Slaying Monsters for the Feeble

Guild Codex: Demonized, Book 2

De: Annette Marie

Narrado por: Cris Dukehart

I'm bound to a demon.

For my entire life, I avoided magic at all costs. Now, I'm responsible for a demon who wields magic more powerful than the toughest mage or sorcerer.

Demons are evil.

That's what my textbooks say. That's what I see. He's ruthless, he's temperamental, he's cold. But he protects me without fail. I wonder if he's hiding a heart behind his hostility.

My demon is a monster.

Whether he's heartless or not, my contract with him is illegal and beyond dangerous. Together, we must find a way to return him to his own world before anyone discovers our secret. If that wasn't bad enough, I've come to realize something else: My demon isn't the only monster I should be worried about.

Make sure to check out the companion series, The Guild Codex: Spellbound, available now, and The Guild Codex: Warped, coauthored by Rob Jacobsen.

More YA than the previous Guild books.

Robin seems to have a problem learning, and tends to be rather selfish. In fact she is a bit selfish. Immature. I do hope that the following books in the series include more maturity on Robin's behalf. Otherwise it will be more YA than I prefer to read/listen to.

The narrator is good. I enjoy her voices and delivery.

I did enjoy the offering nevertheless. Tho I ended up feeling sorry for her demon. So, yeah, I vacillated over giving it 3 stars for the story, but I realized the story is actually pretty good but the MC bugs me and that would be why I Might have given it a lower rating. At this time I am still leaning towards reading the next one, too.

Great addition

This is another great book in the series. Lots of action and interesting plot twists. Great narrator.

This is good read ended on a cliff hanger.

I am glad I already have the next book. I read while I work and the Guild series works for my work.

I have high hopes for Robin and Zylas

4.5 stars

I think this is my favorite of the 3 series so far (I haven't gotten to the Crystal Druid series yet). While Robin Page appears to be a meek librarian, she has an inner strength tempered by compassion that I love.

In this one, Robin is finding her inner voice, and while she still puts up with Zylas calling her stupid, she's starting to speak up for herself more. And while he's still a demon, he's picking up human ideas from her, and is doing his own development. I mean, I love Zylas, but he can also be a jerk, with his superior attitude of demons vs. humans. Still, I have great hopes for this partnership! This episode has vampires, and you're starting to see some overlap with the original Spellbound series. I was kept riveted by this book, all the way to the end, when Zora springs something that seems to come out of nowhere. What the heck? I am NOT a fan of Zora's. I mean, I think I get it, but ugh.

Loving this whole universe!

playful and "spellbinding"!

I really enjoyed the interplay of the characters and the edge-of-my-seat listening at different turns in the story. I look forward to listening to the next in the series!

how silly the woman seems. so helpless to help herself. what happens the demon now.

hated the narrators voice. would like to listen in order for story to make sense in context.

Great vamp/demon story with lots of magic!

Awesome follow-up! Not disappointed! Lots of magic, paranormal creatures, and demons! Characters are terrific, wonderful world building, witty, great plot, and I can't wait for the next book!
We learn more about our gal's demon besides he's hot! The relationship between the two is growing.
Wonderful narration performance!

Funny and Heartwarming

I am hooked on this series. I do not care that I am close to 50. My son is around Robin's age. The characters are well written. It is sweet and funny and interesting. A nice escape from the world we are in. I hope to see more books and series in this world Annette Marie has created.

Fun read

This book, like the other Annette Marie books I've read, is lots of fun. My only quibble is that the main character is such a wimp that she became annoying. I wanted to shake her and tell her to put her big girl panties on and get on with things. But the demon is interesting, and the story over all is too. Although I want to continue the story, I'm glad book 3 isn't out on Audible yet, because I need a rest from the main character's cowering before I go back to the book. Not sure I would recommend this particular series. Read Marie's other work first. It's better.

captivating

Annette Marie has captured my attention once again. Cris Dukehart has brought the story alive. I have listen to the book twice now. Can't wait for the next book.
