The arch of its back reaches about as high as my chest, and I’m about 5'6", not tall but not short either. Besides the glowing red eyes, there’s no mistaking the hellhound for a lost pooch or a coyote on the prowl.

I received a free copy of this audiobook from the author and volunteered to provide an honest review.
I noticed a few words mispronounced, but her performance was well paced and easy to understand, expressing appropriate mood and emotions, and her voices suited the characters. Angela Ohlfest did a fine job with narration. I had some trouble suspending disbelief at times because a lot of crazy things happen in this story, but it’s a fun ride and it kept me guessing. I also enjoyed the author’s unusual take on Baba Yaga. I love her relationship with her childhood friend Phyr, and the way the love triangle with angel/werewolf alpha Gabriel was handled. I thought it was a fun twist that our main character, Miriam, is going through a second puberty and developing new fae characteristics. I liked the diversity of characters and the complex relationships. The series is best enjoyed in order, but I dove straight into Book 2 and it was understandable and enjoyable on its own.
