About this listen

"Next of Kin" by Astrid Amara: Jay Yervant is a Hell Cop so powerful that his bare skin incinerates anyone he contacts. Isolated, he is tortured by desire, until he meets Brian, a sensual young man who touches him with impunity. But Jay's burgeoning hope is threatened when a malevolent sorcerer unleashes a host of demonic assassins against Brian. Keeping his lover may cost Jay his life.

"Red Sands" by Nicole Kimberling: Anthropologist Michael Gold's got problems. His apartment's been ransacked, his dad's missing, and he's been framed for murder. As a half-demon he expects trouble from the city's Hell Cops. Instead, he gets Argent, a man with intimate knowledge of Michael and whom Michael can't penetrate with his psychic powers. So does Argent want to clear him or expose him?

"Touching Sparks" by Ginn Hale: When photojournalist James Sparks discovers an underworld of sorcery, blood sports, and demonic drug traffic, he turns to Detective Ben Moran, a hard-bodied Hell Cop whose touch sends James's pulse racing. But when James uncovers evidence of police corruption he realizes that Moran may be in as much danger as he is.

Contains mature themes.

Three Good Stories in One.

First Story, Next of Kin:

A thoroughly enjoyable tale! The unique concept of not being able to touch without causing harm was skillfully crafted and added a fascinating layer to the story. The main characters were incredibly likable, and the way they were developed throughout the story really stood out, thanks to the engaging narration. The character dynamics felt genuine and kept me invested from start to finish. Overall, it was a well-done and thoughtful exploration of connection and boundaries, with both the writing and the narration shining through.

Second Story, Red Sands:

This story was an absolute delight and a refreshing change of pace from the first! The narrator's voice was smooth and captivating—truly enjoyable to listen to. Even though the story was shorter and there wasn’t much time for extensive character development, it was still remarkably well done. Somehow, the characters were fully fleshed out in such a short time, and I found myself completely invested in both them and the plot. It’s a testament to both the writing and the narration that this story had such an impact. Definitely a memorable and engaging addition!

Third Story, Touching Sparks:

While this story was my least favorite of the three, it still had its strengths and was a solid addition to the collection. The main characters were engaging and easy to root for, and the narration added a nice touch, keeping the experience enjoyable throughout. Overall, the book as a whole was an entertaining listen, and this story contributed to the well-rounded mix of themes and tones. Definitely worth giving a try, especially for those who enjoy stories that balance likable characters and heartfelt moments.

Interesting Stories

It's probably not fair of me to review this one since this is far from my favorite genre... I did enjoy the last story though. And the audio performed by Tristan James, John Solo, and Kirt Graves were all well done.

Good multi stories

I enjoyed the he'll cop stories . I liked that they weren't overly long , and provided time for me to listen between activities. I confess the last two were my favorites , but all three were worth hearing . It also provides me, as a reader a chance to hear new authors takes. recommend over all.

Hell Cop- a mixed bag of good and terrible

"Hell Cop" is a 12 year old book, which has been given life in 2020 as an audiobook. (Who knows why it took so long to make it into audio format.)
I read it some years ago, enjoyed it quite a bit, and was glad to revisit it in audio. It's comprised of three stories, written by three different authors, set in the same 'verse.The setup is cool, and there's some really nice world building that goes on in all three of the stories. They interlock to some extent in that main characters in one story show up as minor or supporting characters in the others. This format is a really interesting one, and was revisited a few years later by these three authors in "Hell Cop 2".
1. Next of Kin- Narrator was so dreadful, monotonous, completely lacking in inflection or vocal characterization, for this first selection, that I had to DNF. As I recall, the story is good and well-written, but I just couldn't wade through the terrible reading.
2. Red Sands- much better. Not only a cool story with a great ending plot twist, but excellent, expressive narration.
3. Touching Sparks- an enjoyable, quite short story; narration, meh.
All in all, not awful enough to want to return, but rather disappointing. Given the creative premise, "Hell Cop" could have been a 5-star offering, but the narration just didn't shine as it could have with this material. I hesitate to recommend; you might dig "Hell Cop" more if you read it the old-fashioned way.

Fun stories

Very enjoyable story grouping. All of the authors are entertaining and it’s a great romp through the demon world.

I hope there's more to come

I didn't know that this would be an anthology, but I liked it all the same. I hope there will be more books written in the universe.

the trifecta of an amazing listen!

maybe the best buy this year!! and that includes louisa masters' the whole CSG quartet for only 7 something dollars!
there are 3 wonderful stories, all taking place in the same city, around the same institutions and the same society, with the same mentality.
they are each written by a different author, none of which I ever heard about before; and narrated by 3 of the best in the field: tristan james, john solo and kirt graves.
they each tell a different couple's story, and yet they are cohesive, well matched and original, all in one. it's amazing how they seem to be written by the same author, and also be different enough to be interesting, and not give the impression of "same annette, different hair-do".
totally surprizing for this type of thing (an anthology) the stories are all in the same league, written with the same amount of talent and creativity, and narrated with the same high level of professionalism. usually there is a dud story and (another) dud narrator, but in this trio, you'd be hard pressed to find a favorite.
and the idea of having each story narrated by a different voice, only makes the whole thing more enjoyable - since the "background" and characters sound familiar, the different voices make each story original enough.
absolutely perfect!
