About this listen

Dark lord, demon spawn, prophesied realm destroyer. With a demon for a father, Damien Maleficus Bloodthorne’s destiny could be nothing but nefarious, and with the completion of his most vicious spell, Damien is on the cusp of fulfilling the evil inevitability all of his dark machinations have led to. And then, her—bubbly, obnoxious, blonde.

Harboring secrets of her own, a tiny yet troublesome thief calling herself Amma completely upsets Damien’s malevolent plans when she mistakenly gets chained to his side through magic, forcing him to drag her across the realm. Killing her would fix things, of course, but the nauseatingly sweet Amma proves herself useful on Damien's unholy crusade and then proves herself the source of something even more sinister: feelings.

Will Damien be forced to abandon his villainous birthright to help the tender thorn in his side? Or will he manage to overcome the virtue Amma insists on inspiring and instead cut it out at the heart?

An All Time Favorite

Terrible cover, great story. It's light and funny, but surprisingly compelling in its plot. This is one of those stories I turn to when I need something less serious. excellent narration.

Cute enemies to lovers story

This is a cute and tongue in cheek story with a slow build. I’m ready for the second book.

Unexpected

Tbh I judged the book by its cover and despite it being recommended by apps multiple times, I didn’t pick it up (wasn’t a fan of the art style tbh. Really don’t like the cover).
Then, on a whim I started it on Spotify, ran out of hours, and had to buy credits to finish the book. Really enjoyed it. I like the female narrator a lot. She did really well. The man was good too.
Now I gotta buy the sequel lmao

Top tier fantasy romance

This book series has been on my mind since I first read it a little over a year ago, so I was really excited to check out the audiobook and relive the story. And it’s great! I like both of the narrators a lot.

The story itself is kind of the perfect light fantasy romance. It tackles some more sad/real topics but for the most part it is lighthearted. It is a true romance in that you really feel that the lead characters actually fall in love. Not just lust (though there is a good amount of that). It’s a sweet, silly, heart-wrenching love story set in a fun fantasy world. My favorite books 💜

This book gives me 😍

I loved this story so much I preordered the next two already. The “villain” is a complete gentleman, except when he’s deliberately trying to be bad. He won’t kiss the heroine when she’s drunk, but he will unleash an undead army on her enemies.

This was cute! Stressful at times...

This was fun and very well written. I giggled, laughed, swooned. This read like a more mature Disney movie. The voice actors did an amazing job putting you there too. perhaps one of the best vocal performances I've heard on audible!
This was gearing up to be a 5 star read but I was left a bit annoyed with all the edging and miscommunication the last three hours on why Amma needed the scroll. I could already deduce what assault Amma experienced but I was waiting for the context on how that scroll played in and why that scroll warranted such life and death attempts and fear from explaining on her part. The sentences being cut right before the explanation, the "it's too long to get into"s, Her wanting Damien to control her to force the explanation out because she was too afraid to explain it herself.... It was all a bit dramatic for a scroll she couldn't even read. I really disliked extending their miscommunication just so the last 30 minutes of the book could be more exciting. I felt the ending could have been more exciting AND heartwarming if Damien knew in the beginning why she needed the scroll.
I enjoyed this title but I'm a little weary to go into the next book because I feel like there's going to be more miscommunication. But since it didn't really affect their relationship, just was stressful to listen to, I'll give it a go!

Cute, Funny, Adorable

Good for if you’re wanting something not super serious. The characters grow on you. The situations are funny, having me laugh out loud. Can’t wait to start the next one!
