This book was quick which I enjoyed. Although I like a quick read after enjoying a long high fantasy I felt that the numerous pov’s and short length left me still unfamiliar with the inner workings of each character. You definitely get the jist but I wasn’t rooting for anyone? I was just seeing where the story went. I’ve downloaded the following two books to see if book two is better, which sometimes is the case once we’re more familiar with the goings ons! It’s not a book I would be recommending to other book friends without knowing more.

A lucky find for free on Audible that actually turned out to be a witty and light hearted tale of a family of demons stranded on Earth. Despite their darker side they have the same family drama as us mere mortals. With multiple pov's from the family members this fast paced novella was enjoyable and one I will continue through the series.

Once I got the hang of the story, I blazed through this first novella.
It is entertaining, fast-paced and funny, as this family of demons exiled on planet earth are setting out to capture their next victim/sacrifice that they need in order to survive and not simply crumble away.
Loved the story and loved the performance of the multi-narrator audio production.

This kind of story is usually my jam, but I was so bored and disinterested that I put it down halfway through.

Super entertaining for what it was! I just happened to scroll through the free books on Audible, came across this and it was short and free so I randomly decided to try it out. I’m glad I did! I feel like the best way to describe the feeling of listening to it would be a fantasy sitcom in audiobook form. It was funny, fast paced, and had an entertaining plot and cast of characters. Now, am I giving this 5 stars because it was a literary work of art and it was the most amazing thing I’ve read? No. However, it is absolutely 5 stars for what it is - a free fantasy/comedy/dark novella series.
