FORBIDDEN

Narrated by: Jason Markiewitz
Production by: Peter Benedict
Great Characters and Thrilling Mystery!
Perseus is alive and well living as a billionaire and demon hunter. Being given immortality by his father, Zeus, Perseus has spent thousands of years hunting women-slaying demons. When he meets Claire, and the death angel Azriel shows up with an ultimatum, Perseus’ life becomes extremely complicated.
The author, Peter Benedict, connects myth and religious beings with a modern-day love story and murder mystery with political intrigue in a unique and fresh style. His writing is clear, building the characters slowly and with a deliberateness that allows the listener to vividly see the story come to life. The storyline moves at a steady clip with periods of suspense and “feel good” moments. A definite love story with thrills added.
The narrator, Jason Markiewitz gives an accomplished performance with rich and unique voices for each character. Markiewitz speaks clearly and with an engaging style that draws the listener into the story and keeps them there. I find listening to Markiewitz pleasant, engaging, and authentic.
