About this listen
The world’s defenses are failing. Can a man ripped apart fighting his inner demons now avert Armageddon?
Michael Dahl is broken.
After sacrificing his magic, his health, and his lover to exorcise a demon spy, the nineteen-year-old agent is devastated to learn that the people he sought to protect see him as a conspiracy theorist and an embarrassment. But when he is shunted away to a meaningless research post, Dahl uncovers a disturbing revelation: his victory over the demon was not the end, but a portent of the impending apocalypse.
Putting every shred of his dignity on the line, Dahl hopes to rekindle a flame between himself and an ex-lover who can foretell destiny. But when he finds the man living as a homeless addict on the edge of sanity, Dahl fears he has ruined both the world’s best chance of salvation and any possible shared future.
With millions of lives and a second chance at love hanging in the balance, can Dahl claw his way back from rock bottom to stop the end times, for both the world and his heart?
Suicide Kings is the third book in Words of Power, an engrossing dark urban fantasy quartet. Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets the Umbrella Academy with a morally gray ensemble cast full of found family, wild brawls, and spicy m/f and m/m love stories.

Once, there were four worlds, nestled like pages in a book, each pulsing with fantastical power and connected by a single city: London. Until the magic grew too fast and forced the worlds to seal the doors between them in a desperate gamble to protect their own. The few magicians who could still open the doors grew more rare as time passed and now, only three Antari are known in recent memory—Kell Maresh of Red London, Delilah Bard of Grey London, and Holland Vosijk, of White London.

It has been 20 years since the end of the war. The dictatorial Augurs, once thought of almost as gods, were overthrown and wiped out during the conflict, their much-feared powers mysteriously failing them. Those who had ruled under them, men and women with a lesser ability known as the Gift, avoided the Augurs' fate only by submitting themselves to the rebellion's Four Tenets.

In the year 2047, Lochlan takes the bus to his soul-sucking job answering phones to remain unnoticed. Life is easier that way. Little attachment. Few friends. That means less people caught in the crossfire when he loses control again. The last time he came close to losing it was when he was around Zemila. That was five years ago, just before he disappeared. That was why he disappeared. He’s good at that. Disappearing. Resettling. Being overlooked.

great story
It was a great story, but a little too much intimate detail of two guys relationship. I mean a lot of detail. I'm a live and let live kind of person. I don't care what makes you happy. I just really don't care to hear EVERY detail. I pretty much feel that way about heterosexual relationships as well. If I wanted to hear porn I wouldn't be listening to audible. But great story, really. :)

Homosexual theme throughout.
I thought the graphic portrayal of gay sex was too much. If it would have had a short passage about it I wouldn’t have an issue. But it seemed like a reoccurring theme throughout the book. Maybe a little disclosure of its theme would have been helpful.

OMG you have to listen to this book.
Hold on to your butts, because the world is about to get a whole lot bigger. This book is the third in the series and doesn't just build on the same formula. Rather than gloss over things, Suicide Kings really delves into the messy aftermath of that which has come before. The characters continue to grow, to change, to evolve, and the interplay between them continues to be one of the shining gems of the series. A newer treat is the expanded nature of the setting and lore. We start learning details about things that have been hinted at since the very beginning. Loved this one, and can't wait to read the next one. Also kudos to the narrator. She does an amazing job of delivering the lines and making the characters unique and distinct.

Major character/ world development - more spice
Plot lines and relationships set up in the first two books begin to domino rapidly becoming intertwined, deeper, creepier, and more spicy as the magical apocalyptic threat continues to build. narrator continues to knock this out of a park with a absolutely stellar performance including tons of dialogue and action with a large cast.

If you enjoy gay romance...
Chelsea Stephens did a very good job reading this, I recommend her for her character control.
The story started out (in the first book) very interesting and with an interesting premise. In the second book it started into a gay romance tale. I'm not sure if that is what she had originally planned or if some WOKE friend or editor suggested to make it fill in with current political feelings.
By this book we had a full blown gay romance which took the book on another course. I had a hard time finishing and set it aside, but came back to reread to make sure that my assumptions were correct.
