Publisher's summary

I hunt demons.

I don’t work for them.

And I promised my mom one thing before she was murdered: Under no circumstances would I ever go near the high demons.

But I’ll break that promise over and over again if it helps me avenge her death.

When my only lead turns to ash in the middle of demon territory, I’m suddenly a dead witch walking. Violence in Samael’s club is an automatic death sentence…unless he can use you.

And it turns out that the most powerful demon in the country has a use for little ol’ me.

Demons are being slaughtered. His demons. And as a bounty hunter, it’s up to me to find out who would dare hurt his people.

I’ve got two weeks to find the killer, and if I fail, I’m bonded to Samael. Forever.

Samael’s certain that I’ll be his, but I’m not the kinda girl who risks her freedom for a demon.

I’m the kinda girl who won’t let anyone get in the way of her vengeance—not even the Machiavellian control freak who thinks he can run my life.

The problem? I’ve pissed the wrong people off.

Now I’m the one being hunted, and someone’s coming for me with everything they have.

But I’m never more dangerous than when my back is up against the wall.

And I’m ready to come out swinging.

Phenomenal!

I freaking love this series and I need more books and spin offs in this universe! I constantly want more Danica and Samael, their banter and relationship throughout the whole series makes me want to read all of the books over again and again! The narration is also incredible, the way she can make each character had a distinctly different voice and all done so well. I can't wait for the next book in the spin off series!

a must read for romance fans

I loved the story. First time reading author. I will recommend to others and read her other books.

Well written and solid characters

Overarching subject matter isn’t original but it’s well written and engaging. Will be buying the whole series.

Loved Danika

i loved this book. there are still so many questions but that makes sense because its only book 1 of the series.

We have our FMC Danika ( SJM really did a number on the Name Danika. I'm still wounded). She is a bounty hunter for the Mage guild and is trying to find clues to lead her to her mothers killer. A Lead she obtains leads her straight into Samael's tower. There her second lead is killed right in front of her and she has to make a deal with Samael (the leader of the demons earthside). She has to find out who is killing demons around the city, and kill them. She also only has two weeks to get it done.

I loved Samael's and Danika's dynamic. I wouldn't call it enemies to lovers. Danika clearly has a grudge against all demons. She knows one most likely killed her mother and her mother always warned her away. Samael on the other hand tells himself that he marked her to put her in her place and use her but his actions say the opposite. He's clearly taken with her. As the story progresses we see time and time again that he is constantly trying to push her so that she can be strong enough to protect herself.

I love the MCs but i also love the side characters too. Meredith (the Bar owner) seems to be very interesting even though we did not see much of her. I also love all the demons. Vas is the Best guy friend i would want and i really hope Danika and Lilith become great friends.

What i don't get is why her sister is so mad at her. Danika was 14 when her mom separated them. what did she think Danika could do? she was just a child, and three years later when Danika came back to tell her that their mother is dead, Danika was still only 17. Still a Child!!!! I don't think I'm going to like her sister very much. she seems like she's one of those people who blame everyone else around her for things instead of taking responsibility for her own actions.

The story is captivating and cant wait to continue on with the story.

Fantastic Urban Fantasy!

This is my favorite new UF series. The characters are great and the story is entertaining. It has everything- romance, mystery, action, and humor.

Great start

I really enjoyed this new world that the author has created.
The story is told in two POV, Danica and Samael. I’m really a big fan of Samael.
I liked how his character a lot.
Danica is a headstrong character that just needs to figure out some things but I think she will get there soon enough. The world building is great and I enjoyed learning how all the supernaturals plays a role. I love UF, and this one has a good plot and mystery to keep me reading. So I will definitely be picking up the next book.

Love this series!!!

I just loved the world building and the action/romance ratio. I like to see a strong heroine with a strong hero gradually breaking down her walls. The relationship is also a little more reality based and not just love at first sight. There's just the right amount of mystery and humor mixed in as well.
I have all the books on kindle as well and I love to go back to this series when I'm not ready to start something new. This series has definitely helped my TBR collection grow, because I just can't get enough!

Love this so much bought the audio

It did not let me down! The narrator was excellent. The voices different enough to be able to tell apart. The acting and emotions were on point

Love it!

Loved it! Can't wait to get the rest of the books. Great Story. Fun and exciting.

Very good

Just wish she would give Samuel a chance -judge him by his actions- but I get it- she has been told her entire life that they are the bad guys!!
