Reagan Moon didn't plan on being an earth guardian. He was your average paranormal reporter...until 1,000 volts of raw electricity fused an ancient relic into his sternum. It left him with Powers and lets him do things most humans can't. There are others like him, seven of them to be exact. They call themselves the Imperia and are charged with keeping Earth from going down the toilet. This usually involves fighting monsters, tweaking the laws of physics, and keeping lots of booze and bandages on hand. But when Saint Death comes knocking, no amount of holy water and hand grenades can slow her roll.
She's the queenpin of the Santa Muerte pantheon. The folk religion's central deity often appeared as a Virgin or a bride. Some called her the Grim Reapress. But mostly she was known as Saint Death. Now she's got a companion. With the help of the Summu Nura, a Neuro priestess has rediscovered the Grimoire of Azrael, the Archangel of Death. And the Tenth Plague is about to be unleashed upon Los Angeles. Apparently, only Moon and his weathered compatriots can prevent the angel's arrival. Yet earth guardians aren't indestructible...as Saint Death is about to prove. Myth and history collide in the second installment of what Publishers Weekly called "one of the best indie novels of 2015."
Saint Death A Reagan Moon Novel Book 2 (Audible Audio Edition) Randy Streu Mike Duran Books
I enjoyed the first Reagan Moon novel, The Ghost Box. One of the best parts about this sequel is that the character isn't static. As he commits to the path before him, his life is changed in major ways. But not just his life -- his very existence is changing. I don't want to give away too much, but I do enjoy a story that doesn't feel like "just another episode". I get the feeling from this installment that the Reagan Moon series isn't patterned after some detective noir where the detective just solves problem after problem and is the same at the end as he was at the beginning.As mentioned by other reviewers, this book has some "superhero team" elements to it that are predictably enjoyable (though there's definitely a twist to the team's powers and how it affects them to wield them). I also enjoy the relationship thread with Kanya, and find it rewarding without going so far as to be "romance".
If you like monsters, this book has a cool one (and several creepy henchmen). The descriptions of Azrael were so vivid, I could see her moving in my mind's eye like a movie. I didn't find the horror or violence overdone. Through Reagan's eyes, things are both matter-of-fact and touched with wonder more than fear. Well, sure, he experiences bone-deep terror, but his chutzpah somehow takes the fear and turns it to, "Let's do this thing!" Anyway, a great ride!

Saint Death A Reagan Moon Novel Book 2 (Audible Audio Edition) Randy Streu Mike Duran Books Reviews
I really liked this book-well conceived and written. I liked that the author didn't use cliche monsters or heroes and intertwined religion and philosophy in his work. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was that I would've liked a bit more character development and backstory. Overall a very good book and I will probably read more from this author. Keep up the good work!
I don't normally like 1st person POV, but Mike Duran's Regan Moon has a fun quirky attitude that makes this an interesting read. Fast action, a good plot, and interesting character drew me along. I look forward to reading more Regan Moon books.
Mike Duran's continuation of Reagan Moon's adventures is a satisfying read. It's a page turner that strikes a deft balance between creepiness and humor. Saint Death (and it's predecessor, The Ghost Box) builds a cast of characters that will pull you in and have you rooting for them as they tackle great evil, despite whatever it may cost them personally.
Although difficult to understand at times (part and parcel of the author's imagined universe), the action is unrelenting, the characters unforgettable, and the plot incomparable to other recent opera in the fantasy genre. Hopefully this isn't the last we'll see of Reagan Moon and the Imperia.
I loved Reagan Moon, the main character! He gets into battles with angels and demons and I'm never sure if he'll rise to be the hero he needs to be - which is part of what keeps me reading! The other part that keeps me turning pages is Duran's writing - "hellacious haiku" is a small example! Hope I quoted that correctly - I can't go back and check my highlights!
Saint Death is a worthy sequel to The Ghost Box. It brings in more characters with a variety of unique abilities and viewpoints that really help to enrich the story line. Often times the story deals with some pretty dark evil, but one never feels that it goes overboard as the themes of good vs. evil are merely enhanced by these portrayals. I would recommend this book as a stand alone book, but I do think its overall impact would be bolstered by reading The Ghost Box first.
This book picks up right where "The Ghost Box" left off, so read that one first. It's grittier than the original, and deeper into the supernatural, but never without the trademark Mike Duran witty dialogue and self-talk for very long. I would have liked slightly longer descriptions of the new characters, but there was a lot of plot to put into few pages. (And again with the "Whoa, didn't see THAT coming!) I love that even the heaviest subjects are never taken too seriously, as if the author is reminding us "Lighten up, people; it's a novel!" At the same time, I learned a few things along the way, and I have takeaways to ponder. Mostly, though, this was a really enjoyable read, and a great second book in the series.
