About this listen

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.

so good I couldn't stop

this isn't even my genre! I got caught hooked by the cookie contract (so many unexpected laughs) and wound up buying the whole guild codex series. Cris brings the characters to life. I'm so glad I impulse bought the first book, I had to much fun with these characters.

I rather enjoyed the narrator for this book in particular. She did a good job with the characters and the overall narrative.👏

Robin Page had lost both of her parents. Her uncle is the executor of their will and seems to be dawdling in giving her her inheritance. She thinks it's because of her maternal line's grimoire, which she's desperate to find and protect.

She discovers he's an illegal demon summoner and contractor. She ends up betrayed and accidentally forges a contract with a demon her uncle summoned to save her life as she's dying!😳 Chaos the ensues!💥

This was enjoyable enough, but I felt the story didn't really get exciting until the last quarter of the book. The hook made me curious about reading the next in the series, but as I have to read and listen, I'm not sure I want to risk the cost.🤔 I might come back to it at a later date if the storyline plays on my mind enough.

I do think others might enjoy it more than me. It was witty, and I think if you've read the other series, which I haven't, you'd be more into it.

Sexy demon and a nerdy heroine.

I really love this series by Annette Marie, fae and Demons have always been my favourite genre. Whilst there's no fae in this, there is magic in several forms. The storyline is very engaging right from the very start, it gets straight into the action. The characters are interesting and very well written, the way they rub off on each other is a whole new level of entertaining. Zylas is so perfectly written that you won't be able to help but fall in love with him, and Robin is a perfect main character. Her shy awkward personality is something alot of us can relate to, her imperfections make her feel more believable. The world is described well enough, and the lore is perfectly balanced. This is my favourite Annette Marie series, one of the most emotional and compelling stories I've read several times.

a neat side story

an interesting way to explore the demonica and arcana type mythics while giving a MC in a simulare situation as Tori

early on par with the main series but far less of an underdog story. while the MC may have a "runt" of a demon its stil a demon and this body strong.

Taming Demons for Beginner's

Found this book full of the same sadness as she has lost everything when her parents died and her Uncle is making sure he takes the rest. Her kindness wins the day! Full of fun as she stumbles to find who she is.

Excellent

Omg this book... what can I say to express how AMAZING!!!! it is. The world we know and love from the guild cortex but from a brand new perspective.... new character to love and hate... its funny, exciting, and enthralling. With kickass characters and hatable slime balls.. the story line fits in with what is happening in guild cortex perfectly het leaves plenty of room for it not to be intertwined completely... I absolutely love robin the mc.. absolutely brilliant I can’t wait for the next one.

Got cheated

My fault, I thought Chris Dukehart was a guy and so the protagonist is also a guy POV but was disappointed. So much melodrama and the main character is weak.
