WHERE THERE ARE GODS, THERE ARE ALSO MONSTERS . . .

For a thousand years, the Etherworld has known peace.
Until now.

Many centuries ago, desperate to save her dying sister, Dianna made a deal with Kaden, a monster far worse than any nightmare. Locked in servitude to him, she is forced to hunt down an ancient relic held by her most dangerous enemies: an army led by Samkiel, the World Ender.

After the Gods War, Samkiel hid from everything, denying his crown and deserting his people. Now, an attack on those he loves sends him back to the realm he never wished to return to, and into the sights of an enemy he had hoped to forget.

With every world at stake, Dianna and Samkiel are forced to set aside their animosity and work together, before all is lost . . .

Don't miss the next books in the series, THE THRONE OF BROKEN GODS and THE DAWN OF THE CURSED QUEEN. . .

'A wicked ride from beginning to heart shattering end. Leaving me literally screaming for more. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough to get more our morally corrupt heroine who you can't help but root for, along with the giggle inducing banter between her and the heroic god Samkiel' HANNAH NICOLE MAERHER

'Once in a while I read a series that reminds me of just why I love enemies to lovers, slow burn, and morally grey characters so much. Gods and Monsters is that series. This is perfection. Amber Nicole's Dianna is the FMC of my soul' NISHA J. TULI

WTAF!?!?!

How in the HELL!!! Can you, The author leave everyone hanging with a Cliffhanger like that!?!?! So damn jacked up!! Had I known book one was going to end like this I would have waited to listen to it until February 2024 when the 2nd book releases on Audible because I despise Cliffhangers!! PERIOD!!

Also, ya need a new narrator. This one was okay sometimes but she made the haroine/MC goofy corny and ridiculous and also Dorky and not in the good goofy. corny ridiculous type of way. NO! really just down right annoying at times. Had this book had the right narrator, all of those negative annoying quirks and a bad character like flaws could have been cute sexy and funny Like I always say,
" A narrator can either make or break an audible book. You need Michael Farriello! He is the most amazing funny intriguing and talented narrator I have haleaser of listening to. He does the best male and female voices for all different types if characters and he brings them all to life in such an amusing and captivating way. He is the best narrator for both male and female voices!👌 He does the woman's voices better than most women.

That ending though!

Ok so the first half of the book there is a lot of world building and information! Kinda slow but the last half of the book picks up and you get sucked in!
It ends on a Cliffhanger of all Cliffhangers !!!! Ahhhhh ! I am dying and the next audio book isn’t out yet!
Here I go to kindle to keep reading!

I CANT EVEN

No because this, THIS ONE RIGHT HERE OMG😭😭😭I NEED THE SECOND, THIRD, FOURTH AND FIFTH BOOK RIGHT NOW

Mixed feelings

This book was good but I felt like it was a bit forced and definitely too corny in some areas. I found myself rolling my eyes and wanting to stop at some parts because it was too forced. The overall story is good but I wasn’t on the edge of my seat. Some reviews say the ending was shocking but I didn’t find it that way. I’m not sure if I’ll continue the series or not.

the characters

The characters in this book are amazing. I can't get enough of Diana's sarcasm and comments.

Turned me around

I didn’t like the this book at the start. I didn’t like heroine. I didn’t like the first person. I still don’t like the first person. I did end up loving the book and the characters. If you haven’t read this book you are missing out on a fantastic read. Bet you wish you were reading it now. Get going. Get to buying it. Get to reading it! You know you want to get reading because I’m not leaking any spoilers. 😛

Desperately waiting for the next instalment on audiobook!

Fantastic!

It took me 5 chapters to get into- but totally worth it! Quickly becoming one of my favorite series!

Story

Really love the story. The narrator was bothering me the first little while, but once more characters are introduced, it gets better. I'm about to buy the third book. I love the story and I just gotta find out how it all ends.

Narration isn’t the best

I DNF I disliked the narration and the voices all blended together to me. Too bad because the storyline was good. Will finish on kindle

YA Series Warning

Another reviewer mentioned this is not for 30+ readers because the characters are immature. Honestly, I think this book could have used a seasoned editor. Obviously, it’s a story that maybe people really enjoyed, I wasn’t the audience.

I’m not sure the narrator read ahead in the story before she recorded. More than a few times the vocal characterization didn’t match her acting. So much so, it changed the atmosphere the author was trying to build for the audience. She also seemed to have a difficult time holding character. Sometimes male characters had lower voices and sometimes that would bleed into the female characters. For example, in the first chapter Liam meets Diana, they sound the same, and Diana didn’t sound like she did in her POV chapters.

Writing could have used a seasoned editor and another draft. The style is inconsistent. While the writing is immature, I think for some this adds to the story and might work, not me. If this had been advertised as young adult, which I am not, I would not have purchased it. (Yeah, adult woman reviewer here.) This is probably a great book/series if you are younger than 35-40. Otherwise, I would recommend finding something else.
