About this listen

Samantha Martin is an imp, enjoying an extended vacation from Hel. All she wants to do is drink beer by the pool, play mischievous pranks on the humans, and get her hot neighbor in the sack. It's a relaxing break from her infernal home as long as she manages to avoid the angels, who won't hesitate to execute her on sight.

But when her naughty hellhound lands her in trouble with the local werewolf pack, Sam is blackmailed into helping track and catch a killer. The steps she must take to appease the werewolves will put her right in the crosshairs of the angels. And with angels, there is no second chance.

What a great character! Our heroine is a smart mouthed imp who has set up a comfortable life, away from the unpleasantness of hell. All she really wants is to remain under the radar, play with her horses who hate her and lust after her neighbour. Unfortunately, fate has other ideas, and an obligation to a werewolf sees her comfortable life shot out from under her.

With her trademark sarcasm and penchant for trouble, she finds herself having to ally with an angel, whose job it is to send her back to the fiery pits, to track down a rogue angel who's gone batty. Another twist of fate ends up linking them, an unpleasant experience for both.

The narrator speaks so slowly that I had to increase the speed t listen to it. Very strange. Once I did this, the narration was bearable and the story was fantastic.

Good start to the series

Firstly to start the story was slow and the narrator annoying but after several attempts at listening I decided to stick with it and it did pick up and I got used to the narrator speaking like an alien! So much so I actually have it 4 stars and will buy the next book Still rubbish narrator! Lol

Slow start gets better

What did you like best about A Demon Bound? What did you like least?

I really liked the original storyline in particular the main character Sam
I really disliked the performance of the narrator who did her best to ruin the book with the worst narration I have ever heard.

How could the performance have been better?

It couldnt be any worse - - but reading without misplaced pauses, differentiating between different voices and putting some expression into the narration would be a good start

If this book were a film would you go see it?

yes

Any additional comments?

worth sticking with it - its really quite amusing and has a good original storyline and if you can stick it out the second book in the series is even better - even the narration though not great is much better

Decent book dreadful narration

This book was such a fantastic breath of fresh air with distinctly unique characters and ideas. This book goes to show that demons aren't always bad and angels aren't always good. I really loved that Sam is not your typical heroine in the story. She isn't bound by social norms and morals the way the average human is. I thought Debra Dunbar did a fantastic job at writing Sam as neither good nor evil, but just someone who does what they like simply because it's fun. Debra clearly put a lot of consideration into the mindset of a demon to really allow for the reader to like Sam despite the fact she doesn't think or behave like a human.

I was a little torn on the narration though. Angela Rysk has a fantastic, expressive voice and I feel she portrays Sam and her quirkiness perfectly. She also does a great job at narrating the other characters too. My only issue was that sometimes there was no distinction between Sam's inner thoughts and when she was speaking to other characters. It was sometimes hard to tell right away when the dialogue stopped and the narration started and visa versa. There was also some unnecessarily long pauses between characters when they spoke to each other. I do however still look forward to hearing her narrate the rest of the series.

Different and refreshing
