Samantha Martin is an imp, enjoying an extended vacation from Hel. All she wants to do is drink beer by the pool, play mischievous pranks on the humans, and get her hot neighbor in the sack. It's a relaxing break from her infernal home as long as she manages to avoid the angels, who won't hesitate to execute her on sight.

But when her naughty hellhound lands her in trouble with the local werewolf pack, Sam is blackmailed into helping track and catch a killer. The steps she must take to appease the werewolves will put her right in the crosshairs of the angels. And with angels, there is no second chance.

I couldn't make it past the first chapter. I truly think this could be a great book, if not for the narrator. The tempo and cadence of the reading never changed, the narrator's tone never changed; she was monotone and seemed to be trying to use a sultry, seductive voice for the protagonist, but it was just lacking. I use audio books while driving, so I've listened to quite a few, but I might try reading this in paperback so I can give the story another chance.

Update: I tried to listen a second time to see if I could handle it a little better. Nope. Narration is still terrible, which is unfortunate for the author because I feel the author's work is being negatively impacted by the poor choice in narrator.

New Narrator might have saved it

Ok... its kind of hard for me to like Sam... she kills animals and people for no reason... shes mean... sometimes she appears to have feelings which makes it hard for me to completely hate her. I do like the story but the beginning is slow and it picks up eventually. For now its ok but... its just really hard to like her... when I think its possible she does something awful... ugh . .. the struggle.

I got the book based on an audible customer service recommendation and I'm glad I took the chance. I love the irreverence of the heroine and the twist on preconceived good vs. Bad.
Performance was a bit frustrating at first, but soon got used to it.
The blurb already gives you an idea of the content (which I don't think did the book much justice!) But I would add: prepare for an amazingly good journey. Already looking to get the next book (TGIF!)

excellent new author /series

I had to keep checking to see if I had ended up with a YA selection. The narrator was very slow and precise, except during conversations among the characters. The steamy scenes frequently seemed contrived and disconnected; as if they were thrown in because an editor reminded the author "sex sells". The gratuitous vulgar language was off-putting to me. Yet the story had sufficient potential that I slogged my way through to the inevitable happy ending.

Won't read further entries in this series.

I did really enjoy this book, although I don't know yet if I want to listen to the second book in this series. At times, it seemed to drag on about small things. It felt as though the plot was just 5 seconds of the book where it was mostly inside the main characters head and her relationship with a human, angel and werewolf. I don't know, maybe I should listen again and really immerse myself into her world.

good book! funny, entertaining

The performance leaves little to be desired. Thank goodness the story is a great find. Demons, check. Angels, sexual tension, werewolves. Check. Throw in fight scenes and we have a perfect story. I highly recommend it.

I'm excited to hear more

I really like that it's written from the "bad guy's" point of view. hope that doesn't get lost in the series' other books. The overall story and world/magic-building was well thought out and done - and had some interesting departures from the typical judeo-christian lore. The performance was good, but annoyingly, almost excruciatingly, slow. Played at 1.15x it sounded almost normal. 1.17x would have been perfect, if an option. Regardless, can't wait to hear the rest of the series.

different. entertaining. but listen at 1.15x

I started this book at one point and turned off. I thought it sounded stupid in the first and second chapter. I came back to it and started it again. I really enjoyed this book.

Story great

I even woke my husband up at night while he was sleeping because I couldn't stop laughing at the author's dark humor. I will caution other readers that main character is a demon, and the writer doesn't hold back on descriptions. It is hilarious I can promise you that.

I couldn't put it down
