Learn about the past to understand the present!

First I would like to say if you have not read Nighthawks please go and read that book first. Night Shadows continues right after Nighthawks leaves off and while you follows the Nighthawks as they try to figure out what is next for them and the nation. Amongst all of the exciting fights and tense situations you also get to learn a little bit about how the country ended up in this situation.

I compared the first book to Brilliance and X-men, while these comparisons are still appropriate this book delves more into the why then the first book dared. If you care about characters and backstory this book has a lot more to offer you then the first one did. This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

Wow, what a ride!!!

Night Shadows
Children of Nostradamus, Book 2
By: Jeremy Flagg
Narrated by: Robin J Sitten
This is an Audible book I requested and the review is voluntary.
First, read the books in order. Second, read these books!!! If you like a world were kids are born different, like they have gifts like the X-Men then this might be for you! The world has robots, or synthesis that enforce the curfew, failure to obey the curfew is the death penalty. Anyone with a gift is caught, killed, or worse...yes, worse! It is an exciting read that continues from book one. I can't wait for the next one! Great story! I love each of these kids and the bad characters are super bad!
The narration is excellent! Such emotion! Wonderful voices just as I imagine them to be! Great all the way around!

A unique set of characters in an interesting world

Jeremy Flagg writes an interesting story with a unique set of characters. Not my typical read but I was happy with the characters, world, overall story, and plot. I look forward to the next in the series. Audio Version: This series is the first I have listened to Robin J Sitten and she does a better job with each book so far.

Good sci-fi series

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. The plot line of the book is well thought through. I did enjoy listening to it. I look forward to what the next book has in store.
While I did like the story the reason I gave it 4/5 stars is because it uses the f-word and other cuss word more often then I would like. So I’m leaving this as a language warning for those that are interested.
The narrator does an amazing job at bringing the book to life.

Very Disappointing 2nd Book

There was a Lot of back and forth in in the timeline and a Lot of Fighting. This 2nd book devolved and the Story never reach the potential it could have had. Seemed the author got so caught up in all the twists and turns and the fighting, that he lost sight of keeping the actual story interesting to the reader. Narrator did a good job with the characters voices.

A Great Listen

A tale set in the near future of a modern day witch hunt. The hunted are the Children of Nostradamus. Those people with genetic differences that give super powers and the fear and hatred of those not affected. The battle continues as the children and those casted out by the war world together to get a life that's saner and safer. Along the way answers to mysteries are revealed in this suspenseful tale of a unwanted future. Well worth the listen.

Engaging Read

I really like this series. It's view on the gifted people is interesting. The detailed world building and relatable characters keep the reader engaged throught out. The narrator does a fantastic job bringing the story to life.

Incredible

Creepy, awesome, and exciting, this story is incredible, very original and not just a ya series. Most sci- fi fans will eat this up. Be sure you start with the first book in the series, Nighthawks. I received a free review copy of the audio version of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I should have been there!!!!

I found myself craving to jump into the story, to help out the team. As if the outcomes would have been different if I was there, smh. This book really drew me in, more so than the first. Oh, and now hearing them being referred to as "child" and "children" is rubbing me the wrong way. I can sense the "anger spikes", like I feel in shows, where certain groups are referred to as "pagans". Makes me want to start punching things, lol.

I see there is a 4th and 5th book. So I'll have to dive back in for book 3 soon.

Improvements, all around, with this book.

Getting better- story and narration

This is the second book I’ve read/listened to by this author and second in this series. As mentioned by other reviewers, this is a very X-Men style book- which is great!
It still flips back and forth from events in 1993 and 2033. This helps us gain more insight into the characters. We have the corrupt ‘president’, her nemesis (who is also the enemy of the gifted), and the Nighthawks (group of gifted). All his makes for an interesting conflict in which the Nighthawks, with the help of a dead psychic’s prophecies, are trying to right the wrongs.

This is the second book I’ve listened to by this narrator ( robin j sitten ) and I would listen to another. She has improved from the first book. This is more of a performed book than a read one! Nice job. I found her character voices were more differentiated.

There are no explicit sex scenes, there is violence, but not excessively gory. There is a bit of swearing.
