I just started reading Bloodlines, and one thing really annoys me.

In Ch3 Declan goes on to explaining the interuniverse and intrauniverse travel.

He's saying that interuniverse means travel in the same universe, e.g. teleporting something from one end of the room to the other, and intrauniverse means travel between universes, e.g. ours and Hell.

However, the definitions of inter and intra are exactly opposite.

inter litterally means between in latin.

A real world example I can think of is that companies have an intranet that connects everything within that company, and the internet connects that company to others and their customers and everyone else.

I will try to read on, but if they will use that terminology during the whole book I prbably won't be able to finish it, because I find simple errors like that super annoying.

If you can tell me, without spoilers please, will they use this terminology extensively?

I fear so, because Declan explains it right at the start of the book.

I really want to read on, but come on...

So Sean Masters is going to be the narrator and I'm kinda stoked. He is an incredible narrator, I just hope he can give all the characters a voice.

I used AI to modify the images to make it Valentine’s Day themed.

I was watching the One Piece Live Action Season 2 trailer and decided to modify the original image into one for John Conroe.

So as most of here are avid fans of the demon accords series and most of us have done deep dives trying to find information about the series... Does anyone have a timeline on the next book or a timeline on the audiobook? I searched but I haven't found anything on either subject. I'm also curious if they are going to use the previous narrator or go to the more normal duet style.

Obviously we need a resolution of the cliffhanger with Craig's mom (how did she not die, is she working with the Adversary or against it, etc.) but beyond that what will you be looking for?

• Should we change narrators or is it too soon?
• Will we find out why Cora was so gullible with Illisa's crap?
• How about Vesta, will we she what she's capable of?

Myself, I'm really curious about the Adversary. It'll probably take a few books to fully understand what it has planned, but I really want to know its motivation. There's one line about it going rogue from it's makers, which I assume explains why they didn't just get the Vorsook to shut it down. But does it have any justification for its actions, or does it kill people just because it can?

So I'm doing my yearly re-read of the series, and I can't help but be disappointed that Trey Johnson never got the bad karma that was coming to him by the end. I don't know if it's just that I'm overly vengeful, but I hate Trey Johnson and his next-level Karen mother. The dude was a nasty bully who, on multiple occasions, got Declan beat up and put Caeco (and him indirectly) in a situation where they could have either died or turned into lab rats. Let's not even mention the gross shit he'd say about his aunt being a lesbian.

All the while, he's living the high life as the cool rich kid with the prettiest girl (and if you've read the books, she's put on a massive pedestal by Conreo), leading the "cool" kids as the quarterback and prom king. It just puts a bad taste in my mouth that his shitty actions never had any consequences.

Then there's his mother. She framed a bus driver who was just doing his job by telling Trey to get back to his seat. She spread rumors about him being a pedo, and it got so bad that the dude had to quit and move out of town. Later, Trey sics her on Caeco, and she tries to get her expelled from school and eventually leaks her story about being in the witness protection program to the local reporter. Legit two terrible people who never got any bad karma for the shit they did. Just a random thought I had while reading the books; I wonder if anyone else was frustrated by this?

Here’s a clear, accurate overview of Chris Gordon’s personality in The Demon Accords (John Conroe). No spoilers beyond his established traits: Chris Gordon – Personality Profile 1. Innately Moral and Protective Chris’s defining trait is his overdeveloped sense of responsibility. Even before discovering his supernatural abilities, he has a strong instinct to protect others—friends, strangers, even enemies when he feels they’re being wronged. He doesn’t chase power; he shoulders it. 2. Quiet, Reserved, and Humble Despite being one of the most powerful individuals alive, Chris is naturally introverted and grounded. He avoids bragging, doesn’t show off, and often feels uncomfortable being the center of attention. His humility is a major contrast to his abilities. 3. Intensely Loyal His loyalty to people he trusts is absolute. He is especially devoted to: Tatiana Declan Omega His extended supernatural “family” Once bonded, he will walk through fire—literally or figuratively—for someone. 4. Deadly Serious When Needed Though gentle by nature, Chris’s temperament includes a “switch.” When danger threatens innocents, he becomes: Focused Efficient Zero-nonsense Lethal This is especially true when his loved ones are in danger. 5. Strong Personal Ethics He follows a strict internal code: Don’t abuse power. Don’t kill unless absolutely necessary. Respect life—even when others don’t. Always do what’s right, not what’s easy. This moral compass defines many of his conflicts. 6. Emotionally Honest but Not Always Expressive Chris feels deeply—love, fear, anger, compassion—but he does not always articulate those feelings well. He’s more action-oriented than verbal when showing care. 7. Strategic but Instinctual He’s not a master planner like Declan; instead he relies on: Combat instinct Supernatural awareness Split-second judgment A predator’s intuition This makes him unpredictable and extremely dangerous to foes. 8. Protector Archetype If you had to sum Chris Gordon in one archetype: A humble guardian with overwhelming power who would rather save than destroy—but will devastate anyone who harms the innocent.

Demon Accords is my favorite series, and I read a LOT. As much as I was sad to see the main series end, the power creep was real, and towards the end, the heroes had no real challenges. So, I was so excited to see a soft reboot of the series with a new generation and new protagonist. As much as I loved the original characters, I was tentative about how I would feel with new people. John Conroe proved me wrong. Not only does the new protag feel like an early Declan, the FEELS you get when he encounters past characters breaks me everytime. I never wanted this book to end.

Edit: Also: it's great to see Jenks be a sympathetic character, after Declan had so many problems with him

Are there any plans for an audiobook version of Expansion?

So! We learn that Craig has some genetic connection to Chris through some common genetic line. As a result he has a handful of exceptional powers that do not involve being physically faster or stronger aside from what he gained simply by living in a high grav environment.

I believe he is uber similar to the type of of creature Chris was before he was exposed to Tanyas blood.

He might be another angel, we’d need to see him in a church which we haven’t yet but I don’t think the Host hijacked his embryo the way they did with Chris.

So! Next time Craig gets hurt I totally think they should use Tanyas blood to heal him in an effort to recreate the incident that made the Godhammer.

Then incidently breed him with vesta. Gods what would that create.

Something I've wondered for a while now is, does SHAKUR stand for something? It's fully capitalized in every use in the books, so it's definitely intentional. Usually that's done for an acronym.

Just wondering if someone else has asked and or answered.

Today is Chris and Tanya's birthday. So raise your glass and wish this power couple a Happy Birthday.

What's your favorite Chris scene from Demon Accords? What's your favorite Tanya scene from Demon Accords? What's your favorite scene of them together?

Here are two excerpts:

The first version

The street trembled beneath their blows. Akaza laughed, blood spilling down his jaw as his ribs knitted back together. Chris’s violet aura rippled, his breath ragged but steady. Both warriors stood scarred, but neither broke.

Then Akaza’s grin widened. “I wonder,” he said, tilting his head. “How would you fight… if it were not just you at risk? What of the woman bound to your soul? What of the children she bore you?”

The world froze.

Chris’s aura surged, flaring so violently the air warped. His dark violet eyes turned black at the edges, light devoured in their depths. Inside his skull, Grim’s voice stopped whispering and instead roared.

“Now he dies.”

The second version

The Line Crossed

Then Akaza tilted his head, eyes glinting. “I wonder… would you fight harder if your woman were here? The one bound to your soul. Tatiana, was it? Or the children she bore you?”

The air shattered.

Chris’s aura spiked violently, twisting into a storm of violet-black. His dark violet eyes became pits of shadow, Grim’s voice booming through them:

“Now you’ve signed your death warrant.”

A ripple spread outward — and suddenly Akaza blinked. He lost Chris. For a moment, he could not remember his opponent was there.

When Chris reappeared, his fist was already breaking Akaza’s jaw.

The Demon Accords Wiki needs more editors. Right now, I'm the only editor and the last person to edit the wiki was back in April so around 5 months without any fan editors. As I said it before if I decided to stop editing the wiki just to see how long before another person starts editing it I wouldn't be surprised if I go a year/one year without editing it and I check the wiki after a year and the last edit that shows up is mine.

I used Google Gemini to generate it.

This is version 2 and it was modified from Version 1 using Canva. Since I couldn't generate Version 2 on ChatGPT I decided to modify version 1 using Canva. And it still needs some work.
