Publisher's summary

History isn't always what it seems....

With the battle of Egypt behind them, Alec and Cronin are enjoying the thrill of new love. Though fate doesn't wait long before throwing them back into the world of weird.

They know Alec's blood is special, though its true purpose still eludes them. And given Alec's inability to be changed into a vampire, Cronin is free to drink from him at will. But the ramifications of drinking such powerful blood starts a ripple effect.

With the help of Jorge, a disturbing vampire-child with the gift of foresight, Alec and Cronin face a new kind of war. This time their investigations lead them to the borders of China and Mongolia - but it's not what lies in the pits beneath that worries Alec.

It's the creator behind it all.

In the underground depths of China, amid a war with the Terracotta Army, they will find out just what the Key is - and what Alec means to the vampire world.

Joel Leslie does it again!

Any additional comments?

Cronin's Key II picks up right where book 1 left off and is just as exciting and engaging as before. Alec and Cronin continue to grow closer and they make such a great couple! Their scenes together are cute and tender, and their banter (especially Alec's) made me laugh!

Leslie continues to impress me with his ability to use different accents and tones of voice. He is a truly talented actor and I can't praise him enough!! The emotions that he portrays in these characters is just wonderful and really add to the overall experience of listening to this story.

There is a particular part at the end where Cronin growls/yells, "The life of my Ailig is not a game!", and let me tell you...I got chills...well done Leslie! Perfection!

More, please.

The combination of N.R. Walker and Joel Leslie is truly magical. Cronin and Alex draw you in and you never want to leave their world. Add to that the great supporting characters and you get a story to be listened to over and over.

Happy ever after and god like powers

Great ending to a wonderful story. I only have one complaint. (Spoiler). In my opinion giving Alec Every power known to all is kind of a stretch. It was good for a build up. But the conclusion was a bit craze. Would have been better with one power like all vampires. Like his photographic memory. Was going to give it a 5 except the last 30 min. Lost 2 stars. It did have a happy ending. I just think it could have been a little more happy with out all the God like powers.
