Resumen del Editor

As with everything else in my life, the descent into Hell was not so simple.

When I jumped into the portal, I expected to find the Sins on the other side. I expected to find my people - demons - waiting and ready. What I found were flames and fire and ash.

The apocalypse hadn't waited for me. It had already begun. Hell's barriers were collapsing in on themselves - making my task of finding the Sins infinitely harder. As the Horsemen and I set out on our journey to find them, we discover that not all is what it seems.

A white-haired assassin once told me to beware of the evil that hides in plain sight. I should have listened to her.

The fight for Hell has begun, and the duty of saving it lies solely on my shoulders, but to win - to survive - I must unravel the secrets of the past if any of us are to see the future.

I will take what is mine, even if I have to bleed for it.

Contains mature themes.

loved it

Loved this series. very entertaining. kept my attention entire time. uses some of the slang, I regularly use.

Me encanto !!

Al principio lo de ti un poco lento y angustiante, pero cuando parecía no haber más esperanza … boom! El libro retoma con gran velocidad y energía, me encanta lo cínicos que son los personajes, obviamente el trash panda !
Las escenas sexys me encantaron aunque en este libro comparado con los anteriores siento que faltó un poco más de detalle.
Me divirtió mucho toda la saga !!

A great closing book

This books had me feeling all the feels. I loved the chaos and craziness of the book. The character development for our FMC was so good. Overall this was an amazing way to wrap up the series.

Great way to end this series ❤️

I think book 4 was on par with book 1 for me, I loved it and didnt want it to end! I won't be giving things away so this review will be shorter than my others, but let me say I DIDNT SEE SOME OF THE TWISTS COMING! It made me so happy and smile when the reveals started to happen. I had to stop what I was doing to rewind the audio to make sure I didnt hear things incorrectly haha. I thought maybe 1 would be, but not all of them hahaha. If you have read it you will know what I mean. In terms of the storyline, some things I really didnt see coming that made me want to chuck my phone across the room. It made for a good, angsty story and some things were tough to listen to (if you have trigger warnings about nonconsent, just be forewarned there is some in here). So Rysten has been my fav throughout but he had to make up for some things that hurt Ruby and me hahaha. I think Ruby was levelheaded with her response though and he made up for it with some groveling and sexy time 🥵. I think the others stepped up, especially Laran at the end, and I felt for the Horsemen in the Epilogue, Allistair in particular ❤️. I was intrigued with the resolution to the baddie in this one, but I thought book 4 was a tad rushed since they had just entered Hell and everything was resolved by the end, definitely could have expanded and made it 5, but I understand where Kel was coming from.

For narration, same comments as before, issues with some of the accents. I think the added characters was done well and the performance was perfect to make me smile, scream, and cry at the end 😭.

I was happy to see how it ended, and loved the couple epilogues, made me giggle with Bandit and Fate and loved the open-ended conclusion for Moira (and the potential lovers she could have in a future series or story!). I am definitely going to be getting these in paperback (again those covers!!) because this story helped me escape from a crazy work week that was high-stress, helped me decompress and escape even for a couple hours a day with Ruby, her crazy bestie and pet, and her delicious men.

Excellent final book in the series

This last book in the Queen of the Damned series did what the others couldn't for me. While I love the others, I didn't cry. However, the last chapters of this one made me cry so hard that my husband was afraid of talking to me, lol. I also laughed with Bandit and Moira, and raged about many things that would be major spoilers if I began enumerating them. Well, there's one I can tell you about because it was the norm from book 1: the horsemen could never protect Ruby. It pissed me off royally that the fourth fanned their egos saying they were powerful and 💩, but when Ruby truly needed them, they couldn't help. Always the same 💩! The only things they were good at were scaring low-level demons to death and having sex with Ruby.

That brings me to the sex scenes. They weren't bad in this installment, but I preferred the ones in book 3. These ones lack the attention and love that the writer put into writing the spice in the previous installment. It may be the result of having many more things going on in the plot, but I expected a bit more. However, it doesn't affect the overall story, so I didn't deduct any stars.

Talking about the plot, Brimstone Nightmares has the best one in the whole series. Like I said before, there's so much going on that you can't stop reading. The need to know what is going to happen next keeps you reading, or in my case, listening for hours. There's also more action, intrigue, and betrayals than in the previous books.

All these reactions awarded the book with my LAC (Laugh-Angry-Cry) badge, putting it among my favorite books of 2024.

just really fun

There are a lot of really witty passages. Tongue in cheek humor. A fun storyline. A racoon. A hell hound. Puppies. Drama. Primordial and Fae and demons. This is just a really fun book at the end of a fun fantasy series that is Smut+. I don't care for the smut, but I LOVE the writing. The characterization is A+ Dialogue is fantastic. As a fantasy fan who grew up with Wheel of Time, The Hobbit, C.S. Lewis and later found Brandon Sanderson, Joe Abercrombie, Orson Scott Card and other amazing world builders, this series is low fantasy, but still fun enough to be worth it. All hail Bandit.

The story is amazing

This series was hard to turn off. Enjoyed it immensely. There was a spot in the series where I had to hold back tears, I don’t cry very easily. Well done to the author and performers

Trash panda!

First how can you not like a story that has a trash panda as a pet.
Love this series, a nice change to the devil and hell stories. Narrator has a wonderful range of voices for the characters, although Mora sounded more Scottish than southern but it didn’t ruin the story at all.
Can’t forget the spicy and yummy men, would love to see another series on Mora and adventures she has.

Thank you

Finally, I found a book I can say honestly is too short. Omg I love your series so much and don’t ever want it to end. Thank you for such a well writing and entertaining book. More, I want more now🥺

Loved every minute of the books

Just finish listening to all the books and the only thing I can say is that I really loved it ,
Yes I did got my black heart breaking from what happened to the horse man but at the end I loved every minute of it of the book
