Narrado por: Luna Rey

Hazbin Hotel meets Crescent City in this new fantasy romance series from USA Today bestseller Piper CJ.

"How does a human girl lose the Prince of Hell?"

Marlow needs to believe she's crazy. The alternative would mean embracing the gift—or curse—shared by her mother and grandmother: she can see angels and demons, including a dark and haunting entity who's been with Marlow her entire life. At least, she believes that's all he is until a fae from the Nordic pantheon strolls into her life and informs her that she's been sharing a bed with the Prince of Hell.

A Prince who's now gone missing.

Before she knows it, Marlow is deeply entangled in a centuries-old war, stumbling straight into a battleground between mighty beings of myth and legend from powerful pantheons around the world. And who will come out on top may just depend on her and the love she never dared to believe in.

Contains mature themes.

Amazing storytelling, hell of a cliffhanger!

I enjoyed everything about this story, from the writing to the performance of the narrator! Any woman who experienced the "purity culture" of the Christian church, among other forms of religious abuse, should read this book. I can't wait for the next installment!

The characters are wonderfully written

The story is believable and enthralling. I loved the characters. The world is built very well. Very enjoyable.

Absolutely captivating!!

This story will grab you from the beginning and it will have a chokehold on your psyche until you’re finished.. and then it will ultimately become a siren’s song that pulls you back in for a second and third read!! It’s mesmerizing and filled with all of the lusty, mystical moments that you’ve been craving! Bravo!

Loved it!

This was a great book! I can’t wait for the next one! It is steamy without going overboard and I thought the story line was really interesting.

Frustrating FMC

I really wanted to like this more. It had promise but the FMC is annoying and frustratingly slow on the uptake.

Entertaining read

Story jumped around a lot in the beginning to build the character. Was little hers to keep up but it got better as you listened along

Magical multi-relm story filled with miscommunication tropes

My least favorite trope, but a fun story. I wish the main character wasn't so helpless and there were more page time for shadow daddies. Overall it was a good listen.

Character Building A+

I went into this book with high hopes, however I’m left wanting. The character building was great, but the storyline felt kind of flat. I was hoping for a Kevin Hearneesque take on the Lore and instead it leaned more towards… cringey Colleen Hooveresque sex scenes. I believe the bones of the story are good, and I’m down for a book that includes steamy scenes… but I felt they were too forced. I love the character Fauna, and I enjoy the detail in Marlowes storyline but I’m disappointed overall.

Love it!!

I got fully wrapped up in the world you created cannot wait for book 2

Captivating

Loved the book. Such a great story and characters. The depth that she puts in weaved with a bit of mythology and a ton of creativity.
