A great spinoff!

What made the experience of listening to Executable the most enjoyable?

Same universe, but different characters. I like the overlap and the fresh perspective that this book gives of the world, but it still feels like the other novels.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Declan was the kind of character that I can relate to. He is a total techie.

What about James Patrick Cronin’s performance did you like?

Sometimes I had to remind myself that it is a dude who is narrating the Irish girls' accents.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I got the "Marathoner" badge on this book because every few minutes game me a question that I needed answered.

Any additional comments?

It was great the second time through as well!

interesting transition.

The author is probably moving to new protagonists having run out of interesting ways to challenge Christian and Tanya without opening the gates of hell directly. So how to continue the story without the main characters? Simple change main characters right? Well most authors will just end one protagonists arc or saga and call it good, then move on inside the same universe. Thankfully Mr. Conroe came up with a interesting method of shifting to or adding in new main characters. I don't know what they next book in the series holds as I have not yet read it..but I will. I have enjoyed this series immensely and hope the story continues for a good long while.

Each book is better than the last!

I couldn't put it down. The epic story continues and once again it doesn't disappoint.

Amazing good book

As this seri s progresses I enjoy it more and more. The world is so very detailed and parts are so familiar yet creative. Declan and Keiko are a great addition to the whole plot line

If You Skip This - You Will Regret Your Decision

Usually when an author completely changes protagonists in the middle of a series the decision is a poor choice. Not so with this book. It's a nice change of pace.

This book explores the lives of the 2 kids that were locked in those cells at the end of book 5. There's a bit of crossover in the middle of the book when Chris comes to save his goddaughter.

The writing and story are solid as always. In fact, I'd say this book is on par with the first couple of books of the series.

DO NOT SKIP THIS BOOK BASED UPON OTHER REVIEWS

I enjoyed this story, but...

I prefer a straight story, so this segue into a different story was not appreciated, at the time. However, as I got into the story, I enjoyed it, especially the ending.

Not sure why the author decided to go this way, maybe he lost some ideas. One thing I didn't care for was the author starting to place more emphasis on sex. Adds nothing to the story.

The narrator wasn't as good changing his voice between Chris and Declan!

Hate the start, love the rest!

I'm not a fan of cold & snarky characters, so when this book starts out with one I was disappointed. In fact, if this wasn't part of the Demon Accords series I'd not have finished listening and would've returned it.
Thankfully the book gets interesting by the middle and good enough that you can't stop listening.
In sum, this book doesn't appear to have anything to do with the series at all, but it does and just hang in there as it's not only important to the overall series but does get really good and all will be revealed by the end tying all the main characters into it.

Don’t skip this title!

I almost skipped this because the description read like a spin off from the main series. It is but it also isn’t. I have no regrets about buying it and getting to know new characters.

Very Exciting

We got to learn more about some new characters. I look forward to their future adventures. I really enjoyed the Irish accents. Great narration.

Strong YA Branch from the Main Series

This mostly YA branch off the main Demon Accords story line is very enjoyable.

Declan O'Carroll, a young but powerful witch, is an excellent protagonist. He is something of an outcast in his high school class, but unlike most such protagonists, he has magical power to keep himself from being bullied.

The second main character is running from the main series antagonists with her mother. She has special training and abilities of her own, and the story largely revolves around their developing relationship.

The plot here mostly fits in the gaps in the last mainline book in the series, which rather limits its scope, but those limits are handled deftly by Conroe.

The narrator's voice works quite well for the young characters here and he enhanced the experience of the book.

If this had not been constrained by having to fit around the events of the other stories in the series, this book would probably be 5 stars, but even with that, I would still recommend it wholeheartedly.
