About this listen
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.

Declan can kill with a blink of his eye. Jaded and cold, he rules his kingdom the same way he does his heart—with ruthless pragmatism. So why does he risk all to protect a little mortal during a slave-trade uprising? Now stranded in the demon realm, the loss of his powers is the least of his troubles. The woman may have a frustratingly tender heart, but she has enough fire in her soul to thaw the ice in his veins.

Most schools are about being the best. This school? It's about being the worst. Calder Academy is where the rogue paranormals go. The ones who break the rules or lose control. And when that happens for vamps, werewolves, witches, and dark fae? It gets pretty freaking scary. I should know. Because I'm trapped here.

Story54
In the Virginia countryside outside of Washington, DC, Addy Wentworth was on a mission to make a new life for herself. When the opportunity arose, she settled in horse and wine country. Experiencing more than her fair share of tragedy and loss, she had plans for her future, one where failure wasn’t an option. And not just because people and cows were counting on her. She’d poured everything she had into her struggling vineyard, because once she’s in, she’s all in.

Story33
Just hours after humans are born, the gods take what little power we have. In return, they protect our borders from the vicious, merciless fae. The humans who manage to keep their power are known as the corrupt. And they are burned. When my forbidden power is discovered, I’m forced to flee my tiny village and the life I adore. To survive, I make a desperate bargain with the mercenary who abandoned me at my weakest moment. Our deal is simple: I’ll help him and his mysterious friends sneak into the city, and he’ll help me learn to wield the strange, dark power I’ve always kept hidden.

My new tutor is sexy, smart, more stubborn than I am, and 100 percent off limits. That's right - the only rule this semester is "Don't Touch the Tutor". For the first time in my life, I want someone I can't have. She's the girl who obeys every rule. I'm the guy who breaks them. Our biggest risk is falling for each other, but I live for risk...

Running to Summerpoint to avoid my failed love life may have seemed drastic, but I'd just inherited a house from a distant relative. The timing was perfect, almost like magic. But the cottage is in need of repairs, the place is in the middle of a forest, and I'm not used to small towns. Then I meet my new contractors. Sexy doesn't begin to describe them. The flirting flows easily, and while they're a well-established couple, it seems they may have room for more. Even better, these guys are quickly getting to be a lot more than just friends.

It was supposed to be easy: find the drug maker. Find her, and drag her back to the dragons to deal with. She deserves death for what she's done. For someone like Weston, the best alpha in the world, the one who shuts people up just by walking in the room, it would've been. Until he learns what she is. Finding a fated mate is nearly impossible. Very few are able to do it. But the call of their bond is unmistakable. Against all odds, and in the worst situation imaginable, he's found his true mate. Her.

Good Enough

Written by: Sarah Rees Brennan
Danika, the main female character, is everything I hope for in a lead lady: Capable, relatable, has a great sense of humor, and gas a strong moral (well, where it counts) conpass. Readers are given a glimpse into her backstory so she has depth and her actions are understandable.
Danika is pursuing answers about, and seeking justice for, her mother's murder. Her personal quest leads her to crossing paths with a high demon: Samael. He's mysterious, dangerous, and (of course!) delicious. The plot incorporates some detective sleuthing for answers, and Danika's forced bonding (as in, minion) to Samael. Her species/racial views are challenged and she's forced to reconsider life perspective.
Setting takes place in a modern world similar to that of the real world, however, portals between realms were forced open leading to development of paranormals and mythical beings entering the world. As a result, society was essentially restructured to incorporate and adapt to include demons, fae, werewolves, etc.
I don't want to say much more in order to avoid spoilers, but will say I dove into and finished book 2 before coming back here to review.
Great series start!
