Hunting Fiends for the Ill-Equipped by Annette Marie

Hunting Fiends for the Ill-Equipped (Guild Codex Universe, #9) (The Guild Codex: Demonized, #3)

by Annette Marie

Robin uncovers a dangerous secret from her family's past in Hunting Fiends for the Ill-Equipped.

I thought I understood power.

My parents taught me that magic attracts equal danger, and everything I've seen since becoming a demon contractor confirms it. I've witnessed how power twists and corrupts—and I've tasted power no human should wield.

I thought I knew greed.

Ambition and avarice drove my family into hiding. My parents died for someone else's greed. I've never hunted anything in my life, but now I'm hunting their killer—with my demon's help.

I thought I'd seen evil.

But with each step closer to my parents' murderer, I'm uncovering a different sort of evil, piece by hidden piece. I've stumbled into an insidious web that silently, secretly ensnares everything it touches. My demon and I came as the hunters . . .

. . . but I think we might be the prey.

My hands are still shaking like 45 minutes after finishing this!

HOLY SH*T!

THIS BOOK. THISBOOK, you guys! IT IS THE VERY BEST GUILD CODEX BOOK TO DATE! I’M IN SHOCK! I’M IN LOVE!

NO... I’M...

I’M SCREAMING;
I’M CRYING;
MY HEART IS GOING ABSOLUTELY F*CKING BONKERS;
MY MIND IS BLOWN TO SMITHEREENS!

HOLY MOLY- the degree of intensity of the events that just went down was just off the charts!

Starting out, I didn’t know if this would even come close to the insanity that was Druid Vices and A Vodka (The Guild Codex: Spellbound #6)... but I had some lofty expectations; I knew it would FOR SURE pack a punch, and that I was in for a ride. Little did I know (yes, please put this on the official record), I’D BE GOING ON THE BEST ROLLERCOASTER RIDE OF THE GUILD CODEX UNIVERSE THUS FAR!

Plus... Zylas & Robin are just... a force. I am so very in love with both of them and seeing their relationship constantly shift & take on new shapes is so much fun- and this book delivers! There is a lot that is revealed that finally really fed my curiosity regarding the communication barrier between demon and human/mythic. These two really... learn and come to truly understand much about one other in this third installment... and it is just.... Vh’renith! Zylas, you wonderful mystery! Full of surprises.

OH MY LORD. THIS WAS EVERYTHING. Sun, moon, stars. All of it.

I honestly don’t want to give ANYTHING away. This just needs to be READ! One of my absolute favorite reads of 2020. Possibly currently holding #1 spot!

Also, I think my soul was re-born? Annette Marie is one of the absolute greatest storytellers of our time. She truly knows how to make you feel. The vast & vivid array of emotions that I experienced while reading Hunting Fiends was truly something special. I have to say that reading this book truly is an experience, one that I will treasure for a very long time (hence my protectiveness regarding spoilery
