Speak of the Demon

A Paranormal Urban Fantasy Romance (Deals with Demons, Book 1)

De: Stacia Stark

Narrado por: Amanda Leigh Cobb

I hunt demons.

I don’t work for them.

And I promised my mom one thing before she was murdered: Under no circumstances, would I ever go near the high demons.

But I’ll break that promise over and over again if it helps me avenge her death.

When my only lead turns to ash in the middle of demon territory, I’m suddenly a dead witch walking. Violence in Samael’s club is an automatic death sentence… unless he can use you.

And it turns out that the most powerful demon in the country has a use for little ol’ me.

Demons are being slaughtered. His demons. And as a bounty hunter, it’s up to me to find out who would dare hurt his people.

I’ve got two weeks to find the killer, and if I fail, I’m bonded to Samael. Forever.

Samael’s certain that I’ll be his, but I’m not the kinda girl who risks her freedom for a demon.

I’m the kinda girl who won’t let anyone get in the way of her vengeance— not even the Machiavellian control freak who thinks he can run my life.

The problem? I’ve pissed the wrong people off.

Now I’m the one being hunted, and someone’s coming for me with everything they have.

But I’m never more dangerous than when my back is up against the wall.

And I’m ready to come out swinging.

Phenomenal!

I freaking love this series and I need more books and spin offs in this universe! I constantly want more Danica and Samael, their banter and relationship throughout the whole series makes me want to read all of the books over again and again! The narration is also incredible, the way she can make each character had a distinctly different voice and all done so well. I can't wait for the next book in the spin off series!

very very very slow start at some parts, but overall good

i’m not even gonna lie, i skipped some parts around 15-18. i stopped skipping after 20. from there it picked back up.

A strong start to the series!

A paranormal world with demons (who are very reminiscent of Nalini Singh's angels) witches, fae and other creatures. I liked the FMC's bounty hunter job because each case brings possibilities and excitement for future books.

Loved Danika

i loved this book. there are still so many questions but that makes sense because its only book 1 of the series.

We have our FMC Danika ( SJM really did a number on the Name Danika. I'm still wounded). She is a bounty hunter for the Mage guild and is trying to find clues to lead her to her mothers killer. A Lead she obtains leads her straight into Samael's tower. There her second lead is killed right in front of her and she has to make a deal with Samael (the leader of the demons earthside). She has to find out who is killing demons around the city, and kill them. She also only has two weeks to get it done.

I loved Samael's and Danika's dynamic. I wouldn't call it enemies to lovers. Danika clearly has a grudge against all demons. She knows one most likely killed her mother and her mother always warned her away. Samael on the other hand tells himself that he marked her to put her in her place and use her but his actions say the opposite. He's clearly taken with her. As the story progresses we see time and time again that he is constantly trying to push her so that she can be strong enough to protect herself.

I love the MCs but i also love the side characters too. Meredith (the Bar owner) seems to be very interesting even though we did not see much of her. I also love all the demons. Vas is the Best guy friend i would want and i really hope Danika and Lilith become great friends.

What i don't get is why her sister is so mad at her. Danika was 14 when her mom separated them. what did she think Danika could do? she was just a child, and three years later when Danika came back to tell her that their mother is dead, Danika was still only 17. Still a Child!!!! I don't think I'm going to like her sister very much. she seems like she's one of those people who blame everyone else around her for things instead of taking responsibility for her own actions.

The story is captivating and cant wait to continue on with the story.

Well...it wasn't wrong...

At the bottom of the description, it listed a bunch of authors and said that the writer is something like them. Very true. Almost to the point to where I feel like I've read this story before. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't plagiarized or anything that drastic, but it was VERY clear to anyone who's read Kim Harrison's Rachel Morgan series or Patricia Briggs' Mercy Thompson series (and some of the others) where the inspiration came from.

Having said that and totally acknowledging that the concept for this story was anything but original, it was still very well written. I really enjoyed the MFC and the MMC. I enjoyed their banter. I enjoyed their chemistry. I thought Samael feel in love a little quickly but it wasn't instant. I will keep reading!
