About this listen

Dark lord, demon spawn, prophesied realm destroyer. With a demon for a father, Damien Maleficus Bloodthorne’s destiny could be nothing but nefarious, and with the completion of his most vicious spell, Damien is on the cusp of fulfilling the evil inevitability all of his dark machinations have led to. And then, her—bubbly, obnoxious, blonde.

Harboring secrets of her own, a tiny yet troublesome thief calling herself Amma completely upsets Damien’s malevolent plans when she mistakenly gets chained to his side through magic, forcing him to drag her across the realm. Killing her would fix things, of course, but the nauseatingly sweet Amma proves herself useful on Damien's unholy crusade and then proves herself the source of something even more sinister: feelings.

Will Damien be forced to abandon his villainous birthright to help the tender thorn in his side? Or will he manage to overcome the virtue Amma insists on inspiring and instead cut it out at the heart?

This book was very easy to listen to and follow. It was funny, lighthearted mostly, and a slow burn romance for slightly older YA readers I would say. It very clearly parodied typical fantasy tropes without taking itself too seriously. If you like Swordheart, you would probably like this. The narration was very impressive! In fact Ellen Quay blew me away, she was very good. Now going to listen to the next one…

Funny fantasy romance read very well

fun start, it takes a long time to get super fun but super worth it. I had some issues with the narration tone of Damien.

lovely but sometimes the voice do not match as well

A light fantasy with comedy to spare, the lore is a bit hard to follow but not too many detours on their quest!

Slow burn but funny

It took me about 3 minutes to get used to the style of narration and then I utterly fell in love. Fun, funny and thrilling with a healthy dose of swoon!!

Bloody fantastic

This was a delight to listen to! Love the main characters and the slow burn, and the humour and self-awareness of the genre while still having a plot and characters you care about. Also great performances!

Delightful Fantasy RomCom!

I truly think the narrators do a phenomenal job with this book because they really bought it to life. This book was so much fun and like my title suggests, excellent, excellent banter. Absolutely the epitomy of grumpy sunshine and really well done. I can't wait for the next one.

Excellent Banter

I love the premise of this story, and looking forward to getting the next one. Just one gripe - I love the male narrator's tone and deep voice, however his English accent is lacking. If they wanted Damien to have an English accent, would it not have been better to hire an English narrator? Again, love the guy's voice anyway and he really has a knack for reading this kind of thing, but just needs to work on the accent.

Funny and engaging

I enjoyed this book a lot. It was funny and charming it gave T. Kingfisher vibes. I alternated between the audio & ebook, the narrators did a wonderful job of bringing the story to life and their voices suited the two main characters of the book.

A great story & the narrators did a fabulous job
