About this listen
So far, while working at a ghost matchmaking agency, the past week has gone thusly:
1) a murdered ghost bride who is very, very pissed off (don’t blame her, I’d be pissed off too)
2) adopted by Chinese hellhounds (I THOUGHT THEY WERE DOGS, OKAY)
3) wake up magically soul-bonded to the sexy demon slayer Zhen (While I agree he’s—expansive hand waving—HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?!)
I do not need a fourth incident to make my life more interesting, please and thank you.
Spoiler alert: I get one anyway.

©2023 Allie Brahms (P)2023 Allie BrahmsIt's an open magic story but even that trope is tweaked. This author is just so talented and has come up with a very original world. I'd say this is a character driven story because it's Kris and Zhen's interactions that kept me glued to the page, even while they were working through a mystery, dangers, dysfunctional family meetings and getting to know guardian hellhounds.
The characters are all brilliant! I want Kris as my best friend - she is funny, sharp, caring, genuine and a straight talker. Zhen is a wonderful grandson, son and a protective boyfriend who can cook AND build bookshelves (necessary after taking Kris to a bookstore on a date where he bought her trolley of books). I think that makes him book boyfriend of the year! Their communication is life goal level! I just need more of them.
The story emphasises the importance of family and community support and never once is the miscommunication trope used. It's honestly one of the best books I've 'read' in a very long time and I now understand how people want to be able to read a book for the first time again. There's a second in the series though so I'm going to read that one next.
The narrators are so good! I love their voices and accents. They both do emotions and a range of characters well, bringing them all to life with energy and real skill. My only problem was that Zhen's voice often seemed to be coming from a distance, so his volume was lower than Kris'.
This is a real gem of a book, written by an accomplished author (Allie Brahms is a pen-name for Honor Raconteur, who I often see recommended). I can't wait for more in this series.
Amazing!
