About this audiobook
In New York, eating out can be hell.
Everyone loves a well-catered event, and the supernatural community is no different, but where do demons go to satisfy their culinary cravings?
Welcome to Sin du Jour - where devils on horseback are the clients, not the dish.
PRAISE FOR ENVY OF ANGELS:
"Matt Wallace tells a raucous, riotous tale of culinary madness - a jaw-dropping horror-fantasy restaurateur Thunderdome that makes the 'monkey brain' scene in Temple of Doom look like something you'd see on Nickelodeon. It's like I dropped a heroic dose of acid and turned on the Food Network for eight hours. It's funny and demented and sticks in you like a pinbone. Matt Wallace writes like someone just jammed a needle full of adrenaline in his heart - and then, in yours. From this point forward, I'll read anything this guy writes."
-Chuck Wendig, author of BLACKBIRDS and ZER0ES
"No one makes me think, 'Dammit, I should have thought of that!' like Matt Wallace. The Sin du Jour series is something I read with equal amounts of envy and delight."
- Mur Lafferty, Campbell Award winning author of THE SHAMBLING GUIDE TO NEW YORK CITY

What our readers think
Readers find this title to be an excellent fun novel with a fast-paced plot and a great twist at the end. The characters are interesting and funny, and the book has an original concept. Although some parts may be a little grotesque, overall it is a truly entertaining quest with a very interesting setting. The narration may not be great, but the story itself is fun and enjoyable.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5fun.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent fun novel. An urban fantasy novel. Lena and Darren, two down on their luck chefs, take a temporary job with a catering company, Sin Du Jour, whose clientele is supernatural. The plot is fast paced and has a great twist at the end. The author pulls off the difficult task of making all the characters interesting and funny. I’ll definitely be reading more in the series.
