A Twist of Demon

Cocktails in Hell, Book 1

De: S. E. Babin

Narrado por: Heather Nichols

Want longer hair, whiter teeth, a smaller nose? Violet has a potion for that. Want to hex an enemy, make someone fall in love with you, or curse someone? Well . . . that will cost you.

By day, Violet is a supposed charlatan running a potion shop in New Orleans and catering to drunk tourists who want to take a walk on the wild side. By night, she's a Potion Master, a rare, magical being whose shop straddles the portal to Earth and Hell, slinging potions to magical beasts who only come out at night.

She's also the protector of both, a neutral being who carefully navigates the Accords between oblivious humans and the creatures who wouldn't mind snacking on them. Unfortunately for both sides, Violet is terrible at her job.

After the last Potion Master dies a horrible death and she's pulled out of anonymity by a handsome and super annoying demon, Violet's shop transforms and she's thrust into unwanted instafame. And not the good kind, either.

Suddenly, everyone either wants to date her, or they want to kill her.

And, honestly? Violet isn't sure which one is easier anymore.

Entertaining

The narrator was awful. Her voices were good but her tone and expression felt unskilled a lot of the time. Just when it started to sound good, a sentence would come out just deflating the experience. The story was ok - if the writer keeps writing it will improve.
