Book Review: Lucky Son of a Gun (The Demo Accords Book 19) by John Conroe

Lucky Son of a Gun (The Demon Accords Book 19)

Mack Sutton is a normal guy who just happens to attend a very abnormal school. In a college where the pretty girls can kill you with a whisper and most of the guys can bench press a car, Mack and his sister Jetta are just run of the mill people -- or are they? Formerly printed as a Kindle Vella, this is a novel of the Demon Accords that gives a glimpse into the lives of the only non-supernatural kids in College Arcane.

Mack Sutton and his sister Jetta attend a school for supernaturals and are the only two students who are considered normal or nonmagical, yet they are the luckiest people ever. Is it simply a case of luck or is it something more? Mack has been known as a player with the women but after a very bad experience where he was tricked by a demon, he hasn’t been dating anyone. Cue beautiful witch girl, Veronica. He’s not sure if he’s scared of her or just really into her but everyone else can see they are clearly into each other.

One of the things I really enjoyed about Conroe’s books is the underlying meanings. Often his books in some way reflect what’s going on in the real world or what could soon be happening in the real world, and I find it interesting to see his take on things. In this series I don’t think you can even have a favorite character because each book makes a character your favorite.

Conroe wrote his first readable novel, God Touched, right after finishing his daughter's copy of Twilight and muttering: "Vampires don't farging sparkle!"

With seven more books in the series and a stand alone novel (Black Frost), he doesn't seem to be slowing down. He cut his reading teeth on the likes of Robert E. Howard, Edgar Rice Burroughs, JRR Tolkien, Robert Heinlein, Andre Norton, and H. Beam Piper.

Financial professional by day and author by night (actually by morning), he bangs out his stories with fingers that are usually sore from forge burns or getting beat up at the dojo.

Book Review: Darkkin Knight: Formerly published on Kindle Vella under the same name. (The Demon Accords) by John Conroe

From the Demon Accords Universe: meet Katrina Westing. One of Tatiana Demidova's fixers, deadly fighter, borderline psycho. She can make personnel problems literally disappear. Turned at age twelve, trapped in a child's body for 170 years, rescued from personal hell by Chris Gordon. This is her story.

Amazon


Katrina Westing is one of Tatiana’s fixers, one she can send on a mission where stealth or violence is necessary, and she always delivers. Katrina was turned at the age of 12, a taboo in the Darkkin world, but with the help from others in the vampire world she was able to survive and thrive. She is one who in today’s modern world may be termed a sociopath or a psychopath as she doesn’t feel the emotions as most do.

This was a story that needed telling. It gives insight into how the Darkkin view themselves and the rules they have. It tells how if someone was given the chance, a person can thrive in a new environment, and it might just save their life. Katrina has been around in the series, but I really enjoyed getting to know her more.

Book Review: The Demon Accords Compendium Vol. 2 (Stories from the Demon Accords Universe) by John Conroe

The Demon Accords Compendium Vol. 2 (Stories from the Demon Accords Universe)

Pages: 77
Volume 2. Four more stories set in Amazon bestselling author John Conroe's Demon Accords universe: the mind of a mind reader, babysitting the supernatural, packing up, and what's it like to be a queen. More fun for fans of the Accords with set up for the series story arc.

In volume 2 of The Demon Accords Compendium back stories continue for the demon accords universe.

It starts out with Lost Souls, which features Nika, the resident telepath who follows a man who kidnapped a baby. What she finds is a Vorsook, a very powerful alien who can control the minds of almost anyone. Hoping that she can block the alien from taking over her mind she is in for the fight of her life.

Sitting Pretty follows Toni, as she babysits the twins and tries to take them out for a peaceful walk on a beautiful day. As with most things in the Demidova life, nothing is ever as easy and peaceful as one hopes. The twins powers are still a mystery, but insights begin to emerge in this exciting tale.

Pack is All takes place right before Sitting Pretty and takes place between the New York Pack Alpha’s and Declan, who much to the alpha’s dismay has slighted them and the pack by interfering in pack business. Declan, however, feels that as Stacia’s mate he has the right under pack to law to use all resources at his disposal to protect his mate and any family they have down the road. This is a pivotal point for Declan, Statia and Holly and where they may go in the future.

Finally, the compendium finishes up with Queen of the Night which is done from Tanya’s point of view and a trip to Orlando and Disneyland. A demon portal is found in Orlando and needs to be closed. Chris plans a trip to Disneyland for the entire crew to check out the portal and hopefully close it. A glimpse of what we might expect in the Conroe’s next demon accords book is seen here.

Book Review: The Demon Accords Compendium (Stories from the Demon Accords Universe) by John Conroe

Now in an exciting group of stories from the Amazon bestselling Demon Accords series find out how it all started - from another pair of eyes. How to raise a God Touched exorcist. Extracurricular college fun. What do you get the vampire who has everything - excitement. Four stories from the Demon Accords Universe starring some favorite characters and introducing a new one. Novella length fun.

Conroe has put together the first volume of stories that give you a glimpse into the demon accords universe from another perspective.

The first story gives Lydia’s insight into Chris and Tanya meeting for the first time. It was fun to see it from her side of things not to mention it’s always nice to revisit the beginning of this love story.

The second story is the story of Chris from his grandfather’s eyes when he was about 15 years old. Chris and Alex get called in to search and rescue a couple of fishermen who have gone missing. The insight into what Alex feels for Chris and how Chris handles demon hunting close to when it all started for him was a story worth including in this book.

The third story gives us a glimpse into the werewolf pack. Keitan is accompanying a friend camping and one of the guys with them is giving off a very strange vibe. Quick thinking maybe the only way the group survives the night.

Finally, the compendium finishes up with a few character favorites. Arkady is bored and decides to mess with Declan only to find that Lydia is not at all impressed. These leads Arkady to question his honor and purpose on this earth.
