Story
The dust had barely settled after my skirmish at Galloway Asylum, and there I was looking forward to some downtime, maybe even a promotion. What I got instead was a covert assignment and an urgent warning from on high: Get out of the city. So I did. And after a quick, or should I say bad, trip down the wrong side of memory lane, I found myself holing up in a sleepy rural town on a strictly cloak and dagger mission: Copperwood Falls, a haunted town where the woods whisper at night, and demons come calling. A place where the shadows are restless, and almost nothing is as it seems.

Story
Kate Rossdale once held all the promise of becoming Baltimore’s greatest sorceress. But a promise is a hard thing to hold when your coven is murdered, your magic is stripped away, and the only solace left to you comes one powdered line at a time. When she’s offered the restoration of her power by a man she doesn’t know or trust, Kate sets in motion the retribution of her enemies. Soon she finds herself racing across the globe, hunting for the magic-thief who robbed her of everything she held dear, including the most dangerous magic any sorceress can possess - hope.

I go by Crowley, no last name. The Fae took that from me when they tore me from my crib and turned me into a creature of blood and shadow. My kidnappers raised me, taught me magic, and made me their Hound. For years I served them, but a cur can only be brought to heel for so long. I've broken my chains by betraying my adoptive mother, the powerful sorceress Fuamnach. Since then, her assassins have been hunting me - but I’ll cut a swathe of destruction through them if it means gaining back a piece of the humanity they stole from me. Vengeance will have to do.

Story
Out of the darkness of the fetid Hudson River, the undead rose to eat their victims alive.... Horror-movie monsters burst from late-night TV screens - to turn their viewers into victims. Biker gangs of decomposing corpses rode the highways of America, on the hunt for unsuspecting motorists.... Take a front seat in the baddest nightmare in town. Superstar Izzy Stark has the power to make your dreams - and nightmares - come true. He's the master of disaster, the guru of gore, the doctor of doom, the duke of death and destruction - and you can't escape this command performance.
Summary
Unleashed magic. Secret pasts. Hidden worlds. Welcome to the Dark City.
My name's Morgan Rook, supernatural detective, undercover agent, odd jobs man. Call it whatever you like.
I take out the nightmares, demons, and werewolves. The things that lurk in the shadows around you. Guys like us call them Nightkind.
And here I was, set to quit this dark life and retire to sunnier climes, except for one final job. There's always one. This time a call to eliminate a cruel, rogue vampire, named Mr. Tudor. Simple, right?
Sure. Until the bodies started piling up in a new wave of vicious occult killings leading scarily close to my own front door, sparking a series of deadly events that would make my years of fighting the Nightkind look like a cakewalk.
Add high-octane chases across the city, a game of shadows, and undead assassins all topped off by a trip into the terrifying world between worlds - the last place you'd ever want to find yourself.
And the clues...they're all adding up to something...something big...and they're right in the palm of my hand.
The missing piece of the puzzle? How in the hell I fit into all of this....

Come for the Memorable characters.
I enjoyed Dark City, between the solid world-building and characters I never felt like I "left" the story and in fact listened to the whole book straight through because of that.
My only criticism was that, it was a lot, there was a lot of effort to thrust the main character against or alongside just about every Supernatural you can shake a stick at while too quickly uncovering enough backstory to make the reader feel like the main character is powerful-special.
That diluted the mix a bit for me but as the first book in the series I understand that is an important reason to stand out and get a reader reading the second book, personally though my reason is actually the character Dopple who as he was introduced I couldn't get an image of anyone but Peter Lorre out of my head. Such a strange and wonderful side character who I hope to learn more about as I work my way though the series.
Also the fantastic narrator, this was my 4th(?) Shawn Compton narration and I enjoyed the total tone change immensely, quite bespoke for the PI genre.

Urban fantasy with a supernatural PI
At times it almost seems like there's practically a template for some urban fantasy characters and this book checks off a lot of items on such a list, you have the somewhat downtrodden, snarky main hero with supernatural powers, nominally in the role of a private detective, add in the mysterious or unknown past and the author could end up with a very familiar book if they didn't handle these elements well enough.
Luckily, the author takes these familiar themes and adds more than enough to the main character and a varied supporting cast to comfortably move beyond the familiar, producing a strong and entertaining story with interesting world-building for any subsequent instalments in this series.
On the whole the narrator does a good job with this book, but could have perhaps injected a bit more life into their delivery to further enhance the characters.
Overall, a strong first book in this series and I will be interested to see how it progresses.

A great story.
I was given a free copy of this book and I'm leaving an honest and voluntary review.
I gotta say I really enjoyed this book, the main character is very likeable. As a supernatural detective serise makes this quite unique, I'll not say anything about it as I'd not want to give anything away.
The narration is brilliant, reminds me of an old fashioned, black and white PI serise, where the PI has his thought narrated aloud. Brilliant!.
So all in all a decent book is I'd happily recommend this to anyone.

Rook shows Dresden how to magic
I used to be an Urban Fantasy snob. I had only read a few other UF books, basically all of the Dresden Files, and a few other books. Then I fell into a host of other books and found interesting characters like Nate Temple, Roy Morgan, Sandman Slim, and Montague and Strong. Now, I can add Morgan Rook to that list!! He pretty much out Dresdens Dresden. An exteremely intreresting guy, I could read about him all day long.
The book is a an absolute whirlwind. There is a mystery, but the action really takes center stage, and we get to see punches, swords, guns, and magic all being employed to bring down whomever Mr. Rook is combating. The story sucks you in immediately, and you won't want to put it down. In fact, you won't even realize how far in you are until you are almost done. This is a character driven story, as much of the plot consists of go there and kill that (not saying that's bad, but it is the character of Rook that will keep you reading).
Compton is excellent as Rook, too. He enlivens the character, and I think in few books he will BE Morgan Rook in the same way that James Marsters is Harry Dresden. The man can undoubtedly tell a story, and his tension adds to the pell-mell pace. Just amazing work all around. Even though I did receive a promo code for this review it in no way influenced my considerations of the material, and in fact, inspired me to be more honest. In fact, getting a code generally makes me harsher as a reviewer as I am more often concerned what someone like Me will decide based on my review.
I can see this being a long lived series that has a fan base that just grows and grows. It is fun, exciting, has a killer main character, and is packed full of so much action the words almost burn off the page.
If you love urban fantasy, great fight scenes, a magic weilding mofo of a detective, and superb villains then this is the book, and therefore, series for you. Get it now.

MIxed feelings
I want to say I liked, or even disliked, this book. The truth is, I don't know. I Iistened from start to finish but I did so because I loooooooved the narrator.
Shawn Compton is the audio equivalent of Brad Pitt. Everything about him just made me want to keep listening. So I did. It really didn't matter what he said.
Was this a good book? Probably. It dealt with, something. The organization? Vampires? I forget. But man, oh man, was the narration excellent.

Dark City
The Order of Shadows, Book 1
By: Kit Hallows
Narrated by: Shawn Compton
This is an audible book I requested and the review is voluntary.
I thought this book was great. I loved the magic, the creatures, the action, suspense, characters, plot, and twists. It was never dull and I kept me interested. It kept me guessing and eager to figure things out. I definitely want to read or listen to the next book.
The narrator's voice was clear and kept the book flowing well. The emotions and moods were performed perfectly. Great job!

A Nice Surprise
It seems like if you are an author of urban fantasy that features a wizard, there must be snarky humor, magical creatures and of course, magic battles. With that said, sometimes things can get a bit run-of-the-mill with all the choices out there. “Dark City” has its issues, but it is definitely a cut above run-of-the-mill.
The plot of "Dark City" is pretty simple. Morgan Rook is a supernatural detective who works for a mysterious organization that uses him like a mob enforcer. His basic job is to put down other supernatural beings who have crossed the line. Morgan's friend is killed and he is determined to find the one responsible.
Author, Kit Hallows, made Morgan Rook wildly powerful, but Morgan somehow, didn't get that memo. He takes a few beatings, here and there, but ultimately, he never seems to lose because he is just that powerful. This makes for a lack of drama and suspense sometimes. As the reader/listener, we pretty much know what the outcome of a conflict will be before it gets started. It will be interesting to see how the author deals with this in future novels. That aside, "Dark City" is not a perfect book by any means, but it's still a pretty good story and worth your time if you like the genre. I will definitely give book 2 a try. Also, the narrator, Shawn Compton did an excellent job. His male character interpretations are on point. His female voices, while not quite as strong, are more than adequate. I would have no objections to listening to Mr. Compton's voice over multiple novels.
Finally, this free, review copy audiobook was given to me at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.

Morgan Rook is the MAN !
Any additional comments?
The main character, Morgan Rook, is a real bad a$$... a la Harry Dresden. The book starts out fast with big fight scenes and the action continues throughout the book. A really fun read. I think Morgan could have been developed a little earlier in the book... he is pulling out these awesome powers in fights but we don't have any reference for them so I felt a little lost early on. The author does develop him as the book goes on and after finishing I realized some of that delay was probably by design. The author wordsmiths very well. I really enjoyed the writing style.The narrator was pretty good. Not awesome, but not bad either.Overall I recommend the book if you like this type of urban fantasy genre.I received this title for free in exchange for an unbiased review.

Lots of action, weapons and supernatural creatures
The only improvement I recommend for Dark City is that it be longer! Morgan Rook, our supernatural detective, is himself still uncovering details of his parentage and early life in this first book, so I'm looking to future installments to provide more insight into Rook's character, taking us readers on a journey of discovery alongside his character. Lots of action, weaponry, and paranormal creatures kept me interested and curious about what strange thing would happen next. I'm sure the series will be great judging by how good this first book was!
Shawn Compton gives a fantastic narrative performance with plenty of energy and enthusiasm in each character he portrayed. Looking forward to the next book in the series!

I will get the killer.
This was a great urban fantasy. I love Morgan he was determined to get to the bottom of the murder of his friend, Tom and other like him. He has to battle evil and use dark magic himself to battle some of his foes. I look forward to the next book and to learning more about Morgan and where he came from. I received this book as a gift in exchange for an honest review.
