From a Drood to a Kill

A Secret Histories Novel

By: Simon R. Green

Narrated by: Gideon Emery

Some call me Shaman Bond, but I was born Eddie Drood: the latest in a long line of folks who chase monsters out of closets for a living to keep humanity safe from all that is dark, demonic, and just downright evil. Needless to say,we've made our fair share of enemies over the centuries - and made some questionable bargains.

In exchange for the power to fight the forces of darkness, my parents signed over their souls. They're not the only ones who've made deals with heaven, hell, and every otherworldly realm in between, but now the bill's due for several big names in the supernatural community...including my girl, Molly. She, my parents, and other major players have been kidnapped so they'll pay up or participate in the "Big Game". The rules are simple: get from one side of the pocket dimension to the other, and kill your competitors. The winner's debt is paid in full, and the losers get themselves permanently lost, body and soul, forever.

To save my loved ones, I've got to become a ringer in this deadly contest that's undoubtedly rigged by the powers that be....

To Readers with Love

Another great installment in the Secret Histories. Simon R Green keeps of the pace and Gideon Emery brings the players to life.

The performance

This book kept me interested and entertained. It’s an easy listen while walking and doing other activities.

Really fun but

This is a really fun story but I feel like the summary isn’t very good for the actual story. In addition the ending is rather sudden, abrupt, and shaky lore wise

back to form is Simon R. Green and the Eddie Drood

I have to say, I was glad to step back into the Secret Histories world with this book. I love Simon Green's writing and it was because of a Nightside sorry story that I was pulled into the world of urban fantasy.

If you have any doubt of this book, let me say that Eddie grows as a character and the biggest growth is seen in what he chooses NOT to do.

Meh

Not the best in the series. The lady faire (last Drood book) was really good, this one was kind of boring.
