Who knew a man with a gift from God would discover vampires, were weasels (yes, that’s right shifting weasels!), and all sorts of paranormal creatures. This entire series had me staying up late reading until my wife called me out on it. Oops! Highly recommend this, but be warned, it will get between you and your significant other.
Moves right along, never a dull moment
This is the first book in the Demon Accord series, an urban fantasy novel. Christian/Chris is a self-proclaimed demon fighter. Due to the unique abilities he was born with, he all can see demons, remove them from their host or location, and banish them back to hell. Since the murder of his parents and brother, he has lived a solitary life to avoid the demons targeting anyone he was close to. He is also a police officer in NYC. Chris always has visions of the event just before a demon fight occurs. While at a night club with coworkers, he has a vision, banishes the demon, and saves Tatiana/Tanya, a vampire princess. In the course of the attack Tanya is wounded with silver spikes. After Chris removes the spikes, Tanya feeds on him and places a small amount of her blood in his mouth. Thus begins changes to Chris’ supernatural abilities, his romantic relationship with Tanya, and his inclusion in the secret supernatural department within the NYPD. The book 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 love that Chris’ character despite his unique overwhelming powers is still sweet, a bit naive, and modest which makes him a likeable hero. I will definitely keep reading the series.
Demon Slayer meets vampires and werewolves and demigods and government conspirators and …. Chris Gordon has already had a difficult and challenging life – that is why he is a demon slayer. It is quite a shock to him to find the most beautiful girl he has ever seen as the victim of a demon in the course of one of his hunts. Of course he rescues her – that is what he does. Then she rescues him – from her bodyguards. Finding out that the girl he is attracted to is a vampire – shock. That she likes him, REALLY likes him – what a way to begin this novel! With this introduction, I had to keep reading! I really empathize with the way Chris keeps having new paranormal things thrown at him in addition to finally meeting the girl of his dreams. And no, she does not sparkle, even under spotlights!
One of my all-time favorite series
I’ve been listening to this series on Audible – and I’m already on book 4! I just can’t put these books down. So action-packed that you want to keep listening long after you should stop and go to bed. If you like paranormal with lots of action and a little romance to make it interesting, try book one of this fast-paced and exciting series!
A humble hero, a vampire heroine and an unexpected “familiar”. Really enjoyed this different take on Urban Fantasy.
Great start to a new series!
Liked the book. The relationship went from 0 to 100 within a paragraph, and eternity is a mighty long time. City vs Feds agencies was a nice twist. His relationships with each friend or family member read as real and unique. Love his new pet!
God Touched
The Demon Accords, Book 1
By: John Conroe
Narrated by: James Patrick Cronin
This book got me started on a book listen/read marathon. I love this series! It has a guy that can cast out demons better than a Priest, he can see demons, and other super naturals for what they are, and he was born that way. He saves a vampire, a hot sexy vampire, and he risks his life because she could have ripped him apart when she came to but they bonded. She gave him a small bit of her blood on her finger and boom, he became even more powerful! This book is so exciting. Vamps, weres, demons, fighting that is super fast and exciting, romance super natural bonded style, and so much more! There is one very large god-like surprise in here too! WOW, I do love these books!
The narrator is so perfect for this. A Russian gal, a gruff soldier, and so much more done with ease and believable! I felt like I was there. Great performance!
God Touched is an interesting first start to a new series. Plenty of fights, action, drama, love interest, and paranormal!! The story is entertaining from start to finish and has the reader thinking about the book when unable to read. Just enough detail to paint a great picture but not too detailed that it distracts.
One of my favorite authors and series
I love this whole series! Chris Gordon is a fantastic regular guy/ action hero with a twist. Do yourself a favor, and read them all!
