Snake Eyes A novel of the Demon Accords John Conroe Books
The nice thing about Conroe's books is that the whole story is told. The action, the personalities, the snark, and the tiny details that make these people more than flat comic book characters. The character development is tight and consistent with the series canon; the world building continues to walk the line of plausibility. Conroe's imagination has not only combined magic, physics, and religion; he's also drawn in prehistory and the very building blocks of the planet.At the same time, these books are fun. They're entertaining as hell, and a great diversion from...well, anything that ails you. Thanks, Mr. Conroe, for the New Year's gift.

Snake Eyes A novel of the Demon Accords John Conroe Books Reviews
It was nice to have Chris and Tanya back front and center. However I would have been a little happier if the book head Focus just on them but Delcan also got a lot of time in this one as well. Honestly though I think the author is going to have to do something with Chris as he's starting to look a little bland compared too Delcan, I mean he's supposed to be God's hammer but every time he gets a chance to shine he's outdone by the Wonderboy witch. I think Mr. Conroe either needs to decide to marginalize Chris (a terrible idea IMO) because he seems to be sick of him or bring back his status as biggest badass on the block in a meaningful way, I mean really one guy has to be the biggest baddest dude on the block and that's always been Chris (my favorite BTW) it seems not so much now and he's really not good for much else he certainly not the brains of the operation. It's also time for Chris and Grim to assimilate fully into the same personality. Otherwise it was a great book writing was excellent as usual, editing mistakes were almost non-existent and this continues to be one of my absolute favorite series.
Snake Eyes is a fun addition to the ongoing Demon Accords series, and should not be read as a standalone book. The story is interesting and moves well, challenging the increasingly powerful heroes in new ways. While I enjoyed the return to a world viewed solely through Chris's eyes, I miss Declan's perspective. Chris has become so powerful over the course of the series that Declan, with his human limitations, is more relatable.
What I liked about this book was the more light-hearted tone. Many of the books featuring Chris get downright depressing with the way everyone in authority keeps screwing him over. SPOILER- The death of President Garth looks to change that, and I really hope future stories will include a saner approach to the supernatural from the government.
This book neatly wraps up some storylines and sets up future stories, both in Declan's planned trip to Faerie and in the revelation to the new President that not all gates lead to Hell. It also came across as the seachange novel, where the author is clearly indicating that it is time for the series (and the heroes) to kick it up a notch and face a new and improved set of villains. You know, because demon werewolves aren't much of a challenge.
I avoided this new book for as long as I could. Why? Because I figured it was going to be almost a non-stop read and I had a couple of things I needed to do. I was correct. The couple of times I did put it down, like for food or sleep, it was almost like a siren in its mythical definition, calling me back to it.
Okay, a few things. First, if you're looking for some details from the book, buy the book. It is full of details. Second, I am extremely frustrated - because this one had been out days (or maybe weeks) before I found out and I got it only because I checked on it. There has to be a better way. I am set to follow but I got no info from . And finally, it my "review" you will find my first critical comments in a long time. Okay, now about the book
It came to me a while back that the Demon Accord series ended several books back, probably when Declan came on the scene in his book. After that, it has been different. And get this, it this case different if BETTER! Whatever the author calls it, I do not care as long as he keeps writing in this. So what about this one? Well it definitely closes the door on some things and it almost seems like the series might be preparing for a little lull in the action. Almost. But then you get to the last couple of chapters and you know "that ain't gonna happen!"
In this one we've got more demon/werewolf action plus a bit of action from the "super evil witch." Yeah, that's almost sounds like a double negative doesn't it. And then there's an elemental that I just have to wonder about... I mean was this just a cameo? Or a lead for something down the road? With Conroe, you can never be sure. Whatever, it will be good but some further action would be "interesting."
Action? Lots. Interesting scenario? Oh yeah. A lot to look forward to? Oh yeah, in spades!
One word of caution If you haven't read the previous books (nine, I think) then you should start at the beginning. The author throws in a few historical tidbits to try to help out and you "might" be able to keep up if you read this with no background. That being said, I don't recommend it. But then I've been reading (rabidly) since book one. And yes, I plan to read it a second time. In fact, I might well go back to book one and read my way through the series.
Oh yeah, now for my negative In one chapter, and one chapter only, you almost get a headache as he switches back and forth between present tense and past tense. Virtually all of his writing is in the professionally done past tense but in this one chapter he goes switcheroo. I think I know what he is trying to achieve but, in my opinion, it doesn't work. At all. I know he won't read this but just in case he does - Please don't do that again. And no, it doesn't take away from the book at all.
Oh yeah, my 5-star rating? About that... does not provide enough stars. I don't know the highest I've claimed for a book but this one needs more than that. This is the best of the series. The previous book was almost this good and this one might only be better because he has the full crew involved. Again. Awesome!
This one from John Conroe, opens all sorts of doors to an entire new series featuring all manner and types of tales. The character building continues to be better and better. The bringing back to humanity of the God Hammer is a wonderful set of strokes. The widening of the relationship between Chris, Tania and the rest of the team and re-establishing contact with College Arcane and the Madison Farm adventure from Black Frost is a really excellent touch. This whole thing now has potential to be numerous sets of stories across the whole of the universe. Good on Ya Conroe!!! Heck of a tale in and of itself and well written in bringing to a close the whole thread that began in Rogues. Loved the wrap up of Caeco and Declan. Nicely done! Looking forward to more from you in this storyline. Nice job on the political front as well. Like the sketching of the storyline for Mack and Jenna. Want to read that again already. 'Nuff said, and thanks for the hard work that goes into producing a wonderful story over and over again.
The nice thing about Conroe's books is that the whole story is told. The action, the personalities, the snark, and the tiny details that make these people more than flat comic book characters.
