For five years, Elise Kavanagh and James Faulkner have policed relations between Heaven, Hell, and Earth with blood and blade. They're notorious as heroes and killers--the greatest demon hunting team to live. And they're getting tired of fighting. But now a Goddess of Death is driving the world toward destruction. When her doomsday clock reaches twelve, the barriers between Hell and Earth will be ripped away and bring xenocide upon humanity. Defeating her would require the most brutal battle yet. The clock just struck nine. The world is running out of time. --- DEATH'S AVATAR is a prequel to DEATH'S HAND -- a satisfying bite of dark urban fantasy at 15,000 words (or 50 pages). You don't need to read DEATH'S HAND to enjoy this story, or vice versa, although you'll enjoy the recurring characters and enriched universe if you do. The chronological order of The Descent Series is: DEATH'S AVATAR DEATH'S HAND (available now!) THE DARKEST GATE (spring 2012) DAMNATION MARKED (fall 2012)… (más)

This is the first book I’ve read of the series and having known nothing about the world or the characters it was a bit confusing at times. I felt that this novelette was rather rushed and found out at the end it was written in a week. Yes I understand that it is only 79 pages but it was so fast paced at times that I was dizzy with confusion. There were also stories that I hope get flushed out in the series. One thing I hope gets more explained is the relationship between Elise and James. I enjoyed reading James’s back story but was rather confused by this sudden romance between the two characters.

The plot and idea for the story were great and I think a nice introduction to the series itself. I do intend to keep reading. But the writing style kept me from truly loving this story. It felt rushed and a bit lacking at times. As another reviewer stated on Amazon, this would probably make a much better graphic novel. Overall it was a nice sneak peek into the series.

My Rating: ★★★ ( )

Elise Kavanagh is a Kopis, a kind of police/hunter between the normal world and the demons who want to harm it. James Faulkner is a Aspis, a witch that aids and is usually bound to a Kopis. Together they fight demons.

I wish I had read this book before I had read the other two books. In this book you get a much better feeling for who the characters are and why they are doing what they do. In this novella they are trying to stop the demon (Goddess?) who calls herself "The Kiss Of Death". Who by use of a clock, found in a temple in Central America, that belonged to a cult that used human sacrifices,to open the gates of Hell.

When I read and reviewed the book (Death's Hand) listed as book one of the series, one of the things I lowered the rating because of was that I wished the author had filled out the characters more. If I had read this first, I would not have had that problem and might have even rated the book higher than I did. So my advise to readers if they decide to start this series, which I have enjoyed so far to read the books in the following order:
1) Death's Avatar
2) Death's Hand
3) The Darkest Gate ( )

Per the author's website: "Folks who have been reading my books for a while will remember that there used to be another novella in The Descent Series called “Death’s Avatar.” It’s no longer available as a standalone book—it’s been rolled into the story of Death’s Hand, just like how Elise’s history with Mr. Black is integrated into the story of The Darkest Gate. If you’ve downloaded Death’s Hand after December 17th, 2012, you have the new edition that includes Death’s Avatar. :)"
