About this listen

The hunt for a serial killer leads a vampire agent to uncover a terrifying conspiracy in this dark urban fantasy by the author of the Hellequin Chronicles.

Vampires and humans live side by side thanks to an uneasy peace maintained by the Assembly. As an Arbiter for the powerful organization, Miles Watson is authorized to act as judge, jury, and executioner for anyone—living or undead—who breaks the law. But now Miles is up against a threat more sinister than anything he's seen in his centuries as a vampire.

A criminal network in London is offering wealthy humans the chance to become vampires without the Assembly's consent. When the process goes disastrously wrong, the Boss wants to eliminate any trace of the fiasco. But a rogue enforcer refuses to play along, and trouble quickly escalates out of anyone's control.

As Miles sets off searching for the illegal vampires, he finds himself on the trail of a monstrous serial killer. The twisty investigation takes him from London's deadly underworld to the rural backwaters of the Pacific Northwest—where an even more devious criminal enterprise threatens all of vampire-kind . . .

Known for his terrifying tales of urban fantasy, author Steve McHugh goes even deeper into the shadows with this noirish vampire thriller, which masterfully combines suspenseful plotting and intricate world-building.

So once again Steve didn't disappoint I love the character of this world, just liked all the other Steve McHugh worlds. I would love to learn more of where Church and Miles come from so I hope there are more books.

This was a nice change from most vampire stories. I liked the main protagonist. I liked the action sequences. I will be buying others in this series with the world building done so we’ll.

Very enjoyable

I really enjoyed the plot, the characters and the narration. Went at a good pace and tied everything together well.

Great story line

I just pushed through because the narrator was distracting. I liked his voice but I don’t think this was the right book and cast of characters for his range

I’m pretty sure it was the narrator

I liked the concept of the book. I likes the overall character and tone of the narrators voice. in general, I had a hard time following the many characters. I didn't care for the affectation or the stilted cadence of the narration. If felt like it was applied to all the characters. Sort of like how NYPD blue tv series characters in the 90s talked. There may have been action, but the narration just made this feel like one monotonous experience. I loved the bond between Church and the main character, however, once I finish trudging through , I won't be revisiting this series.

Stilted narration

I love supernatural sub-cultures especially when they are presented alongside humans! I'm always a fan of the wealth of social commentary that flows from this union. Having said that, this is also a really fun romp through the eyes of an heroic vampire working to solve a mystery the consequences of which could set their world on fire. So fun.

Fast paced blood-thirsty fun.

Excellent character and world building. I appreciate the connection between Myles and Church. The depth of the characters and the balance of what one considers right and wrong add to the richness of the story.

Phenomenal Story
