Interesting story

An angel and a demon. What could go wrong? Looking forward to the next book. The narrator was great!

Oh the wonderful blasphemy! Perfection!

I read the book but then got the audible as well. I love the opening warning and honest if you don’t like the warning you probably shouldn’t heed it. The sexual tension, harassment, evil and good was so gripping. I love Kal and Faith! Can’t wait to get the second audiobook.

An angel pitted against a demon. The demon Kalili has no idea how much her life will change when the angel Faith appears to killer her. But there’s a problem, for Faith, the angel can’t fulfill her orders. Their journey on their path to find out their truth is amazingly well written. I could listen again and again.

A wonderful start to a captivating series

When you start a whole new series, there's sometimes an uncertainty, especially since you have little clue what your about to be getting into. With this book, the author brought us in slowly,gradually, letting the world and its intricate power struggles between "the Homeoffice" and down below develop. A dalop of info here, let it settle into our knowledge of the setting, then add another, then another. Even in the final chapters, new revelations were happening but it never felt forced or unnecessary. The sexy scenes were well done, the flow of the story perfect and my overall impression is this is an author worth following.

Hilarious Blasphemous and I LOVED every minuet

Take a sarcastic Demon who hates paperwork a naive Angel and make them soul mates and watch the humor and romance fly. This book touches on most aspects of humanity both the bad and good, morals right and wrong, personal growth and redemption. Pulse all the dark humor and sarcasm you can handle. I can't wait for the next book to come out.

I need more!

Love LOVED it! Incredible narration! Absolutely recommend for anyone who loves spice and humor. AC Adams stole my heart with the story of Faith and Kalili :)

This is so amazing

This is one of the most fantastic love and action stories I’ve ever listened to and it is a must buy for anyone who loves books with action and a great storyline to boot

An extremely fun ride with a wonderful narration

This was an extremely fun ride. A gory one too, but above all, it was exciting and delightfully entertaining. The content warnings had me laughing, which kinda gave a hint of how the rest of the book would go. And the narrator, Marie Bishop, does an outstanding job, right from the start.

Most of the story takes place in Rome, in 952 AD. Kalili is a demon doing demon things on Earth (such as perverting a future pope) when she hears that an angel has been sent to kill her. When the angel – Faith – catches up with her, things don’t go as planned. At all. First of all, Faith isn’t very good at killing, and on top of that, something happens between them, some connection neither expected (the reader did because a) it’s a romance and b) the prologue is set in New York in 2022). From then on, they embark on a journey to find out who wants Kalili dead and why, and learn that the situation is a lot more complicated than they’ve both been told.

A word of warning: there’s a lot of straight sex. It’s written with a lot of distance, clearly a means to an end, and definitely not as hot as the tiniest kiss between Faith and Kalili, who, unsurprisingly, are who I care about here. It makes complete sense with the story (demons use sex for all sorts of reasons and ways to manipulate humans, and most of the ones who need to be manipulated are men) and while it didn’t exactly bother me, I didn’t need so many details. That said, it’s the first book in a series, it serves as an introduction to the main couple and the author confirmed that book two is all about them – which means only sapphic sex.

Now that that’s out of the way, I’ll focus on everything I loved. I mentioned the narration already. For her first narration, Marie Bishop nailed the tone and pacing. The voices for each character are impeccable and easy to distinguish. The writing itself is light and effective, with a lot of humour, lively dialogue, snark and banter. Very amusing. And the MCs are perfect together, opposites who get closer and closer and closer, more similar as they go, their connection having surprising consequences on both of them. I love them both, Faith’s innocence and virtue the ideal counterpart to Kalili’s wit and recklessness.

A Man who pretended to be a lesbian!!!!!!

Fantastic performance and book

I had previously read this book, however, AC sent me the Audiobook to listen to and I'm so glad she did it was Brilliant!

As before I thoroughly enjoyed the book, it's witty, funny, and fun. It is a great entertaining romance and It's realy fun to listen to it.

This is a fantastic book! The story was awesome and extremely well written. I loved the whole Demon and Angel concept and the enemies-to-lovers ❤️ I fell for both Kalili and Faith they were brilliant. I loved the twists throughout and at the end.

Marie's narrating kept me engaged and entertained, she wasn't afraid to get into the characters which was a lot fun to listen to!

I highly recommend this book and the follow up! I can't wait to read more from AC!

outstanding

6☆ maybe, can't wait for book 2, so into this story of angels and demons, but it's so much more and felt so real, told in first person, or first demon, with her naive and innocent angel faith, demon cocky attitude, foul-mouthed, and plenty of humour.
but the narration, oh wow, Marie Bishop is fantastic, seamlessly transitions between characters and emotions, even the laughter was so natural.
absolutely loved it.
