Book 2 of the Demon Accords. It's been seven months since Chris Gordon met Tanya Demidova, and a lot has changed. He's stronger and faster and has the senses of a vampire and the appetite of a werewolf. But even as he settles into his new position with the Special Situations Squad and his relationship with Tanya, new threats appear. From south of the border, north of the city, inside the NYPD, and the federal government. But the hardest fight Chris will face is with himself. Sometimes the demon inside is the most dangerous!

I really dislike writting reviews even though some authors are quite inspiring. Reading is one of my favorites forms of entertainment and with the advent ebooks and self published authors, the number of new published books are staggering. It seems the only way to get to the books/authors I like are to leave a review. Most books I read already have well thought out reviews that I generally agree with. In most cases I only leave a review if I either really enjoyed the book or hated it. So, for this particular book I concur with the other five star reviews and leave this review to show support and to encourage timely future books. I thank the author for an affordable good story.
This is a general review of the series up to book 4 (Duel Nature).I've found it difficult to enjoy the current spat of urban fantasy series. It could be since most are about human females falling for vampire males, or perhaps it is due to most being targeted to the YA audience. Whatever the reason, I haven't found an urban fantasy series that I would call great.In comes Demon Accords by John Conroe. I actually had the first book on my to-read list for over a year partially due to the cover art (it's bad, but I should of remembered the old adage of 'don't judge a book by its cover') and the title of the first book almost made the series seem religious based (bad assumption). Suffice it to say the series is great; I read through all four books in one weekend. What I enjoyed most about the series can be summed up into four points: (1) the first person perspective from one character, (2) the authors witty prose, (3) the development and interaction between the two main characters, and (4) the gritty scenes.All-in-all this is the best urban fantasy I've ever read and I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for less Twilight-like content.4.5/5.0
Ok, so I admit, I read all the reviews first (at least the negative ones) before deciding whether or not I would read this series. And the main complaint about this was that the hero in the novel was too powerful, and nothing seems to be able to beat him. While that might be a problem for others it was perfectly ok with me. People seem to love and thrive on drama. The books I read prior to this had bad things happen non stop. That's not realistic either, and if they can appreciate that side of the situation they should be able to do the same with this. Life isn't bad all the time, nor is it great all the time. There are breaks in between. But books lately don't seem to get that. I for one found Chris' inability to continuously get his a** kicked refreshing! I love the relationship between him and Tanya, and I'm eager to see it progress. Don't take the reviews as a definite. I was leery at first, but after reading it I loved it. Yes there were parts that were unbelievable but it didn't subtract from the story itself. So far this series has been entertaining, and refreshing. It's going into my pile of books to reread on a rainy day.
I wasn't sure I was going to like the direction the series was going when an angel appeared in the last book. I mean vampires, weres, spirit bears and then a god angle? Seemed a little much even for fantasy. I have to say the twists kept me reading and trying to figure out what was coming next. Enjoyed it very much although I'm a little skeptical as our hero's power continues to grow. Having an unbeatable hero can get a little boring. Looking forward to being pleasantly surprised in the next book. I really give it 3.5 stars but it won't let me.
I was looking for something similar to Jim Butcher's "Dresden Files" series and ended up reading the first 4 books of this series => I will post this same review for all 4 of them.I enjoyed a lot the first 3 books - a steady pace, some romance but never overdoing it, a lot of action and some interesting concepts & names & informations => 5 stars and I think I might read them again in the future.For my taste they're not as detailed and funny and creative as Jim Butcher's series, but still, they were quite light (although I get crazy when the 2 main characters are separated) and enjoyable.I quite liked the first half of the 4th book (mainly when the main chars were doing their job as "rovers" in the wilderness), but then things started going downhill: some of the vampires were quite stupid, the main character still had his personality problems, there were a lot of open questions and the book itself was open-ended.Therefore, 5 stars for the first 3 books (you could read only those ones and then stop), but only 3 stars to the fourth mostly because of the bad 2nd half and the bad & open-ended ending.For the time being I'm taking a break from these series.
I'm not sure why because it reads like a comic book and if I want to read a comic book, I'll simply buy one. But I like it. Writing and structure still needs improvement but the concept and story is delightfully intriguing. The characters are fun and generally really interesting. Like a bad movie you can't stop watching because it's really pretty good. Chris Gordon is a great character. He does what he does simply because it's the right thing to do and he has the power to do it. Oh and having a vampire girlfriend is so cool. Plus who couldn't love a book that features Were-Weasels that make great assassins. Definitely looking forward to book 3
