Publisher's summary

In a battle between two ancient evils, can one naïve young man become the last hope against powerful creatures of legend? David Dolan thinks he's already got the world figured out. But when a collapsed bridge plunges him into the icy Hudson, he's pulled deep into the deadly realm that exists between life and death. And with his earthly form trapped in a coma, he's vulnerable to the horde of demons hell-bent on his utter destruction.

Traversing the road to the afterlife, David seeks the wisdom and skills he needs to fight the demonic forces reigning havoc on his allies above ground. But as one hellish threat closes in on his defenseless body, David must defeat another terrifying fiend waiting in the shadows to use him...

Can David escape the world beneath the veil in time to stop the bloodshed? Beneath the Veil is the gripping first book in The Valor of Valhalla dark urban fantasy series. If you like reluctant heroes, infernal myths, and bloody epic clashes, then you'll love Martin Kearns's formidable foray into the unknown.

I want more!

It is hard for me to find many books that really captivate me and take me there. This book thoroughly kept me entertained while stimulating further curiosity into ancient theology, satisfying my desire to Wax philosophical, remind me to take notes on literary references and finally encourage me to write a little more myself. I can’t wait for this journey to continue.

Really enjoyed it!!

At first, I was on the fence about this book. The first couple chapters are slower than what I am used to reading. But I realized that I have been reading books that are further in the series than the first of a new series. Taken through that lens, I enjoyed the book a lot more. There's a lot of mythological names and characters used, which I really enjoyed seeing how they get written into the modern world. The romance in here was barely any, which I actually liked a lot. I'm not a big fan of UF romances. Overall, I will read this book again in about a month because it was an enjoyable storyline and experience.

A little confusing

It took a couple of chapters to begin to understand what going on and follow but once you got to a certain point it all started to make sense. The ending was very disappointing.
All in all it was very we’ll narrated and written and I’m glad I was given a chance to read the story.
I received this free from the author or narrator for a honest review.

Otherworldly right in my own backyard.

Holy moly- this guy knows how to create a world!!
From recognizable mythic and historical characters to the delightful guy next door super hero, I was pulled in from the first paragraph.
And the narrator couldn’t be better chosen for all the complex names and places. Wow. When is the next one coming??? Can’t wait!
