And So The Breaking Begins: Mindbreaker Duet, Book 1 (An Age of War and Prophecy 3)

by Dakota Brown
After losing her family to a demon prince, Chris Price traded her exorcist gear for a pizza cutter. She is content living a quiet life of dough tossing and paperwork, desperate to keep her past buried. But the supernatural world has a way of finding you, especially when your past comes knocking in the form of a gorgeous, manipulative friend who needs her unique talents for one last job.
What starts as a reluctant favor quickly spirals into a chaotic, steamy mess. Chris suddenly finds herself juggling a house full of supernatural entities—including an incubus, a hellhound, and a brooding nephilim—who are all vying for her attention. As a dangerous crime syndicate plots to unleash a demon prince, this reluctant hero must embrace her heritage to save the world, whether she wants to or not.
This pulse-pounding paranormal romance masterfully blends high-stakes action with a refreshing, character-driven reverse-harem dynamic. Eschewing toxic tropes for genuine chemistry, the story delivers both intense exorcism battles and red-hot spice. If you are looking for a supernatural thrill ride featuring a tough, relatable heroine and a collection of magnetic, otherworldly men, this is the addictive series you have been waiting for.

I loved the lack of alphahole abusive love interests in this series, as well as a refreshing main character who is tough and unique without being too in-your-face overdone bad-a$$. The MC is also a mature adult woman who actually acts like it. The harem/polycule is varied, not just one type of supernatural, and you can actually tell the men apart (unlike many other RH). The plotline is engaging, characters are awesome, the sexy times are fun. The only two things I would have added to this...

There were not a lot of dull moments in this story, definitely entertaining with a good deal of action, a decent amount of spicy action as well. My biggest complaint is concerning the hellhound but maybe things will change in book 2? We will see, excited to start that next Spice 🌶️ 3/5 Plot 4/5 )

Wow this was a phenomenal start to a new series. Price is a unique character. The first pizza place owner/exorcist I've seen. A little crazy and bad a** in her own way. A good storyline and some amazing characters. I literally did not put this book down until I was finished. Action started in the very first chapter and did not stop. The only thing that I did not like was her speech and accent. She adopted her own but to me it read like it was forced. It may have not been so bad but she used the...

This is a book I'd definitely recommend as it was one that held my interest right from the beginning till the very end without ever becoming boring or over doing the day to day details or too many bedroom scenes. It was a fun easy read that left me wanting to dive right into book two, which I'll totally be doing as soon as I finish this review so I'm going to keep this short and sweet. My one and only complaint about this book that bothered me so much I had to dock a star off was how much the h...
