We’re Supernatural Protection & Investigations, known as SPI. Things that go bump in the night, the monsters you thought didn’t exist? We battle them and keep you safe. But some supernatural baddies are just too big to contain, even for us. When I moved to New York to become a world famous journalist, I never imagined that snagging a job at a seedy tabloid would change my career path from trashy reporter to undercover agent. I’m Makenna Fraser, a Seer for SPI. I can see through any disguise, shield, or spell that a paranormal pest can come up with. I track down creatures and my partner, Ian Byrne, takes them out.Our cases are generally pretty routine, but a sickle-wielding serial killer has been prowling the city’s subway tunnels. And the murderer’s not human. The fiend in question, a descendant of Grendel - yes, that Grendel - shares his ancestor’s hatred of parties, revelry, and drunkards. And with New Year’s Eve in Times Square only two days away, we need to bag him quickly. Because if we don’t find him - and the organization behind him - by midnight, our secret’s out and everyone’s time is up.

Don't know if there is another book like this one. This book was good for all ages. And that makes it stand in lane that does not have to many books in it.What about Johanna Parker’s performance did you like?

On the other hand I am quite fond of an original story, great characters, fun, action, all the good things that go into a good story.
That's why I like Harry Dresden, Alex Verus, Bob Howard, and now Makenna Frazier-our heroine.
It's original, it's got it's share of fun, some twists, the action keeps moving, it's a great listen. It feels personal. And intimate.
Really good narrator. I really hope they get her again for book 2, which I hope will be out soon.
I liked it. Enough to get the next one as soon as it comes out.
You should give it a try, you'll like it.
Hoping book 2 isn't far behind!

First, the narrator's accent was all over the place! All over! For example, a British character would speak, and she would switch from almost British to American southern to New York to unidentifiable and back through them all again. It was extremely distracting and made it hard to keep track of who was talking at any given time.
Secondly, the story was pretty good, but the prose was hard to follow often throughout the story. Information was shared at random intervals and completely unrelated to the given situation, or almost too late. Some better editing would have made for a better experience.
I will probably listen to the next one, but I am hoping for some improvement if I am going to continue on in this series. The premise is very interesting, but not good enough to contend with these issues across multiple books.
What accent?
