Hi Cara,
Today I am reviewing Shadow Thief by Eva Chase. This is the first book in the Flirting with Monsters series. I listened to Shadow Thief via Audiable.
One sassy pyromaniac thief, three sexy-as-sin monsters, and a paranormal conspiracy of epic proportions.
It was an ordinary job. Another night, another asshole collector of the supernatural. I free some poor little beasties from their cages, pocket a few trinkets to pay my bills, and burn the place down on my way out. Just call me the Robin Hood of monster emancipation.
I didn’t count on three manly monsters following me home like lost puppies. Stunningly hot lost puppies, but still. Now I’ve got a seductively cheeky incubus, a sweetly enthusiastic demon, and a grimly stoic angel camped out in my kitchen. They’re determined to repay me for my help, and they won’t get out of my apartment until they’re satisfied we’re even.
To be fair, they’ve got no place else to go. A covert band of hunters captured their boss, and the trail is ice-cold. I’ll lend a hand if it means I can send them packing… and when it looks like we’re up against the same creeps who murdered the person I loved most, you’d better believe I’m all in.
Track down the baddies.
Steal back the boss.
Don’t get killed along the way.
Oh, and maybe hook up with a monstrous hottie or two.
Piece of cake.
I’m so going to regret this.
(Synopsis from Goodreads.com)
Shadow Thief is an urban fantasy that is heavy on the smut factor.
The premise of the monster living in a shadow realm and that they move through the Shadows. Also that it's not obvious what each of the "monsters" are unless they show their true form.
Sorsha Blaze is the leading lady in Shadow Thief. A woman who spends her time freeing shadow monsters from human collectors. This is how Sorcha ends up with three shadow protectors and involves a dangerous mystery. Sorcha is a character that I could take or leave. I like that she is dedicated to the cause. But the mangling of the song lyrics annoyed me.
The three shadows "monsters" Thorn, Snap and Ruse are all very beautiful and very different. Thorn and Ruse are great but my favourite is Snap. I love how excited he is about everything as this is the first time in the human world.
Shadow Thief is narrated by Vanessa Moyen and Aiden Snow. Both did a great performance, especially with giving the character different voices.
My rating for Shadow Thief is 3 out of 5.
