About this listen

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Mercy Thompson series (Frost Burned, Night Broken) and the Alpha and Omega novels (Fair Game, Dead Heat)

Sham had spent most of her young life as a sorceress and thief, stealing from Southwood’s nobility to survive. Now she must face the greatest test of her skills…

A killer has struck Southwood, claiming the lives of nobles. Lord Kerim, Reeve of Southwood, turns to Sham for help. Posing as his mistress, she delves behind castle walls to find the killer. But this murderer is no mortal—and Sham must use all of her magical wisdom to send the demon away. Because the city of Southwood has nowhere to hide—and no time to run…

A fantastical mystery at its best

A nice addition to the series with an excellent mystery mixed in. It's one of Patricia Brigg's earlier works and it shows in some parts, but it's one of my favorite authors and an excellent book overall.

Demons indeed

The story is complex but gripping. You don't want to stop - just keep going. Lots of twists and turns to keep the reader interested. If you like mythology and romance, this read is for you.

Criminally Exquisite

This book could easily be the best in this series; a stand alone. It is criminal in the way its characters distract, manipulate, and cajole… A total joy to read; I couldn’t put it down for fear of losing something!

Highly recommend for every reader, of all ages!

The best of this series

I really do believe that this is the best book of this series. Conqueror vs defeated. Good vs. evil, prejudism vs. love. Truly excellent work by Patricia Briggs.

Another Wonderful Tale!

A new story told wounderfully, I just love this author. The main character is a spunky soul with some amazing adaptability in acting. I enjoy the way she moves through the different characters she has to portray.

When Demons Walk

I read this book numerous times. It never gets old. I’m new to audiobooks and was very pleased with the narration of this book. Truly well done!

Great book, but not about Rialla...

This was a great book, but it wasn't about Rialla. Rialla wasn't even in this book. I was greatly disappointed when I first started this book, expecting Rialla. Only to be surprised, when it started talking about a thief named Sham. The book is still great, but because of the description I was extremely disappointed.

Love the series

Would you consider the audio edition of When Demons Walk to be better than the print version?

about the same. I love the book, and the audio As a audio newbie I've always thought that reading the book is better than listening to someone read it out. In some cases I'd have to say that's the case - some Robin Mckinley stuff is dull, dull, dull in audio when I loved the book - but this isn't the case here. I'd recommend to anyone.

What about Jennifer James Bradshaw’s performance did you like?

Nothing specific. I've listened to her other recordings for this series and for Raven's Strike and enjoy listening to her.
