Resumen del Editor

Turns out, the only difference between a felony and acquisitions is who’s bankrolling my heist.

I’m about to go from scrounging up enough tip money to make rent to pulling six figures. I’ll finally put those years stealing for my old alpha to good use. Only this time, I’ll be the one calling the shots. My crew. My way.

When a witch starts dabbling in forbidden magic, the Enclave sends me after the demon artifact fueling her power. The job should be simple, except they can’t point me to the culprit or tell me what I’m after.

To make matters worse, they’ve teamed me up with the alpha tracking the witch. Max Volkov was supposed to be my no-strings-attached one-night stand, not my partner. He likes making the rules almost as much as I like breaking them. To get this job done though, we’ll have to work together.

With vampires after my prize, an old enemy gunning for me, and someone trying to take out my crew, I need to find that artifact fast. Something tells me it’s going to take a lot more than a fancy new job title and the Enclave’s backing to keep us all alive.

Brimstone Burglar is the second book in the Riley Cruz series about a goat shifter who steals magical artifacts. If you like fun, fast-paced urban fantasy with quirky characters and a dose of slow-burn romance, this is the book for you.

best in the business

Riley and her team are the best at what they do, as long as they can all stay on the same side. The narrator is amazing and really brings the story to life. a heist gone wrong, unexpected enemies, and as much trouble as Riley can find

New Favorite Character!

What a great new installment to this series! Riley, the MC, is so likable and I love how much confidence she has, yet it isn't blatant. I have enjoyed seeing her relationships grow with Max and Nash and also being able to get to know her witch friends too! Riley's love for her "found" family is wonderful and she has clearly grown and matured even more in this book, allowing herself to be vulnerable some too. My new favorite character has to be Garth the rooster! I hope we find out next book that he is a shifter or something like that because I would love to know what he thinks about this ragtag crew!

Teamwork and banter galore

Riley's first "solo" mission...and by solo, I mean the first with her own hand-picked team where she is in the lead. A human, a vamp, a witch, a wolf, and a goat...trying to find an artifact they don't know the identity of in the possession of an individual they...also...don't know the identity of. Oh, and did we mention that the wolf and the vamp both despise the human (and vice versa)? What could POSSIBLY go wrong?!? Hang out with Riley and her team while they navigate each other and the magical world to try to save the day, recover the artifact, and deal with some of Riley's own personal demons from her past in a story full of humor, heart, romance, tears, and karaoke.

My only complaint is that the narrator is slow, so I have to speed her up a tad to make it more of a normal conversational speed, but I do love her narration overall. She's perfect for Riley and the witches, especially.
