"Merlin is a threat to our way of life with his noble posturing,” Magnus said to hid disciples. “He must not be allowed to ruin future wizards with his nobility.”

After the events of the Hangman Returns, Alexander and Emma Merryweather have returned home to Chicago in hopes of living a normal life and raising their twin babies, Octavia and Octus. But the wizard Merlin arrives in Alexander’s dream and informs him of a threat to his twins in the future. The powerful wizard group, the Ignem Aeternum (the Eternal Flame), have resurfaced after centuries because they sense the twin’s power in the year 2035. Their leader, Magnus Farrot, is determined to recruit the twins as their powers have begun to manifest. Merlin helps Alexander travel to the future to save his children.

When Alexander arrives in 2035, he quickly realizes that things have changed. The government has created a task force to hunt down unregistered supernatural beings.

very good

Loved it !! this story. the narrator is so fantastic it's like your really there!! good overall

Dee Rose Rocks!

I've only read a few books by Dee Rose, but each time I read one I become more and more of a fan. The hangman universe is incredibly intriguing to me and I keep wanting to go back for more and more. this story in the vein similar to the others has plenty of action and is very fast paced. I don't want to do any detrimental spoilers but what I will say is that there are Wizards battling it out, familiar characters, and a good part of family WARmth.

Since this is an audiobook I do have to comment about the narrator. I will say that the narrator was able to keep my attention through the book and voice the characters pretty well so that their voices don't all run together and you can understand who's speaking. what I did not like and the reason why I took away from my rating a bit had nothing to do with the story. the narrator coughs at one point that takes you out of the story as it is not part of the story. I also noticed that occasionally I would get some sort of feedback while listening almost like something in the background making noise.

In My Opinion, this is a great addition to the hangman universe especially if you are a fan of the series. I happened to listen to this book as a standalone and there was still plenty enough backstory that I was able to enjoy the book.

I give this book 4 deaths out of 5.

interesting but bleh

The story had potential to be good but lacked severely. The other books may be great though. Narration was painful to say the least.
