Summary
NYPD Detective Alec MacAidan has always been good with weird. After all, his life has been a string of the unexplainable. But when an injured man gives him cryptic clues, then turns to dust in front of him, Alec's view on weird is changed forever.
Cronin, a vampire Elder, has spent the last 1,000 years waiting for Alec. He'd been told his fated one would be a man wielding a shield, but he didn't expect him to be human, and he certainly didn't expect that shield to be a police badge.
Both men, strong-willed and stubborn, are still learning how to cope with the push and pull of being fated, when fate throws them another curveball.
Rumors have spread quickly of turmoil in Egypt. Covens are fleeing with news of a vampire who has a talent like no other, hell-bent on unleashing the wrath of Death.
Alec and Cronin are thrown into a world of weird Alec cannot imagine. What he learned in school of ancient pharaohs and Egyptian gods was far from the truth. Instead, he finds out firsthand that history isn't always what it seems.

7 out of 5 amazing stars
As books this series is amazing. As an Audio, Joel Leslie adds so much more. His ability to give every character a distinct voice, the sights and sounds of the locations while vivid in the book become bright and minute in the audio. He is in the middle of book 11 now and it's going to be just as Glorious.
I highly recommend this to Everyone.

Good story but
The narrator sounds like a tired and week chain smoker who’s dying and ruins the story. Who decided to employ an inappropriate voice ? They should be shown the back door

great story, had me hooked.
i thought the narrator had an older voice than the characters he played, it took some of the magic away for me. great story and imaginative plot, kept me entertained.

Probably when Cronin and Alec managed some alone time... ooh lala!!

Very good book
The book was very interesting. The storyline was good and the characters were varied with interesting personalities. Narration was very good. The narrator was good with the different accents and emotions. I always knew who was speaking during conversations.

Very good story line, lore, good character dynamics and just enough male/male intimacy.
Great narration and accents.

Good story terrible accents
A good gay vampire story if you can ignore the terrible Scottish accents. Whilst not Scottish myself I have lived here 21 years. God knows what part of Scotland they're supposed to be from. On a side note, the Japanese character sounds like Mr Miyagi. Get over that and have yourself a good gay fantasy romp.

Excellent story
I found this book because I love Joel Leslie’s beautiful voice and am working my way through his catalog. I’m shocked I’ve never seen this series on BookTok because BookTokers are missing out. This was an excellent story full of drama, interesting characters and I loved it.

Best audio I've heard
I have previously read this book and rated the story at a solid 4 stars - but boy does the audio elevate Cronin's key way above that. Joel Leslie's narration of this book is so spot on I was utterly captivated. Each character (and there are quite a few in this!) had a unique presence - different accents (the Scottish one is superb!), different inflections and pacing had me seeing sides to each role I didn't pick up on in the book. Cronin was a tad more vulnerable and Alec more passionate, and I just loved Eiji :)
This audio is highly recommended - immensely enjoyable and deeply satisfying.
