Legacy of Temptation

A Demonica Birthright Novel (Demonica Birthright, Book 1)

De: Larissa Ione

Narrado por: Alex Knox

The legacy continues…

It’s a gritty new world.

Three decades after the events of REAPER, the world is a different place. The secret is out. The existence of demons, vampires, shapeshifters, and angels has been revealed, and humans are struggling to adapt. Out of the chaos, The Aegis has risen to global power on the promise of containing or exterminating all underworlders, even if that means ushering in the End of Days.

Standing in their way is the next generation of warriors, the children of demons and angels and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

See how they become legends in their own right.

Legacy of Temptation

Eva Tennant, like everyone at The Aegis, hates demons. But she loves her job as Deputy Spokesperson for the global demon-slaying organization, and she’s excited to be in the running for Chief Spokesperson. All she has to do is not screw up the two-week exchange program with The Aegis’s rival agency, the Demon Activity Response Team. But things go horribly wrong when a murder turns her into a fugitive from justice and puts a demonic target on her back.

Logan, son of the Horseman of the Apocalypse known as Death, has dedicated his life to fighting demons alongside his colleagues at DART. He loves fighting, females, and his pet hellhound, Cujo. What he doesn’t love is The Aegis, whose leadership attempted to slaughter him at birth. Understandably, he balks when he’s ordered to protect an Aegis Guardian responsible for the deaths of his friends. Really, he’d rather feed her to Cujo.

But when an old enemy rises from the ashes, Eva and Logan find themselves giving into temptation even as they sacrifice the things…and people…they love the most.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Another unique and original fantasy in author Larissa Ione's superbly crafted 'Demonica Birthright' series… brilliantly narrated by the vocal storytelling talents of Alex Knox who brings the listener a true 'theatre of the mind' experience. A 'must' for all dedicated action/adventure fantasy fans.”—Midwest Book Review

So happy to be back!

I’m so happy to be back in the Demonica world. I feel like this feels fresh and new while still having everything I loved in the original series. I’m loving the more in depth look at the Aegis & DART, and my heart is breaking for what everyone has gone through since we last saw them…

No, you should not read this before reading Demonica & Lords of Deliverance. You’ll have no idea what’s going on.

Good storyline

Narration was uninspiring storyline was interesting but narration could be perked up 15 word minimum
Is stupid

Loved!

Demonica is one of my fav series. So, I was ecstatic that Larissa Ione was back with a new book in the Demonica world! This did not disappoint! I’m dying for the next one!

Awesome!

Love being back in the paranormal world of Larissa Ione. What an imaginative story. Can’t wait for more!

1 of the best

this is literally one of the best books in (out of?) the demonica series! if I could give it more stars I would've.

entertained by this entire book

I was entertained by this entire book and didn’t want this face paced, action packed story to end. I didn’t know beforehand that this was a spinoff series but it didn’t hinder my enjoyment of the story. Larissa Ione crafted a wonderful tale full of demons, angels, fallen angels, and humans. This was a slow burn, spicy enemies to lovers story with an intriguing plot, layered characters, lies and drama. Eva is such a relatable character, she works hard, was basically brainwashed by her agency and parents but has her eyes opened when she starts collaborating with DART. Logan is such a well rounded character who deals with inner demons/past hurts but is inherently good on the inside and falls head over heels for Eva. Now that I know there are other books in this world, I will be making my way through them because I want to know everyone’s stories!

This is my first Alex Knox listen and I absolutely loved him!! Wonderful job with different voices, keeping a steady pace and filling emotion when needed!

Hmmm?

I loved the Demonica series and this story falls in line with the continuation of the Demonica world. I think for me to adequately provide a well rounded review I would need to read/re-listen. The narrator took some time to make me feel comfortable with his performance and that detracted from the actual story. He's not a bad narrator just not what I expected.

Loved it!!!

I haven't listened to books in this series in a while. However, just like the previous books, this one left me wanting more and eagerly anticipating the next book in the series. The narrator was great and consistent in performance, familiar to the series. The storyline was thoughtful and engaging, creating a brilliant rebirth of this series. This universe is one of my all-time favorites!

Good Story. Cute Romance.

This was quite good and I'm excited to see where the storyline takes us. Logan and Eva were a cute couple- didn't have the same level of sizzle as their predecessors, but I enjoyed their romance. I listened to this one and for those considering doing the same, I'll say to stick with the narrator. I didn't think I'd be able to listen to his performance but he turned out to be very good.

Consistent excellence

I so enjoyed this book! I’ve been a fan of Larissa Ione for years and absolutely love this world she has created. I appreciate that she took her time and gave us quality work, even though I was anxiously waiting.
Larissa Ione expertly weaves these new characters into our hearts while continuing to grow the love we have for the previous generation.
Can’t wait for the next!
