The Demon Court

Seven Deadly Demons, Book 1

By: Emma Hamm

Narrated by: Lia Holland, Logan McAllister

He is temptation, but she will not be tempted.

As a child, Selene was left at the foot of the White Tower—given to the sorceresses who train those with magic. Her life has been spent honing her powers. But she can't fully join their ranks until she fulfills a single, impossible task: bring the Demon King, Lust, to his knees.

Lust has ruled his kingdom for centuries. He is the reason his people live without remorse and indulge in their senses. Life is mundane and boring… until he runs into a dark-haired enchantress with eyes the color of the night sky. With one whispered sentence, she changes everything.

"I'm the beginning of something new."

Suddenly, the weight of centuries consumes him. He tries to use his powers of lust to sway her. He can bend the emotion, manipulate it, use that lust to control anyone he wants. But she's a blank slate. He can't feel anything inside her mind but ice and defiance.

All it took was one sentence to get into his castle, even less to capture his attention. Suddenly, the weakest of the sorceresses finds herself in a game of wits she has to control. A game of deceiving a demon king while desperately trying not to fall in love with a creature who cannot feel anything but lust.

Vocals and story were EXCELLENT

i loved the pacing, characters, and world building. Easily became enraptured in the story and didn’t want to stop listening!

Very very good story

Loved the storyline and the voice actors! Worth putting in your library if you like steamy romances with more substance to them than just smut.

The World building

I truly enjoyed the Overall story and left me wanting to know more about the characters and the overall world.

I would say

It’s probably a mid-level decent paranormal romance. There’s not a lot you can do with a standalone featuring the Spirit of lust. I think it was just that the audio was pretty mid. It felt almost read by an AI Siri like voice.
The men was better. But it was okay.

Slow

Interesting premise but the story’s progress is painfully slow. Lust and a few of the supporting characters were fun and likable, but I couldn’t bring myself to care for Selene and found her annoying for the majority of the book. The ending was cute and touching though!
