Where Exorcists Cannot Lie

By: Kasia Bacon

Narrated by: Rowan Scott

Tazãr Bao, an expert Exorcist for the Guild of Magic, is about to have his world turned upside down. Yet again. When Tazãr enters a sanctuărium for the Mages to receive a restorative spiritual energy treatment, he is reunited with the last person he ever expected to encounter—an Alpha Demon, Inuel Morhh, the one who’d left Tazãr with a shattered heart two years prior. Can Tazãr find the strength to trust Inuel again? Can he forgive him? Will being thrown together in a place where they can’t revert to lies help them make sense of their past and build a future?

Where Exorcists Cannot Lie is a second chance, forced proximity romantasy that follows a petite Exorcist Mage and an Alpha Demon with a penchant for kittens.

Loved it

This story was so good. I am captivated by the stories I have read set in this universe. I think this one is my favorite so far. Taz and his alpha demon have a complicated history but second chances can be magical. I absolutely adored this book and the narrator did a good job of burning them to life.

great narration

This was an interesting story for me. The prologue was extremely long, but it provided the needed back story for this short story. Enjoyed the two MCs and their interactions. I think this is my first Rowan Scott narration and really enjoyed their cadence to this story.

Unique storyline!

This is a unique storyline and I absolutely loved the twist towards the end of the book.

Intriguing Narration for Meh

This is the first book I have listened to with Rowan Scott and I cannot wait to find more of his work. The narration was crisp and clean, yet kept you on your toes.

I am not sure if it was the length of the book or the overall story but truly, this story was too short, not enough world building and not quite enough connection between the MCs. It was easy to feel the emotions of the of the two beings but I never quite felt a connection with Inuel and Taz. Their intimate moments were brief and while interesting were not all that exciting. I am glad that they did talk once they are reunited but truly this story fell flat and the greatest asset to the story is Ro

“Nothing. Says. I love you. Like. Warm. Fried dough."

*Audiobook update: I'm so glad Kasia Bacon decided to release this in audio. I just finished listening and I loved it. Rowan Scott did an amazing job with the narration. This is the first book I've listened to narrated by him and I look forward to more.

*3/9/24 ebook review: This is only the third story I've read by Kasia Bacon and the second book set in the Order universe. I recently read The Mutt, book 1 in the series The Order. This universe is so interesting that I was intrigued and wanted more. Both stories were quick reads, with fully fleshed out stories. I especially loved the glossary, it's always nice to have more detail about a made up world which only exists in the mind of this author and the pages of the book.

I can't wait to see what the author has in store for these two guys after stating that she's taken a shine to them. Just a little teaser to keep us coming back for more.

Opposites attract, second chances, forced proximity, insta lust

I need more!

Did I know this was going to be a sort of short read/listen compared to my usual? Yes. Do I want more of their antics and stories? Also yes!

Kasia is a masterpiece for creating this story full of magic, history and love. I was enthralled since minute one and by the end I became the Zuko meme of “this can’t be it” because I wanted so much more. 10/10 can say that I’ll be delving into more Kasia’s books in the future!

AND DONT GET ME STARTED ON ROWAN SCOTT AND HIS SMEXY ACCENT!!! His portray of both Tazãr and Inuel were so freaking perfect, I finished this in minus nothing!!! It really brought the story and feelings to life in such a majestic way. Beautifully done! Can’t wait to see what other works I can read/listen from them.

If you’re looking for a relatively short read full of magic and paranormal, with a sprinkle of smut, this is the book for you! 10/10 recommend!
