Devil in the Details

Good Intentions, Book 5

By: Elliott Kay

Narrated by: Tess Irondale

Once the shadows of magic enter a mortal’s life, they never really leave. Alex learned that from the moment he met Rachel and Lorelei, but he fell for them anyway. Months later, Alex copes with supernatural chaos by grounding himself in ordinary things and daily life. Most days, he’s even happy.

That steady anchor comes loose with a call from a sister he didn’t know he had in Las Vegas, searching for the father he hasn’t seen in a decade. Scheming demons and a growing online cult quickly complicate the family reunion Alex never wanted. Yet the greatest threat may come from Heaven itself—and an angel’s judgment over Rachel and Lorelei.

A good time

it was great seeing another side of Alex, and im more curious about how these events will play out.

loved this whole series.

I've been with whole series it was awesome and I'm glad the main characters. keep it coming.

Another amazing installment in the Good Intentions series

Another fun, exciting, and fulfilling adventure through the world of the Good Intentions series. In this installment, we have lots more healthy but difficult growth for the main characters, exploring long-neglected and some previously-unknown connections to others, and working through some serious background scenarios / long-term story arc issues that have been lurking and building and start coming to a head here.

This series is one of my comfort listens that I keep coming back to over and over again. Now, if only the next installment were already available...

Another good book in the series...

When Alex and his two main squeezes get the call to help family he didn't even know about, he rushed to help. This fith installment in the series is a lot of fun. The characters continue to develop and the spice continues to be fun.
It isn't just Alex that has some good self reflection but also the other members of the cast.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book and want more.

Another great entry in the series

This is another great story in this series by Elliott Kay with Tess Irondale's usual amazing narration. I do recommend listening to Grand Theft Sorcery before this book. While it isn't necessary to understand the plot of this book, it does have some minor references to what happened in Grand Theft Sorcery that make more sense if you've already finished it. Anything more I could say about Devil in the Details would venture into spoiler territory. If you've completed the previous books in the series, you know what you're getting into.
