Narrated by: Therese Plummer

Length: 7 hrs and 39 mins

Publisher's summary

The murder of a dark arts warlock. A shape-shifting, ravenous creature on the loose. A devilishly handsome stranger sent to investigate. Sometimes working law enforcement for the Netherworld is a real bitch.

Dulcie O’Neil is a fairy. And not the type to frolic in gardens. She’s a Regulator - a law-enforcement agent who monitors the creatures of the Netherworld to keep them from wreaking havoc in the mortal world. When a warlock is murdered and Dulcie was the last person to see him alive, she must uncover the truth before she’s either deported back to the Netherworld, or she becomes the next victim.

Enter Knight Vander, a sinfully attractive investigator sent from the Netherworld to work the case with Dulcie. Between battling her attraction to her self-appointed partner, keeping a sadomasochistic demon in check, and fending off the advances of a sexy and powerful vampire, Dulcie’s got her hands full. As the body count increases, Dulcie finds herself battling dark magic, reconnoitering in S&M clubs, and suffering the greatest of all betrayals.

super cute

I am glad I took a chance on this audiobook! I had the ebook for awhile but the audiobook was on sale so I snagged it and I am so glad I did! It was so good. I couldn't stop listening!

Will Listen to More & Consider

I'm looking for a series that isn't too heavy & offers a bit of amusement with the potential for a long term commitment - I think this may fit the bill. The main character appears somewhat naive yet towards the end, appears to grow a bit & certainly begins to relish in a changing attitude. I'll listen to more & see how she, along with my interest, grows.

loved it

This book had a great story line and great characters. This book was full of suspense, humor kept my interest throughout the book. I definitely will get more of these book. The narrator did a fantastic job.

A new paranormal maestra? Fun listen!

I was happily surprised by this book for several reasons. First, it was entertaining in the way of Molly Harper or Tate Halloway or Jennienne Frost, with snappy dialogue, a little suspense, lots of urban paranormal, and a little romance. Second, I was surprised I hadn't heard of this author till I went to Kindle>Whispersync>sort by price and found it that way, and 3rd, the unexpected bargain of a fun, entertaining listen free on kindle plus $2 audio and then it high ratings too?!

Therese Plummer is probably on the A list narrators and really added to this great bargain package. That said, it did take me about an hour or two to stop hearing her men sound like Jack and women like Mel from the prolific Virgin River series.

I gave it 5 stars for high entertainment value, fun suspense, edgy urban underbelly details, not being another erotica book (romance(s) is G rated and in its infancy in story arc), Snappy at 7 hours, kept me riveted as I painted, and the high quality narration.

What's even better? The following books in the series are a great bargain if you buy the kindle v first, then the audio attached for total of six bucks. A great entertainment value when you know its gonna be good after spending only two bucks for the first audio.

I've downloaded the next two...you should too!

No.... Just no!

Our heroine was so annoying I just couldn't get past it. Everything else was quite good actually, from story to action to other characters and this imaginary world everything was set in. Another thing I've found annoying were comparisons. I.e was is exactly the sound of chewing gum with broken jaw!!!!! There's no sound, cause it's would be so freaking painful to do it. There is a reason those misfortunate enough are taking liquid food through a straw! So, if our heroine was not a slutty tease and if she had any redeeming qualities whatsoever, I would give another book a try. As it is not so, no thanks. I haven't enough time in my life for better things than this.

Dulcie is the most "KICK ASS" fairy ever!!!!

I LOVE H. P. Mallory and all of her series!!!! Therese Plummer did a wonderful job bringing these characters to life and I'm looking forward to listening to the rest of the books in this series.

I love this author

I have read a good few of her books and loved them all, I almost forgot how much I liked her writing. this was really fun, kinda steamy and had mystery/action elements. recommended

SO SO VERY GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I COULDN’T PUT THE BOOK DOWN I GUESS YOU COULD SAY TURN IT OFF! Lol. I LOVED THE NARRATOR AS WELL AND I’M HARD TO PLEASE WHERE THATS CONSIRNED! GOOD CHOICE! WOULD RECOMMEND TO A FRIEND OR FELLOW READER I KNOW! SOMETIMES YOU JUST DON’T WANT PEOPLE THINKING WHY WOULD SHE THINK THAT WAS A WASTE OF MY TIME? BUT THIS I CAN HONESTLY SAY IS TIME WELL SPENT LISTENING TOO!!!! ENJOY MY PICK FOR THE SNOWY SUNDAY IN MICHIGAN!

Quirky - I liked it!

A fun and quirky book, had me from the first chapter. Couldn't wait for the second book.

Very light but also fun

If you're looking for something that is extremely light to pass the time until the book you may be waiting for comes out then this is for you. It's obvious that this author is new therefore ignore continuity and writing style. If you can get past all of that then the book is rather fun. Dulcie is a regulator law enforcement office and a faerie. her main job is to monitor creatures from the netherworld and keep them in line. When a friend of hers ends up dead she gets blamed and fights her way through the lies with a hunk of a man named Knight Vander. The two together have the typical spats and loathing that is typical with any book of the genre to battle the forces of evil to come out on top.
