Max finds himself with a change of view and away from his motley crew after the events of Max Abaddon and the Last Bite. He’s in the Under where he meets a demon raccoon and finds out why his great-grandfather Devin, better known as the devil, has gone missing.
The balance of the Under is at stake and the consequence could be deadly for those back home. With the help of some new and old acquaintances, Max must decide whether to take up his power and join the battle. The author delivered a blend of snark, mythology, awesome battles and a little magic. I can tell you that the tale that unfolds once again held me captive.
The story is well paced and while I missed the gang; I was excited when some could join Max in the Under, thanks to an interesting bit of magic. Max is constantly being tested, but his compass always rings true. I gasped aloud when we learned what befell him. In this novel, Max will be tested, as will his friends, and with so much at stake, I couldn’t help but devour the story.
I love how Leslie weaves in myths, the characters’ dealings with the council, and delivers a unique fantasy series that can have me laughing out loud one moment and weeping for a character the next minute. The battle scenes and escape scenes were epic.
Fans of Dresden, will like Max Abaddon. He’s an average guy who came into power on his thirtieth birthday and is learning as he goes. Will he embrace his dark side? Will he survive to see his (not) girlfriend again? You’ll need to listen to find out.
Luke Daniels narrates bringing a full cast of voices for these characters that will make you grin. His narration adds another element to the tale and only enhances my enjoyment of the series.
While we are still in search of answers, the author revealed some truths and set us up for more to come. I for one, cannot wait for the next audiobook in this addictive fantasy series.

To busy
To many characters and situations going on. There didn't seem to be a similar plot. The first few books in this series were so good. I feel the author was trying to hard to make it interesting but it was to busy and confusing.

I was on life support for a year waiting for this book and it did not disappoint! It gave me the reunion I didn’t know I wanted or needed along with making new friends and a couple things were brought to light. Again I love this series, as a central FL native I love reading how Florida really is a hell mouth or gate… not sure which one! I hope this isn’t the end of Max adventures!
