About this listen

When Cassie's twin sister, Lissa, commits suicide, Cassie discovers she can travel to Hell to retrieve her sister's soul. Cassie thought she knew all about the Hell of legend, but finds Hell has evolved over the millennia into a bustling city full of the damned with looming skyscrapers, crowded streets, systemized evil, and atrocity as the status quo.

Hell is a city. It stretches, literally, without end-a labyrinth of smoke and waking nightmare. Just as endlessly, sewer grates belch flame from the sulfur fires that have raged beneath the streets for millennia. Clock towers spire in every district, by public law, but their faces have no hands; time is not measured here in seconds or hours but in atrocity and despair. In the center of this morass of stone and smoke and butchery and horror stands the 666-floor Mephisto Building, where Gargoyles prowl the wind-blown ledges and from whose highest garrets the innocent are hung from gibbets and left to rot for eons. The lone occupant of the very top floor looks down upon his dominion and smiles a smile that is brighter than 1,000 suns. Here, yes, everyone is dead yet everyone lives forever. Welcome to the Mephistopolis. Welcome to the city of Hell. Welcome.

It’s difficult to review this book because it’s so bizarre. Since I read this genre quite a bit the horrific events didn’t bother me at all. The story was enjoyable and the characters were beyond description. One annoying thing was Vea’s voice. It sounded like Marge from Family Guy. The narration was good from the perspective of the words pronounced but the voices weren’t very good. If you like this genre, try it out.

Interesting As Hell

good story

The story was enjoyable enough for me to finish, which is only the case about half the time. There was far less horror than I expected; there's more horror in most Warhammer 40K novels. Nevertheless, the concept was fairly original and engaging, though some details regarding the concept are a bit contrived or preposterous.

This Michael Bradley mook can NOT do a female voice that isn't grating, and the voice of one of the male protagonists - the reformed fallen angel - sounds like a special ed Boris Karloff. That character voice was the most annoying I've ever heard on Audible.

Engaging but not much horror, bad performance

Fantastic story, needs a new narrator as all his voices sound way too similar. R.C. Bray would slay this.

Horrible Naration

Reader gave a main character the most annoying and whiney voice ever. made the book damn near unlistenable.

Most annoying Narrator

I really liked this book, it was fun.. couple of twist and entertaining. My only gripe was the narrators voice for Via. I would literally laugh out loud when he portrayed her. He didn’t do a bad job, just a strange choice of inflection lol

Love the story, hard to really listen without laughing at the voices this guy makes. with the characters being female, a female should have read it really. but still a good story.

Love his books

Vivid version of hell

The story itself is entertaining enough even if EL severely over does stereotypes. Almost disgustingly so. And the narrator doesn’t help that by adding over the top voices to the characters it’s almost hard to listen to his voice sometimes. Cassie the main character is a bit of a ditz and it’s annoying some of the obvious things that need to be explained.

However I think the story itself is good, with a few twists I was pleasantly surprised by. It leaves off with a pretty good cliffhanger for the next book and I look forward to listening to that one as well. I just hope it’s read by someone else.

Interesting

This reminded me a little of The Scarlet Gospels, but I enjoyed it much more. The performance was a little shaky; some lousy voices, blips in room tone, etc., but the story made up for it. Really good!

Better than Clive Barker
