Poor little human

This is a fun and amusing read however the poor little human me attitude was quite annoying after a bit. Still, it's definitely amusing and entertaining enough to read more. No sex in this book, more attempts to ignore attraction and a couple teasing kisses.

This book felt a little flat.. like it was missing some personality? It had all the elements that I enjoy.. the main character works in a bookstore and she’s not afraid to stand her ground, but nonetheless the relationships weren’t there.. will still read the next one.

The plot was really interesting, but I did not feel any chemistry between the main characters.

Intrigued!
I couldn’t put this book down! Dominic and Luna totally captivated me! Suspense all the way through! I’m totally on team Dominic. His hateful sister needs to lose her magic forever! This is a must read spellbinding book! I love the disappearing and reappearing hell hound! McKenzie Hunter has outdone herself with this epic book! I can’t wait for book 2!

What happens when a normal human book nerd gets caught up in paranormal magic and makes a deal with the son of the devil? Well you are going to find out in the Magic of the Damned series. A Touch of Brimstone is the start of another amazing paranormal series by this author. It is filled with the humor and sassy strong females that McKenzie Hunter is known for while bringing a whole new world of politics and complex characters.

A Touch of Brimstone had a slow build as the author established the main character, Luna, including her best friend Ava, her cheating ex-boyfriend and the unique environment of the bookshop that she works in along with its quirky regular customers. McKenzie Hunter is wonderful at world building and that that is shown again in this book where she has developed a supernatural world hidden within current times, with the addition of an Underworld realm. I liked Dominic and his complex character and look forward to getting to know more of him in future books.

A Touch of Brimstone was an intriguing start to this new series and I look forward to reading book 2 when it is realeased. I would recommend this for readers who enjoy paranormal romance, urban fantasy, supernatural creatures, mystery, political intrigue, slow burn, humour and strong sassy female main characters.

Full disclosure I did get this as an ARC from McKenzie but I would have bought it anyway.

I don't know if it was the writing style or the characters or what but this was sooooo boring. If it wasn't so short I would've DNFed. And then the ending? Obnoxious. Idek.

Horrible, cringey dialogue. A main character that gets in the way more often than not, while making threats she can't deliver on to people who have no reason to entertain her bravado but still do because her boring character has somehow moved the heart of the prince of the underworld enough for him to want to keep her alive after mere days of knowing her. The two stars are for a world full of POC characters.
