Perfect for first time fantasy listeners and lovers of hot tension (courtesy of forced proximity), quick-witted banter, well-rounded characters, and thrilling plot twists. Let the world of Allie Shante’s debut novel, Living Legend, envelope you and send you on a ride you won’t forget.

She’s been called from her place in the darkness to aid the side of good in the last place she wants to be…

Dani, groomed by Lilith herself, has long been spreading horror in the murk of purgatory. She never asked to be summoned to Heaven’s Gate and never expected to be charged with the stubbornly attractive angel Nicholas as her partner. Though, with a face like his to look at, Dani isn’t about to complain. The lines between good and evil are shifting. Dani discovers that, lurking in her familiar darkness, are secrets she would never have guessed at and doesn’t understand. Now she must ask herself, who is a demon supposed to trust?

He’ll have to join forces with the last entity he expected… but sometimes true loyalty lies in the most unexpected places.

Nicholas is a sentry angel yet to see actual combat, so it comes as a surprise when he’s summoned by the highest angelic executive. The bigger shock is being forced to rally together with an alluring demon he can’t get out of his head. But as allegiances are tested, Nicholas discovers a lot is hiding between the boundaries of good and evil. Side by side, Nicholas and Dani must fight the unknown… in whatever form it takes.

Would have loved more spice

Jacob Morgan delivers a compelling performance that elevates the emotional tension and slow-burn pacing of this enemies-to-lovers, angels-and-demons romance. His narration captures Nick’s yearning with a tender intensity that makes every moment of desire feel earned, while also bringing humor and spark to the banter between characters. Even when the plot dips—Reese’s arc feels underdeveloped and Dani’s choices occasionally frustrating—Morgan’s delivery keeps the story grounded and engaging. The spice is mild but present, and his voice adds just enough heat to make those scenes memorable. One standout moment: “I think you’re…” lands with quiet vulnerability that lingers. Overall, a solid 7/10 listen with 30% laughs, 5% tears, and a narrator who makes the journey worthwhile.
