I received an ARC of this audiobook through Netgalley.

I loved this book from start to finish. It’s an unusual romance that sneaks into your heart so quickly.

To be clear, this book isn’t about hunting demons. This book is about an enslaved demon whose job it is to hunt other demons and a very powerful set of witch twins.

It was really so great. Please read it! Fantastic narration too!

I am literally obsessed with this series, Thank you SO incredibly much for the ALC. I applied initially because I LOVED My Funny Demon Valentine and the audio book really made the book immersive for me. So when I saw that this was available, I had to jump on this!!

I LOVED Mist and Lily’s story, it was so sweet and funny and really hit the spot. Plus I love all of the lore behind the demons and their origin stories. Aurora does such a good job of writing fantasy romance books that are short and sweet, plus have plot depth including character arcs. It’s like almost unheard of in my eyes to find such an amazing author like this. I truly love this series and have preordered the rest of the books!!

I am thoroughly impressed! Aurora Ascher is a new author to me, and I’m so grateful I decided to take a chance and listen to this book.

Right from the start, I was captivated. I felt a mix of anger and sympathy for the enslaved male protagonist—a character longing for love, freedom, and a life of his own.

This paranormal love story is full of unexpected twists and turns, keeping you on edge as you root for that elusive happy ending. Beyond the romance, it’s also a tale of friendship—a group of individuals struggling to express their deep feelings of care and love for one another. Their actions, though, reveal the true depth of their bond.

There were moments that made me laugh out loud and others that brought tears to my eyes. Ultimately, the ending was deeply satisfying.

This is what makes a great book! Read it. Listen to it. Enjoy it.

Thank you, RBmedia for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.
Although a copy was provided to me for review consideration, I bought both the Audible and Kindle versions from Amazon after listening to this audiobook.
It is that good!

Book 2 of the Hell Bent series did not disappoint. My Demon Hunter was another fun and sexy read that I thoroughly enjoyed! The characters are so easy to connect with and love. Like, honestly, when reading this book I kept saying, I LOVE this demon. 😂 I love that the demons are wanting to feel the feelings and are open to love. Love truly does conquer all! I also enjoyed how the female main character developed body positivity and empowerment. I’m looking forward to reading the upcoming books in this series. I listened to the audiobook and while I’m not a huge fan of third person narration, I did end up getting used to it. The narrator did a great job. 😈

I would like to thank RBmedia and NetGalley for giving me an ARC (which did not sway my opinions or review). Oh, and I loved this book so much that I already bought/preordered both books in the Hell Bent series.

Following the reprint of My Funny Demon Valentine in January, Aurora Ascher‘s second Hell Bent novel, My Demon Hunter, is out today. Here, instead of focusing on one of the four “brother” demons escaped from Hell, it follows the hunter sent to find them and his decision to find a human pet—ahem, girlfriend. Mist ends up with Lily, a powerful former witch who might hold the keys to his freedom.

Why I Chose This Book:
My Funny Demon Valentine was such a fun read, and I couldn’t wait to continue the series. Mist (Mishetsumephtai) was introduced in the first book, and he’s even more clueless on how to interact with humans than the other demon brothers. I knew My Demon Hunter would be another funny, escapist read.

What I Liked:
- Hilarious demon-human interactions. At the beginning, Mist doesn’t understand a lot abut people or how to talk to them. For starters, he refers to girlfriends as pets. He doesn’t get the point of movies, he’s not sure how to buy ice cream at the store, and he doesn’t see the purpose of phones. This makes for some silly conversations when he first meets Lily.
- Lily is so shy! She’s an introvert with lots of self-doubt, and I love how she comes into herself throughout the book. Mist raises her self-confidence, but she ultimately becomes the savior here, which I really loved.
- Mist is so sweet! After years enslaved and forced to hunt other demons, he just wants to be free and find some happiness. He’s new to it all, but I love how he treats Lily and eventually comes to see his own self-worth.
- Demon interactions. While their conversations with humans are funny, I also love seeing the demons talking to each other. They’re so playful, rude, angry… just silly, brotherly interactions all around. They feature slightly less here than in the first book (Mist isn’t one of the four brothers, after all), but they show up enough and are always a highlight.

What Didn’t Work for Me:
- It all unfolds so fast! This book leans into instalove and a rapid timeline. I would have liked if there was more time for Mist and Lily’s relationship to develop before the Hellish drama started.

Audiobook:
Kirsten Leigh does a marvelous job of narrating My Demon Hunter. Her voice seamlessly captures the different personalities, the nuances of each scene, and the overall lighthearted vibe throughout the novel. If she narrates the subsequent books in the series, I will happily listen to each one!

Final Thoughts
My Demon Hunter picks up right where the first novel left off, bringing those demons back for more while also introducing Lily and a few other characters (who will appear more in later books). Mist and Lily are so cute together, and I love how theirs turns into a story of rescue and unbreakable connection. It all goes by so fast, but this book is equal parts fun and full of heart.

The Hell Bent series will continue to be republished by Kensington this year, and you can bet I’ll be reading all of it! Meph and Iris get their story in Demon with Benefits, out this July, with Guardian Demon and Beauty and the Demon set to follow after that. Stay tuned for those reviews!

Loving this series! I love the idea of these hot demons evolving into swoon worthy men. This series is well written with relatable characters, each one working at overcoming their own odds. Highly recommend.

I had the distinct pleasure of listening to the audiobook version, and it was great I finished it in just over a day because it was really addicting.

This book is a sequel in the Hell Bent series, and although it makes it a lot easier to understand some of the surrounding dynamics, you might even be able to get away with reading as a standalone (but why would you want to skip the first one?).

Mist is a demon in the human world, and he meets Lily, a feisty woman who makes him consider what else life has in store for him.

Without spoilers, the spice is amazing, Mist has quite a few talents. 🤭 I love that Lily is fierce and curvy and ready to throw down if the occasion arises.

The surrounding characters are memorable, and I sincerely hope that there will be another installment.

4.25 star read! Excellent second installment of the Hell Bent series! I fell in love with Mist and his awkward mannerisms and personality! I loved getting to know the characters from the first book more, plus being introduced to some new characters!

I hope we get more from Iris and Lily in the third book. I’m interested to know more about their powers and find out exactly what they can do!

FYI this is a spicy demon romance.

I listened to this on audio and enjoyed the narration very much!

I am thankful to have received this as an audiobook ARC from Netgalley and RB Media. I really enjoyed this one!!

Mist and Lily's meet cute was adorable! I enjoyed the story and the "villain". I enjoyed the growth of the characters. I'd go into more detail about it but don't want to spoil main plot points.

I didn't expect to enjoy this one quite as much but I am really loving Ascher's Demon romantasy series that features a different cursed 'monster' as they find their mates and battle different kinds of evil and curses. The sex was SPICY (hello tail play!) and the bond between the twin sisters was great. I can't wait for Iris's story next! Good on audio and perfect for fans of authors like Katee Roberts or Ruby Dixon. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early audio and digital copy in exchange for my honest review!

3.75 stars

This story follows Mist, who was introduced in book one, My Funny Demon Valentine. Mist is a Hunter who has very black and white thinking. Until he sees the demons from book one finds a human. Lily is a curvy artist woman who struggles with insecurity. When they cross paths, a beautiful relationship grows.

I enjoyed the audiobook. Narrator, Kirsten Leigh did a wonderful job bringing the characters to life.

I would like to start by saying this author knows who to write a plus size character that you will love. Yes she LiLy is shy, sweet and insecure but she has such a good evolution and development. Ans we have Mist that we already seen some of his softness picking out for the first book, at the beginning of this book, him being nice and evolving into this teddy bear of a demon, yes Eva has an amazing influence, but his own character picks thru the decisions and mannerisms. I love that they all stick together and kinda adopted him into the gang.
As for the audiobook is good, easy to follow, great narration.

Tropes: demons, witches, magic, plus sized h, alpha "mine" H

🗣️Narrator: Kristen Leigh voices all the characters with standouts from Lily, Iris, and Mist. The reading style brought the text to life, and the author and narrator worked together perfectly. The pacing and flow allowed me to get lost in the story. The narrator paused and announced new chapters and there was a table of contents which helped me follow along.

🏃🏾‍➡️Run Time: 10:36

🌎 Setting: Montreal, Canada

👆🏾POV: 3rd person

⚠️TW: torture, explicit s*x, slavery

🤔 My Thoughts: Another solid installment featuring Mist and Lilly. They were different species but found a way to be together. They had some steamy s*xy times, one that had me cringing a little-IYKYK. I will be reading the other books in the series and can't wait for Belial's book!

Rating: 4/5 ✨
Spice level 4/5🔥

🙏🏾Thanks to NetGalley, RB Media | Recorded Books, and Aurora Ascher for this ALC! I voluntarily give my honest review, and all opinions are my own.

This has become one of my favorite series. The story just sucks you right in. I finished it in a one day. Will definitely be buying it on release day for those limited edition sprayed edges. I have to have a shelf trophy to go along with the first book. I can't wait for the next story. I'm absolutely hooked!!

I enjoyed this book. I wish there was more to Lily’s story but knowing the next book will be about her sister i guess I’ll have to wait and see. Other than that I had a good time 😊

My Demon Hunter by Aurora Ascher
5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
4🌶🌶🌶🌶

This is book 2 in the Hell Bent series. The book follows Mishetsumephtai (Mist), who is the foremost Hunter in Hell. Nobody hides from him for long, and when he is sent to track down our 4 favorite rogue demons from book 1, it is no exception. Except this time, Mist feels differently. He finds himself wanting to experience human life, and with the help of his 4 new friends, he starts doing just then.

Enter Lily, a blood born witch who is trying to live the least witchy life she can. While her twin sister is still heavily involved in her coven, Lily enjoys sewing and living as normally as she can.

One night, at a chance encounter Mist and Lily run into each other, and their lives change course forever. Mist can usually barely tolerate people, but Lilly is intoxicating to him, and Lily can tell he is dangerous, but decides she doesn't care because she wants him.

However, Mist's time away from Hell was only temporary, and he's being summoned back. They only have a short time to figure out how to break his binding to the demon queen of hell before he it's too late.

This was very well written, and I loved it just as much as the first book. Thank you to Netgalley for the advance listening copy in exchange for my honest review.

✨Happy Pub Day to author Aurora Ascher 🥳

My Demon Hunter - the Sequel to My funny Demon Valentine in the Hell Bent Series just published today. WOW! What a sequel!

When two worlds collide and the stars align we are met with a Demon Romance I couldn’t stop listening to! Mist & Lily had me captivated from chapter one to the end of the book! Just your average demon trying to escape his life of servitude meeting a non practicing blood born witch & their shenanigans. We’ve all heard the term - “to Hell & back” - well, I guess you’ll have to read this one to see just what character did in fact go to hell and back. Oh and his Tail - I guess you’ll have to pick up this one today to know more about that too 😉 🔥

I do highly recommend listening or reading book one first. I admittedly picked up book one because the edges were stunningly beautiful. The story kept me engaged and looking forward and craving MORE!!! Can’t wait to own a physical copy of book two real soon now that it’s in stores!

If you like books with any of the following this book is definitely for you:
✨paranormal romance
✨swoon worthy hero
✨witty banter
✨”touch her and die” trope
✨found family
✨demon x witch

A huge thank you to RB Media, Kensington Publishing & NetGalley for my ALC and e-ARC of My Demon Hunter! I enjoyed this immersive read so much and look forward to continuing this series. As far as the narration it was good but a dual narration would have made it top tier!

Mist and Lily are the perfect pair, they have amazing banter and really balance each other out. This book is hilarious and all the demons are fun to learn more about.

For fans of:
- Bride
- Zodiac Academy

World's collide when Mist, a demon slave forced to hunt his kind, and Lily, a human woman, run into each other at a corner store and share instant chemistry. This book is little silly and a little sexy and includes elements such as:

- prophecies
- found family
- love across species
- immortal enslavement
- sisterhood
- soul mates

I raced through this book, enjoying it thoroughly from top to bottom. The chemistry between Mist and Lily is rushed, but fantastic nonetheless. The spicy was fun, and I even enjoyed the comical ensemble of demons trying to blend into the human world. I haven't read the first book in the series, but was pleased to find I could follow the plot very easily without it. I am absolutely looking forward to the next installment of the saga, and will be recommending this book to my more adventurous friends.

My Demon Hunter by Aurora Ascher
Release Date: March 25, 2025

🖤 Demon Brothers
🖤 Demon X Witch
🖤 Plus Size FMC
🖤 Found Family

This is the first book I have read by Aurora and all I can say is that her imagination is wild! Her character backstories and development evolved in the book that made the reader understand how misunderstood demons/monsters/witches were in this paranormal world.

Mist and Lily’s meet-cute is not what I expected… demon x witch x menstrual cycle x ice cream!

Mist, a demon who is literally trying to escape his demon ways and his mistress to live a normal life where he does not have to hunt. Lily, a witch that has no idea how truly powerful she is because she tries to hide her magic. The physical attraction between the two is so intense that a little miscommunication can cause problems.

The book is fun, dark and steamy… wait until you read what his tail can do!!!!

Thank you to the Author Aurora Ascher, RBmedia and Netgalley for this ARC.
