Acerca de esta escucha
Dallas Police Detective Mark Valdez isn't just any cop, he's a psychic who knows that the cattle mutilations and torture murders he's been investigating are somehow tied together. He also knows that his meager psychic abilities aren't enough to identify the killers, much less stop them.
Luckily, Mark has an ace up his sleeve: an attractive young romance novelist who happens to be a practicing witch. And not just any witch, either - Diana Tregarde is a Guardian, charged with protecting the Earth and all its creatures.
Using modern science and ancient magics, Diana and Mark discover that they are tailing no ordinary serial killer but the awakened avatar of an Aztec god. Tezcatlipoca and his four beautiful handmaidens are preparing for a great sacrifice that will transform North America into a new Aztec realm.
Diana isn't sure her powers are strong enough to take on those of a risen Aztec god, but she has no choice. As a Guardian, she is sworn to protect mankind, even at the cost of her own life. Luckily, she does not stand alone. Mark Valdez is more than just a cop. And Tezcatlipoca is not the only Aztec god walking in the world.

Historia
Jennifer Talldeer is Osage and Cherokee, granddaughter of a powerful Medicine Man. She walks a difficult path: contrary to tribal custom, she is learning a warrior's magics. A freelance private investigator, Jennifer tracks down stolen Native American artifacts. The construction of a new shopping mall uncovers fragments of human bone, revealing possible desecration of an ancient burial ground. Meanwhile, the sabotage of construction equipment at the site implicates many activists—particularly Jennifer's old flame, who is more attractive and dangerous than ever.

It is an age when Valdemar is yet unfounded, its organization of Heralds yet unformed, and magic is still a wild and uncontrolled force. Skandranon Rashkae is perhaps the finest specimen of his race, with gleaming ebony feathers, a majestic wingspan, keen magesight, and sharp intelligence. Courageous, bold, and crafty, Skan is everything a gryphon should be. He is the fulfillment of everything that the Mage of Silence, the human sorcerer called Urtho, intended to achieve when he created these magical beings to be his champions, the defenders of his realm.

First published in 1989 and taking place in downtown Toronto, one of the earliest of the modern urban fantasies, Gate of Darkness, Circle of Light is the story of a fight against encroaching darkness by a developmentally handicapped young woman, a street musician with no idea of his potential, a bag-lady who's tired of picking up the pieces, and an adept of the light. Mixing actual Toronto ghost-stories with traditional Faire, a police procedural, and a cat, Gate of Darkness, Circle of Light opened a gate at street level to the urban fantasy that followed.

Still, Stone figures it's an easy job: just turn up, put on a little show, and announce that the house is clean. Only it isn't. A malevolent spirit is reawakening in the basement.

My name is Ethan Drake, and I’m a police detective. And I got plenty darkness to give. So does my partner, who’s a demon, and frankly, a royal pain in my ass. But occult investigators are in short supply in the PD, so what are you going to do? Anyway, we just caught a bodysnatching case that has the stench of occult workings all over it.

Okay, so jogging through Central Park after midnight wasn't a bright idea. But Margrit Knight never thought she'd encounter a dark new world filled with magical beings, not to mention a dying woman and a mysterious stranger with blood on his hands. Her logical, lawyer instincts told her it couldn't all be real, but she could hardly deny what she'd seen...and touched.

Courageous, bold, and crafty, Skan is everything a gryphon should be. He is the fulfillment of everything that the Mage of Silence, the human sorcerer called Urtho, intended to achieve when he created these magical beings to be his champions, the defenders of his realm.

It is the year 1537. The great winged lion stares over a Venice where magic thrives. The rich Venetian Republic is a bastion of independence and tolerance. Perhaps for that reason, it is also corrupt, and rotten with intrigue. But for the young brothers, Marco and Benito Valdosta, vagabond and thief, Venice is simply home. They have no idea that they stand at the center of the city's coming struggle for its very life. They know nothing of the powerful forces moving in the background. They have barely heard of Chernobog, demon lord of the north, who is shifting his pawns to attack.

One of the Better Fantasy Novels I've Found Lately
The story was fairly well constructed, better than the other series' I've tecently tried out. I finished this one, and I'll get the second book. There were some overly convenient plot twists, and some turns in conversation that stumbled rather than flowed. There was the usual lack of understanding about multiple organized religions that you tend to see in a humanist work. I'd be more willing to let it go as the character's perspective except that the one speaking was supposed to be an expert. Instead, it comes off as a lack of research.
It was a bit surreal to read a book set in the '80's, since it seems like it should be relatively close in time to now (I was a small child when this was originally published), but the world of the book is so different from 2019. It was interesting, in it's own way, to realize how much the US has changed in a few decades.
Regarding the narration, for the first couple sentences, I honestly thought it was a computer reading. The narrator did pick up some emotive qualities as it went on, but she's by no means Tantor's best reader. The battle scenes and climax were particularly noticeable in their lack of emotion. I recommend the reader listen to someone like James Marsters and take a few more acting lessons. And work on her enunciation. When she did male voices such as the Chief, she tended to mumble, and I had to keep going back and replaying to figure out what she was saying.
Despite my technical issues with the audiobook, I will definitely be buying Book 2 as soon as I finish this review. It's been a while since I found a new urban fantasy story that actually kept me wondering what's going to happen next (as opposed to being able to surmise the whole book from the first couple chapters). On to Book 2 and another adventure!

I would probably be better if it was updated.
I bought this because I remember loving it when I was a teenager, about 40 years ago. While I understand that books are a product of the time and culture in which they were written, some of the language and stereotypes used in this book made me pretty uncomfortable. They were things that could easily be changed without changing the story and may make it more palatable for a modern audience.

I have read/heard quite a bit of Mercedes Lackey's works and had grown a bit tired of the fancy horse series. This is a breath of fresh air and a complete change. Her usual well researched descriptions and magnetic story line makes this a great beginning to a new obsession.

love this series
This series was always 20 years ahead of its time. Occult/ Paranormal mystery at best!

Interesting Urban Fantasy
3.5 stars.
The protagonist is a strong female investigator with a hinted-at deep backstory. The plot is interesting and its timing is more reasonable than that of most police novels, taking weeks to resolve rather than hours. The magical version of the world shown in the novel is coherent and deep.
And yet, with all those virtues, the story seems to lack vitality. Tregarde is rather sketched in and never really engages me, and her partner seems likewise to be a bit flat.
Not Lackey's strongest work, but decent.
NB: The use of "ack emma" for a.m. by several of the characters is an affectation. It's a British slang phrase from WWI and certainly not common in 1980s US slang. I found its use really distracting here.

Don't Bother
i am a fan of Mercedes Lackey and was very disappointed in this story. I won't be listening zo any others in this series.
The narrator didn't pause from one sentence to another or section. It caused some confusion on what and where things were happening.

Ignore the bad pronunciation and you will enjoy it
This is another book I read year ago. I had forgotten most of it and it was a great listen. the pronunciations for many words, terms and names were off...some really bad. But, if you can get over that, it is a really fun book.

As good as I remember
Read most of the author's urban fantasy years back and I am glad to see them produced as audio books so I can enjoy them again.
