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.

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?

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!!

Who doesn't enjoy a reverse harem with 3 alphas?

If you are like me and you enjoy getting lost in a paranormal romance with some tall, dark and dangerous, and gorgeous guys then this is your perfect escape. I love that 3 alphas find her as their mate and who doesn't love a heroine who can't be killed and loves to punish. There wasn't a lot of erotica in this book but it is only book 1 of the series. So it was more about getting to know the characters and the issue of 3 supernatural alphas all having the same second-chance mate and her being sent to deal with the three of them as her demon assignment. You have all kinds of supernatural beings in this book and you also have 3 very different hunky alpha males and a very strong heroine. I listened on 1.5x speed.

Suspensful and Sexy

This story is not what I was expecting in the best way. Fury our leading lady is a demon who excels at reforming people. She is a caring yet bad ass woman who happens to end up being mates to the 3 delicious men. But this story has so many layers, there is something much bigger brewing beyond what Fury has been told. The romance between Fury and her mates is definitely a slow burn. The story is self contained for the most part, but the ending does give us a small epiloge type chapter that builds into the next book. I can't wait to get my hands on it to discover where this is all going.

Amazing start to series

Love Fury and her mission. Full of mystery, intrigue, love, loss and second chances. This is a paranormal RH, with fated mates and a mixture of supernaturals. A book you won't want to put down, an no extreme cliffhanger.
