About this listen
When demons threaten London, even ladies must answer the call....
Lord Gabriel Thurston returns home from war to find his fiancée much changed. She's grown from a sweet girl into a mysterious woman who guards her dark secrets well. When he sees her sneaking away from a ball, he's convinced it's for a lovers' rendezvous. Following her to London's slums, Gabriel watches in horror as his fiancée ruthlessly slays a man.
Lady Belinda Clayton's only concern was her dress for the next ball—until demons nearly killed her, and a group of Demon Hunters saved her life. Now, a lady by day, and a demon hunter by night, she knows where her duty lies. Ending her betrothal is the best way to protect Gabriel from death at a demon's hands.
Gabriel soon realizes, like him, Belinda has been fighting for her country. He joins in the fight, determined to show her that their love can endure—even at the gates of Hell.

The story started off well with Gabriel following Belinda and finding out about Demon hunting. The story dragged a bit for me in the middle as it concentrated on their relationship and intimate scenes and I wanted to see more of the demons and fight scenes.
The story and pace really picks up in the last quarter and it was difficult to put down. Suspense filled action takes centre stage when the demon hunters have to make two daring rescues. Thor was a surprise favourite side character and I hope to see more of him in the next book. I'm hoping that the background to the demons and why they are invading London will be explained as the series progresses. I'd also to learn more about how Belinda's father got involved in demon hunting and training hunters.
So, with all that there's much to look forward to in subsequent titles.
I voluntarily reviewed a copy provided by the publisher.

I was intrigued by the book description, but put off listening to this for some time. I suspected it would be a cozy(ish) story with a somewhat over the top forceful (I am woman hear me roar) heroine; thankfully, in my opinion, it was neither of those.
This story is about struggling to come to terms with adverse changes, and getting through them with the love and support of family and friends. It is a historical paranormal fantasy set just after the Napoleonic war. There are several steamy romance scenes between the heroine and hero. And lots of demons slain during the crafting of this book.
Looking forward to the next one in the series.
A surprising delight...
