Ousted from the Hollows Group, the shadow world has officially taken notice of me. With loan sharks sniffing around and knocking on my door, I need to figure out how my ex-husband pushed all his debt onto me, because it stinks of black magic and back-alley dealings. Until I can get some answers there, I distract myself with a new job - working for a goblin. The job is as simple as hiding some paperwork for him. Only...someone else wants what he gave me. And they are playing dangerously dirty to get what they want.

My magic can kill. Now, it might be the reason I die. For years, I thought I was Raven Cursed - only to discover I’m something much worse. But nothing about my life is as shocking as what I discover about Mephisto, the mysterious and alluring client who’s always had a special interest in me. Now I know why. My curse and Mephisto’s secrets have to take a back seat when the most powerful vampire in the city hires me for a job. It seems simple enough: Negotiate the acquisition of a weapon that can kill his kind faster than a stake to the heart.

Don't Buy the snark. This is a terrific series
I have about a thousand titles in my audible library, and this is the first review I have taken the time to write.
Yes Allie is frequently whiney, makes ill-advised decisions and can be the definition of stubborn.but keep the faith and you will be handsomely rewarded. She outgrows these character flaws particularly in the later installments.
Bottom line the reason to listen to this series is that Devon Monk has done a wonderful job of world building, created a variety of intriguing characters and compelling storylines in every installment. I was very sorry to see the series concluded.
