About this listen

Cop and conjurer of demons, she's a woman in danger of losing control - to a power that could kill....

"Why me? Why now?" That’s what Beaulac, Louisiana, detective Kara Gillian was asking herself when an angelic creature named Rhyzkahl unexpectedly appeared during a routine summoning. Kara was hoping to use her occult skills to catch a serial killer, but never had she conjured anything like this unearthly beautiful and unspeakably powerful being whose very touch set off exquisite new dimensions of pleasure. But can she enlist his aid in helping her stop a killer who’s already claimed the lives - and souls - of 13 people? And should she?

The Symbol Man is a nightmare that the city thought had ended three years ago. Now he's back for an encore and leaving every indication on the flesh of his victims that he, too, is well versed in demonic lore. Kara may be the only cop on Beaulac’s small force able to stop the killer, but it is her first homicide case. Yet with Rhyzkahl haunting her dreams, and a handsome yet disapproving FBI agent dogging her waking footsteps, she may be in way over her head.

I've read several of Diana Rowland's book IE 'White Trash Zombie series' which I can't wait until book 4&5 are put onto audible please and loved her style of writing (I couldn't stop listening 😍loving the zombie series) so I thought I'd give ' The Demon series' a go. I'm EXTREMELY happy that I did as I really enjoyed this first book. I don't want to give any spoilers but it's very addictive as I couldn't stop listening 🎧 to this audiobook. Going to start book 2 now 'The Blood of a Demon 😈'

Where does Mark of the Demon rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

One of the best stories I have listened too.

What did you like best about this story?

Loved the supernatural mixed with a (gruesome) murder mystery. Great concept of demons not being creatures of hell but more like 'aliens' living in another dimension. The plot and characters are very interesting and i will certainly read the next in series. (The narrator ruined it for me which is why I will read the next one!)

Did Liv Anderson do a good job differentiating each of the characters? How?

Erm, really hate to be negative but the narrator ruined it for me. Not great at differentiating the characters so I found I had to play close attention to which character was talking. She could have changed pitch and used a different accent for the characters...

Great story! A strong female cop and sexy demons!

Not my usual type of stuff. I bought this in an Audible sale expecting but much. While it's not great literature it is an entertaining tale with interesting characters. Now I need to know what happens next. Thankfully I ordered the next one in the same sale :)

Surprisingly addictive

Any additional comments?

This book is excellent. It has an unusual twist on the paranormal genre as well as heroes that are flawed. Now that the second book is finally in audio format I'm relishing the thought of my new adventure with Kara.

Very original story
