Rule one: Don't look at the demon.

When I arrived at my uncle's house, I expected my relatives to be like me - outcast sorcerers who don't practice magic. I was right about the sorcery, but wrong about everything else. 

Rule two: Don't listen to the demon.

My uncle chose a far deadlier power. He calls creatures of darkness into our world, binds them into service contracts, and sells them to the highest bidder. And I'm supposed to act like I don't know how illegal and dangerous it is. 

Rule three: Don't talk to the demon.

All I had to do was keep my nose out of it. Pretend I didn't find the summoning circle in the basement. Pretend I didn't notice the shadowy being trapped inside it. Pretend I didn't break the rules. But I did, and now it's too late. 

Make sure to check out the companion series, The Guild Codex: Spellbound, available now, and The Guild Codex: Warped, coauthored by Rob Jacobsen.

Read this in the order suggested for the Guild Codex universe meaning it was book 5 or 6. I am all over the place on this one. this first half is a 2. it was a brutal slog to get to chapter 13 which is when the action finally picks up. the rest is a 4 except when we get to see the scenes we have already experienced from Tori's perspective. those are real fun... I'd give those a 5. Glad this ends with her in the Crow and Hammer as the authors real strong suite is interesting characters interacting. This had far to little of that and awesome Demon never quite filled those boots.

Long slow start

I loved Robin and Zylas so much, I can't wait to see more of them!

The events of this book overlap with Demon Magic and a Martini (Spellbound series), but I recommend reading Demon Magic first. Just like in Demon Magic, this book continues to show us more about demon magic and their contract, and it was interesting to learn more about it, because Demonicas seem to have been the outcast mythics since the beginning of Spellbound.

Some moments that were supposed to feel more stressful didn’t have as much impact as they could have, since I already knew how things would end for Robin and Zylas, because we saw them in Demon Magic and a Martini. On the other hand, it shone a new light on some events that we briefly saw in Demon Magic, and it was nice to see more of Darius, too, in this book.

I liked Robin a lot. She is a petite bookworm, and not the usual sexy or badass female lead. I would even say that she lacks confidence and doesn’t think too highly of herself at times, but she is strong and relatable. She always follows her moral compass, and that’s what leads her to show kindness to a demon when no one else would. Robin is a little naïve and ends up with a demon bound to her, which is much more than she can chew, but she never gave up and managed to make the best of the shitty hand she was dealt.

Zylas is a demon, and of course, he had to look like a sexy man to be more likable. That being said, he does not act like a man; he is a demon, with a whole different set of boundaries and behaviors, and I like how the author managed to make him likable, while still showing how dangerous he is. Robin and him are allies for now, but I wouldn’t say that he cares about her; he wants to be free and go home, and understands that he needs Robin to achieve his goal. There is no insta-lust or insta-friendship, and I am eager to see how their weird bond will grow in the next books.

Just like the Spellbound series, this book has a fast pace, a compelling setting full of action and magic, and a straightforward plot that is easy to get into. Robin is very different from Tori, but just as likable, if not more, and Zylas is more intriguing than the three mages, so it is a great start for this spinoff series.

Love the characters!

Poor Robin. she's really has a rough go of it. stuck between a rock and a hard place she makes a hard decision and it changes her life forever. Robin forges new bonds and alliances while trying to keep a grave secret.

Annette Marie has created a wonderful new world inside our own. with the demonized series we get to see a new side to the Lready existing story of the guild codex and earn more about what's going on. Her stories are amazing really brought to life to the point you forget it isn't real. Her work paired with Cris Dukheart's narration is an unmatchable pair.

Reviews seem to be split on this book. Personally I am on team better than the OG series.

I am totally hooked on the whole series. First book series I have come across that I feel is meant to be binged. While far from a great literary novel, the overall series has been a joy to listen too.

The pace is definitely slower. Robin in more calculated and cautious than Tori. As the first person narration shows.

Robin is the more relatable of the two as she approaches the world with all the uncertainty of a mild mannered 20 year old nerd. However her level of reserve allows the book to be a bit more sexually risky.

Overall if you enjoyed the Original series this book is just as good. A lot slower and a little more Juicy (o_-) (YA style, so not too juicy).

Great companion novel!
