Über diesen Titel

After a deal with loan sharks sours, Darlene's brother is permanently transformed into a chipmunk. Not one to accept impossibility as a good excuse for failure, she's determined to rescue her brother and secure revenge against those who'd poisoned him with grade-a transformatives.

If she wants to perform a miracle, she'll need to join forces with a divine, but the man upstairs and his angels refuse to help.

None of the other so-called benevolent divines are willing to help her, either.

Running out of time and options, Darlene prepares to storm the gates of hell for her brother.

She never expected to fall in love with the Devil.

Warning: This novel contains a woman with a chip on her shoulder, humor, and one hell of a hero. Proceed with caution.

This audiobook is mostly an explanation for background information of two or three other books of the "with a body count"-series. Chronologically this story is placed before the happenenings of Book 5: Whatever for Hire. It is more interesting if you read book 5 first (some mysteries are better saved for last!) since "A Chipmunk on her Shoulder" only answers one question from the very beginning of book 5 which is nice background info, but not all that necessary to know. Around 20 years after book 5, the story "Client from Hell" takes place (which is obvioulsy part of the "with a body count"-series but weirdly enough not directly listed among its titles) and there, the main plot of this book is mentioned in a one-liner since one of the main charcters there is a side character here.
I won't recommend listening to this audiobook at all - maybe reading it for free on kindle would be worth it, though? I did not yet find out which one the second story, mentioned in this story is, since I didn't listen to or read the whole series yet and most likely won't after experiencing this catastrophe of a story.

Anyone who read at least two books from this author is aware of how many times the exact same words or whole sentences are used in repetition. Usually these repetitions aren't quite as bad as in this book since the same sentence is only used about twice and with a few other sentences in between and it doesn't happen all that often. But this book seems like it's 80% repetition, with a sentence or word being repeated 3-4 times with barely anything in between said repetitions. It makes it seem like the author is NOT aware of what a synonym is and as if it was merely used as a tool to double or even triple the book in the amount of pages it should have had... And the very monotone voice acting makes listening to this even more a test of patience.

Not worth the money and time
