About this listen
Alexandra Yorke is one of a few trusted clairvoyants working with police on murder cases, but she has a secret. She isn't a clairvoyant, she's a witch unlike any other she has ever met. For years she has struggled to control her gifts, but years living inside one serial killer's head after another has taken its toll, and Alex has reached the end of the road.
Barely able to control her gifts any longer, Alex retreats from the world to live at her grandparents farm where she grew up. Seclusion is her answer, but the world will not leave her alone.
A few months of peace is all she has before a friend calls her in need of help and Alex can't say no. A body has been found, and evidence points to a connection with witches. Who is it that everyone just knows is a witch? Why, that strange woman who just moved back from the big city of course.
What a coincidence!

Northern Ireland, spring 1981. Hunger strikes, riots, power cuts, a homophobic serial killer with a penchant for opera, and a young woman’s suicide that may yet turn out to be murder: on the surface, the events are unconnected, but then things—and people—aren’t always what they seem. Detective Sergeant Duffy is the man tasked with trying to get to the bottom of it all. It’s no easy job—especially when it turns out that one of the victims was involved in the IRA but was last seen discussing business with someone from the loyalist Ulster Volunteer Force.

A twenty-one-year-old named Jack has dropped out of college, leaving his old life behind to build a new one in New York City. Manhattan's rough edges are jagged enough to shred any unwary newcomer, but perhaps not one who is determined to stay off the grid, at any cost, in the busiest metropolis on earth. And to do so, he'll have to take jobs of a less than legal nature.

Elena Michaels is the world’s only female werewolf. And she’s tired of it. Tired of a life spent hiding and protecting, a life where her most important job is hunting down rogue werewolves. Tired of a world that not only accepts the worst in her–her temper, her violence—but requires it. Worst of all, she realizes she’s growing content with that life, with being that person.

Great start to a new urban fantasy series
This is a great beginning to an Urban Fantasy series! Alex is a witch and clairvoyant who helps the police with some of their cases. She can see memories when she touches the victim's body, which helps the police tremendously in their investigation. Even if some of them don't believe her. She can hear people's thoughts and see visions when people touch her, so she lives alone in the forest so she can have some peace. Her world gets completely turned around when a couple of guys from another world enter into hers. This was a great start to the series and I'm looking forward to book 2.
I thought that Mikael did a fabulous job with the narration. All of the characters had their own voice and accent, which made it very easy to know who was talking at all times. He also did a great job with the female characters!

What made the experience of listening to Rune Gate the most enjoyable?
I'd have to give a lot of credit to the narration. He did a fantastic job helping bring the story to life. I'm definitely going to be looking into more of his work.
What other book might you compare Rune Gate to and why?
To be honest, I dislike comparing books. I think it's better that they stand out on their own. You can blame my parents for this, because I have four sisters and we are (TO THIS DAY) still compared to each other.
Which character – as performed by Mikael Naramore – was your favorite?
Oh gawd... why would you ask me this? I'm going to be biased here and go with Douglas, but only because I have a weakness for Scottish accents. I blame my father for dragging me to rugby games when I was young.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes. If I wasn't around young children most of the day, I'd have finished it in one sitting. Alas, I was... and there are some profanity that some people don't find acceptable for young children. I should really invest in headphones.
Any additional comments?
I was given a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

Surprises at every turn!
What made the experience of listening to Rune Gate the most enjoyable?
The narrator can change his voice to so many characters. That was a huge surprise.
What did you like best about this story?
When Douglas was introduced. I just feel in love with his character. I wanted to shake Alex and say..... Just how often does Mr. Right just fall into your lap> Duh! :)
What does Mikael Naramore bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I would have never picture the different characters the way I did. It totally made the story line perfect! Like icing! :)
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
The book is over 7 hours. So I'd say yes and no. Yes I was that into it but no I couldn't have listened for 7 straight hours.
Any additional comments?
I was so engrossed into the audio book. That I kept making that shhhhhhhhhhhh! noise to everyone that wanted to talk to me. LOL
It starts out with Alex (a witch) who is called in the middle of the night to help with a crime scene. With her psychic ability she can see the crime though the victims point of view. No matter how hard it is on her, she is determined to help as much as she can to catch the killer. Alex is sure she has seen this horrific crime before. Sheriff Thomas Edwards cares for Alex so he continues to try to keep her out but her determination continues. He is more than aware that she has the ability to read others thoughts and is very sensitive to touch. So he tries his best to keep her out of the investigation. In an attempt to protect her.
Thanks to fate she meets Douglas. Douglas is from another time and world. Douglas is trapped in our world without help from Alex. He helps her understand her psychic talent a little better. He also agrees to help her with the murder mystery. He believes that he knows the killer and is more than willing to help catch one of his enemies. Douglas is hoping that by helping Alex he will be also helping himself to return to his world.
This is the 3rd audio book I have listened to by Mikael Naramore. I was so impressed with all the different voices he had to use for the "Rune Gate" book 1. From the Sheriff sounding a little country, Douglas came across as a huge burly handsome Irish man. I could really picture the character as the narrator tells us the story.
The author has a talent for keeping us more and more interested in the story line. Until we don't want the book to end and are thankful there is a book 2 (Chosen). LOL I would only be surprised if this was never made into a TV mini series or movie. :)

This story is just as awesome as his other narrations I've heard! He has a wonderfully entertaining voice and way of drawing you into the story!
Any additional comments?
I loved this book. I have read a few Mark Cooper books before and can't wait for more! I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the paranormal and witches!

Contains triggers
I feel that I can assess the audio performer's work fairly, and it was quite well done, with excellent delineation of characters' voices. Unfortunately, I can only give presumptives on the story as I had to skip through because of the triggers(it's a PTSD thing). There are audiences who will be thrilled with the detailing, and the story line did seem sound. Loved the characterization of Alex and her dealing with her gift.

A cool mix of murder mystery and urban fantasy
I got this book as part of a promotion by the author, who provided the Audible credit in return for an honest review, so here goes. I really enjoyed this book. It is a good mix of a crime drama and urban fantasy. The book starts off with a murder, and the main character, a witch named Alex York, being called in to consult. Her witch powers seem more psychic in nature than magic, being of the mind reading and seeing the dead kind of thing, and thats what Alex thinks too. She is so sensitive to being around others that she cant stand being touched, since it brings on mind reading she can't control. The murders she is called in to consult on are ritualistic in nature, very gruesome. The killer is a blank to ger senses though. As the story persists, and as bodies keep popping up, Alex is at a loss as to who the culprit is. As she is driving down the road one night, thinking about the case, she is distracted and accidentally hits a man that mysteriously appeared in the road. She takes him to the doctor, who treats his broken leg. The mans name is Dug, and he, it turns out, is from an alternate dimension, where magic is real, and he is a Duke on the search for an evil wizard. Their cases cross path, and it turns out they are looking for the same person. The action picks up from there, racing to a a climactic confrontation, which ends in a cliffhanger, but which makes sense in context to the story. An excellent read, for fans of either genre. The love quadrangle in the story between Alex, the Sheriff, who dated her in the past, Dug, and a friend from Alex's past does get a little complicated, but it does start to sort itself out toward the end of the book. Fans of Kim Harrison or Jim Butcher should like this story.

Masterful Story, well written and highly enjoyable
What made the experience of listening to Rune Gate the most enjoyable?
I enjoyed the story line and the fact that Mr. Cooper surprised me at every corner. That has become hard for authors to do.
What other book might you compare Rune Gate to and why?
I found this book to be entirely in it's own category. It was refreshing and original with plenty of suspense. The addition of the paranormal elements made it extremely enjoyable.
Have you listened to any of Mikael Naramore’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I have not listened to any of Mr. Naramore's previous work.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Even murder is never what it seems.
Any additional comments?
I loved listening to this book. The writing was masterful and the story was so enjoyable. Can't wait to listen to the next one in the series!

EXCELLENT WRITING AND NARRATION
This is the first book I have read of Mark E Cooper and I enjoyed it very much. I especially liked the performance by Mikael Narramore. He narrated beautifully and made the story very interesting indeed. I will definitely be following the series.

one of my favorite books
What made the experience of listening to Rune Gate the most enjoyable?
Rune Gate (Rune Gate Cycle #1) by Mark E. Cooper is a book about witches, magic, powers, other worlds, and more. This book literally had me captivated right away and I stayed up at night until it was finished. I had the audio version so that takes longer than how fast I can read but I started out I was just going to listen to a bit before I went to sleep but I couldn't stop. I had to hear more and then more! It had a murder mystery, (serial killer), an unknown man from an unknown land, Alex's powers, strange runes, action, adventure, intrigue, and suspense. Great book!
