City of Gods and Monsters

House of Devils, Book 1

De: Kayla Edwards

Narrado por: Wen Ross, Zura Johnson

Welcome to the city of Angelthene. We hope you survive.

Loren Calla has only ever been ordinary. As a human struggling to survive in a city that caters to the needs of vampires, werewolves, witches, and other supernatural creatures, she always assumed her life would remain simple, predictable, and as safe as her world would allow.

Until she barely escapes abduction at the hands of Darkslayers—supernatural bounty hunters that possess the Sight, a magical tracking ability that allows them to see a person's aura—and one of her friends is taken in her place. The abductors are demanding a ransom: Loren's life in exchange for her friend's safe return. Loren will do whatever it takes to get her friend back—even if it means accepting help from Darien Cassel, the leader of the Seven Devils, the most feared Darkslaying circle in the city.

Darien specializes in tracking down demons and criminals that are better off dead than alive, so when he takes a job to track down Loren and finds out she is human—and couldn't hurt a fly if her life depended on it—he decides to protect her instead of turn her in for a reward. As much as Loren doesn't want to admit it, Darien is her best and only chance at finding her friend alive, if she can somehow manage to get along with him—and not fall head-over-heels in love with him in the process, which is far easier said than done.

When more women start disappearing, and some of them slowly turn up dead, Loren and Darien's search for answers takes them deep into Angelthene's corrupt underbelly, where they discover a dark secret that threatens to unravel their world. And when tragedy strikes, Loren learns that love can make an ordinary person do extraordinary things.

From the author of Dreams of Ice and Iron comes a new fantasy romance perfect for fans of Sarah J Maas, Ilona Andrews, and Cassandra Clare.

Interesting story. Waste of narration.

Should’ve been duet narration or just the female to narrate the whole book. It’s confusing when every chapter is their own impersonation of the others’ voices. Not sure I’ll continue with the next book. Didn’t really grab me the way I’d hoped.

I couldn’t stop listening

I loved this book so very much! Great story! Great performance and I can’t wait for the next book to come out.

It was an interesting ride.

I liked the premise of this book but it was definitely a rollercoaster. As a spicy romantasy girly I would have like a little more tension and spice throughout, but that’s ok. I didn’t particularly love the male narrator just because of his cadence to every sentence, but again, it was ok. There was definitely a lot going on in this book but without deeper understanding, you had to do a lot of inferencing. Overall I liked it and will read and listen to the next book.

Great fun, sexy and addictive!

Truly enjoyed these narrators! This is worth your time and I can’t wait to start the second book in the series!

Enjoyable story

The story is nice and easy to get into. The narrators on the other hand made it a little difficult to get through.
