Summary

Kara Gillian is in some seriously deep trouble.

She’s used to summoning supernatural creatures from the demon realm to our world, but now the tables have been turned and she’s the one who’s been summoned. Kara is the prisoner of yet another demonic lord, but she quickly discovers that she’s far more than a mere hostage. Yet waiting for rescue has never been her style, and Kara has no intention of being a pawn in someone else’s game.

There’s intrigue to spare as she digs into the origin of the demonic lords and discovers the machinations of humans and demons alike. Kara is shocked to discover that she has her own history in the demon realm, and that the ties between her and the demonic lords Rhyzkahl and Szerain go back farther than she could have ever imagined. But treachery runs rampant among all the lords, and she’s going to have to stay sharp in order to keep from being used to further their own agendas. The lords have a secret that dates back to earth’s ancient history, and it could have devastating repercussions for both worlds.

Yet more than anything else, Kara’s abilities as a homicide detective will be put to the test - because this time the murder she has to solve is her own.

Fantastic

I usually just star rate books but this one deserves a full review. The twists and turns in this storyline were fantastic, Kara was dealt some seriously unexpected blows and while at times I was shouting at her to get a clue (she’s supposed to be a cop after all) I honestly didn’t expect the author to go as far as she did with the storyline, most stay on the side of nothing truly bad quite happens, so I have full respect for an author that can make my jaw drop. Fantastic book, great series

Awesome Read, mind blowing and sensual.

Where does Touch of the Demon rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Without question 10 out of 10, I rank Diana Rowland among the likes of Ann Rice, John Ringo, Chris Fieldwater, Kim Woods and Mary Stewart.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Touch of the Demon?

The kidnapping of Kara the detective and the switch from the villain to been a rescuer

Have you listened to any of Liv Anderson’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Liv has an awesome voice and is a great performer

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The torture of Kara, it was unexpected

Any additional comments?

Truly an awesome read.

Epic

Epic and a little over-long. If you're fully invested in the story before you start then it's good. And that will let you wade through the treacly pace!

Totally fabulous - the series is now flying

If you've just finished book 4 you will almost certainly be downloading this to see what happens next. If you haven't read book 4 go back and read the series in order !

For me the series really changes gear at this point, and changes from 10 hour books with a detective trying to solve crimes to 20 hour books with much more inter realm activity and the demonic lords suddenly becoming centre stage as our heroine has to work out who she can and cant trust as she tries to get back home. I thought this was a stunning book and one I will almost certainly return to in the future once I have finished the series .

I found this almost impossible to put down and got through the 20 hours in only 3 days which is almost unheard of for me. its a full 10 out of 10.

OK if the overall plot is a little predictable, there are certainly twists I didn't see coming and I just loved it

Liv Anderson is great as the narrator and gets more or less everything spot on

Great Story

If you could sum up Touch of the Demon in three words, what would they be?

I loved this book, it kept you on your toes, but also gave you great insight into a fantasy world, it was nice and long and I still did not want it to finish.

What did you like best about this story?

The exciting moments that stopped you from wanting to turn it off.

What does Liv Anderson bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

She brings the characters to life

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No

great

Any additional comments?

It had an interesting yet a little predictable ending, but overall was really great. I prefer the whole cop/investigator stories like this rather than all demon realm.

Book 1 was free and now I'm hooked

I have binged the the first 5 books, loving the series. Writing this review as book 6 downloads, totally worth listen. Sometimes with series it can become a bit same old and I give them a break before picking up the next one. Not with Kara, the storylines are different and she keeps me amused with her potty mouth come backs
