Not affiliated with the author and I do have a lot of other reviews so this is not a plug. This book is about Chris a unique man with a one of a kind gift to exorcise demons, in this universe demons can inhabit people and push out their souls. Chris eventually comes into contact with other supernatural species "angels, weres, vampires, demons, native spirits and a whole host of others" and meets his soul mate as well as grows in power and perspective. If you are wondering about the title and like me am not a fan of christian fiction I will say this book does have the Christian mythos with angels and demons but also includes all the other religions as well in a non monotheistic way. Basically you will not feel this is a preachy book as that makes up only one dimension of the story and is not the whole story one of my favorite characters is the bear who is a native spirit.Good1: The writing is mature with few errors I found that it flowed well and that the word usage was both easy to follow and engaging.2: The dialogue felt organic and real I could see people saying those things in real life and it made for good character development.3: The characters themselves are well developed and 3 dimensional they all have separate wants and needs they all have their own take on the world and whats in it. I felt the personality of the characters and that added a lot to the story as you feel them as people.4: The world was well detailed and was fleshed out as the story progressed. This means no big info dumps instead you are introduced to the world in a natural organic way this helps you make sense of it as the character does and again makes the immersion into the world effortless.
(Consider this a review of the entire series through book 4, since I could basically write the same thing about each book and it'd be equally valid.)Short, non-spoilery version: It's fun, as long as you don't think too hard.Longer, with possible spoilers:I can't really tell you why I enjoy this series. The story is fast-paced and the characters are badass, and the world is fairly interesting. But it's also poorly written, with laughable characters and a derivative world. Let's look at a the two main characters for illustration.Chris Gordon: the main character, a guy who gives off a "normal, shy loser" vibe while being anything but. At the beginning of the series he can rip demons out of possessed bodies and buildings -- something that makes him unique in the world, I might add. He's also ripped and highly capable with, so far as I can tell, any weapon. By the end of book 4 he's basically God compared to werewolves and vampires, able to kill them in bunches with ease. And I'm not exaggerating here -- at one point he vaporizes hundreds of werewolves with a thought and characters think he could pull satellites out of the sky. And he kills one of the oldest living vampires by *toning down* his abilities. He also has serious anger management issues.Tanya Demidova: Chris's girlfriend. One of the most powerful vampires in existence, and getting stronger by the day despite only being a fraction of the age of vampires with similar powers. Unspeakably gorgeous -- she can make Aphrodite look like a hag -- unimaginably intelligent, rich beyond belief, and powerful. Also jealous to the point of creepy; she will more than once run halfway across a city and tear apart a building to make sure that Chris's boo-boo isn't fatal.
