This is book 8 in the series. Events build off previous books, so it’s best to listen to these all in order. This review may contain spoilers to earlier books.

The whole team is back together again trying to find Orobas and they've traveled to Atlanta. What better way for a villain to stage a major event of chaos than at a gathering of tens of thousands of people. The clock is ticking and it's not just one threat. I love how all these characters work together to not only stop Orabas but all the various creatures who have literally surfaced to fight. While Harker and Flynn are great - Gabby really shines (can she be considered shiny?) here. She's like the spunky, opinionated, and scary little sister of the team.

While the immediate threat is vanquished, as always there's more for Harker and his ever growing band of misfits to fight.

Narration:
James Anderson Foster continues to be perfect for this series. As Hartness continues to add more and more main characters as well as adversaries - it's a showcase of Foster's immense talent. Voices, emotions, and the ever present snark are awesome.

I am addicted to Quincy Harker, Demon Hunter novellas. I am addicted to the books and audiobooks. I look forward to the latest release with as much anticipation as I previously looked forward to the Cadbury Easter chocolates. Each book continues to build on the previous in a way that very, very few series are ever able to do. The fact that this is Book 8 in the series and I am still deeply invested in the characters speaks volumes about the author's talent.

Quincy has meet up with his group in Atlanta where they believe the next Demonic Super Event will occur. It is up to Quincy and his groups to stop them. If you are not familiar with the Quincy Harker series, get yourself started as quickly as possible. They are well worth it. Quincy's fiancee Rebecca is joined by Gabby Van Helsing, Dr. Watson, Jo Henry and Adam. Adam does not care to use his father's last name. It has the potential to cause villages to form mobs armed with pitchforks and flaming torches. Quincy's Uncle Luke is also helping. If you are not familiar with Quincy's Uncle Luke, you should know that his name at birth was Vlad Tepes. Imagine the Georgia Dome, the Atlanta Falcon's NFL team in a playoff game and Uncle Luke walking around in a Matty Ice jersey and Falcon's baseball cap. Not your parent's Dracula? No, Uncle Luke is even better.

As with the previous books, the humor is delightful. The humor never overshadows the mystery or terror that comes from Hell. It is an incredible balancing act to find the right combination and timing for the humor, mystery and terror. From Book 1 to Book 8 the quality of writing has remained very, very high. My interest has not flagged at all. In fact I am eagerly awaiting the next book.
