About this listen

After decades of unrequited love, this kangaroo will jump at the chance for a date. Any date.

Lovelorn kangaroo shifter Hamish Mulherne, drummer for the mega-hit rock band Hunter’s Moon, waited years for the band’s jaguar shifter bassist to notice him. Instead, she’s just gotten married and is in a thriving poly relationship. How is Hamish supposed to compete with that? But with everyone else in the band mated and revoltingly happy, he needs somebody. Since he can’t expect true love to strike twice, he signs up with Supernatural Selection. Because what the hell?

When Zeke Oz was placed at Supernatural Selection through the Sheol work-release program, he thought he was the luckiest demon alive. But when he seems responsible for several massive matchmaking errors, he’s put on notice: Find the perfect match for Hamish, or get booted back to Sheol for good. The only catch? He has to do it without the agency’s matchmaking spells, and Hamish simply will not engage.

But Zeke starts to believe that the reason all of Hamish’s dates fizzle is because nobody in the database is good enough for him. And Hamish realizes that his perfect match might be the cute demon who’s trying so hard to make him happy.

This was a great way to finish this trilogy. Both characters where instantly likeable making you want to cheer them on. Zeke’s
interactions with the AI and his interpretation of the colours was funny ay times and it was good to catch up with the others from the previous books to see their HEA continuing on.

A fitting end

A fun romance story with some good fantasy thrown in. Love both MCs.

What I have an issue is, and I'll try to stay vague so no big spoilers. Is how the Kangaroo shifter (sorry, forgot names) really downplays when the demon MC is very obviously being put through pain by something. It's something I've noticed through a few of the author's books now and it frustrates me so much. Especially when it goes against how the character would act normally to that. Wish the author either hides such pains far better from the ML so it makes sense why he's suddenly acting oblivious. Or have ML react far more to such situations.

Except for the above, both main characters are green flags and so sweet!

Fun romance

I grew very attached to the characters and laughed so often during this book. An imaginative, fantastical, fun and sexy listen.

Oh no, Supernatural Selection’s dating spells are on the fritz and have been mothballed for review. That doesn’t seem to stop kangaroo shifter and rock band drummer Hamish Mulherne from requesting their services. When Zeke Oz, the harried demon minion and Supernatural Selection’s only productive employee, resorts to manually finding Hamish’s perfect match, he doesn’t expect to be one of the candidates. As usual, EJ Russell delivers two loveable characters: Hamish is uncomplicated and loyal; Zeke is sweet and honourable, never expecting to be treated with kindness. I loved their interactions and slowly blossoming affection. There was a lot of gentle humour and creative ideas in this story that I really enjoyed. My first minor sticking point is that this is the final book in a spin-off series and it pulled in a lot of characters from the Fae Out of Water series which I didn’t know. If I’d have done my research I’d know to read that series first because it was pretty confusing dealing with so many cameos. My second minor sticking point is that this needed to be run past an Australian cultural editor, Hamish used phrases that were British, not Australian. Audio narrator Greg Boudreaux did a great job of differentiating the huge number of voices and accents required; Aussie accents are quite difficult and Greg did a very acceptable job.

A sweet, fun story but a crowded cast!

The performance by Greg had brought each character to life and encapsulated the listening experience

Great story and characters
