Lost

Quincy Harker Demon Hunter, Book 9

By: John G. Hartness

Narrated by: James Anderson Foster

Quincy Harker needs a vacation, but there's no peace to be found in the usually sleepy seaside resort of North Carolina's Outer Banks. No, there's a serial killer stalking the streets of Manteo, and there's even more to the crimes than usual. Add in a heavily warded cemetery with hints of magic long thought to have vanished from the earth, a mystery centuries in the making, and a string of horrifyingly realistic nightmares plaguing Rebecca Flynn, Harker's fiancee, and our boy isn't getting any rest or relaxation. But he is getting the one thing he's really, really good at handling—a fight.

Quincy Harker investigates modern murders and the oldest mystery in United States history all at the same time as he tried to figure out who's killing tourists in Manteo while also investigating the truth behind the Lost Colony in Lost, the ninth book in the Quincy Harker, Demon Hunter series of award-winning dark urban fantasy novels.

It’s nice Harker has family

If it all ended here I could be content.
I hope there is more in store for QFH

Family and Harker’s mouth- what more is there?

To Quincy Harker: “You know, for a superhero, you get knocked out a lot.”
Yes! A fun, mouthy, standalone Harker story. It’s even possible to start here, as we’re provided with recaps of previous adventures throughout.

“Name one good thing that’s ever happened in a crypt.”
And oh, the banter between series regulars! All my favorites gather to help Harker investigate:
Becks, Uncle Luke (aka Dracula), Angel Glory, and demon Faustus.

“Harker’s book of Sh! that shall not stand … including reversing the toilet paper roll…”
Okay, yes, the language and the attitude was pretty thick, especially the F bombs in the first two hours.

“Everybody poops Harker, there’s even a book about it.”
This one’s also thick on the pop culture references. But, it works as self-aware, wicked satire… or merely as a sign of fandom for other books and fantasy tropes. I only regret burning through this so quickly.

Excellent narration as usual

I'm not sure exactly but the storyline just didn't seem up to previous works. Entertaining, yes.

Great step forward

Great book to follow the cross overs. However, kinda seemed like an end. I hope not can’t get enough of Quincy and do not want him to go away like the Knight Brothers. Keep up the great series. As always narration is so unbelievable. How do you make me hear so many different people. Amazing!!!

a great ride

I was enjoy the story and narrator. Keep them coming and I'll keep buying them.

missed these characters

its been a while since one of these has been released.....popped up amd got it immediately. if you like the series, you will love this book as well

Enjoyable but no new ground.

It's all the familiar hits you expect in a Quincy F'N Harker book. There's a big bad, demons, Luke, Becks, Faustus, and Glory. Like comfort food for the ears.

Biggest complaint? Seen "Hot Fuzz?" Not enough of a lift to ruin the story but enough to be distracting.

Hartness is always a good read.

I always love Quincy Harker. He is a spiritual warrior that we all need. It seems he gets better with each new book. Thanks John. Thanks
