United States9 years ago - Awesome!
It's a short listen, a novella in print terms, but it won't FEEL short. From the moment Hutchins starts speaking, you're hooked for the rest of the ride.
First off, the quality of this is good. So many times I try out a chapter of an audiobook I really WANT to love, but the author is just reading his words, not actually telling us a story. Not so with JCH.
He's not as good as Sigler in terms of terror-but he's right up there with the best. I love how our protagonist has a dark past, a terrib... more

United Kingdom14 years ago - This was so wonderful -I bought Dark Art (book)
While I miss the reading of the story by the author. Reading Dark Art has been so rewarding...you are a great writer. Thanks for taking me on this fictional journey.
Apple Podcasts5SylEliUnited States15 years ago - J.C. Hutchins has done it again!
This is Totally captivating and did for me exactly what it was meant to do which is go buy the sequel "Personal Effects: Dark Art" at the book store. This is one of J.C.'s best, and that's saying a lot because I really, really liked his 7th Son series. The characters are craftfully developed in such a way that makes you feel like they are familiar to you. I love the main character, Zach and the granddaughter of the old bat in the Psychiatric hospital. You might even find yourself with a soft spo... more
Apple Podcasts5Happy HousewifeUnited States15 years ago - AWESOME!!
Thank GOD J. C. Hutchens has come out with a new story! This one is amazing just like all of the rest. I am so impressed with his style of writing and love the stories that you can get lost in! If this is the first J.C. Hutchens story for you, you must go back and listen to the rest. It will be well worth your time
Apple Podcasts5ck1loveUnited States15 years ago - Great story, annoying characters...
I love Hutchins- his work is excellent. This story is no exception to that- the plot is wonderful. I only had two problems with it. First, I didn't think that there was enough evidence in this for Rachel to suggest that Spindle may have stolen the blood sword- it just seemed to come out of nowhere & didn't seem like an organic suggestion- it seemed forced. The other complaint is that the characters themselves were a little obnoxious & pretentious. Every podcast they kept dropping little pop cult... more

Apple Podcasts5CroakergirlUnited Kingdom16 years ago - Spine Tingling Story
JC has the perfect voice for podcasting this story. The emotion in his voice and they way he portrays the characters in the story is amazing. The story starts out tamely enough, albeit very interestingly, so much though that you hate for each chapter to end. The suspense builds throughout each chapter as you get to know and care about each character a little better. This story has an excellent beginnning, middle, and ending and each reader will be fully satisfied at it's end. Perfect Prequel to ... more

No words will do it justice.

Denmark16 years ago - Here is how I found JC Hutchins!
Browseing through iTunes audiobook section, I saw a wicked looking book cover with a triangle inside a human eyeball. OK, what's THIS about. It's Scott Sigler's "Infected". Excelent book, move on to do all of Sigler's stuff. Sigler keeps talking about Hutchins, so okay let's see what this 7th Son thing is all about. Took me a chapter or two to catch on but after that, Wow! Now, I keep heating about this book and the other he's publishing. I will be buying that book. I'm amazed that stories of th... more
Apple Podcasts5efarleyUnited States16 years ago - sword of blood
this was my first downloaded podcast and my favorite! i'm just not sure when more episodes will be available. hope they arrive soon!
Apple Podcasts5mjfrinkUnited States16 years ago - Excellent story, no update in quite a while
JC is doing awesome with this BUT he said there would be update (new chapter) in about a week. That was over a month and half ago :( I really really despise writing bad reviews but this is starting to be really common. The Leviathan chronicles, The Byron Chronicles, and now JC, I could name more but you get the point. What I don't want to see is this turned into something that just falls off like the Byron chrons did. Kick it into gear JC
