Enslaved to a demon queen, Mishetsumephtai “Mist” is bound to her and serves as her hunter – it is his job to track down rogue demons and drag them back to hell. He was sent to find Ash and his brothers, but when he did, instead of taking them back he makes a deal with them and now he is staying with them and taking a much needed break from his duties. He is in a corner store buying ice cream for Ash’s mate Eva, when he meets Lily. Instantly he is captivated and will do anything to possess her. Unfortunately, Mist’s mistress isn’t willing to let him go, and choices will have to be made. Can Mist break the brand that is tying him to hell and find true happiness with Lily or is he doomed to hunt forever?
Blood-born witches, Lily Donovan and her twin sister Iris moved to Montreal nine years ago after the death of their parents. Unlike her twin, Lily has no desire to practice magic and has turned her back on her heritage. When she meets Mist, she too is captivated, but she was completely taken aback when she learns he is a demon. Yet, the connection between them is undeniable and when hell recalls Mist, Lily is willing to embrace her witchiness and brave the depths of hell to save her demon. And doing so will reveal a past that will change her forever and will bind her to Mist for eternity – that is if they can actually escape hell.
This was a great audiobook – the narrator Kirsten Leigh did a wonderful job with the characters and paced the story perfectly. The story itself was amazing, and I will definitely be reading the previous book and looking forward to future installments. This book had everything I was hoping for; magic, witty banter, a possessive hero, an equally possessive, curvy heroine, secrets, good friends, steamy love scenes, nasty villains, laugh-out-loud moments as well as a few nail-biting moments, ending with a few twists and a happily ever after. This was a new to me author, but I am hooked and will be impatiently waiting for the next book! This was the second book in the series, but it could easily be read as a standalone title. If you have been searching for a sexy, paranormal rom com, you can stop looking because this it that book!
