The war against the forces of darkness continues...

At age 15, Nicole Robertson was possessed by a demonic entity. She survived this ordeal thanks to a successful exorcism. Now, eight years later, Nicole is still haunted by the experience. But the nightmare isn't over. She is about to become the target of an apocalyptic cult led by a former elite soldier with a chilling planned for her future.

Reseñas de la Crítica

" Occult Assassin moves like a bullet exploding from Talon's 9mm Glock." (Nicholas Sansbury Smith, best-selling author of Extinction Horizon and Orbs)

" The Occult Assassin series evokes the golden age of genre fiction: snappy writing and great plotting, larger-than-life characters, and a delicious mix of international intrigue and the occult." (Layton Green, best-selling author of The Dominic Grey series)

Another fast paced Urban fantasy.

It is a great quick listen, with an engaging main character, a Spec Ops soldier now fighting the forces of the occult after his fiancé is killed by cultists. He uses these specialized skills to stop cultists from raising supernatural destruction and chaos. The plot is fast paced, jetting across the world, with lots of believable action. James Fosters narration is well done, bringing the story to life. Any fan of Heath Stallcup's Monster Squad books should enjoy this series. I was given this title by the author/narrator or publisher in return for an honest review through Audiobookblast dot com.

Great

The story was super so many turns in the road. Easy listen fast paced story

An amazing second book.

Any additional comments?

I loved book 1 of this but I have to say that this one was even better! It blew me away. The summary is spot on so let's get to my thoughts.

Talon is back and more composed and able to do his job better. In book 1 he was learning the ropes but here he knows what to do so we see more action from him plus he has a benefactor so there is more weaponry and knowledge.

This brought more emotions to the surface while reading, for me anyway. I felt so sorry for Nicole when she was young, but even more so now because she knows what to expect. I find possession stories to be so extremely scary and this is no different. The idea of a thing being inside you is just so shudder inducing that I was holding my breath at those scenes. Then the author adds in twist after twist and I was left reeling.

Once again, this is high octane action and adventure. Once I started I couldn't stop and listened to it in a day again. It has everything a great book needs and more. This book is pure entertainment and I could see it as a mini series cause it's that good.

In all, a stellar second book. I loved everything about it and will definitely be keeping my eye on this author. Bring on more Talon and co!!!!!

Once again, James Foster gave a flawless performance. He really knows how to bring the listener into the story and keep their attention throughout. Definitely a narrator that delivers all the time.

Amazing

Any additional comments?

This is an excellent series. I love books with a different spin on my favorite genres and this certainly fits the bill. Mark Talon, ex Delta Force soldier, returns with more action and even creepier demons. The story is fast paced and really draws you in. I like that you get more of a glimpse into the main character Mark Talon the man and what motivates him to do what he does. He's almost superhuman in a way. Great job by the author and by all means keep them coming. I'm in the for ride. The narrator also does an excellent job. I received this book in exchange for an honest review.

Better and better

This book was even better than the first! More action, deeper story. Mark comes up against his nemesis. It grabs you in the beginning and doesn't let up until the end. Hard to put down. This one, I will listen to again. Mark's drive for vengeance fuels him and keeps him focused as he racks up the body count in his fight against evil. Good, good, good! The narration was even better. The first one was great too, but in this one, he really settles into the story and characters.

Popcorn

These books are like popcorn. Short reads, light on calories, but satisfying by the time you're done so you feel no regrets for the indulgence.

This is a great series

Mark Talon, ex Delta Force soldier, returns for another adventure. Now he has an outlet for revenge on the forces that destroyed his future wife. He makes it his life mission to extinguish all similar evil forces so he can let loose all of his aggression for one goal, vengeance.

This is a great series and if you haven’t listened to Damnation Code, the first book. You really do not need to, this one could stand alone if you wanted it to. However, I always recommend starting at the beginning with any series.

The summary gives a pretty good rundown of the plot for this one and because the audiobook is comparatively very short, I will not add anything as I do not want to give anything away.

I will say this. Fans of military paranormal thrillers will love this book. Very fast paced with tons of action. Only a few slow spots, spent character building, and they are brief. Massa does a great job of not over explaining anything or over introducing anyone. The characters are not excessively constructed, sure some may seem two dimensional and shallow, but that is half of the fun! He seems to know that this story is supposed to be fun and overdoing either of those would only drag the story down.

I will keep with this series because I really enjoy the lightheartedness that Massa keeps with. No nonsense, in your face, one man against black magic. You want a fun quick listen get this series.

Once again James Foster delivers a solid performance, which, after listening to many of his works, I expect nothing less from him. Even though I have created such high standards for him, he doesn’t disappoint.

A warrior exorcist

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would to some one who liked this genre.

What other book might you compare Occult Assassin #2: Apocalypse Soldier to and why?

The Mitch Rapp series by Vince Flynn. Talon is a lot like Mitch Rapp. His love got killed by the bad guys and he kicks terrorist's asses. The main difference is that Mitch Rapp fights political terrorists and Talon fights occult terrorists.

What does James Foster bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The drama of hearing a story a story and more personality to the characters.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Warrior Exocist

Any additional comments?

Lots of action and edge of your seat suspense. Good vs Evil, Light vs Dark themed supernatural thriller. Not at all boring!!

Rather than Talon being a Lone Wolf warrior, I think the author should consider building a team. There have been some good candidates in both this book and the first book that would make for good team members. Talon is use to working in a team and as he comes to terms with his personal grief I think a team should be developed. Just my personal thoughts.

Great series, although I enjoyed book 1 a bit more

Would you listen to Occult Assassin #2: Apocalypse Soldier again? Why?

Probably not, I don't tend to listen to audiobooks multiple times... Perhaps in several years...

What other book might you compare Occult Assassin #2: Apocalypse Soldier to and why?

I don't find it fair to compare titles, it doesn't tend to do them justice

What does James Foster bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He's an excellent narrator and brings the story to life. Reading the book just wouldn't be the same, he brings the excitement, along with the authors story.

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

Not really, most books don't bring on many strong emotions for me.
