First book in a saga.

Ok I didn’t realise this was the first book of a saga- clearly I didn’t read the blurbs, but it should pan out to be brilliant.
Alexis has underplayed her magic her whole life- living in the grey will do that, but she was never aware of the skills that she possesses either. Her wards have lived a harsh life already and they're only teenagers but she'll do everything she can to help them.
As for Kieran (not sure of the spelling given its audible) we don't know much about him yet but there is compassion. It would also appear that these two are fated mates given the push and pull between them. No spicy scenes as yet but I'm sure they'll explode with an inferno.

Narrator was great, her accents are delightful. Just would've been nice with a male voice for the male part.

An Unusual and Interesting Fantasy

Really enjoyed listening to this story. I found it unique and involving with a little bit of everything.
Looking forward to the rest of the books.

Excellent start to a series

‘Sin & Chocolate’ is book one in K.F. Breene’s Demigods of San Francisco series.

After read Ms Breene’s Darkness series and falling in love with Stefan & Sasha, I just knew I had to give this series a go. This authors ability to create such spectacular and unique worlds with characters that have wonderfully addictive, strong and witty personalities is skill that needs to be praised and acknowledged. So well done and a highly expl*sive start to a series.

Alexis is deep poor doing everything she can to take care of her two wards that the world had given up on. Being a magical living in a dual-society zone (where people with and without magic live) with a magical and non-magical teens to take care of means staying under the radar and not cause trouble. Having to make sacrifices to make sure to be able to afford the medication needed for Mordecai means wearing shoes that are old, ratty and full of holes. But being poor with no spare change doesn’t mean her life is horrible, she just needs to dream small. So when a Demigod almost runs her over and her life is turned upside down, and having the life she had is never going to be the same again. Especially when the Demigod doesn’t just want her magic abilities he wants her as well.

Now I am going to say this right off from the start, I do NOT condone to stalking. Ok! But I wouldn’t mind having a certain sexy Demigod following me and trying to help, even if it is a manipulative.

This is one heck of a start to a series, I had no idea what to expect when I went in and I’ll tell you this I was not disappointed. Although it is the start there is a lot of explaining and overload of information and backstory that needs to be explained. I still thoroughly enjoyed the flow of the story. The characters all bring a little something unique and wonderful to the story and dynamic flow.

Alexis puts up a strong front with being the “mother” figure to her wards. She is a character that is going to grow on you, I wasn’t sure about her at the beginning. I felt that she allowed Mordecai and Daisy control and tell her what to do to much, I understand that in their house it’s a democracy, but they are 15 & 14 year olds... I’m hoping that in the next book she has a really character growth.

Kieran will irk and annoy you in the beginning. But his character is a little misunderstood, very closed off and careful to open up and trust people he doesn’t know. The guy has mummy and daddy issues so give him a bit of a break. He try’s to do right by Alexis, Mordecai and Daisy but it’s misguided and manipulative. His six though, will you over in no time.

I can’t wait to see what’s next for Alexis and Kieran, I’ve enjoyed this book and hope that the series continues to intrigue me as this book has.

enjoyable, except the action scenes are slow

Fun observations, engaging characters, some snappy lines. I'm already listening to the next in the series. However, the action (fight, run) scenes are so dithery and over-described it kinda makes me feel almost anxious. Time moves so much faster than that when under threat, the scenes feel like slow-mo or like the opponent will stroll up and do something fatal whilst the character witters on. Also, do NOT look to this series for the depiction of healthy romantic relationships. I'm okay with that.
