Publisher's summary

All she wanted was to save her friend, so she made a deal with the darkness, but her good intentions came with a steep cost, and it's so much more than she bargained for.

Magic always comes with a price. This is the lesson Alex Hendricks, a young practitioner, learns when she is forced to confront a terrifying entity set on claiming her soul for his own. Secrets from her past are revealed, and she must decide whether to meet the entity's demands or sacrifice herself, allowing him to end her life and condemn her to eternal torment. This short tale follows Alex on her journey over the course of two days' time as she battles supernatural forces and comes into her own power. But, will it be enough to save her life and retain command of her own soul?

Note from the author: Dealings in the Dark is a horror novella that deals with the dangerous consequences of magic usage. As such, the story you are about to listen to contains graphic scenes depicting physical violence, gore, mention of the death of a parent and grandparent, mention of child death and harm, limited depictions of dementia, and depictions of demonic creatures and forces. If any of these topics are disturbing to you, you may not wish to proceed with this text.

Well Done

This is the second story I've read by Samantha Moran, I really enjoy her writing style and will pick up more of her work. It's a gripping story and fast paced. I didn't expect that ending, which is always great when that happens. Paige did a fantastic job as always. I really enjoyed the character Iroth, a cruel but suave demon. Paige's delivery of his lines really solidified his personality and made him jump off the page, so to speak. Looking forward to more from this team.

This Book Was Everything!

I got to meet this amazing author at Sinful Signings this year. As I was walking around the event, looking at everything, she noticed that I had a Supernatural tattoo and stopped me, asking if I liked the show. We got to talking, and she recommended that this is a book I might like - Dealing in the Dark. since it has Supernatural themes to it. Witches, Demons, and a Hell Hound named CeCe. She was 100% right. This book was everything. It has the suspense and the twist that you don't expect.

The audible was definitely worth it; Paige did an amazing job with the characters; her portrayal of Iroth had me busting out laughing.

The story follows a young woman having to race against time to complete a deal she made as a young girl or her mortal soul will be tortured. The character Iroth definitely gives Crawly vibes, which was hilarious. I really liked his character even though he was hardly in the book. Gotta love CeCe.

I can't wait to read book 2, Bound and Betrayed.

Fast paced

I enjoyed this quick short story, even though it’s quick it had a couple good plot twists and kept me engaged! Overall I enjoyed it.

Well that took me by surprise (no spoilers)

I think the combination of me being a perceptive person and having grown-up reading mysteries, I often see through to what’s going to happen before it does. And I will admit, I was pleasantly surprised and didn’t see a very big part of the story coming.

I thoroughly enjoyed the power struggle between Alex and the spiritual entity. And I feel like this was also a great coming of age story.

Tantalizing novella, phenomenal narration

Just go ahead and do yourself a favor by spending 3 hours with this audiobook. This was so much fun. I was worried it’d be too much for me, I’m not typically a horror person (scooby doo scares me on the wrong night!) but this was beautifully done and un-put-downable!

Excellent story to get my Spooky Season started!!

Short and Sweet...ok scratch sweet- how about short and spooky story that is perfect for the season! I don't often buy books that are just a few hours long, but this one is definitely worth it. It was a fun listen! Like Lucifer meets Supernatural vibes. The narrator did a fantastic job! Definitely happy with the purchase.
