Audio review

This was short and entertaining, and really funny at times. I must admit I was a bit confused early on because there was a strange time jump early-ish in the book. I found out it was because of the first bit being a short story that was later expanded on. I didn’t find out until I downloaded the ebook to get the quotes for my review, so I was a bit puzzled by this until the end, lol. That doesn’t mean it was bad or anything, just had me scratching my head a bit. It resulted in the romance part feeling glossed over, as they were suddenly an established couple after the time jump. Oh well.

If you two cause the end of the world because you’re horny idiots, I’ll kill you.” Ethan was fairly sure they were doomed.

The good parts of this was really good, though. Maz Maddox knows how to write funny stuff, that’s for sure, and both the books I’ve read by them so far have been refreshingly original. Ethan and Jag were both awesome, but I think my favorite character was Jag’s familiar, Sammy. Too funny. I really liked the mystery-solving part, and had a lot of fun when listening to their amateur attempts at heists, lol.

Jag has an accent (british?), and Ethan is American. This wasn’t a problem during dialogue. The chapters from Jag’s POV had a british accent during the dialogue as well as the regular narration. Unfortunately, Ethan’s chapters *also* had the british accent during the regular narration. His american accent was only present during dialogue. This made it difficult to keep track of whos POV it was sometimes. The narration was good except for that tho!


“So.” Ethan stirred his stew absently. “What’s Hell like? Do you really have boiling lakes of fire and all that?” “Oh, yes. The fire lakes are truly beautiful. I spent my childhood there during the summer months, fishing for ember fish.”

“Did you plan another vacation to the beach so I can take my revenge against the seagulls?” “Nope.” Ethan hooked his arm around Jag’s. “How about I show you?” “I still wish to get my revenge, Ethan.” Jag followed as Ethan pulled him out of the kitchen. “They stole from me and insulted me with their cries and by shitting in my ice cream.”

“What’s your poison, new guy? We have all manner of adult beverages, but we also have really yummy virgin stuff if you’re driving.” Jag stared since nothing the witch said made any sense. How could a drink be of a certain age or lack sexual experience? Did he even want a drink that could potentially have sex? Satan below, what the hell would that even taste like?
