About this listen

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, and 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.

Featuring Laura C. Harris, Gabriel Michael, Nhea Durousseau, Shanta Parasuraman, Wyn Delano, Bradley Foster Smith, Colleen Delany, Daniel Llaca, Elena Anderson, James Konicek, Karen Novack, Ken Jackson, Matthew Pauli, Michael John Casey, Zeke Alton, Richard Rohan, Scott McCormick and Yasmin Tuazon.

Critic reviews

"Laura C. Harris takes on the role of mortal Rowan--aka Mortana, the succubus--in this full-cast performance.... Listen carefully for sounds of beating wings interspersed with fire magic." (AudioFile)

not for me

I'm sure for a younger age group this would be great unfortunately this just didn't do it for me

Loved it

I didn't expect to like this as much as I did. the voices took a minute to adjust to but once I did I was OBSESSED.

Good World Building, Predictable Story

I found myself guessing plot points quite easily throughout, but that could be the fact I have read enough fantasy now to guess!

I also loved the lead female's "Mortana" voice acting, but her "Rowan" voice acting a bit... text-to-speech (?). And although the male lead makes a great effort doing an English accent, I started to find it really jarring as an English listener. Could they not have hired an actual English narrator?

Overall the story has great plot points, and some great world building... but the chemistry between Rowan and Orion was missing for me honestly.

About a 3/5 spice level... and it's mostly in one scene... the rest kinda feels a bit YA.

YA with The Count of Monte Cristo aftertaste

I'm just too old for this 😀. The whole book felt shallow - the storyline, the Heroine, the Hero, the secondary characters. There is nothing to recommend it. But if you are after light paranormal romance, it is OK. I feel really bad about criticizing somebody's hard work. Most probably, I'm just not the right audience for it.
