Dark Horse

A Demon's Guide to the Afterlife, Book 1

By: Kel Carpenter, Aurelia Jane

Narrated by: Savannah Gilmore, Adam Gold

My husband killed me.

Instead of spending my immortal afterlife pissed off and angry, I moved on. I became someone.

Sure, that someone was a demon with the highest track record of reform, a.k.a. punishment, in Hell. But who’s bragging?

I’m right on my way to retirement behind the pearly gates. Everything was going fine...until the Risk Witches saw a terrible vision.

Three men. Each scarred in their own way, born with powers that haven’t been seen in eons.

Upper management sent the best to correct their path. Angels. Poltergeists. Nothing worked.

These men were too stubborn. Too bad. Too untamed....

So they sent me.

Roman. Ezra. Dorian.

Combined, they have enough power to end the world—and they will.

Unless I find a way to stop them first.

Breaking people is my job. But this time...my job might break me.

Author's Note: This is a completed adult paranormal romance series with multiple love interests and some dark elements. If you don't like strong but flawed women and alphahole heroes that need to learn a thing or two about boundaries—this book is not for you. If you love works by Tate James, Ivy Asher, Raven Kennedy, Joely Sue Burkhart, and Kristy Cunning, then dive right in to the afterlife. It'll be one hell of a ride.

Loved it!

So good! Couldn’t stop listening once I started this book! I can’t wait to start book 2

Loved it!

I had previously read this book and loved it but the dual narrators definitely added another level of excellence to this book! I cannot wait to hear the rest when they come out!

Great start!

Dark horse is a fantastic start to a series I think I’m going to love. Fury our demon MC was very badass and wasn’t willing to let others walk all over her. I loved getting to know her and see how she interacted with the guys. Things were heating up a lot at times. I couldn’t stop listening to the story and was sad when the end came. I want way more of these characters and this world. Fury had some great interactions especially with many of the characters from hell. I am very excited for what’s next.

Awesome new story find!!

So glad I bought this book!! Great story line, good character development and great narration!! Can’t wait for the next book!!

Loved it

completely pulled me in from the very first chapter and never let go. The concept feels refreshingly original, blending paranormal romance with a dark, immersive afterlife in a way that feels both bold and addictive. The storytelling is smooth, engaging, and emotionally charged, making it impossible not to get attached to the characters and their journey. There’s a confident momentum to this book every scene feels intentional, every twist lands, and the pacing keeps you turning pages without effort. I genuinely have no critiques for this installment; it’s one of those rare reads that just works. Easily my top read of the year so far, and I’m beyond excited to continue the four-book series to see if the author can keep this incredible energy going all the way to the end.
