BLURB:
Lovelorn kangaroo shifter Hamish Mulherne, drummer for the mega-hit rock band Hunter’s Moon, waited years for the band’s jaguar shifter bassist to notice him. Instead, she’s just gotten married and is in a thriving poly relationship. How is Hamish supposed to compete with that? But with everyone else in the band mated and revoltingly happy, he needs somebody. Since he can’t expect true love to strike twice, he signs up with Supernatural Selection. Because what the hell. When Zeke Oz was placed at Supernatural Selection through the Sheol work-release program, he thought he was the luckiest demon alive. But when he seems responsible for several massive matchmaking errors, he’s put on notice: find the perfect match for Hamish, or get booted back to Sheol for good. The only catch? He has to do it without the agency’s matchmaking spells, and Hamish simply will not engage.
But Zeke starts to believe that the reason all of Hamish’s dates fizzle is because nobody in the database is good enough for him. And Hamish realizes that his perfect match might be the cute demon who’s trying so hard to make him happy.
REVIEW:
This has been such a good series. For me, anyway. Paranormals everywhere. Mixed up marriages and dates. Fending off assholes or evil. Yeah, I love it. I was really hoping after reading the first two that Zeke would get his story somewhere and yay! He did!
If you’ve read the first two, you know Zeke has worked so hard to help supes find their perfect match. But after the last two, there is an investigation because something went wrong. Well according to the office. According to the ones involved in the matches, it went very right. After a bit of get to know you though. But because of these supposed bad matches, the whole operation has been put on hold. Yet somehow Hamish got through. And now Zeke has to find his perfect match or he goes back to the abysmal Sheol for good. It’s bad enough he can’t go anywhere or do much on Earth but at least he was away from that place. But he has yet to figure out how to find a perfect match for Hamish when Hamish is making it very difficult and is still obviously hung up over someone else. To make matter worse, the matches he does find, are horribly, horribly wrong. Hamish is starting to figure out why his matches are crappy, and hopefully he can do something about it before it’s too late.
This is another one of those times that if I could reach in a book to slap someone. For Zeke, life is torturous. His ‘master’ decides if he can eat, among other things, he’s not really allowed to go anywhere except his apartment and the office and he’s stuck with one of the biggest assholes for a babysitter. Because heaven forbid a demon run around without supervision. He wishes life could be different. But he tries to consider himself fortunate that he at least is out of the hell know as Sheol. And I feel so bad for him. He works so hard. He’s being cheated, manipulated, abused and more. When all he wants to really do is make people happy and be happy himself. Yeah for a demon that’s odd, but it’s how he is. And everything in you wants to give him the world.
For Hamish, he just wants the one person he’s wanted for so long to notice him. But it’s never going to happen. Especially considering she has a wife AND a boyfriend. Not wanting to be the oddball at his friend’s wedding, he agrees to try the perfect match thing. But gets more than he bargained for in an adorable little demon. And he’s everything Zeke really needs. Hamish tries to show Zeke the world. It’s hard to do with Zeke’s restrictions. But that’s funny in itself. And Zeke ends up becoming something Hamish needs. If only some beings would leave them alone.
It’s been such a fun series. A fun book. Even a paintball match between lots of paranormals in Fae. Can’t get much better than that lol. A definite recommendation.
