Narrated by: Hollie Jackson

Length: 4 hrs and 7 mins

Publisher's summary

We've all heard the story of the Four Horsemen. Harbingers of the apocalypse. Destruction given form. Four of the sexiest - wait no - forget that. You get my point.

So imagine my surprise when I find out everything I've ever been told, is a lie.

But we're getting ahead of ourselves here. Let's start from the beginning.

My name is Ruby Morningstar. I run a tattoo parlor in Portland with my best friend, have a pet raccoon, a crazy ex who stalks me, not to mention this one little thing...I'm a demon. Half-succubus, to be exact. For the last 23 years of my life, that's the story I believed, but on the day a handsome stranger bails me out of jail my world is turned upside down, and suddenly I don't know who I am anymore.

Because the Four Horsemen aren't the bringers of the apocalypse.

I am.

Talk about never catching a break.

Contains mature themes.

Great story and Hotttt characters!!!

I loved the narrator she really brought out Ruby's humor and rebellious personality! I read this in 1 day and can't wait for the next books!!

The pet raccoon

I’d was a good story line, it just needed more to it. The characters were believable, but didn’t get a full picture of them.

Books 1 and 2 are very fine … 3 & 4, not so much

I waited til I'd listened to all four books..... The first two books in the series were a great pleasure to listen to -- the female protagonist had great depth, paranormal insights, some powers and powers adding, and a fabulously loyal friend. She had four men of various godly types show up to guard her and convince her she had to give up her earthly life and go to hell with them on a mission -- it's a great story line, and the author did a really fun job of writing the first two books in the series. I so admired the female lead's attitude toward the men, who of course oozed sexual appeal, of demanding that they show their worthiness of her sexual attention -- and in the first two books, she held them at bay, demanding their respect of her as an adult, who could make her own decisions. and, unless you like really funky sex scenes spelled out in great detail -- multiple partners, multiple orifices -- you might want to skip book 3 and just go to book 4, if you've already listened to 1 and 2 in the series. The first two books are fun. Three and four are strewn with moaning and sex, alternating with a serious as death mission to hell. See my review of book 3 and 4. The first two books were great - if the author had continued on with the same sassy, woman in control, "prove you are worth my affection" attitude, even with the mission to hell, and continued requiring the men to learn to treat her as an adult capable of rational thought and reasoning, and then finished off book 4 with her acceptance of them and the sexual activities, I'd have five starred all four books all around even with the funky submissive sex … luckily, book four completed the series, as I don't think I could have waded through any more "I love pain" comments, whining for sex, biting til the partner bleeds, etc etc to get to the (actually very satisfactory) conclusion of the book series in book 4.

Loved this book the audio was great.

The audio was great enjoyed the story and I was kept guessing the whole way through.

The power she has

The first time listern about female demon. Sounds like she will have a adventure a head of her. Can't wait.

Hmmmmmm….

I started this book a while back and lost interest. Well I just circled back around to it with only an hour and 50 mins left. I’m just finishing this book and going to start book 2. I’ll leave a review.

Story worked, narrator struggles with accents

The story worked well enough. A few rough patches where characters seemed inappropriately inconsistent, but good enough to keep listening. The narrator was good at the main character voices but had odd choices for accents her the horsemen.

Great start

Really enjoyed this short book. I say short because there is so much more to the story. I’m looking forward to the next book.

trash pandas and Apocalypses

I LOVE RUBY! This story never stops amazing me! I love Kel Carpenter's stories so much and Hollie Jackson's Voice absolutely does Ruby justice in this one! I cannot wait for the next book to be available on audible !

Reverse Harem Trope

Hollie Jackson does a wonderful job with this story, which is about where the compliments will end. This is not a bad story, but based on the description I didn’t get the sense of it being a reverse harem story. I am not a fan of harem tales, reverse or otherwise. In my role as a narrator myself, performing romance under a pseudonym, I try to avoid these when possible, though I have done a couple. That has only further fuels my disdain for the sun-genre.
The description makes it seem like the MC is unknowingly Lucifer’s daughter and will find herself beset with foes. However, she will receive assistance from unexpected sources. This is true. Again, the harem element is the problem for me.

If reverse harems are your thing you will probably like this series. If not, you have been warned.
