OverSouls: Demon Eater

The Demon Eater Trilogy, Book 1

By: Marie LeBlank

Narrated by: Skylar Holt, Francis Doom

“Soul is the source of life. It powers the wards and relics that keep humanity safe. Nothing can live without Soul, not even demons. But since demons have no souls of their own, they come to steal yours.” (Grandmaster Suzume, Founder of the Black Art of demon cultivation)

When a reaper breaks into the fortress sanctuary and slaughters every living soul inside, 15-year-old Aura flees to the Grand Citadel.‬

But inside the walls, powerful forces are wrestling for control and raising long-buried demons, eager to tear free of their cages.

To stay out of the belly of the hungry capital, Aura must feed her own inner darkness while evading the Royal Exorcists and keeping out of the holy fire. Unfortunately, her inexperience attracts the attention of the sick and twisted creatures haunting the backstreets.

Worst of all is the Demon Eater, an insatiable demon cultivator who tries to tear Aura to pieces on sight, and grows increasingly obsessed with chasing all her inner monsters out into the light.

Fantastic story, well written and narrated.

New to the fantasy genre this book got me hooked. Written so well that the images of the characters and citadel start to appear in your mind. This helped with the lively narrator Skylar Holt, who assist the characters personality to the next level. it's difficult to put the book away and it was a sad moment when I made it to the end, can't wait till the next book is out. I will do a re-listening of this one for sure.
