About this listen

USA Today bestselling author Devon Monk's fast, gritty, magic-fueled urban fantasy adventure. Enemies-to-brothers, Life magic vs. Death magic, end of the world, no holds barred action.

Shamus "Shame" Flynn is a Death magic user with a smart mouth and a bad attitude. His job riding a desk while keeping an eye on the city's humdrum magic users isn't making his mood any better.

Sure, the most dangerous magic was locked away for good three years ago, but that doesn't mean people have stopped trying to access the old, deadly powers.

Shame isn't trying to access the deadly powers, because he already found a loophole. He can break magic and make it just as powerful as it used to be—as long as he gets the cooperation of goody-good Life magic user, Terric Conely.

Terric Conley has devoted his life to enforcing magical laws, and he's not about to change now. Besides, breaking magic will only lead to disaster, and he refuses to be a part of Shame's death wish.

But when dark government forces and an assassin bent on revenge align to kill the people Shame and Terric care about, there is only one choice left. Break magic, pay the price, and hunt the killers all the way to hell and back again.

I like most of the Devin Monk’s stuff, generally interesting and fun. Engaging usually. I’ve never been so bored with a possibly interesting story. I don’t know if it’s bc this is a departure generally, the male lead, or whatever. But I couldn’t bring myself to care about any of the characters in the first few chapters. Maybe I just don’t like noir BS, but honestly, this is …… boring.

Noir detective done boring
