Amazing Read.
I was afraid when The God Hammer series seemed to end, but, let everyone relax, another home run has been hit!! I could be more pleased and can't wait for the next one.

round 2
I loved College Arcane and the expansion to the Demon Accords-iverse. So this was a welcome surprise.
You don’t *have to* read the Demon Accords to understand everything, but it probably helps in a lot of subtle ways.
I will be buying book 2 when it becomes available.

Loved it. The first book in Conroe's new sequel series to The Demon Accords takes place 18 years later. A great group of new characters, along with a few from the previous series.

Solid continuation of a universe that I have been missing
Unlike many spinoffs of universes and worlds that we find in series, this does a really good job of combining the old elements and characters from the Demon Accords, which I loved, and integrating a new set of main characters and moving the previous set of main characters back to an elder/Supporting role while keeping the main characters of this series a focus.
That’s not to say that the original cast of characters, much like the Marvel cinematic universe, are not there working along side of our main characters Craig and Vee - just that they are not the focus of the book.
I found myself very interested in the main character and his story arc. He’s a good blend of qualities much like Chris and Declan, but he has his own personality in story and I liked that.
I also found myself weirdly and inordinately, proud of the kids of the original cast of characters? As if they were real people and I was some random Auntie that was listening to the things that they did and are doing.
At any rate, I can’t wait for the next one to come out and I think this is a really good start to another series of these people that I miss.

outstanding urban fantasy!
Thank you John for a new chapter in the Demon Accords story I love so much! How fun to learn about the children of our favorite characters, and a great new character added! John always writes an amazing book! Please give us more Demon Accords stories!
I read tons of Urban Fantasy, and one of my favorite elements is how the author decides on the interaction of modern people and technology with the supernatural. This series brings the relationship of supernaturals and modern tech to a whole new level! How deep the story goes with science, government, and real human emotions and interaction with the supernatural world. By far, John Conroe relates the most realistic approach of any author I've read! And, the plot lines are so superb, I can't put this book down! Amazingly real characters, nonstop unpredictable plot twists, emotional growth, superbly written dialogue, and a fallible MC you want to route for! In fact, the only negative of this series is how it has effected my sleep! I'm up all night reading these nonstop pager turners! Thank you John, you master word-smith!

OK, here we go -
If you’ve ever read John CONROE‘s books before, you’re gonna love this one. I would’ve thought it difficult if not impossible to keep pulling off such well crafted and engaging books one after the other and yet he’s done it again. There are few people who have found their niche in the universe as well as John Conroe, and I am forever grateful that he has fulfilled the measure of his creation as an author.
Everything in these books, from the cover, the editing, the storyline, the characterizations is all flawless and plotted in such a way that it compels you, involves you and ultimately entertains you. Go buy this book immediately.

Expansion: sequel to Demon Accords series
Outstanding new sequel series to Conroe's previous works. I highly recommend reading all of Conroe's works in order. Exceptional, imaginative, entertaining reading. I highly recommend these works to anyone with a love, or even curiosity for all things paranormal. Conroe has an admirable gift at combining them all in an intricate weaving of plots and episodes. Outstanding character development. Good reading, well edited, and highly entertaining. Conroe's works are definitely high on my keepers list.

loved it.
I’ve probably read the Demon Accords series at least 5 times by now. Truly one of my favorite series of all time, and I cut my teeth on Tolkien, Glen Cook, David Drake, Steven Brust, John Scalzi, Weber, Ringo, etc. I wasn’t sure if Conroe could hit it out of the park as well as he did with the DA series but he absolutely did with this. Excellent read, and my only wish is that he wrote books as thick as Clancy used to because I blew through this in 2 days. Outstanding beginning to a new world for us DA fans sir!

Next great
I read God Touched over 13 years ago. I have reread the series more than,A few,times and own each book, this one KU but purchased next week. This is a great start to the next generation. Craig is going to fit right in. Was a little disappointed
Pointed in Cora, but when raised a Princess, sometimes it can be hard to not be self absorbed. Write fast John. Oh and a return to the drone wars would be ok too.

fantastic
I keep forgetting how good these books are. I read a lot and some days when I can only find a decent book I notice that I skip a lot. Descriptions of places, random information that’s not really needed. With all of John Conroe’s books I don’t skip. I read every part of the book. They are always well written, nice to read and have great world building. (English is my 2nd language)

fantastic work
I love the new stories of the Demon Accord. Can’t wait to see what Vesta and Craig get up to in the future. And where has his mother been or is it not true? I hope I don’t have to wait to long to read the next book. I read this one too fast.
I have enjoyed all of John Conroe’s books of Demon Accord and his other writings looking forward to reading more of his stories.
Thanks for your imagination

Launch into the Next Generation
This is a thrilling launch into the next era of John Conroe’s universe. It offers sharp pacing, rich characters, and high-stakes supernatural intrigue while expanding the world in fresh, exciting ways. Conroe masterfully blends action, heart, and humor, making this follow-on series feel both familiar and invigorating.
A superb start that promises even greater adventures ahead. Highly recommended for longtime fans and new readers alike.

Sorely Missed
You ever had that one artist who goes on a spiritual journey, gives up the deity level guitar artistry just to raise llamas and magic mushrooms? Then that artist breaks up with their hippie parasitic life partner, practices like a madman and the comes back with a vengeance. And, if you are truly blessed, you’re there, front row, at the first comeback concert.
That’s this book. Thank you, Mr. Conroe.

A proper start to a new series
I loved the Demon Accords and was sad when they finished. But now we get to see the next generation of alien/demon ass kickers and I can’t wait to read more about them!
I like that not all of them are on the same side and that, like some of the humans in the DA, some have allied themselves with the Adversaries of humanity, Omega, and Mother Earth.
Please write quickly, Mr. Conroe. We’re all waiting!

Wow just wow
I loved everything about this book. The new generation is full of heavy hitters. I am not fond of one of the children but I assume they will grow in time. It is nice to see the old guard and thought they would be the major draw, but surprisingly I am invested in Craig, Vee, Hannah, and the rest of Craig's adopted family. I can't wait for the next book.

Great contiunation series!
Excited to be back in the DA world. Intros some fun new characters and concepts. Same hard hitting action and fight scenes as well as bold take no prisoners characters who don't back down. Hope we get to see more Cora and Wulf in the next book. Felt they got sidelined like they used to in the old books, but excited to see where this new series leads!

Great Start to DA Next Generation!
The joy is back!! It is so refreshing to see the snark and fun return in this new series. I loved the Demon Accords but the last few books since Blood Cull felt really heavy and dark. Bloodlines felt like a disappointing afterthought. It is so good see that the magic is back pun intended. Can’t wait for the next book :)

Another great story from John Conroe. I was sad when The Demon Accords Series ended as I had enjoyed all of them and even purchasing many of the books. Now with the Expansion series I am thrilled with the new story line that still keeps familiar characters from the The Demon Accords. This is a very good book.

So good. Just as good as original series. Can't wait for the next book. Love that we get to see many of the characters from original series. Getting to know their children as adults and and all new bad guys is outstanding. As always the writing and story is superb, sucks you write into the story. Really Love It!

Conroe consistently amazes me
I cannot emphasize how good his books have turned out to be and how fleshed out his characters are. I am so invested in his demon Accord series that I impatiently wait for the next novel. I didn't think it possible but he has managed to create a new hero in the same universe and I am just as invested.

Excellent
As usual, excellent writing skills resulting in an outstanding first book of, I hope, a long new series placed in the universe of "The Demon Accords". A magical Earth continues the fight against an alien invader; new supernatural characters continue battling magical and technological foes.

Wow! Next generation but still great writing
So begins the next generation but just as exciting and interesting reading time as series before. Pleased to see new characters and further adventures of old characters have learned so well over the years. Looking forward to more books. Much appreciated.

Better than expected
Went into this with low expectations (not a great history with follow up series) But I have to say this held my attention from beginning to end. Great story telling and world building. The characters are entertaining and believable. Highly recommended.

I absolutely loved the Demon Accords series and this new spin off is perfect. It brilliantly builds off the original series whilst bringing in new characters and talents. I adore this Universe that John Conroe has created and I can't wait for more so thank you 🙂

DEMON ACCORDS
I only found out that Demon Accords was ending so soon and was totally bummed out, since this is my favorite series since Harry Turtledove World War series with all its tie-ins ended.
As soon as I saw this, I was HAPPY again !!!

first rate second series starter
Great intro to the new Generation series. One question - Can John Conroe write a character who lacks snark? So glad he continues the snark tradition.

Love the new characters and continuation of the Demon Accords.
I don't appreciate some of the foul language that has become so common and does not enhance or contribute to the story.

Craig and Vesta - A new generation
Another great addition to the Demon Accords World. This story takes place approximately 20 years after the previous series. Not only do we get great new characters, but get to meet all our favorites as well. Can not wait for the next book.
