    About this audiobook

    New York Times best-selling author Simon R. Green creates a fantastical world in his Secret Histories series, in which the Drood family protects mankind from creatures of the night. Eddie Drood is not happy about being the new head of the family, especially now that everyone believes either he or his girlfriend Molly was responsible for the former matriarch's death. Since Eddie knows he didn't do it, he doesn't like where this is going.

      Fun adventure, but I should have taken a break from the series before continuing with it. Every bit is so familiar--he must use a word processor. Pickup descriptions, actions, phrases. Not great. The story does move along, though, which is why I continue with these.

      Everyone's favorite secret agent shaman is back with his witchy lady in From Hell with Love, the latest in Simon R. Green's Secret Histories series. After gaining popularity for the series, Green expanded what was originally a trilogy into a full-blown series. From Hell with Love is the first step out of the original mold and into something more. The result is good, but not great.Eddie Drood never has it easy. Especially now, with the Matriarch of the Drood family dead and the family in chaos, with Eddie as the acting head of the family to unravel the mystery behind his grandmother's death. Some people even dare to point the finger at Eddie himself.From Hell with Love tried to expand the Secret Histories universe, but something about it just didn't quite hit critical mass yet. This world just isn't as wild or as well developed as Nightside, so I find myself missing it. At least, in Hell with Love, readers get the opportunity to return to Nightside even more, but almost to a point where it starts to feel like Secret Histories is leaning too much on the Nightside instead of developing into its own universe.Despite this, I just can't dislike Green novels. Hell with Love has entertaining twists and turns, and is far more engaging and unexpected than the last novel in the series, Spy Who Haunted Me. But let me warn you: the cliffhanger ending of Hell with Love will make you so mad. Luckily for me, I had the next book close at hand, but if you don't, you'll want to throw the book against the wall -and immediately run out and buy the next one.

      The matriarch, the leader of the Drood's, has been murdered in cold blood....and some in the family are thinking that Eddie and Molly had something to do with it. Out to prove their innocence and to stop Doctor Delirium from using the apocalypse door, Eddie and Molly set off on their biggest adventure to date. Along the way an old rogue returns, the family is attacked in its home base, and an ancient powerful is revealed at last. And only the Drood's...with the help of some of Frankenstein's creatures, stand in the way.This is a typical Simon R. Green work, fast paced, full of action, tired cliches, and a story that keeps you coming back for more. If you've not read in the Drood universe before, put the book down and go pick up the first one. Even though you can read these out of order it really does help to have the background of what's gone on before (and just because their fun books to read.) This isn't the best book of the series and Green does tend to drag on a bit with describing some of the battle scenes and action which draws the book out a bit. He also repeats a lot of the same phrases in the book and from earlier books, which to me takes away a bit. Overall though, its another rousing book in the series and sets the stage for something even bigger.

      Green's style is getting a bit tiresome for me, because of its predictability. He needs to come up with some new tricks, but to be fair his original tricks are quite good. This Drood story has a truly great ending, and a lot of fun on the way, but is very gory. So is all of Green. Not appropriate for children but good fun for the rest of us.

      It's fun to see Simon R. Green weave in everything from Dr. Who to his classic Deathstalker hero Owen, into this take-off of James Bond, assuming Bond came from a family of Nightsiders (another of Green's excellent series). Shaman Bond, whose real name is Eddie Drood, battles supernatural, mythical, and alien villains - some of which are his own family. Doesn't have the seriousness of John Taylor/Nightside, but all the cultural references are fun to spot.

      I'm not sure what took me so long to get to this series, but I am going to make up for lost time as soon as I can. Starting with the fourth in the series wasn't a hindrance either. I think this one could be a stand-alone if needs be. I know Simon R Green from his Nightside series which is one I would like more if it didn't have the little tic of stating something about 'the Nightside' in every other paragraph. Thankfully, this series seems to be tic-free. Absolutely nothing to bug my tic-picky brain. Everything to dig as far as action and well-written characters of both good and evil and excellent world-building, witty dialogue. It started, for me, with Eddie Drood's undercover name, Shaman Bond. Well, maybe it started with the punny titles of the series:THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN TORCDAEMONS ARE FOREVERTHE SPY WHO HAUNTED MEHowever it started, I will be back for more Eddie Drood, Molly, and the rest of the good guys versus bad. Five Bond, Shaman Bond beans.......

      Shaman Bond has returned! or Eddie Drood has returned! Which ever you prefer since they are one in the same but don't tell anyone that. Simon Green the master of word play, intellect, and all around shenanigans, and hootenannies, once again has released a James Bonde esque slash magical urban fantasy. This is not a fast paced book. Unlike the Nightside series, Green tells this story like a British Comedy series with an arc over 10 or 12 episodes. There are a lot of conversations to the side of the action, digresses, rants, raves, weeping, and just crying in the corner curled up in the fetal position. But don't tell anyone about that. The Drood family is up against an Anti-Drood family. They are immortals that never die and can shape shift to look like anyone. They kill a few people in the family, insite a riot to kill a few more friends of the family, and just cause general mayhem around the world. Also we see the Bride of Frankenstein and her new hubby, Tiger Tim, and Doctor Delierm is back again to be pounded on by Eddie. Also Molly Metcalf shows off just how powerful she really is!What I really like about Green's books is he ties all of them together. Molly tells a story about going to see The Sleeping Beauty that Green used in one of his first books Drinking Midnight Wine. Many, many, many comments about the goings on in the Nightside. Also an Angel hand from the Angel - Demon war (book 3). This is not a serious book. Its not serious fantasy. This is an all good fun series that doesn't really matter what happened before. It will be explained to you. If you've read alot of Green novels then you would love this. If this is your first experience go read his other stuff so you get some of the inside jokes that will be more funny knowing his other stuff.
