One thing I've learned since I became a hunter . . .

Anyone can betray you.

It's exactly why I find myself traveling to a place I never thought I'd go.

The Shadow Realm.

Demons hide in every shadow and around every corner. But here in the darkness I discover even more surprises. Things I never thought possible.

With a Queen to hunt, and a witch to find, what could possibly go wrong?

Wow, this story just keeps getting better and better! I know I am going to make this series a top 10 of 2022, I can feel it ?

In book 3 we get to experience the Shadow Realm and all that has to offer. Lots of pesky demons, tricky wording and deals, and some interesting new characters (some I know already get their own story and I am super excited to get to them once I am done this series!!). I enjoyed getting to see the different levels of this world, each focusing on the seven deadly sins. Some high level demons/leader of the levels are pretty cool, some need their booty handed to them. I enjoyed Callie (sorry if I spell any of these wrong as I listened to them all haha) and her snark but helping the group. I thought the Wrath (I think level 3?) was full of action and tension, I hope she gets some just rewards after how she treated Remy and the guys. I thought the fuzzy cat man was was funny and an added bonus haha. We finally get to meet the Queen and her 4 Horseman and I love the dynamic between their harem and then to Remy and her harem. Loved the BFFs and also the fierce loyalty and protectiveness the guys showed on both sides. We get to learn more about Remy and her powers/past lives, her friends she made in the Shadow Realm (hopefully we get to learn more in each book). The storyline was really balanced with plot progression and steam, so I loved every second of it.

We get to see what Fallon is going through (I wanted to hug her so badly!!) and what Colt is dealing with on the other side and trying to keep his family and faction together despite Archer (I cannot wait to see him go down in flames! and his and Remy's dad (hopefully he gets an attitude adjustment or is taken out because I am pretty much done with him). We get to see some new relationships develop (I hope Azriel is gone and I have high hopes for Deacon, but what will that mean for Colt hmmmm. I am also super happy to see Fallon gets her own story/book, trying hard not to jump on that one too since some of these spinoffs are on audio already ?). The ending of this book though....I yelled while driving, happy that this series is finished but none of theater 3 of the series are on audio!! I need to know what happens next, because the things at the end of this book cannot be real/the end to some of our favorite characters, it just can't be!

The narration was good, I will say I usually like this male narrator but he was very screechy/whiney and I didnt think he needed to be. I hope he kinda mellows out in the future books. I appreciate bringing in a male narrator to offset the female voice, get them to do the chapters from the male POV. Again I liked the female narrator, no complaints or feedback from me. But the male narrator wasn't exactly who I was picturing for mostly Colt's POV. Still a 4/5 for the audio.

I cannot wait to delve into book 4 of this series, I am probably going to have to read them instead of waiting for them on audio (if they were all on audio right now I would be binge listening for a long time ❤️❤️❤️
