About this book
I've made a lot of mistakes in my life, but accidentally becoming a mercenary for a demon might be the biggest one yet…
My inner dragon has always been more like a devil on my shoulder, talking me into making bad decisions and creating chaos. I have a hoard full of demon artifacts, each one likely to cost me my life if the owners ever come after me.
I thought accidentally becoming a mercenary was the worst mistake I would make in a single day… until I inadvertently mated myself to a demon. It's not my fault his mating ring was so pretty!
It'll be fine… all I have to do is fulfill my contract, not do anything else to make things worse, and avoid falling for the surprisingly sweet, himbo demon who thinks I'm his mate. Should be easy… right?

Ok, I didn't really expect much from this book, but boy was I wrong. Loved all the characters, very different take on dragons and demons, but the worldbuilding was very skillful and thorough. Hope there are many, many more books to come. Poor Drax, how do you woo a human (even when his inner dragon is on your side) when your resources are out-of-date books and you've been out of touch with human society for centuries? It is a wild, crazy, sweet ride, and more than once I wanted to smack Mac and...

Drax had to be the sweetest demon that has ever been written. That demon had it bad for Mac and would have and did anything for Mac to make him happy. I'm not sure how I missed this spin-off book but I'm so happy I found it and was introduced to this new cast of characters and their little found family in the underworld. I hope they all get their own happily ever afters. ) One person found this helpful

Another wonderful piece by Mika Nix. Just by this book I can already tell this is going to be another amazing series. I already want to read the next book. The characters are amazing. An excellent storyline. And who doesn’t love Dragons, demons, wolf shifters, gargoyles, vampires and humans? You will meet all these just in the first book plus more. I’m sure there’s more to come throughout this series. Oh and before I forget, there is even a cameo appearance of a beautiful couple from The Drake...

I could not put this down. I devoured it in a few hours. I rarely give 5 stars but this deserves it. The character development. The side characters. The emotions. It wasn't super heavy but it was still enough to fulfill. It's not fluff, it has substance. What I really liked is that it was a complete story in itself. You feel satisfied at the end and you are eager to get to the next characters- but its not a cliff hanger or duet. A new world was created. That's a challenge. To have a new world...

Enjoyed this story about finding your place in the world. Mac’s dragon lives pretty things but he’s not sure what attracts him to the items. Mac is kind of aimless until he meets a demon and strikes a deal out of desperation. That hasty decision leads him to Drax who knows exactly why Mac has been brought into his life. Mac now has a decision to make, he’s making friends and has a sense of belonging. Enjoyed getting to know the guys, looking forward to more from this world. ) One person found...
