keeps them back is the Watch; a group of citizens that are dedicated to holding the line against the darkness. They've faced every kind of physical threat imaginable and come out victorious. But when a new demon blows into town with the power to possess, the Watch finds itself facing something they've never dealt with before...one that will test them all to their very limits...and one which not all of them will survive...

A thousand light years from Earth, with no way home and no way to call for help, the colonists’ only hope for survival was the one barely habitable planet in range, a nightmare world they named Croatoan.

Nope
No more virtual voice. Just hire an actual person to read the book. I can’t count the number of times I had to rewind and listen to parts again to figure out when a scene had changed, or to figure out what character was speaking, etc, etc.

great book love the story but AI reading needs work
I wish the AI would pause more between character switches as I'm sure the book skips a few lines or has a visual separation of thoughts. But, the book was great and I'm definitely going to listen to the whole series.

computer natation fail
The first chapter of this book is an introduction to 3 different characters. While I enjoyed the book itself, computer narration just ran all the paragraphs together so you couldn't tell you had switched to a different character. It just made things very confusing. There was also no fluctuation in accent when the book specified heavy accents, and the colorful colloquialisms used didn't sound right with the flat narration. The narration lacked the emotional fluctuation that draws a person into the story.

An entertaining story with some unexpected humor
I enjoyed the story. The AI would have been better if it understood pausing between scene changes. Without a pause you are suddenly following a different character in a different place. I've had to back up to see when it changed.
As long as they are using an AI, why not have it do different voices for each character to help us tell them apart? That is part of what makes the human read stories better.

The AI is not something that I like. First time listening to one. Probably will be the last. Difficult to follow when the author moved to different characters perspective. The delivery of “oh” is also an issue.
