A Touch of Brimstone

Magic of the Damned, Book 1

De: McKenzie Hunter

Narrado por: Amelia Hugh

They say you should never make a deal with the devil, but what about with the Prince of the Underworld?

Fresh off a breakup and an eviction, I started my day like any other: a book in one hand, a coffee in the other, and faking that can-do attitude inspirational memes are made of. I was ready to take on the world — and I did. Unfortunately, it was the Underworld.

One freak accident later, I’m standing face-to-face with the sexy-as-sin and dangerously powerful Prince of the Underworld. He has a few burning questions for me — like how a mere human unlocked the door to the Underworld’s prison and released its prisoners.

I’d sure as hell like to know, too, because I have no freaking clue.

Now, instead of a forgettable bookstore clerk, I’m newly famous for doing the impossible. The wrong people want to thank me, and the rest want me dead. Spoiler alert: The Dark Prince definitely doesn’t want to thank me.

I’ll do anything to get my life back to normal and he’ll do anything to recapture the escapees. We make a deal: He’ll keep my enemies at bay, and I’ll find a way to return the prisoners.

What could possibly go wrong?

Boring 😴

i listened to lost of this book except for the last five minutes and i dont ever care to finish because the book was boring and did not hold my attention at all.

Compelling

Another fantastic book by the talented McKenzie Hunter! It will leave you enthralled and captivated. I couldn't put it down! I willingly lost sleep so I could keep listening! It was both humorous and deep. I cannot wait until the next book!!

Good intro

Nice introduction. I definitely have so many questions, and I very much look forward to getting answers in the next installment. Totally enjoyed quirky, ballsy Luna. She sticks to her guns no matter the threat or temptation.

So Good!

I love the worlds that McKenzie Hunter creates and this is no exception. Luna is your everyday person doing what I consider to be a dream job of working in a book store. She has no idea what is in store for her when she begins reading a book on the supernatural. I love how she was completely unaware of the supernatural world around her. I also love how accepting she is of that supernatural world and how she wants to help despite the craziness of it. The narrator does an amazing job of bringing this world to life and I love that about her. I can't wait to see what happens next.

Great book!

It was a great book! I enjoyed all the characters in the storyline and would recommend it to friends.

Good story

I really wanted to just love this story but it was hard to get through. The spice is light but very well done. The story line was great. I think the prose just had too much description which bogged down the pacing and lowered the tension making it easy to put down.

Amazing start

I almost forgot how much I love this author. as I first started the book it did start off a little slow but then right away it picked up and I remembered how good Mckenzie Hunter writes characters.
I love that throughout the book we still really don't know why our "Little Luna" was chosen to be used to free the prisoners or as part of any other schemes. I highly recommend reading but I need to finish this review so I can start the next book

An unexpected treat

Luna is has become one of my favorites. She is brilliant, resourceful and sassy. I found myself laughing out loud. It was a mix of mystery, humor, and a bit of romance. I loved how things unraveled and I am looking forward to the next book.

Stick through the info dump

While the narrator’s pace and tone took about ½ the book to get used to the writing itself took about the same. Lots of monotonous details and info dumping shows less skilled world building than I would have expected. Now having said that the last ½ of the book starts to reveal a story and a FMC that I will continue to read.
Happy Reading

Great story, great reader

Love this! Its not a “lets jump your bones, two days later I love you” type book. Its all about the adventure! Finally a main female character uses her mind. Love it!
