Publisher's summary

The Demon’s in the Detail

Can a sexy demon really spin straw into gold?

Poe Dupin, raven shifter and thief extraordinaire, is in trouble with a capital ‘T.’ Not only did he get his wing caught in the cookie jar during his latest heist, but his loser stepdad, the alpha, seems determined to run their roost into the ground. And Baltimore is many things, but forgiving is not on the list.

When his stepdad puts the roost in peril, Poe sees no choice but to bargain with Charm City’s only demon, Tommy Tittoti. Rumors are that Tommy eats the souls of those foolish enough to try. Three strikes and you’re out. But really, Poe wasn’t using his soul anyway. And if it saves his roost? Worth it.

Tommy isn’t what Poe expects. Demon - huge, horned, hairy, and scary, right? Nope. Blond, gorgeous, with a bubble butt, and a lilting drawl that beckons Poe to come play. Total hookup-app fantasy material. Even if he is a murder twink.

Poe’s no angel, but Tommy...well he’s more devil than demon. Yet, Poe just can’t seem to keep his feathers out of the fire. As one bargain turns into two, and then a third tragedy strikes the ravens, Poe finds himself falling for a guy who may very literally be the death of him. Or maybe the flames will burn them both.

The Demon’s in the Details is a fast-paced roller coaster of a romance with a guaranteed HEA and lots of steam. Shenanigans include: a gold object that is definitely not a ring, a best friend who’s trigger-happy, and a demon who’s got a few surprises up his, uh, sleeve.

Previously published in the Fables Retold Anthology. Around 60,000 words. No new content has been added.

First time with this Author

I loved everything about this book!! I laughed, I cried, i got hot and bothered...lol...I loved the play on words, from the Raven, named Poe, living in Baltimore...to the special clock in Tommy's shop. Greg did a fantastic job with this one and I will end up re listening to this one :-)

Story: 4.25⭐️
Audio: 4.5⭐️

As a very accomplished thief, raven shifter Poe is well-acquainted with living in the moral grays when it comes to protecting his roost from the consequences of their alpha’s selfishness. However, when the alpha (Poe’s stepfather) gets so far in debt there’s no way to keep the roost’s territory from the ruthless criminal, Briggs’s clutches, Poe visits the barbershop Rumpled Still: Skin, Hair, and Scalp to find the demon, Tommy. Tommy can make your dreams come true—for a price. Punishment for not paying is brutal, but Poe is desperate, and for all his scary reputation, Tommy isn’t what Poe expects. Even when Tommy’s power and pitilessness are on full display, Poe can’t fear him. However, Poe’s willingness to do anything for his roost is put to the ultimate test when he is asked to give up his most personal and precious possession to save them all.

Full disclosure, I’m a Maslow stan so I was primed to enjoy this story, and it doesn’t disappoint. To me, it’s also the best example of mirroring and honoring the fable’s core themes and archetypes, while creating a completely unique world, tone, and protagonist to the originals. I love raven shifters, and haven’t seen enough stories with them so that’s a plus as well. I also liked Maslow’s less traditional concept for alpha dynamics and powers in a roost compared to most shifters, specifically as it creates a validly insurmountable obstacle to the stepfather problem.

The chemistry between Tommy and Poe is scorching, and Maslow’s skill with creating funny, natural-sounding sarcastic dialogue and banter is a treat. Comedy is an art and not easy to create. With the increasing trend of comedy/snarkiness in paranormal and fantasy stories, I’m reading more and more forced banter and formulaic Lorne Michaels-esque humor, so I appreciate Maslow’s talent with a turn of phrase all the more. I enjoyed this alternate reality Baltimore where territories are called Neighborhoods and controlled by Rogers. At times, the scale of the world building overwhelms the story, so some elements aren’t as clearly defined as they need to be to avoid seeming like contradictions/holes, but overall a gem.

Cute romance between 2 likeable characters

Love this narrator. The story was heartfelt and cute. Nothing too great about it, but not bad.

Fast paced and entertaining...

Poe and Tommy...an interesting pair. This is a fast paced story with twists and turns and it keeps you on the edge of your seat because you really do not know what is going to happen next. The one thing that was clear from the first was that a heart/soul was abound and present...Though Poe may have been being played, it was played expertly. A great ride...

Fun and unique shifter/demon story

This is a fun and unique shifter story. Demon, raven shifter, and a crazy interesting world. Having a twinky looking demon as a main character was strange but fun. The characters defy what your brain wants to classify them as, and the unusualness is refreshing. The story leans towards fun and light rather than oppressive and dark, even though there are murders, angry awful people in authority and a nail biting plot. Great book!

Awesome

Greg Boudreaux never disappoints in his narration and I adore all of Meghan Maslow’s works. I loved Poe and Tommy! I loved that there was character growth along with the action and relationships. Tommy was always a step ahead of everyone and yet Poe could still surprise him. Definitely recommend!

Another fun one from a great writer

I can’t say enough about the narrator. I’ve never read a story that wasn’t made more brilliant than when Mr. F performed it.
And this particular story was so worth the read. I can’t wait to get lost in this universe as it grows and hope we not only get to revisit Poe and Tommy, but find out more about Bengal and Ollie and his Griffin.
