Hound of Night

Veil Knights, Book 3

De: Rowan Casey

Narrado por: Lawrence Locke

Sometimes, the magic is real.

John Seton is a grifter, an ex-pat Scots kid working penny-ante magic tricks on the streets of L.A. But John has a secret. In his family, sometimes, the magic is real. And sometimes, it gets him noticed.

A man named Dante Grimm tells him he’s the modern incarnation of a knight of old and that he is part of a group of companions tasked with holding back the darkness to come in a battle the likes of which the world hasn't seen in centuries, a battle against a foe straight out of their worst nightmares.

Grimm sets Seton a quest, to find an item that is required to stop the coming dark, an ancient piece of leather of uncertain provenance, and high magic.

Seton sets out onto the streets, and quickly finds that he is not the only one after the halter. He is soon at odds with friends, family and foes alike, and when he is betrayed by the one person he has always been closest to, the quest comes to a head.

Seton has a hound on his tail, and he will have to travel far to avoid it, further than he has ever traveled before.

Beyond the veil, where the darkness is real, and the hounds bay loudly.

Great Audiobook.

Loved the story, but you had to pay attention to it or you'd have to rewind to get back to who was speaking. (As I did a couple of times.) As for the Narrator, he was perfect with his old folks voice, his Scottish accent was great, and he wasn't too bad as a Singer either. Read all three books, in order, to get the best picture of how the storyline works.

You cannot out con a grifter

Another knight, another question! This one an old leather lead, but off course, there's a lot more than that.
A collector of magical artifacts, a woman, held captive, wanting freedom. A dynasty of red headed Scottish Seton's, that have helped civilization through using their wits.

Great Urban Fantasy

The series keeps getting better and better with each book, I hope the rest will soon be available on audible. Hound of Night was definitely an entertaining listen, it's fast-paced, action-packed, and exciting urban fantasy. I can't wait to find out what's next for John Seton.

Excellent narration by Lawrence Locke. He captured the characters' personalities and animation nicely, bringing the story to life. Overall, this was an entertaining urban fantasy. I was given a free copy of this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
