A stolen amulet. The demon hellbent on getting it back. And one powerless human just trying to survive the night.
When Jamie summons a demon in a Hail Mary attempt to survive a ghoul attack, he quickly realizes that he’s bitten off more than he can chew. With a soul-debt to pay and an angry warlock on his heels, Jamie must steal back the coveted amulet before time runs out. Unfortunately, his life isn’t the only thing hanging in the balance, and in the fight to save his soul, Jamie just might lose his heart.
How to Survive a Summoning is a paranormal short story that was first published in the Fated Mates Charity Anthology in September of 2023. The story content has not been altered.

I like to listen to books I've already read, but this one jumped out at me, and I jumped straight in!
I loved this!!
It's only short, some 120 pages/ 3 hours and 6 minutes listening time, but it packs a powerful punch!
We jump straight into Jamie being chased by a ghoul, after he broke into the house guarded by the ghoul. He summons Lyn, using a stolen amulet. But Lyn wants their amulet back, so he can be free of Jamie. That is, until they touch. Now Lyn wants to free Jamie from the warlock who has him shackled.
Like I say, LOVED this. It's a bit scary, a bit funny. It's got some dark moments, and some much lighter ones. It's got violence, quite graphic in palces, but I think it really is needed to show how scared Jamie is of the warlock and his minions. (They had a proper name and creature title, but I couldn't get it, so minions they are!) I loved that Lyn is really NOT how they appear. Given the fact that Lyn is a demon, they do not come across as very demon-y. Until Jamie is threatened, that is, and then Lyn unleashes they true form. Granted, they still come across as LYN, with all their sass and humour, but the demon is a bad ass, and I loved that surprise!
What I loved most about this, though, was how almost CLEAN it is, on the smexy times! I mean, the whole book takes place over pretty much 24 hours, and it's hard to pack so much in a short listen, but I don't this was let down by the lack of smexy times, AT ALL! Jamie and Lyn do get their moment, yes, but its all off page, faded very much to black, and I really did love that.
Only one thing could of made this better, and that was if Lyn had been given a say. But I'm just greedy like that and it's my review and I always want more!
Nick Newport narrates.
First I've listened of this narrator. A quick looks shows me more for me to get my teeth into, just as soon as credits allow. I loved the narration here. Newport gets across all of Jamie's fear of Cyrus and the minions. All of his growing attraction and feelings for Lyn. Lyn's voice is perfect for them. But again, the emotion comes across in Newport's voice for Lyn, and you feel for them both.
I can't really fault this, bar me being greedy so it can only get:
5 stars across the board!
*same worded review will appear elsewhere
absolutely brilliant!
