About this listen
Happily ever after . . . at least I hope.
When it's come to my friends and family, I've been willing to sacrifice just about anything to save them, but these last few months I've been sidelined from the fight—not anymore.
The time has come, and Abaddon is finally coming to collect what he was promised—and he is not alone. Those who I once thought were my allies, and others who I worried would stab me in the back have now partnered up with the demon to take what I hold most dear to my heart.
Some will be hurt, some will survive, and others will die in this battle to the finish.
Will we get the happily ever after we desire? Or will it all come to an end here?
Contains mature themes.

Story
Despite having what I consider to be a stellar disposition, I've acquired a laundry list of enemies. Narrowing it down won't be easy. But one thing is for sure: Whoever it is knows what I am and won't stop until I'm dead or behind bars. Out of options, I must delve into the supernatural underground I've tried so hard to avoid in search of help. Feeling more lost than ever before, I must own my truth to save myself. I'm not human. My kind no longer exist. I am...the last Valkyrie.

Story
I didn’t expect to survive death, but here I am and I’ve got questions—lots of them. Questions that lead me to a world I never knew existed in the shadows of the mundane. When I come face to face with a vampire who seems to have the answers I’m looking for, I find myself trapped in a game where I’m the pawn.

Story
All Dahlia wanted was her freedom. But first, she needed to buy out of her promised bonding - a promise that was made for her before she was even born. Almost a century of trying had taken its toll, and she did some things she isn’t proud of. She lost parts of herself along the way and flirted with the darkness inside her...and it flirted back. Everything in her life systematically blew up in her face one piece at a time. Blaming it all on the beautiful, egotistical vampire who showed up in her life would be easy, but it started long before he arrived.

"Happily Ever After" wasn't supposed to come with a do-over option. But when my husband of 20 years packs up and heads for greener pastures, and my son heads away to college, that's exactly what my midlife becomes. A do-over. This time, though, I plan to do things differently. Age is just a number, after all, and at 40 I'm ready to carve my own path. Eager for a fresh start, I make a somewhat unorthodox decision and move to a tiny town in the Sierra foothills.

I wouldn’t say my life is a dumpster fire — but it’s far from typical. I’m frenemies with the local werewolves’ Alpha, my clients are shady as hell, and my magic falls firmly in the WTF category. Mephisto, my mysterious and powerful client, is more interested in my magic than the jobs he’s hired me for. And I’m pretty sure my court-ordered therapist thinks I’m an ass.

People say I'm a weirdo. Sure, my idea of a party is a mini box of wine and hanging out with a feral raccoon, but it works for me. When I’m accused of murder, things get crazy. One, I learn that I have magic. Two, there’s a secret magical city hidden right in London itself. And three, my only hope is a vampire who’s sexy as sin and scary as the devil himself. He's called the Devil of Darkvale, and he all but owns Guild City. Some say I should just quit and turn myself in. Not a chance. I’m going to solve this murder myself.

Great audio brings this story to life
I couldn’t stop listening! I finished the entire McKenzie Grey series one after the other. Nicole Poole’s character voices and accents parter perfectly with Karina Espinosas quirky, humorous exciting tale. By book three, my kids were asking to listen with me while driving to and from school and sports! I loved the new take on mythical creature interactions and the mix of old lore with modern. Well done!

Love the sarcasm and voice actor
I just finished the series. Out of all the series I’ve listened to, this one had me laughing, crying and on edge. The main character is such a trouble maker and finds herself in so many situations but later finds out why. Maybe it’s her fault. Maybe it isn’t. Either way, I thoroughly enjoyed this series. It’ll be one I listen to again.

A very exciting conclusion to this series!
The very day after Mackenzie’s coronation to Queen of the Lycans, she kicks out the old king’s council (a group of misogynistic old men) instantly making enemies!
Then comes First Wolf Fenrir and the Valkyrie Raven who are both trying to kill her. Add a manipulative fae representative and a demon and you’ve got a mess, lastly the summit leaders from Europe and America are there for her coronation, add to that an unexpected pregnancy and we now have a perfect storm!
Watch as she and Sebastian try to navigate the political system and protect their unborn child from the demon trying to take the new baby’s soul!
I like the more mature Mackenzie who doesn’t have a hair trigger temper, but still knows how to kick butt and take names when called for!
