I rather enjoyed the narrator for this book in particular. She did a good job with the characters and the overall narrative.👏

Robin Page had lost both of her parents. Her uncle is the executor of their will and seems to be dawdling in giving her her inheritance. She thinks it's because of her maternal line's grimoire, which she's desperate to find and protect.

She discovers he's an illegal demon summoner and contractor. She ends up betrayed and accidentally forges a contract with a demon her uncle summoned to save her life as she's dying!😳 Chaos the  ensues!💥

This was enjoyable enough, but I felt the story didn't really get exciting until the last quarter of the book. The hook made me curious about reading the next in the series, but as I have to read and listen, I'm not sure I want to risk the cost.🤔 I might come back to it at a later date if the storyline plays on my mind enough.

I do think others might enjoy it more than me. It was witty, and I think if you've read the other series, which I haven't, you'd be more into it.
