Book 4 of bestselling author John Conroe's Demon Accords series. Chris and Tanya have been assigned as Coven Rovers, travelling the country and trouble shooting the supernatural community. It's a job that's part cop and part auditor, one that should be long periods of boredom mixed with small parts of action. But this is Chris and Tanya, so a sudden assignment to check on a rogue vampire leads to a run in with a hostile Master vampire, a hit squad, monsters straight out of Native American folklore, black ops teams and worst of all, vampire politics. Now, more than ever, Chris must control his dark side, as the alternative is death.
Duel Nature The Demon Accords Book 4 eBook John Conroe
Currently, there are another eight book in John Conroe's "Demon Accords" series. Unfortunately, this book, "Duel Nature (The Demon Accords Book 4)", is bad enough that I won't be reading the rest of the series. I had issues with the three earlier books, but the writing was good enough that it overcame them. This book, though: no. First, the book has no real story. It consists of five short missions/activities which have absolutely nothing tying them together or carry-over from one to the next. It almost feels like five short stories. Second, four of those segments have issues:- The first one involves a rogue/lone vampire. The problem is why would a "master" vampire create and immediately abandon such a thing? It's against their power-mongering nature. Yet, this is never explained or touched on.
- The third segment is utterly ridiculous. There's no way some quasi-, semi-, government agency could have tracked the protagonists and set up such a far-fetched plot. It's just flat out stupid. Plus, during this one, they learn that that agency has kidnapped vampires and is "farming" them. Our vampire heroine has no response to that and never thinks of it again.
- The fourth segment (about 10% of the book) is just a long conversation with yet another government agency about the exact same stuff they discussed in the first couple of books with the government. Ugh.
- The fifth segment (30% to 40% of the book) covers vampire politics. It's pretty pointless and goes nowhere.
But, the biggest problem is the ending. Basically, our hero gets in a car and drives off to another mission. The book stops. There's no ending.
Since this is the last of this series I'll be reading, I'll also point out that the name of the series is "The Demon Accords." Yet, none of the books has really had anything to do with those accords. In the first two books, we get an inkling of a demonic plan. We also learn our protagonist is "God's warrior", has a past, angelic history, works with an angel, and that God really got the short end of the stick with that Accord. Since then, nothing. There have been one or two demons in passing, but, otherwise, the very name of the series has been rendered moot. It's all male adolescent vampire fantasy with no maturation or power balancing. So, that's that. I'm rating this book at a Pretty Bad 2 stars out of 5 and won't be reading the rest of the series (which, from what I've seen, doesn't even involve these characters any more).

Duel Nature The Demon Accords Book 4 eBook John Conroe Reviews
I first stumbled onto this series in a slump for books by more well-known, big-name published authors we've all heard of. Jim Butcher, Patricia Briggs, Kim Harrison..they were all busy writing, and had nothing current for me to feast my eyes on. So I turned to the independents out there. The folks who write their hearts out, then just pop their titles into eBook form for the masses to judge and rip apart as they will.
I fell in love with God Touched. The characters grabbed me. The story moved along at a good clip, and I found myself devouring the rest of the books, asking, "Please sir, may I have some more?"
Obligingly, Mr. Conroe ladeled out a bit of frosty garnish to the Demon Accords, and I read that too. Insatiable, I waited while he wrote Duel Nature.
This book is the continued story of Chris and Tanya, and it too moves along at a pleasant trot. We get to see plenty of faces we know along the way, and some new ones as well. There is some repetition, be warned. We fans know what happened in the last three books, but some folks might be new, so we must be patient with the re-cap. He doesn't over-do it, no; but there is re-emphasis of just how seriously Chris can kick a**, and just how dangerous Tanya is with blades. It bears repeating anyway, because they really are just cool characters. )
There are numerous fight scenes, and they are well played. There is some love-struck mushiness, and some protective instinct riled up, all of which are candy for readers like me who gush over the emotional content. There is black ops involvement; and scary ghost-monster-zombies (I actually got a thrill of horror-story fear there); and a wolf-bear-were friend we love to love; and supernatural politicking; and jockeying for power.
There is a suprise twist that had me desperately clicking the ">" button on my kindle looking for more words.
This is a good solid story, with enormous potential for additional creative flow. I enjoyed it every bit as much as those well-known, big-publishing-house authors out there in the genre. I will read it again, and probably again.
A little Bourne, a little Bond, a little Avengers, a pinch of Mercy Thompson, a smattering of Harry Dresden, it comes together into something fresh, and in the end, none of those really covers it. Just read it. It's affordable, and well worth the kindle download. ;)
