Story4.5 out of 5 stars 3,542
Once upon a time, in the magical land of San Francisco, there lived a not-so-ordinary girl named Laurel Pettigrew. She was supposed to be the Chosen One. The plan was simple: She would vanquish the great evil Tybus in an epic battle. But destiny had other ideas, and Laurel's performance in the whole heroics department was a colossal flop. Now, instead of being a legendary hero, Laurel's the resident pariah of the magic realm. And what’s worse, the dark wizard Tybus swooped in, took over the realm, and forced all supernatural creatures to live under his tyrannical rule.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 4,490
Against the backdrop of worldwide, unexplainable natural disasters, Dr. Virginia Marilyn Edwards (Emmy Award-winner Kerry Washington) seeks out Agent Scott Thomas (Emmy Award-winner Laurence Fishburne) at a secretive government headquarters. Virginia claims these events are signs, and unless Agent Thomas helps her, she believes things will only get worse. Her desperation is dialed up higher with a shocking proclamation as she stands before him pregnant, weak, and weary: “Agent Thomas,” she says, “I believe I am Mary.”

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 240
Among the first seven scrolls discovered in the caves of Qumran at the Dead Sea is a scroll given the name "The Book of Giants". It is thought to have been based on the Book of Enoch, a pseudepigraphical Jewish work from the third century BCE. The Book of Giants, like the Book of Enoch, concerns itself with the Nephilim, which are the offspring of fallen angels, who are called the Watchers. Two main versions of the text exist. The Dead Sea version is written in Aramaic.

Narration is awful
Reviewed: 07-25-18
I suffered through the book because I wanted to learn more about the subject, but that long dramatic pause and repeat of each chapter made it feel like an 1970’s production. It got better towards the end, but it was rough!

I can't believe I have to wait an entire year for book 3. This is the best book I've listened to on audible. The narrator brought it to life. Loved all of it!!

The House of Hades - narrator is terrible!
Reviewed: 10-22-14
If you could sum up The House of Hades in three words, what would they be?
Book good, narrator awful!!
What did you like best about this story?
The undeniable trust between Percy and Anna Beth.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Nick Chamian?
Swanson...why would you all change narrator in the middle if the series. There should be some form of testing to ensure a balance between existing and newly selected narrators before changing midstream. I think Chamin should have known this wasn't a good role for him. Now when I see his name on any audiobooks, I will pass it over...Always!
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Yes, I cried because I spent my money on a book that I just could not finish because if the terrible narrator.
Any additional comments?
Bring back Swanson!!!
