Edovard

Um… I was told I'm supposed to summarize my story here, but recently, I've learned that blurbs are hard, so I'm not sure what to say.

My name is Edovard Durand Folange. I'm twenty-seven years old from Fresno, California, and recently, I moved across the country to live with my new parents and brother. Oppa kills people for a living, Papa is his announcer guy, my brother is like his assistant, and I guess it turns out I'm the person the magic tells who needs to die—it's called being an Augur. I don't really know what that word means, but even though it's scary, I'm getting used to it.

It's nice to have a job, but Santanos (he's the Avatar of Evil) offered me a second job, and I'm really excited about that because I get to work with him and help him fix the minions. A lot of them aren't doing very well, so my second job is to make sure that everyone gets as much love as they need in their lives. Sometimes, that means killing people who are stealing all the love away from them. I guess maybe I'm a little evil, too, because I don't mind letting Oppa kill those people to save the minions.

The Trouble with Trying to Love a Hellion is a paranormal romance featuring a cinnamon roll narrator with more than the usual amount of love to give and a sultry incubus who happens to be the Avatar of Evil. If the minions are especially affectionate with the cinnabun, well, who can blame them when he's the best cuddler they've ever met?

Includes blood and viscera, someone dies because they call Edovard dumb, and Edovard accidentally creates a polycule, but that's ok because he's just making sure everyone gets enough love to be emotionally healthy.

Includes a bonus novella, The Adventure of Sterling Jones.

Good series

This is a really fun series. I can’t wait for the next book. The narration was really really good too.

This one confused me a little

There was no heads up that Puppa was going to be telling a story with everyone interrupting. It took me until chapter 4 to realize that’s what’s happening. Besides that it was a good story.

Super Sweet Followed by a Super Hilarious!

I love both the stories in this book, Edivard's because it is syrupy sweet and Sterling's because it is outrageously hilarious and quite raunchy! I definitely recommend this book!

Cheesy and Sweet

A sweet and cheesy little romance.
An interesting twist to the storyline. I had to listen to it from start to finish in one go, I couldn’t put it down.
I like how our main character described and broke down and simplified all of the large complicated emotions of love. He made it just plain and simple.
Perfect choice for a narrator. I love how he gives each character such depth in the way he reads them.

Fun!

This series is so much fun! The characters are amazing and the story is interesting. The narration is very well done.

Woooeeeee!!!

At first, it’s super puppy cute and respectful… then you get to the second story, and OMG! The smut is amazing!

Slightly Cringy

This third installment in the Murder Sprees and Mute Decrees series is good, despite some issues. Edovard's innocence and naivete can come across as cringy in certain points, at least until he starts using actual words for things instead of euphemisms. The relationship between the characters feels kind of forced, but is still entertaining to listen to. Earlywine delivers a fantastic performance despite any issues in the story, making the whole thing less cringy overall. I would still recommend a listen, if for no other reason than to know what is happening in order to listen to the fourth book.
