I liked this book even more than the last one! At first, I was worried I wouldn’t like Mist as much since he wasn’t featured much in the last book. I was quickly proven wrong as I was charmed by his adorable ignorance of the human world. Mist and Lily are so good together. I love how Mist’s confident matter-of-fact attitude boosts Lily’s confidence in herself. I also love how Lily’s easy acceptance of Mist in all forms boosts his confidence in turn. They’re so supportive of each other. I can’t wait to see what Lily’s place is in the overarching story that is building in this series. The string of down bad demons continues, and I can’t wait to read more!

This was such a good book. I loved the story and the writing so much. The characters were great and the story flowed smoothly. Will definitely read more books by this author in the future.

Get ready for a fun, spicy, and absolutely chaotic ride! 😈✨

Lily is our fierce, plus-size queen, a fashion designer determined to make clothes that fit real bodies. Oh, and did we mention? She’s also a blood-born witch and a twin. 💃🧙‍♀️

Then there’s Mist—a demon bounty hunter who also happens to be a demon himself. 😏 We first met him in My Demon Valentine, but now he’s learning the ins and outs of human life while hiding out from Hell with our favorite demon trio. 🔥👀

When Mist and Lily cross paths, sparks fly. But when Lily’s twin finds out she’s dating a demon, well… let’s just say all hell breaks loose—literally. 💥😂

Expect slapstick humor, lovable (and totally unhinged) characters, and a whole lot of spice. 🌶️🔥 If you’re here for a wild, fun, and steamy time, this book delivers!

I am thankful for the publisher for the opportunity to listen to the audible version of this book.

Narrator: The narrator was okay for me. Not great but also not horrible. I wish there would have been a little more infliction in her voice but after a few chapters, I got used to it.

Story: This is book 2 of a series. Since I hadn’t read or listened to the first book, I was a little lost at times, but overall was able to keep up just fine. The story itself was interesting but I can be honest and say that it didn’t capture me the entire time. Maybe if I had read it instead of listening to it?


Recommendation: I think this audiobook is worth giving a try. And would recommend it for someone who wants a relatively simplistic storyline to follow.

🌶️🌶️.5
It has a lot of the same qualities as book one, possibly to a fault. While I appreciated the plus-sized witch girl rep and admiration, it felt like that was one of the few fresh parts in this installment. It was still a comfy, easy listen but lacks some of the charm of book one. Maybe the horny jail was part of what made book one so good. Even though it's not an Eva & Ash book, I still wanted to see more growth and updates about them. Kirsten Leigh also returned but didn't seem to be giving it the same energy levels as she did in book one. Also, the weird insertions of someone else to do some pronunciations was a bit off-putting as well as the inconsistency of the Irish accents. The spicy scenes were at least decent as usual. I would give this series another chance as it has two of the better characters from this one in book three but am worried it is becoming a little too formulaic.

Audiobook Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟
This is book two in the Hell Bent series, and honestly, it could be read as a standalone. I told myself I wasn't going to continue the series because I wasn't a huge fan of the first book, but I'm happy I took a chance on this one because it's actually pretty good. I mean, I enjoyed it a lot. I liked both characters! Mishetsumephtai and Lily made me want to continue this series.

The audiobook was good, but I wish it was dual narration. The narrator did a good job telling the story and bringing it to life. She was easy to listen to and understand. Listened at 2x and 2.5x speed.

Enslaved to an evil demon queen for millennia, Mishetsumephtai has only ever served one purpose. He is the Hunter, the one who drags the guilty back to Hell. But finally tasting freedom on Earth has changed him, and for the first time, Mist questions his duty. The human female who smiles at him with no idea what a monster he is, draws him in, and he’ll do anything to possess her. Lily Donovan thought the most dangerous thing about running to the corner store at night would be the aisles of junk food. She didn’t bargain on encountering chaos in the form of a man with unusual tattoos and beguiling amber eyes, stalking her through the ice cream section. Since the death of her parents, Lily has tried to forget what she is. But denial is not an option when she’s confronted with everything she’s been running from. The hunter shall become the hunted . . . And the timid shall become the fierce.

Thank you, Netgalley, and RB Media for the audiobook in exchange for my honest review.

This series is so cute. It has great banter, with sweet love stories. Each one follows a demon brother. This one is about mist, and he just thoughtful and sweet. Each couple has to deal with cross world love, and like the first one there is a series of events that prevent them from beong together.

I was excited to carry on with this series after reading and enjoying My Funny Demon Valentine which I enjoyed. Unfortunately, this one fell flat for me. I actually would have DNF’d it had it not been an ARC but on the positive I’m glad I didn’t as it did get better as the book went on.

On the positive side it’s a quirky and less come world and plot devices which I enjoy. I love the human exploration of the demons and how they try to make it in the “real” world. I also love the humor meets dark vibes to the entire book and series. There are sections of the books that grab me and hold on so that may be enough for other readers!

The main challenge is 2 fold. For the book itself the challenge lies in that I was bored for the first 45% of the book. To me that’s way too long for a book to pick up. But that maybe just the curse of a sophomore slump. I wish when traditional publishers sign on to reissue works from indie authors that they edited them to make them the best they can be but alas that doesn’t happen.

The bigger issue is about the audiobook itself and its narration . It was hard to listen to. It is hard to put into words but to wrap it up into one concept it would be that it was uneven. At times the narrator was monotonous and then all of a sudden speaking with the this breathy higher pitched voice that reminded me of the “mean girls” in movie trying to sound better than everyone else. Some times you could barely tell the differentiation between characters and other times the voice tone chosen was like a caricature. It was a rollercoaster and not a fun one. Lastly, the voices used for the same character was inconsistent, as in they didn’t match so much that I had to go back to make sure who was talking. I even had to contact a friend who had the physical ARC of the book to make sure I wasn’t making a mistake.

All this being said, I will still carry on with the series and do recommend reading it. I just don’t recommend the audiobook unfortunately. (I’m really sorry to be so harsh)z

I am thankful to have gotten the audio ALC for free from RB Media through NetGalley to read which gave me the opportunity to voluntarily leave a review.

My rating system since GoodReads doesn’t have partial stars

⭐️ Hated it
⭐️⭐️ Had a lot of trouble, prose issues, really not my cup of tea (potentially DNF’d or thought about it)
⭐️⭐️⭐️ Meh, it was an ok read but nothing special
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Really enjoyed it! Would recommend to others
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding! Will circle back and read again

I received a free early copy of this book for review. This is my own opinion. Thank you to Netgalley and RBMedia for the opportunity to review!

<b>Genre:</b> romantasy

<b>Tropes:</b> prophesy

<b>Spice Level:</b> 2.5/5 TAIL

<b>Content Warning:</b> bound servant/slave. Some of the demon violence is gross but it’s not too bad.

Okay the first one caught me off guard but I might like this one even better?

Mist is SO adorably awkward I cannot with him. Also, something I love about these demons is that there’s no toxic masculinity. He takes the flower Lily gave him back to his sad little cave in hell and I just 🥺 honestly I know these are meant to be cute and fun, and they are, but there are some layers present if you stop to think about them. The scene in his bedroom was SO SWEET AND SAD with his few belongings and how proud he was of it. (Please excuse my sobbing, I have a water moon.)

Anywayyyyy, my projected feelings aside, this book was such a fun installment to this series and I can’t wait to see where it goes next!

This story was somehow even better than the first! Mist is a demon hunter who is enslaved to an evil demon queen. Lily is a blood born witch who has been hiding her magic since her parents were murdered. Mist and Lily have a chance encounter at a convenient store and both end up smitten with one another. Mist is so new to understanding human relationships and watching hum fumble around to win Lilys affection is so absolutely adorable. The antics that ensue with.the rest of the demons trying to help are also hilarious.
My biggest issue and the reason it lost a star is Lilys obsession with her size. As a plus size girlie myself I loved the representation and that Mist absolutely was obsessed with her curves. It just felt like during every intimate scene her insecurities would come up even though Mist had continued to show her how much he loved her curves and I was hoping the book could've showed some growth in that area moved on from it completely.

10/10 cannot recommend this book enough. Blew through it in a 24hr period. The spice was spicy and the story was cute. This is my first book by this author but will 100% be reading more!

I had too much fun with this story. Perfect amount of romance and plot for a quick paranormal romance read. Narrator did a great job with a variety of accents. I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

I received an arc from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Aurora Ascher delivers an irresistible blend of danger, desire, and demon-hunting in My Demon Hunter, the second book in her scorching series. Fans of Katee Robert and Juliette Cross will find themselves right at home in this darkly seductive world, where fierce heroines, sinfully tempting demons, and sizzling tension collide.

I listened to this as an audiobook, and the narrator was absolutely phenomenal. Her voice kept me fully engaged in the story, bringing the characters to life in a way that made every moment even more immersive. I’m picky when it comes to narrators, but she nailed it, enhancing the tension, emotion, and chemistry that make this book so addictive.

Even though I didn’t realize this was book two, I had no trouble diving straight into the story. Ascher crafts a richly immersive world that immediately pulls you in, making it easy to follow along while leaving you eager to devour the rest of the series. The chemistry between the leads crackles off the page, with a slow-burn intensity that builds into an electrifying romance. If you love stories featuring powerful heroines striking dangerous bargains with demons—à la Deal with the Demon—this book is an absolute must-read.

With a perfect mix of action, intrigue, and steam, My Demon Hunter is a thrilling addition to the genre. Whether you’re a longtime fan or a newcomer, this one is sure to leave you craving more.

Thank you so much to RB Media for an early audiobook copy of My Demon Hunter! 💖
This book was so cute, steamy, and fun! I read My Funny Demon Valentine and was so excited to get an audiobook copy of the sequel, My Demon Hunter! This book is so fast paced and action packed! I'm also OBSESSED with the fact that the FMC, Lily, is a plus size witch and the MMC, Mist, is a demon!?!?! We love a witch x demon romance but as a plus size girlie, I'M IN LOVE with Mist and Lily's meet cute (he buys her ice cream)! 🥹 The plus size rep in this story is great! It's mostly all positive and I also love that Lily is a seamstress who makes plus size clothes!!!
These books are so cute because the romance is HOT and there's also so much steam 👀 BUT also there's a TON of action and adventure and it makes it feel like the story races by!
I cannot wait to listen to the other books in this series!!!💕

I am thoroughly enjoying the Hell Bent series. My Demon Hunter was even better than My Funny Demon Valentine. I’m a sucker for demonology stories, and these are filled with all kinds of interesting characters. This one features a plus-sized FMC, and I’m so excited about this because I identify as a curvy girlie. There is something about reading characters with whom you connect and share the same experiences that change your whole perspective. These books have such great banter, and the spice is SO GOOD. Mist has a tail, btw 🥴 If you’re looking for a fun read, I highly suggest this series.

Thank you NetGalley for the anudiobook arc, the narrator did an amazing job. I love this series, following demon brother each falling in love in their own still stories. This one follows Mist as he falls for Lily but she’s a witch and he thinks she is repulsed by him. He decides to go back to hell and serve out his penitence. She decided to summon him and tell him the truth. The banter and spice make this series 5 stars.

This series quickly becoming a guilty pleasure of mine. Not only does it have great characters, an intriguing storyline, a good amount of spice, it is really funny. The story takes place two months after the events of My Funny Demon Valentine. Mishetsumephtai ( or Mist) the Hunter takes centerstage.

Mist is an intriguing combination of marshmallow fluff, deadly animal instinct, naivety and sweetness that will hits you right in the feels. Lily is a reluctant witch with not the best self-esteem, but a strong knowledge of who she really is. Lily is a great partner for mist. She’s very understanding of his idiosyncrasies and naivety , while being the emotional support he needs.

.We also get to meet Lily’s twin sister Iris. Who takes her witchcraft much more seriously. She is a blue haired confident which with a like for bad boys. And once again, we get the four kings of Hell, who abandoned their realms to come to earth. All the brothers are great on their own, but together they make highly amusing and volatile family.

I really enjoyed the story and I can’t wait for the rest of the series to come out because I will definitely be continuing it. The narration was very enjoyable as well and I hope that they continue.

Thank you to NetGalley , RBmedia and Aurora Ascher for this ALC.

ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS!!!! I'm already on Aurora Ascher's Hellion team, so I have an ARC copy of this book. However, when I saw the audio available on here - I instantly requested it so I could listen to it while also working instead of waiting to read it when I had time. I'm glad I did because I thoroughly enjoyed every second. The narrator was easy to listen to at a quicker speed (I like 1.25x when doing audio), and she differed the voices enough to know the difference when there was a conversation. She also did the Irish accent, and I loved it. The story itself is fantastic, I am in love with this series already and we are only two books into it. I love Mist so much as a MMC, so awkward it's adorable. It's going to be tough to top him out of the group of demons left.
