The same night Lady Katherine Blakely discovers just what a monster her husband is, she meets a charming stranger, a gentleman from top to toe, not a wolf in gallant evening dress as so many of them are. But even he is not all that he seems.

Lord George Draconis Thornton has returned from abroad as Earl of Melbourne. As the commander of the Dominus Daemonum, demon hunters set on earth to purge the world of creatures corrupting mankind, his mission is to expel the demon prince, Damas, back to the underworld before he corrupts his last remaining descendant. But a golden-haired beauty derails his plans. Determined to save her from an abusive marriage, he loses his way. And the price for his failure will be the greatest loss he has felt in all the centuries he has lived on earth.

Contains mature themes.

If you fancy a story ala Sansa’s from GameOfThrones, then this might work. However, I was expecting a romance and the endless victimization of Katherine, combined with her being helpless for 90% of the story, made this a depressing, and plodding, listen.

If this had been a novella, I would have enjoyed the arc about the millennia old war against demons.
But, 9 hrs of suffering to get to the last 1.5 hrs of redemption/victory made for a fantasy story as depressing as the romance.

Finally, the narrator was decent except for her pronunciation of the Big Bad, a demon by the name of Dumas, which I would have pronounced Doom-ahs and which the narrator unfortunately pronounced Dumb-ass. (I kid you not)

Mild spoilers:



Katherine is married for half the book, while subjected to her husband’s cruelties and perversions.
Then, Katherine is imprisoned for another three or four hours of book time, and a century in story time, while being subject to the cruelties and perversions of a demon. Several other women are abused too. The majority of this book, therefore, is men hurting women and demon hunters like George powerless to do anything except “save” the women from further abuse.

Endless victimization
