This was a fun, cute, and spicy paranorma romance. I did find the fmc a bit too whiny at the beginning of the book, but she grew on me.

Daughter of Chaos is a good start to an epic odyssey.
I read an ebook in tandem with the audiobook and I'm glad I had both. The audiobook, narrated by Lucy Walker-Evans, was fantastic! And really, the only reason I finished reading in a timely manner. She gave Danae more personality that what I was reading in print.
DOC is well written but long winded. However, it IS based in greek mythology soooo, that's kind of par for the course. There are plenty of recognizable characters (they sort of overshadowed D.) throughout Danae's quest, giving a comfortable familiarity to the tale. My biggest gripe was the pacing and that DOC felt kind of like 2 separate stories to me. The 1st third-ish felt like a world away from the rest (it also dragged a bit). Maybe that was the point, but I forgot about Danae's nephew, and what set her on her path, the majority of the time. I wasnt expecting the ending and it may have convinced me to continue on with the series.
Overall, still a great read, particularly if you enjoy greek mythology.
Thanks to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing | MIRA for an eARC and Harlequin Audio for an advanced audiobook!

Verrry happy to report that Finaly Donovan Digs Her Own Grave is just as much fun as the rest of the series. I'm actually a bit bummed that I'm all caught up (I binge read them through NetGalley).
We've still got the buddy-roommate comedy, a new roommate, a hot cop, some old friends, and potential for some new friends. The mystery was fresh, believable, and entertaining.
I read an eARC in tandem with an advanced audiobook and have found that the audiobook(s) manages to elevate this book/series. As far as I'm concerned, Angela Dawe IS Finlay Donovan.
Her voice embodies Finlay in all her anxious, sarcastic glory. She has created a great Vero too. The male voices are done well. Truly, no notes.
I wasn't sure where Cosimano was going to take Finlay after so many things were nicely wrapped up in the previous book. Honestly, I was nervous. And now I'm very pleased and eagerly awaiting the next one! Yay for cliffhangers! 🫠
