Publisher's summary

A human, a hellhound, and an archangel walk into a bar...

Sounds like the first line to a joke, right? Only it's no joke...it's my damned life. Witches are running riot. Shifters are on the hunt. Demons are eating humans.

There's a new drug on the street. Sigil is dark and deadly...to the paranormal kind, opening up their second sight, urging them to maim, torture, and kill. And the bodies are piling up.

For me, it's an opportunity to get off The Circle's shit list and back in the black, because the Circle's Paranormal First Response Squad is more than my job, it's my legacy. So here I am, scoping out the only known distribution site, a hell-raising bar called Wicked, trying like hell to keep my eyes off the archangel who refuses my advances, and the hellhound who wants me six ways to Sunday.

He whispers dangerous things that set my pulse racing, turning toward the human, Inspector Titus Banks, and archangel Gabriel, who gives me a wink.

Oh my damn heart...this is gonna be a long-ass night. Hell really is a harem.

Contains mature themes.

Really Disappointed

Usually I can't quit a book before its done even bad ones I have to see them through. I gave this book 7 hours and 28 minutes of my life and returned it. The story is so all over the place I thought I had skipped parts so I kept rewinding. Turns out I didn't . There is no character development, and the guys are just ride or die in love with her with zero build up. I have no desire to even listen to the last hour of this book.

Sophomore at best.

Awful, just awful. I wanted to love this but i couldn't. The writing itself should never have gotten past an editor. Everything is "desperate." In one section I counted 3 'desperate' in 5 sentences! Oh and " his ankle-length coat swirled around his ankles" There was on sex scene the whole book which was a few kisses, a little fingering and then they pumped and finished. The story devices are everywhere. Suddenly the characters have a deep backstory and history because the author added " their years together" or something similar to one sentence halfway through. No character development, no motivation, no complexity. I'm not even really sure what the plot is or where it's going. There is conflict between the protagonist and her cultural authority group, between her and an evil element, between that element and a mysterious power circle revealed at the end of the book, but its everywhere, with no focus and no development. The whole thing could have been written by an angsty teen trying to emulate a Silhouette Romance with no real experience with actual relationships between human beings. And the narrator!!!! She didnt help at all. The whole book sounds like its narrated by Bella mooning over Edward. The. Whole. Time. Every line delivered with breathy, tortured, emotion between lust and self loathing. Walk Away from this series.

Good listen

The book is a little confusing how it progresses in 1 part (skips from 1 scene to another) but the MC says she’s confused & doesn’t remember how she got where she was so in a way it makes sense. Other reviews say the word damn is used a lot & it is but it’s something I could deal with. The narrator did a good job of doing multiple voices but if it’s bothersome I’ve learned to speed it up. There’s sexual tension throughout the book with an actual sex scene probably at the 3/4 mark (not what the other review said). It’s book 1 out of 4 & more often than not that’s how these series are. I expect more in the following books. Starting book 2 now & looking forward to what the author has in store.

snore

Talk about boring. If I sat down while listening I would fall asleep. Nothing in this story held me captivated, not a thing. I quit with about a quarter left to listen to and I honestly don't care, I am perfectly happy never knowing the end, now if that doesn't say something then by all means read or listen to it til your hearts content. The narration definitely could've been better, at times she had this haulty/jilted tone then gave off robot vibes. All in all its just a great alternative to taking a sleeping aides. 😴

Spicy

The spice level is great, but plot holes galore, and I’m a bit eh about the polyam situation.

narrator sucks

freaking narrator sucks; she is spitting everywhere. I've never been so annoyed in my life listening to her. she has no emotion is her ton and it's terrible. I can barely listen to 10 minutes at a time without cringing.

Ok story...but “damn”

The storyline had promise. The narrator was pretty good. But the constant repetitive use of “damn”- almost every other word was extremely distracting and frustrating. Almost as if the author needed word count filler. My husband was about ready to throw himself out of our moving car.
