Lots of humor in this book

I realized that I never added my reviews to Audible for this series so I am correcting that now.
Originally reviewed on: 01/26/2017
Satan's Sword is book 2 of the Imp series. It was even better than the first book and it also had a lot of humor throughout. There were several times I found myself laughing out loud. It ends a bit abruptly but that's okay because it looks like it picks right up again in book 3.
I don't really care for the narration of this book. The narrator is really clear in her speaking but her different voices are pretty bad, especially the male voices. She also speaks slowly and there are significant pauses each time a different character starts to speak. But, even though it will be the same narrator, I'm sure I'll still listen to book 3 anyway since I like to have something to listen to during my work commute.

An imp and her adventures

I enjoyed the narration and the story kept me interested. It's not a high action book but there was some. I had a small problem with the main character's fascination with Bundy the mass murderer. But hey she is a demon. Still I'd rather she was fascinated with a fictional murder. The writer is pretty good but she leaves out little details that would have helped me imagine the scenes better. Mostly sometimes I wasn't sure of the characters body in turns of if she was naked or in another form still or what she looked like in public places. I found the storyline a nice change from other werewolf and vampire fiction. And I enjoyed the main character's quirkiness.

That amoral, depraved demon we all know and love.

Would you consider the audio edition of Satan's Sword to be better than the print version?

yes.

What did you like best about this story?

I find it strangely amusing.

Which scene was your favorite?

When she was trying to understand the serial killer. And then when she is whining to wyatt that she is upset about the serial killer being stupid and not being able to dehydrate an ear properly.

Any additional comments?

OK. So in my review of the previous book I mentioned that ALL of the characters are completely amoral. Case in point - Wyatt, the boyfriend. Their relationship is a romance novel flipped on its head and soaked in acid.... instead of the night in shining armor rescuing the helpless female and then engage in steamy moments...you have the helpless human male being protected by the serial killer demon who at one point shares its deepest fantasy....along the lines of...I want to put you in a bathtub full of blood and strangle you with some entrails that I am gnawing on.... Instead of running screaming....he's like..can we use wine instead of blood....hot stuff...uh huh...any who.... He sees her in her demon form. She offers in all seriousness to kill a rival that he lost a video game tournament to. He knows that she kills people...and he is like...well babe I'm going to play video games and then you are done killing and torturing people we can go have some hot wings at the bar..... I kept thinking about women who are married to serial killers and people are like..how did you not know you were married to a monster.... and yet I like them all....crazy

excellent follow-up

What did you like about this audiobook?

This second book in the series is actually even better than the first. The lead character was funnier than ever, more hedonistic, yet you can't help but like her candor (even as some of her actions / thoughts repulse you!)

How has the book increased your interest in the subject matter?

Can't wait for the next installment

Do you have any additional comments?

The pace of narration was quite slow, but that was resolved by switching to 1.5x speed. However, Her narration is impeccable. She brings the characters to life such a way one wouldn't get from just reading the book. I reckon she's one of the best narrators I've come across yet.

Love this series

The characters are well developed, great story line, unique and full of laugh out loud humor! Love the narrator's voice as well. Perfect fit!

Great Book

The book was very entertaining and I really enjoy it. Usually not into demons but Debra did a great job writing. I like that she put humor, and a little gore into this book.

Very good series

I just love the world and characters created by MS Dunbar. Suspenseful, with laughs and unworldly beings. Bonus a narrator that dose each character with a perfect voice .

a Great book

I have really enjoyed this book , it has keep me on the edge of my seat, the whole time I was listening to it.

A good romp, a little too violent at one point

I like the light-heartedness of Samantha, but got turned off when she killed all those men. Even so, it's a fun series, and Rysk's voice works well with the character.

a must get series

loved it you have to get all the audio books. Angel has a great voice. Debra Dunbar rocks
