Hell of a Witch

About This Audiobook

Rachel Aaron’s *Hell of a Witch* isn’t just a sequel—it’s a full-throttle escalation where Bex, the demon Queen of Wrath, and Adrian, the witch who somehow keeps up with her, find themselves neck-deep in the fallout of their last insane victory. The duo’s unorthodox partnership, which somehow still works despite Bex’s habit of setting things on fire ‘for fun,’ is the beating heart of this turbo-charged fantasy. Aaron doesn’t just double down on the snark and supernatural action; she cranks it to eleven, balancing razor-sharp banter with stakes that feel terrifyingly real. Adrian’s moral compass wobbles under the weight of his new responsibilities, while Bex’s refusal to be anything resembling ‘responsible’ makes every decision feel like a powder keg. The world-building is slick, the magic system is a delightfully chaotic mess, and the duo’s dynamic is the kind that makes you cheer even when they’re making terrible choices—because you’d be doing the same if you had a demon queen for a best friend.

Nicholas Cain’s narration is the secret weapon here, giving Bex a growling, effortless swagger that makes her sound like she’s already mid-monologue about her latest rampage, while Adrian’s dry, exhausted wit cuts through the chaos with perfect timing. Cain’s range—switching from demonic menace to witchy irritation to full-blown panic—never falters, and his pacing ensures the story’s relentless momentum never drags. The audiobook’s production is crisp, with sound design that subtly enhances the action without ever overwhelming the narrative. If you crave fantasy that’s as smart as it is explosive, this is the sequel you’ve been waiting for—just don’t expect to put it down.
