Belimai Sykes is many things: a Prodigal, the descendant of ancient demons, a creature of dark temptations and rare powers. He is also a man with a brutal past and a dangerous addiction.

And Belimai Sykes is the only man Captain William Harper can turn to when faced with a series of grisly murders.

But Mr. Sykes does not work for free, and the price of Belimai's company will cost Captain Harper far more than his reputation.

From the ornate mansions of noblemen, where vivisection and sorcery are hidden beneath a veneer of gold, to the steaming slums of Hells Below, Captain Harper must fight for justice and for his life.

His enemies are many and his only ally is a devil he knows too well. Such are the dangers of dealing with the wicked.

Contains mature themes.

This was a really interesting world - one MC is a descendant of demons, doesn't work well with the light, has some magicky elements, has a darker vibe. The other MC is an inquisitor/religious captain. Enemies at the core.

There's an intriguing plot situation going on, some religious shenanigans, world building. Overall, just a really interesting read. I am hesitant to call this a genre romance though. There's a strong romantic element throughout the story, but the plot takes the forefront.

Also POV change midway between MCs and 1st to 3rd person - it worked in the audio, no clue how it would do on page.

Also also, this narrator sounds like John Oliver and I loved it lol.

I have to admit I only bought this audiobook because of Anthony Ferguson's narration and the vintage-y, delicate aesthetic of the cover design. I got quite a bag of mixed feelings.
the take on human-demon-angel theories is very original, so it's interesting and attractive.
the story line is a bit messed up: it starts wonderful, logical and to the point, and it ends up all over the place and even a bit silly.
the world building is creative and intelligent. however, the dialogue is sometimes funny and witty, and other times silly and fake.
some of the characters are interesting and deep, others are flat and only half done.
worth mentioning that there are 2 different stories in the book, and while they are sequential chronologically, they are each a well defined story in themselves.
there is only one erotic scene (somewhere towards the end, even if the MCs fall together in bed 5 minutes after they first meet) and it is written both delicately and a bit poetic. not a complain, just mentioning - I actually liked the thing.
and then, there is the narration. I think AF is one of the best, love his voice, and like his style that is only a bit removed. in this audiobook, however, it really made it hard for me to follow who says what.
in short, it needs a second listen, or maybe a few more, to really take a stance on this one.

indeed different enough to be interesting

What an interesting twist of genres. The story swirves right into an amazingly rich tale about mystery, devotion and good ol' double agent thriller. Basically, imagine that back when the forces of Angels and Demons were engaged in holy battle, the side of demons surrendered and integrated with humans under strict sanctions. Fast forward a few millennia, and we see the end results are racism, wild inequality, and injustice. The demons are clearly second rate citizens.. Enter our MC, an agent of the inquisition, a wildly corrupt organization with the purpose of keeping the demon decendents in line. Thus follows a wild ride! The world building is fantastic, as are the characters. The two MCs, as well as the other characters are well defined and believable. The narration is well done and the story does a great job of explaining the setting and character without treating the reader like they need their hand held. All in all, I'd recommend the book. It's a nice weekend listen.

Definitely an interesting book!

I really enjoyed listening to this book. It had an original concept, likeable characters and intriguing plot(s).
You won’t find any declarations of undying love here, but the characters’ feelings speak very loudly through their actions. It really floored me, how romantic this book was without any romantic words spoken.

Different in a good way
