Demon's Bride

Crescent Coven Series, Book 1

By: Leigh Miller

Narrated by: June deBorahae, Joshua Macrae

In a bargain between realms, the demon king only wants one thing—her.

The Witch

This must be a mistake. There's no way the Goddess chose me to be a demon's bride.

I barely have any magick, and certainly not enough to repair the bargain between witches and demons that's kept both our realms stable for centuries.

But Eren is… nothing like I expected. Something about him calls to me. Tempts me. And he looks at me like no one else ever has—like I'm strong and worthy. Like he wants to keep me, cherish me… and sink those wicked, wicked fangs of his into me.

The Demon

Allison Hawthorn is mine. My fate. My bride. My mate.

Mine to keep.

The magick that witches have brought to the demon realm for centuries is failing, and as High King, it's my responsibility to see it repaired. I just never expected… Allie. My soul recognizes her immediately, and in a life stained by grief, I've ached for her before I ever met her.

Now that she's here, I'll do anything to protect her, even as the fast-failing bargain threatens both of our realms and will separate us forever if we can't figure out a way to renew the magick.

Intended for mature listeners.

Steamy

Wow wow wow I kinda hope another book comes out going into the first which overall I loved it. I will absolutely be listening to this again….and again

story was good but narration was eh

I hated the male narrator and wish this was performed in duet narration. The spice could've been better.

Could have been 200 pages shorter

The story was okay but the basis of the problem and the resolution was probably 1/2 the book the other 1/2 was just the main characters sleeping together in different places and different ways. By the third or fourth time I was skipping ahead just to get the book to move along. The performances were great I also like the female voice better than the male but appreciated the change in performance to match the point of view.

Disappointed

90% of the book is "bedroom" and 10% story. I'm disappointed that I can't sink into the story because the main characters get it on ever moment they can.

Story

Male voice was really gravely but the female voice went well with the story. I felt the story was steamy and well written. I enjoyed listening.

Great story

Story was excellent!! Not as spicy as other books but I wasn’t missing it much honestly. It kept me wanting to keep listening. Can’t wait to read the next

If whiney insecure inner dialogue is interesting

If whiney insecure inner dialogue is interesting to you and drummed up conflict over things a kind and sensible conversation could solve, then go for it. I think it's supposed to be relatable? We all have things we don't like about ourselves, however that is not what makes us interesting, nor does it our female MC. Liked the concept and world building. Writing is well done. Narrators good, but I regret the credit and won't finish.

Great Book!

It was a nice light listen/read for a book. But I definitely loved the storyline .

Slow to start. Lots of sex. Little engagement elsewhere.

Steamy scenes were plentiful, but as a listener they were disconnected from the overall story. I just didn’t care about the outcome. The stakes across the board were really low and I wasn’t engaged. Female narrator was excellent. The male did well overall with his narration but was ultimately mis-cast in this role; his voice just did not match the character and it was a major point of disconnection. I’ve enjoyed other titles from this author, but for me this was a credit I wish I still had in my virtual pocket.

Excellent performance

I can’t believe I waited so long to read the Demon’s Bride after reading and loving Leigh’s other books (Monster’s Manor, Nora’s Kraken, Kenna’s Dragon, The Orc from Accounting) Nora’s Kraken was also recently released in audio so I cannot wait to re-read that one soon too. Demon’s Bane (second in the Crescent Covent series after Demon’s Bride) was just released in ebook and I’m going to run and start that immediately!!
