About this listen

Alex Carlisle owes a debt beyond cash. Once upon a time - all of three months ago - Alex found himself in a foreign land hunted by mercenaries and demon lords. Only the intervention of a sultry, playful jinn got him home again. Zafirah didn't help him for free. Now she's come to collect.

With her sights set on a dangerous family of ancient sorcerers, Zafirah needs every edge. She needs not only Alex, but the friends and lovers he brings with him. Her quest threatens to extract a price from angel, demon, and mortal alike...and most especially the witch who brought them all together.

Another hit

I absolutely loved the first book. The second was story focused and pretty good. This 3rd book is poor, lacking a logic to the story and focused on graphic sex.

The story is great and fantastically fills in a lot of blank spots that were seeded years ago, My main issue with this book is that characters aren't consistent with who they were in past books. Alex is and always has been a well written SJW, Rachel shares his values but has the chains of heaven holding her back. Lorelei was cold to Alex's concerns but thawed as the series progressed. His friends (Witches included) back him when it's called for, but stop him when he crosses a line. Ideologically they were a mixed bag but not in this book. When it came to sharing their values they have become a hivemind. This heavily impacts Alex because their picking away at his core character trait. And weakened their interactions with new characters, as they all made the same kind of talking points regardless of who they were talking to. As I said the story is a great continuation. Focusing a heavily eluded to connect between Onyx and Alex. With a wonderful and horrible gothic tale involving a family of immortals.

TL:DR The story itself was really good. Supporting characters have been stripped of their diversity of thought or opinion.

Good Story, Poor Characterization.
