A Beginner's Guide to Mistakenly Summoned Demons and Other Misadventures

Demonic Disasters and Afterlife Adventures, Book 2

By: Shannon Mae

Narrated by: Kirt Graves, Cooper North

Gabriel

Mistakenly summoning a lust demon was not on Gabe's to-do list, but with a meddling grandmother, he's gotten used to the unexpected. The real trouble begins when Gabe realizes exactly who he's summoned. What's a guy supposed to do when an Infernal King of Hell has decided he's staying and wants to follow Gabe around like a stray puppy? Add having a job as a teacher, living in a family of meddlers, and dealing with a bureaucratic underworld, and Gabe is about ready to lose his patience. When the Prince of Lust decides he's going to help Gabe figure out his sexuality, though, things really start to get interesting. Maybe mistakenly summoning a demon wasn't the worst thing to happen after all.

Asmodeus

Asmodeus has dealt with humans and their lust since they were first created, and he has never met someone immune to his powers. So when he's forcibly summoned (which should be impossible), and he realizes he has no power whatsoever over the human (which hasn't happened before), he's more than a little intrigued. No way is he going back to hell when he's found such a mystery. When he realizes that Gabe is confused about his own sexuality, Az happily decides to help him figure it out. Who better than a lust demon for the job, after all? If Az happens to get slightly obsessed with his human in the process, who's going to tell him he can't keep the guy? Now Az just needs to convince Gabe that keeping a lust demon around forever is the perfect plan.

Includes a bonus story, " A Beginner's Guide to the Care and Feeding of Demons."

liked this one more than the first one

this one was quite good! I could tell the author had improved between the writing of these series. Its a fun read I actually liked the novella the most

Fantastic Series

I loved this story with Gabe and Az. Both characters are just perfect for each other. Narration is fabulous. My only complaint is that I wish the main stories were longer. It’s nice that there are extra stories included to make them longer in total time, but I think I’m used to TJ Klune’s books that are sometimes almost 20 hours listening time, which, to me, is awesome. Regardless, I love this series. Can’t wait for the next one!

Loved It

Gabe and Asmodeus make a great couple. The storyline was different to the first book but just as fun and entertaining. And we got to see the design of more stories to come. I can’t wait!!


I also loved the bonus story at the end, Care and Feeding of Demons (book 3 but it’s a novella which is why I’m assuming it’s included)

The story was so cute. Beel is an adorable demon frog and Jon is a cute pet shop owner. Together they end up being adorable soulmates.

So Freaking Cute!

Gabriel and Asmodeus have an absolutely charming dynamic in this fun little campy story about a slightly sheltered boy finding his footing and coming out of his shell as he interacts with and starts forming a relationship with a lust demon. There's interfering family up the wazoo, but they mean well. This low-angst story has a fun and dramatic couple who find their footing with each other and with the world. Graves and North knock it out of the park once again in this sequel, giving a truly wonderful performance that compliments the story and characters perfectly. A wonderfully sweet listen.

Fun and Sweet

This series is adorable and full of demon love. I finished a very heavy mystery and needed something light and funny. This was perfect. Excellent narration!

Fabulous

This is a great story with interesting characters. The narration is wonderful. I loved the bonus story at the end!

love it!

this one is better than the first book! I also really love that they actually said something about the names of the Devil and God. Lucifer isn't actually his name and I think in the first book they say something about that not being his actual name, but he just goes with it. And God's actually name is in here and I love it! I love the main characters as well! I really love these books! 10/10 will read again!
