An original approach that brings together an angle, vampires, werewolves, and a witch to fight a misguided sentient AI. The AI throughout the story attempts to kill the leadership of the Demidova Corp, and destroy the corporation. Declan, the strongest male witch around, arrives at Demidova as a summer intern, but quickly begins using his powers to help his employers and coworkers survive. A strong bond begins to grow between Declan and a beautiful female werewolf. Declan, as one of the main characters, takes small side trips off the main story line. As this is the first book of the series that I have listened to, I am looking forward to going back to the beginning.
I loved traveling back to the world where Declan O’Carroll and Chris Gordon live. The story is told from a dual point of view – Chris’ and Declan‘s. This is the 9th book in the urban fantasy Demon Accord series. I love that Chris’ and Declan’s characters, despite each having unique overwhelming powers, are still sweet, a bit naive, modest, and awkward men which makes them very likeable heroes. Declan is a very powerful male witch which is an anomaly. Usually only females have power. Male witches may have a tiny amount of power. Chris is a Angel who has taken human form to fight demons. Chris’ Chosen (girlfriend) is also an Angel and the most powerful vampire on earth. In this book, during his break from college, Declan is working as an intern in the Demidova Corporation which is owned by Chris and Tanya. As the story progresses, the team continues to fight evil including the newest evil, an AI that has gone rogue. Most of the characters from the other books are in this book as well. There are also a number of new characters who are introduced. The story includes what you’d expect from this genre – fighting, dangerous situations, paranormal creatures, evil masterminds, henchmen, loyal friends and family, tragic back stories, mystical coincidences, snark, and laughs. I will definitely keep reading the series to see what evil beings and plans are thwarted by Chris, Declan and the rest of the crew.
Almost every college kid needs to get a summer job. The lucky ones get internships with big companies that could advance their careers after graduation. Declan has an internship with the trendiest, most controversial “it” company to grace the New York Stock Exchange. Normally, I would envy Declan’s opportunities, but the things that Chris and Tanya have him doing – yikes! This is nothing like an internship with Proctor and Gamble. Have you ever read the comic series “Damage Control” about the company who insures damage caused by superheroes? That is what Declan’s internship is like – without the laugh track.
God Hammer
By: John Conroe
Narrated by: James Patrick Cronin
God Hammer is the name they call Chris, the main character, because he is so bad ass! He is part angel and ?, or all angel? He has power to spare, he brought an asteroid down on a building once so everyone is a bit terrified of him. This is Declans first full time job with Chris and vamp wife. He is making a quantum computer…where it goes from there…you just have to find out here!
Love the action, fantasy, the imagination, and craziness that ensues!
The narration is spot on! Perfection!
