About this listen
In this spellbinding novella, E.J. Stevens weaves a tale of murder, necromancy, and demonic possession that brings together characters from her Whitechapel Paranormal Society Victorian horror series and award-winning Ivy Granger Psychic Detective urban fantasy series on the fog-shrouded cobblestones of Craven Street.
The discovery of bricked-up skeletal remains at 36, Craven Street point to something more diabolical than an illegal anatomy school. The tool marks on the bones - arcane sigils of great power - indicate more than mere butchery, more than enlightened experimentation. The signs, omens, and portents support the crown's greatest fears. A great evil is being unleashed upon the gaslit streets of London, a blood-drenched shadow reaching skeletal fingers beyond the slums of Whitechapel.
Collecting human souls is a thankless job, nearly as tedious as acting as solicitor to the fae. But when the demon Forneus enters an opium den searching for men eager to trade their souls for the ill-smelling weed, he stumbles on a plot so devious and so heinous, he's jealous that he hadn't thought of it himself.
"We must stamp out this demonic plague for the sake of our queen, our country, and our immortal souls." (Cora Drummond, Whitechapel Paranormal Society)
"There's nothing like a maniacal plot to unleash hell on earth to break the boredom of immortality." (Forneus, Grand Marquis of Hell)
From the Independent Audiobook Award-winning writer, narrator, directors, and producers of Frostbite.

To my great delight, Forneus puts in an appearance. He’s just as devilishly appealing as always. I loved his attitude towards the ‘Golden Retrievers of the demon world’. So adorable! Forneus is a bundle of danger, deceit, humor, and a soft, gooey core for a few chosen things and people.
All together, it was a worthy addition to Stevens’s interconnected series. I really look forward to seeing what she does next with these characters. 5/5 stars.
The Narration: Melanie A. Mason and Anthony Bowling narrated this story. Mason had the bulk of the work as most of the story is told through Cora’s point of view. I loved her various British accents. She nailed Cora perfectly. Bowling really brings Forneus to life, giving that entertaining character an extra dimension. On the technical side, things were pretty good. It was obvious but not annoying that the two narrators weren’t in the same sound booth during recording. The volume stayed the same throughout yet there was usually a slight pause when the narration switched between the two narrators. So perhaps just a touch of polishing needed there to make it seamless. 4.75/5 stars.

Atmospheric, but spoiled by 2-person narration

My other niggle is with the accents. They are very up and down and made it difficult to concentrate some times. By the way, Wapping is pronounced as in swapping and Thames is pronounced as "tems" not
"tims". I know this sounds like I don't like the book but I really did enjoy it and will be looking for others in the series. I hope that the comments will be taken as constructive feedback rather than negative.
Entertaining story but I. Have a few reservations

Interesting new series

My favourite character would be Forneus, Grand Marquis of Hell, who proves himself quite helpful to our heroic ladies, not without his own motives of course, he is a demon after all.
The narration is marvellous, the British accents were almost 100% perfect, the pronunciation of puma gives the game away though, all in all I was very impressed with both the narration and the story itself, my only disappointments being how short it is and that there are not yet any further books in the series.
Fantastic
