Publisher’s Synopsis:
Quincy Harker is back, and the stakes are higher than ever. The fate of the world rests on the shoulders of a swearing, drinking, misanthropic half-vampire with a bad attitude and an itchy trigger finger. Harker and his team of misfits have just a few days to prevent the actual end of the world, as a group of fanatics have kidnapped a young man thought to possess the power to open the Seven Seals.
The thrilling sequel to Raising Hell brings even more action, more explosions, and more Renfield to readers.
Point of view:
1st person. Entirely from Harker’s perspective.
Rellim’s Thoughts:
This is book 2 in the Quincy Harker: Demon Hunter series. While there’s a complete story, they’re definitely best enjoyed in order as revelations impact later books.
Harker is trying to stop the end of the world from the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse. Flynn and Smith are along as well and he even enlists Renfield’s skills. Hartness gives more background on the characters and I liked learning about Flynn & Harker’s complicated past.
Magic, mayhem, ninjas, motorcycle gangs, dragons, and of course snarky banter. The pacing is great and these are easy to binge.
Narration:
James Anderson Foster continues to be a great match for the writing and characters. Wally was particularly funny. The sniping between Harker & Flynn is always delightful.
About the author:
John G. Hartness is a teller of tales, a righter of wrong, defender of ladies’ virtues, and some people call him Maurice, for he speaks of the pompatus of love. He is also the award-winning author of the urban fantasy series The Black Knight Chronicles, the Bubba the Monster Hunter comedic horror series, the Quincy Harker, Demon Hunter dark fantasy series, and many other projects. He is also a cast member of the role-playing podcast Authors & Dragons, where a group of comedy, fantasy, and horror writers play Dungeons & Dragons. Very poorly.
In 2016, John teamed up with a group of other publishing industry ne’er-do-wells and founded Falstaff Books, a small press dedicated to publishing the best of genre fiction’s “misfit toys.” Falstaff Books has since published over 50 titles with authors ranging from first-timers to NY Times bestsellers, with no signs of slowing down any time soon.
In his copious free time John enjoys long walks on the beach, rescuing kittens from trees and playing Magic: the Gathering. John’s pronouns are he/him.

About the narrator:
Dubbed “the Hardest Working Man in Audiobooks,” James Anderson Foster has won or been nominated for every major award in the audiobook industry, and was one of those kids who actually lettered in drama way back in High School (and if you ask nicely, he might even tell you just how far back that was).
Since that time, he’s done most of his acting behind a microphone, and has narrated audiobooks for a variety of publishers, across nearly all genres – both fiction and non.
