Review: Of Flame and Fang by Jay R Wolf

4.5 / 5 Stars!

A promising start to a new series!

Eva is Hades’ mercenary. A demon from the Undercity who hunts down the worst of the worst. Then one day, she’s really given the worst to hunt down by the Queen of the Undercity, Persephone. She’s not on her own this time though, she must partner with Fenrir, King of the Wolves. Did I mention that she hates werewolves?

As more twists and turns appear, can the two put aside their own dislike for demons and werewolves and work together. The fate of the entire world might depend on it.

Of Flame and Fang follows the perspectives of Eva and Fenrir. They are both flawed characters who sometimes care too much to their own detriment. This book is full of great world building and seems like the tip of the iceberg for the places this series can go. Little romance takes place in this book, but there’s no telling where things will go in the future.

I can’t wait for the next book!
