Summary

I never thought I'd be singing happy birthday to myself in a dungeon. And yet when a sinfully sexy demon crashes happy hour, that's exactly what happens. He’s known as the Lord of Chaos, he’s mistaken me for my succubus doppelgänger.

Happy birthday to me.

When he tastes my blood, he finally understands I’m mortal. And I realize we have something in common: We both crave revenge. So we make a deal: I can stay in the forbidden city to hunt for my mom's killer. In return, I’ll help him get the vengeance he craves. I just have to pose as a sexy succubus. One problem - he's my number one suspect.

And that’s increasingly hard to remember as he teaches me my role: seduction. With each heated touch I drift further into peril. And if I fall under his seductive spell, death awaits me.

"I flew through this book.... Hot demon lord - check. Action - check. Romance - check. And there's spice! If you love my books, you definitely want to read this one." (Laura Thalassa)

I can't seem to like this one

I'm on chapter 9 in audible and the story so far has dragged I was expecting something spellbinding enthralling from all the 5star reviews I though finally a good audible story to get into. Sadly it was just meh. The idea for the plot had a lot of potential but it was just missing everything for me. The narrator was good as the female lead but as soon as she did the male voice it threw me out of context with any plot I was trying to follow. The British accent sounded pretty bad. Won't bother finishing thanks again audible for another boring romance.

Wow!

What a book I loved Rowan and her quirks and even though she was locked up in a prison awaiting death she still was funny. Orion has a blood vow to kill Mortana and all her family when he sees Rowan he’s convinced she is Mortana. Loved how the story progressed and left you wondering if she really is Mortana even when everything unfolded you are still not sure if she is or not.

Stunning

What an epic adventure, so many twists and turns in this demon world, will Rowan survive long enough to accomplish her task? Or will the demons put a stop to it?

Such a stunning story, that is unlike any others. Can’t wait to see what comes next for Rowan and Orion.

Omg, This Book Has It All!😍🗝

The voice performance is excellent. It keeps you on the edge of your seat, along with the story. The world is conveyed beautifully as is the steam & hotness of the characters!🔥

My word the hurt & stress of finding out certain possibilities is heart wrenching. This was masterful, I can not wait for book #2.🌟

Surprisingly good

I wasn’t sure if this was going to be any good as I feel I’ve read the same story multiple times. However, I thought it was an easy listen and I enjoyed it but I have a feeling I have read it before. Is that because I have and forgotten or is it just because it’s like other books I’ve read. If you like fantasy romance with angst and you feel like an easy read his book is for you.

Not her best

I’ll be honest, I fell asleep about half way through when it felt like all the story involves is waiting for them to get it on. It’s a little smuttier than some of her other books (sucubi and all that) and when I woke up it didn’t feel like if missed much plot wise (not a great sign). It does pick up towards the end, but doesn’t feel like the story advances enough to justify being a separate book (a pet peeve of mine). I will try Book 2 to see if the two together feel like a full story, but overall it’s a little underwhelming. The narration is good
