I am back with a review of the seventh audiobook in the Eric Carter urban fantasy series, Suicide Kings by Stephen Blackmoore. Rudy Sandra narrates as Eric aids a friend in a dangerous ritual and becomes embroiled in an age-old rivalry. Fast-paced, this series pulls me in every time.
Some time has passed since Carter was pulled back from the dead and he's dealing with the new body and new perspective. When Eric agrees to help with a ritual that could affect the fate of all mages, he finds himself in the middle of a centuries old dispute between two of the darkest families we have encountered. Eric has changed and dare I say he's become more moral?
This audiobook in particular really captured the Noir flair of the series. I have loved Eric's unapologetic attitude since the beginning. Listening to him interact with friends and foes as he works to solve several mysteries, while keeping himself from ending up back with the dead was a blast.
Now, most urban fantasy series end with a hook to get you excited for the next book, but this was a full cliffhanger. Yikes! I am glad the audiobooks are releasing in quick succession. Sometimes it pays to go for older series in a genre you love.
Suicide Kings was just under ten hours and I wanted more, like a thirty-one hour tome... but that's just because I was so caught up in the characters, action-packed moments and near death excitement. Rudy Sanda is the voice of Eric and does a fantastic job with secondary characters making listening a joy. I highly recommend you check out this series on audio.
