Gifted children are being murdered around the world by a religious cult that believes one of them is the Biblical Beast. But a mercenary with a bad history is on their trail and he will not let go until they are stopped.
This is the second book I've listened to by this author and much like the first, I found it equal parts good as I did find it all over the place. The overall plot and story felt a little disjointed and not cohesive. I can't even place why the book wasn't better, I just felt like it was...... too much of nothing really.
The plot sounded good, gifted kids are being killed because a cult thinks that one of them could have the mark of The Beast on them. But is it really the mark they are looking for? Or is it a cover up of something more? While there was parts I did enjoy, for the most I found myself disassociating from the story and my mind wandered. I really didn't care about the characters nor the story and didn't connect with it.
As for the narrator. Maybe it was the fact that I really didn't care what happened near the end, but I found the narrator to only read the story and not bring any life to it. He didn't have a lot of tones nor a lot of cadences for the characters and story. I would try another by him though, just to give him another chance.
I was voluntarily provided this free copy by the author, narrator, or publisher. This in no way affected nor influenced my thoughts.
