Queen of the Damned by Debra Dunbar Pdf

Enjoy this humorous Urban Fantasy series with an antihero demon by author Debra Dunbar. *** War kinda sucks. The Fallen angels have awakened and are gathering their forces in preparation to launch an infernal attack on heaven. Well, the jokes on them, because there is no one left in heaven. Seems I’ve accidentally banished all the angels, and the place is emptier than a booze bottle at closing time. Sadly that hysterical bit of impish chaos needs to remain a secret, because if the angels discovered I was behind the banishment before I manage to get them back home, they’ll hunt me down and kill me, and all the archangels on the Ruling Council might not be enough to save me. *** If you like Shannon Mayer, K.F. Breene, Shayne Silvers, Hailey Edwards, or Yasmine Galenorn, you'll love this series. The Imp world includes demons, angels, werewolves, elves, vampires, and more.
