A Demon's Guide to the Afterlife, Book 1

By: Kel Carpenter, Aurelia Jane

Narrated by: Savannah Gilmore, Adam Gold

Length: 8 hrs and 45 mins

Publisher's summary

My husband killed me.

Instead of spending my immortal afterlife pissed off and angry, I moved on. I became someone.

Sure, that someone was a demon with the highest track record of reform, a.k.a. punishment, in Hell. But who’s bragging?

I’m right on my way to retirement behind the pearly gates. Everything was going fine...until the Risk Witches saw a terrible vision.

Three men. Each scarred in their own way, born with powers that haven’t been seen in eons.

Upper management sent the best to correct their path. Angels. Poltergeists. Nothing worked.

These men were too stubborn. Too bad. Too untamed....

So they sent me.

Roman. Ezra. Dorian.

Combined, they have enough power to end the world—and they will.

Unless I find a way to stop them first.

Breaking people is my job. But this time...my job might break me.

Author's Note: This is a completed adult paranormal romance series with multiple love interests and some dark elements. If you don't like strong but flawed women and alphahole heroes that need to learn a thing or two about boundaries—this book is not for you. If you love works by Tate James, Ivy Asher, Raven Kennedy, Joely Sue Burkhart, and Kristy Cunning, then dive right in to the afterlife. It'll be one hell of a ride.

Awesome new story find!!

So glad I bought this book!! Great story line, good character development and great narration!! Can’t wait for the next book!!

Loved it!

I had previously read this book and loved it but the dual narrators definitely added another level of excellence to this book! I cannot wait to hear the rest when they come out!

Great start!

Dark horse is a fantastic start to a series I think I’m going to love. Fury our demon MC was very badass and wasn’t willing to let others walk all over her. I loved getting to know her and see how she interacted with the guys. Things were heating up a lot at times. I couldn’t stop listening to the story and was sad when the end came. I want way more of these characters and this world. Fury had some great interactions especially with many of the characters from hell. I am very excited for what’s next.

Vampire’s, Fae & Shifters oh my

This story is full of snark, alpha males, an apocalypse in the making, secrets and hidden plots.
Will Fury be able to stop this apocalypse or will she die trying?

wonderful book

wonderful book!!!! The narraters did such a good job and really brought this book to a new level.

ohhhh yessss!!!

okie I devoured the books as the came out and now the audio! was to die for! the dual narration knocks it out of the park amazing job!!! a must have!

Loved book 1, need book 2 on audio ASAP!

Wow, this audiobook blew me away! I have listened to ones from Kel Carpenter but this is my first by her and her cowriter Aurelia Jane. I absolutely loved it and am dying for book 2 to come onto audio now!

I had read this series but it had been on my TBR for awhile and I am kicking myself for not diving in sooner. The MC (Fury) is such a BA character, I love her feistiness and stubborn streak haha. There is a lot of humor in this book that I wasn't expecting (shouldn't have been surprised after we got glimpses of it in her other RH paranormal series) and I couldn't get enough. I loved Fury's relationship with some of the side characters from Hell (oh my goodness Hades was fabulous as well as her mentor/friend who helps her every time something doesn't go as planned haha, love that aspect of her demon self!). Loved Rox (Roman's sister) and even was liking Roman's beta who definitely will be pissed with Fury after what went down at the end of the book haha.

Now the guys of this series are all scrumptious, some more than others! I loved Ezra, his arrogance not so much but his mind about getting on her good side and falling for her while trying to have her wrapped around his finger. Definitely backfired haha. Dorian I am unsure of at this point but I understand him going through a lot after how long he has been alive. I am unsure about the aspect of his daughter (and the ending makes me want to read book 2 before the audiobook drops!). I think he will fall the hardest and will become my favorite but right now he is very stonewalled. Roman I think is the cutest of the bunch in terms of his inexperience/age. I like that he tries to keep it together with his wolf and that he is still a strong and possessive alpha. I hope he steps up in book 2 because I need more of that! My emotions were all over the place after hearing their back stories and how they lost their loved ones previously.

The ending of this book was fantastic and more things are coming together with the whole end of the world worry. I liked the pace of this book, giving us enough background and relationship building as well as the baddies trying to go after Fury and what she represents. Can't wait for more!

Also the narrators were absolutely fabulous. I loved this duet narration (where the female narrator also does the female characters, etc.) I have no constructive feedback, I loved everything about this audio and cannot wait to listen to more of them. 5/5 stars easily from me!!

Fury

Fury (a demon) gets sent back to earth on a mission. In the process ends up the mate to not one but three guys, Roman, Ezra and Dorian. A must read.

love this book!

An amazing book.

narration was spectacular!

if you want an amazing book with twists and turns listen to this book!

Amazingly done!

This is one of my favorite book series! The narrators do it justice! I recommend full heartedly!
