Publisher's summary

Fork the haters.

After being demoted to the position of "cleaner" for the SSF, Gem's not sure life gets much worse. But when she stumbles upon a level six demon in her last trimester hiding in downtown New Orleans, she realizes she was very, very wrong.

Apparently, maternal instincts apply even to demon babies.

Gem can't let the council destroy such an innocent creature. Even if it is destined to grow up and try to eat her someday. On a mission to protect, Gem must figure out who's opened a portal for high level demons and what it has to do with her own father's murder - all while juggling an infant with a penchant for pop music and eating human flesh.

Her new boss might have something to say about Gem's methods. Good thing her baby daddy has decided to step up and help out. Gem's learned firsthand, if you've never seen an alpha sporting a baby sling, you're missing out.

love Gem

Another amazing story from Heather Hildenbrand that will have you laughing out loud. Gem has somehow found herself the proud mom of an adorable demon baby and is sharing parenting duties with the hot Alpha Jax. But we can't forget about her mysterious boss Adrik who also brings out the best or worse in her. Be prepared for some great one-liners and an action packed adventure that will keep you listening long after you should stop

Baby Demons and Gummy Bears

A homeless guy with no shoes should not be having a better day than me 😅 -Gem

There is an issue with time continuation with this book. It starts off with Gem attending her first day of work as a Cleaner. It's the Monday after the events in book one. However, in random parts of the books, she talks as though it's been months or years since she has seen some of the characters from training school.

I love the new addition. I would have suggested editing out the section with Fergie and the elderly neighbor. It was a serious topic was made into a joke. It made it hard to take Gem seriously when she talks about avenging her dad or protecting the innocent... but I let my mind glass over it as it was obviously intended.

I'd describe this book as a mix of comedy and urban fantasy. It's perfect for  a day when you need an upbeat book that isn't emotional draining. 

3 Stars⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Most common rating for a book I liked.
