Publisher's Summary

Eighteen-year-old Myla Lewis is a girl who loves two things: kicking ass and kicking ass. She's not your everyday quasi-demon, half-demon, and half-human, girl. For the past five years, Myla has lived for the days she gets to fight in Purgatory's arena. When souls want a trial by combat for their right to enter heaven or hell, they go up against her, and she has not lost a battle yet.

But as she starts her senior year at Purgatory High, the arena fights are not enough to keep her spirits up anymore. When the demons start to act weird, even for demons, and the King of the Demons, Armageddon, shows up at Myla's school, she knows that things are changing and it is not looking good for the quasi-demons. Myla starts to question everything, and does not like the answers she finds. What happened 17 years ago that turned the quasi-demons into slave labor? Why was her mom always so sad? And why won't anyone tell her who her father is?

Things heat up when Myla meets Lincoln, the High Prince of the Thrax, a super sexy half-human and half-angel demon hunter. But what does a quasi-demon girl to do when she falls for a demon hunter? It's a good thing that Myla is not afraid of breaking a few rules. With a love worth fighting for, Myla is going to shake up Purgatory.

Goofy Narrator and way, way too long

Audiobook was really bad, narrator had the voice of the MC down, sure, but made everyone else sounds incredibly stupid, especially Cissy who sounded like a vapid valley girl and the Big Bad, Armegeddon who sounded like a laughing bad guy from a Looney Toon show.
Plus, the book was way way too long and spent much too much time on things unrelating to demon fighting arena or main plot (ie drama with her best friend and friend's new bf, flashbacks to mum's past not important to plot and MC trying to fit in with noble ladies) and everything just seemed to take ages to happen.
additionally, some of the phrases were repetitive
Same because the world, magic system, demon-fighting and main character were really cool and the blurb had me excited for a fun, action-packed read, but was disappointed.

I really really loved this book. and also enjoyed that the author read it. only a creator truly knows how each characters personality is really meant to come across. I look forward to reading more.

Just that bad.

The writer should never have read this book . I would hope her friends don't use the same tone with her, as Sissy does with Mila. The voice for Zeek was so bad. Her mothers voice was alway whingy even when mad.

The story line was there but not for a 16 or 18 old. It seemed one minute she was a 10 year old and the next maybe a 14 year old. Maybe that was just the way the story was read.

I won't be getting the next book in the series. This one was just to painful to listen to. I don't like writing bad reviews. This was just my personal perception of the book. Maybe you might like it. Just be prepared for your ears to hurt after listening.

Fantastic Story!

What an amazing find! I love the way this world is set up and just Love, Love, LOVE the characters! The other thing I loved is how the author is also the narrator. Such a brilliant performance and story. it made me laugh out loud, cry and then feel all warm and fuzzy in the space of 1 chapter. I HIGHLY recommend giving this book a read...or listen...whatever... Thanks for the Journey! xx

Really enjoyable

This story was very different to the usual magic/vampire/wolves stories I usually listen to and it’s all the better for it. It’s really creative with a wide array of beasts and beings and written and narrated in a way that really stimulates my imagination and is also really funny. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and will be buying the next in the series any moment, I really hope the author sticks to narrating her books herself, she does an awesome job. 🐨
