Sacrificed in Shadow

The Ascension Series, Book 1

By: SM Reine

Narrated by: Kate Udall

Sometimes, you need a demon to fight demons.

Lincoln Marshall is a small-town deputy with a very big problem. Six members of his church have been found dead, killed by a rogue werewolf. He'll have to make a deal with the Devil to save victims that have gone missing - maybe literally. Elise Kavanagh, preternatural investigator and exorcist, is the expert when it comes to violent deaths at the jaws of evil. She's also among the most powerful demons that Hell has spawned.

Elise jumps at Lincoln's case, and it's not just because of his down-home charm. Someone's laid a trap for her in Northgate, and she wants to find out who. She'll have to team up with Rylie Gresham, Alpha of the last surviving werewolf pack, to figure out who's trying to blame the murders on werewolves. Only together can they stop the killings - and uncover the secrets buried in Northgate.

JUST GETS BETTER & BETTER

James is the biggest waste of breath, WTH! And does no one notice Elise takes a beating like no other to save everyone over & over. Could anyone just give her a break & appreciate her for a change sheesh!!

loved!

I really love and to story. It kept me coming back and listening and listening. The characters where great and lease is super deep and really fun to listen to.

My first SM Reine, not my last!

I really enjoyed this, but I wouldn't call it a light read. It's gritty and sometimes violent. It's also sexy. I found it very well written for this genre. It held my interest to the end.

Elise is a demon, or at least she was made into a demon when she was drafted into the war between Heaven and Hell. She has a good heart, despite her powers and inclinations, and I liked her. She works as an exorcist and has been invited by law enforcement to investigate a paranormal murder. People in the town are going missing, and at least one has been found ripped apart by werewolves.

There are witches, sorcerers, werewolves, and others. Reference is made to organizations that populate other series written by Reine -- books I haven't read, but I wasn't lost. I look forward to reading the next book in this series, and in fact, I hope Audible gets the whole series, and that Kate Udall narrates them all. She brought a dark tone to the story that made it even better.

Interesting

Interesting listen from a unique character'a perspective. The story is dark but attention grabbing. The narrator did a good job.

interesting

Was looking for something after mortal instruments. Good but not as good, wish there was another great series out there like MI or the hollow series by Kim Harrison

ughh!

I couldn't get into it:( I really wanted to. I tried. but narrator's voice didn't change for characters well. And story just seemed blah. sorry
