About this listen
Paige has no interest in being a demon’s plaything.
She shouldn’t even be in the Fallen City of Elisium, but all it takes is one Nephilim jerk proclaiming her to be tainted and that’s exactly where she winds up.
The demons she encounters there are vile, wicked beings, though none more so than Kincaid: The cruelest and most powerful of them all. To ensure her safe return home, Paige must strike a bargain with him.
Forty days in exchange for her freedom.
With no other option, she agrees. If Kincaid’s interest in her can help solve the riddle of her origin and aid in her escape from Elisium, she figures it’ll all be worth it.
Only, the more time she spends with Kincaid, the more the tenuous line between love and hate melts away. Soon, Paige will be forced to confront something far more disquieting than the truth of her heritage: A confusing connection with a demon that she cannot deny.
From best-selling author, Elena Lawson comes the first audiobook in an inventive new series that will thrust the reader into a world of dark temptation, deception, and desire.
Perfect for fans of L.J. Smith, Kresley Cole, and enemies-to-lovers romances. Enter the supernatural world of Fallen Cities in Kiss of the Damned today.
Note: This audiobook is part of a series and ends in a cliffhanger.

Story
I make a living out of screwing over the jerks who capture and torment supernatural beasties. But when I free a bunch of particularly powerful monsters from their cages, I'm not counting on them following me home like lost puppies - stunningly hot lost puppies, but still. These manly monsters are determined to repay me for my help, and they won't get out of my apartment, until they're satisfied we're even. There's something to be said for allies so devoted they'll tear off heads and shred souls on your behalf. I'm all for joining forces.

Story
Yesterday I was a teenager waiting tables in Manhattan, and today, monsters exist and I can see them. Overnight I’m thrown into the realm of the Watchers, a society of earthbound angels split into two factions: the Shades, whose powerful dark magic is given to them by the fallen angels, and the Lumens, whose abilities are bestowed on them by the archangels of Avalon. They’re on opposite sides of a brutal war, and I only have a few days to pick which side I want to join. I’m ready to choose when the Shades force my hand by cursing someone I love.

The days have blurred together ever since he forced his blood down my throat. This is supposed to be illegal in society, but the laws don’t apply to the Vampyre King. It doesn’t matter how much I fight him off and refuse to bend to his will despite his blood running through my veins—it only makes him want me more. Apparently, I’m an anomaly. No one has ever refused the call of a Vampyre’s blood. I try to keep my hope alive that someone will step in and right the wrongs of my injustice…. But no one does.

“Madison Kate Danvers was murdered tonight.” Those words changed my life, and not for the better. They were wrong, of course. I wasn’t dead. But I was set up. After being charged with a string of offences - and made an example of by my political-minded father - I’m eventually released back into Shadow Grove with one thing on my mind. Hate. Someone is going to pay for derailing my carefully laid-out future. How very convenient that someone just moved into the bedroom down the hall from me.

Tate is not the sort of neighbor you can ignore. Especially when he walks around half naked for all the world to see. I can't help that I got a weak spot for bad boys. But that was before I became a single mom, and I’m not so weak anymore. Besides, Tate lights my temper without even trying, and I swear he enjoys teasing me. Well, two can play at that game, and I think it’s time someone teaches him a lesson.

An Irish mobster. A missing friend. Two loyalties, ripping me apart. I had a plan. Get in, get my information, and get out. Easy, right? Turns out, infiltrating the Irish mafia isn't exactly what I thought it would be. I just wanted a soldier. Someone I could flirt with to get me in the door. That's when Lachlan Crow noticed me. Problem was, he wasn't a soldier. No, he was next in line for the throne of the Irish underworld. And he was determined to hate me from the outset.

Urban Fantasy Series Starter
Well this was wonderfully fun and I would love more now please!
Kiss of the Damned was the perfect mix of world building, character development and mystery- it also doesn't hurt that I am rooting for a romantic connection between a certain naive girl and an all powerful broody demon guy... I have read and listened to books previously by this author and been very happy with what I received and this is no exception. I blew through this in a single day because the plot progressed with great pacing and everything was just so easy for me to get lost in. The biggest problem with me reading this in a single day is that the second book in the series is not out yet and I have no idea how to cope while wondering how everything will play out next. Keep in mind, there is for sure a cliff hanger to keep you on your toes for the next book.
The narrator was a perfect choice to bring Paige to life. She nailed the perfect mix of sweet and naive with curious and resilient in her inflections, making me feel like I know Paige personally. Her other character voices were well done and distinct so I always knew who was talking, which is a requirement in my audios. I highly recommend the audiobook as an option if you are an audiobook fan- keep in mind that I listened at 2x speed which was perfect for me.
I am a super fan and I recommend this for anyone who enjoys urban fantasy, other worlds, angel and demon conflicts and a slow burn potential romance.

Kiss of the Damned
I really enjoyed Kiss of the Damned by Elena Lawson. It was a different spin on angels and demons to me. The main protagonist feels like a real person, and makes you genuinely interested in what is going on with her. In fact I was talking to her on what not to do in my head throughout the book. I the only downside to the audiobook is the narrator has a soft, slow way of speaking. Even the adrenaline inducing scenes is spoken soft and slow. It needed some stronger emotions in those scenes to convey the urgency going on. Other than that, it was great, and I’m ready to read or listen to the next book in the series.

Perfect Urban Fantasy!
Kiss of the Damned was a great listen! The story was fantastic and had some unusual background for our main character that I found very refreshing. I loved all the small hints on the story about what may be coming next, and I loved Paige!
She’s resilient and smart and a perfect match for Kincaid. Their sparks were the best kind of slow build. The world building was incredible. It was unique and captivating for a genre that can be really overloaded with the same old same.
I Really enjoyed my time in this book, and I’m definitely going to be listening to it again before the next one comes out in November and snatching that up as soon as possible.

Intriguing
This was a really good listen, the narration was excellent. I was surprised by how dark the story starts off, which made it much more compelling, I think (though those with sensitivities may find it triggering). Paige has a lot of things to work through and discover about herself and it gives the book a lot room to develop in interesting ways. The world building is also really engaging. This alternate reality is an interesting and thrilling place to visit.

This book has a new spin and angels and demons. This book was not what I thought it was going to be. To tell the truth I like that it makes you think about what could happen next. I can't wait to find out what happens next.

Diggin it
I’m really liking the start to this series! It’s your typical plot of said girl doesn’t know what she really is because she was raised as a different species, but with a few plot twists. She’s not a “kneel down and take what life gives her” kind of girl and I like that. I’m excited to see more snark and sass as she comes into who she really is!
