Publisher's summary

Rejected at birth and raised in a village of tiefling misfits, Farideh expects a life without friends, love, or control over her destiny. Then she makes a pact with a devil named Lorcan, and everything changes.

Lorcan promises all she ever dreamed of and asks for nothing in return. Her twin sister, Havilar, urges Farideh to resist the devil’s sway. But Farideh’s not so sure. Lorcan may be dangerous but the power he offers is exhilarating.

In the ruins of Neverwinter, Farideh’s doubts get tangled up in a devilish snare six layers deep. A succubus playing human pawns against an otherworldly foe sees the twins as obstacles in her path. And Lorcan’s monstrous sisters have their eyes on the city - and on Farideh. There’s no time to question her pact with Lorcan - it will take every ounce of Farideh’s newfound powers to get out of Neverwinter alive.

A great story with a headache sprinkled over top.

Would you try another book from Erin M. Evans and/or Dina Pearlman?

Of course. The first Brimstone Angles book was fantastic, and the author as well as the narrator do a great job through and through. This particular book, however, will test your patience with the AUDIOBOOK format.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Tam. He's finally got a chance to shine in this novel and gives a better understanding of life as a cleric, harper, and as a troubled man. His moments are my favorite for the first half of the book.

What three words best describe Dina Pearlman’s performance?

"I really tried." The issue, and the point of me WRITING a review, is that this book is completely smothered in flashbacks, cross scenes (where two separate scenes are happening at the same time, flipping between them both). Pearlman does a great job with her character voices, in my opinion, but most of these flashback scenes and illusory details end up sounding like a paragraph with no punctuation - no way of telling what she's talking about or why.

I would have preferred if there was a tonal difference between the present and flashbacks as well as a pause between scenes and flashbacks.

[Example]"A hand reached out and rested on her shoulder why hadn't Tam come to check on Dahl's progress?"

Did Brimstone Angels: Lesser Evils inspire you to do anything?

Buy the next two books - which is all an author can hope for!

Any additional comments?

Please please please please realize there will be scenes in this book that will not make sense at all unless you're paying close attention. Whenever something sounds confusing to you - i suggest you back the audobook up a fair amount and re-listen more closely. Take a breath, don't get mad, and realize that it's SUPPOSED to be disjointed and off-putting in those particular parts. As readers, most of us would re-read those lines 2 or 3 times before moving on, you don't get that option listening to the audio. Just bear with it.

A fun tale of a bunch of Adventurers.

The plot is not terribly complex or well wrought, but the characters are fun and the relationships are compelling so that I remained interested till the end.

Another Hit!

I really enjoyed the book and how it manages to keep many different plot threads and back storys in check. Got a little slow near the middle but it was key information to Know to keep the story fluid. Definitely worth a listen/read

I struggled to finish this

Not the best story by far. For a FR book, it had a lot of far too unnecessary teen angst. The characters and writing didn't pull me in at all. I will be refunding it, and I don't do that lifhtlylightly

Beware the answers you seek...Whahahaha!

If you could sum up Brimstone Angels: Lesser Evils in three words, what would they be?

Chaotic. Devilish. Uh...Books?

There are so many little subplots in this book it's hard to sum up in three words.

What other book might you compare Brimstone Angels: Lesser Evils to and why?

Brimstone Angels: Lesser Evils is the second book after Brimstone Angels and while the plot wasn't as attention grabbing as the first book, it was still good. It continues were the first book left off.

Have you listened to any of Dina Pearlman’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Dina Pearlman does an excellent job on character voices. The only thing I could think needs improvement from the audio was the fact there was no pause or anything when characters switched perspective.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I like all the characters in this book, but sometimes the subplots seemed to get in the way of the main plot. Farideh's obsessive need to get Lorcan back to the point of putting everyone around her in danger seems a bit forced and quickly becomes buried under a stronger plot involving the character Tam, a competitive race to find the hidden tomb of an ancient mad wizard and the dangerous knowledge he has buried with him.

There are a bunch of side plots involving relationship issues as well. Fun, but kind of overly intense sometimes. One of my favorite scenes involve a hilarious and awkward conversation Farideh's sister, Havilar has when she tries to get simple romantic advice from an ancient all knowing talking book.

Any additional comments?

Read Brimstone Angels before this one, you will get a better grasp at what is going on and who the characters are. The events in "Brimstone Angels" is what most of the strength behind this story is drawn upon.

Narrator needs work

The book has a solid story but the narrator seem to yell unnecessarily at times and had a few pronunciation slip ups

A solid listen.

The sequel to a stellar first novel, this one is a well written, if oddly paced, continuation of Faredah's story that definitely makes you feel like you're listen to a D&D campaign.

A great character story

There are many characters to love in this book however, it does get a bit slow during the middle but because of the characters I’m pretty sure I’m gonna finish the series
