About this listen

In America, demons wear white hoods.

In 1915, The Birth of a Nation casts a spell across America, swelling the Klan's ranks and drinking deep from the darkest thoughts of white folk. All across the nation they ride, spreading fear and violence among the vulnerable. They plan to bring hell to Earth. But even Ku Kluxes can die.

Standing in their way are Maryse Boudreaux and her fellow resistance fighters, a foulmouthed sharpshooter and a Harlem Hellfighter. Armed with blade, bullet, and bomb, they hunt their hunters and send the Klan's demons straight to hell. But something awful's brewing in Macon, and the war on hell is about to heat up.

Can Maryse stop the Klan before it ends the world?

Inconsistent

The story was alright but I found the narrator inconsistent with voices which took me out of it a bit!

Interesting, fun, profound

A good short read, holds a lot of weight for its length, while being dark and fun at the same time

Nice comic book in novel form

Narrator was fantastic - good voices not overdone, including for strong dialects, and more passion in the musical parts than I've normally heard.

Story was definitely an original and clever concept, but I wasn't impressed by how it was developed. For me, if the moral lessons were less plainly spelled out, it would have inspired more reflection and it also wouldn't have had such a cheesy feel.. At the same time, maybe that was intentional to reach a broader audience.

The band of main heroes filling the familiar tropes, the humor and action blended in such a way, and the above described cheesiness - all makes it feel like a comic book. A good one to be sure, with the original story idea! But not a novel to stick with me.

Incredible

Easily the best audiobook I’ve ever listened to. The narrator brought this incredible story to life. Every bit of it has been so immaculately crafted, from the characters, to the plot, to the themes and the narration pulled it all together!

Incredibly Original and Damn Good!

Such a wicked spin on the KKK but done so well and the story is gripping. It delves into fantasy and the supernatural so don’t think it’s just a hack and slash tale, but it’s so well written and told. Channie Waites is AMAZING as the narrator, blows every other performer out of the water. PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS BOOK
