About this listen

A stolen amulet. The demon hellbent on getting it back. And one powerless human just trying to survive the night.

When Jamie summons a demon in a Hail Mary attempt to survive a ghoul attack, he quickly realizes that he’s bitten off more than he can chew. With a soul-debt to pay and an angry warlock on his heels, Jamie must steal back the coveted amulet before time runs out. Unfortunately, his life isn’t the only thing hanging in the balance, and in the fight to save his soul, Jamie just might lose his heart.

How to Survive a Summoning is a paranormal short story that was first published in the Fated Mates Charity Anthology in September of 2023. The story content has not been altered.

This is a fun, quirky, entertaining story. It's different from other stories I have read or listened to from Nicole Knight. There is minimal angst or real danger or drama. It felt mostly like a comedy to me. While I enjoyed the story, I felt it was missing a few things, like history/world-building, and romance. I wanted to know more about the world Jamie and Lyn live in, and I never really felt the attraction between them (maybe a little from Lyn, but not Jamie). I can definitely see them forming a long-term friendship, but not romantic/sexual love or fated mates. That's okay by me, but not for a story billed as a fated mates romance. I loved the MCs, especially Lyn's mix of over-the-top fem and bad-a$$ery. I recommend it as a funny enjoyable story.

I enjoyed the narration. Nick really captured Lyn's fabulousness as well as Jamie's uptight doom-and-gloom mentality. I was surprised to see the human as the 'grump' and the demon as the 'sunny' in this grumpy/sunshine story, but it really worked.

I received a free copy of the audiobook, and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.

I really enjoyed this novella by Nikole Knight. I like her writing style and it is easy to get into the story.
This time it's about "fated companions" or grumpy/sunshine.
I liked the world building. It is dark and there are demons as well as humans.
Jamie finds himself in a hopeless situation and things turn out differently than expected.
I could really empathize with him. Lynn was cheeky and entertaining and together they have to find a way.
The story was interesting and entertaining to listen to.

The narrator Nick Newport did a good job and he chose appropriate voices for each character.

This novella is perfect for the closed door fantasy lovers! Jamie finds himself on the wrong end of a ghoul chase and just so happens to have an amulet that allows him to summon a Demon. The demon he gets though is Lyn, the enby, sassy & powerful fashionista demon. The rest of their story is mostly lighthearted and humorous with some great “who did this to you moments” and a very sweet final act. I definitely wish this was a full length book or hope we get to see these characters again in the future!

Super cute fated mates novella

Interesting take on the fated mates trope. I really liked the world building; it was very well thought. The world the author has created is dark and interesting. Jamie's situation was desperate and I felt for him. Lynn was wonderful and sassy and I liked them very much.
Lynn and Jamie were amazing together.
Great story, I would love to read stories set in this world. The narrator was absolutely fantastic. Great audio quality and a very beautiful and expressive voice. Perfect for the story!

Great story!

To be honest, I love everything Nikole Knight writes, and once again she came up with a unique and fascinating universe with lovable characters to get to know. Jamie was a human forced into working for a warlock, and Lyn was a fabulous demon who had a vibrant personality to match their fashion style. After one of Jamie's work assignments went horribly wrong, he summoned Lyn in a desperate attempt to keep himself alive, and thus their story started. It was so entertaining to see the way Lyn and Jamie interacted at the start, and though their lifestyles seemed incompatible there was something about them that just worked. The two of them had their ups and downs as they hunted down the missing amulet and tried to free Jamie from his warlock's magic, and I was utterly captivated for every single moment. Jamie wasn't exactly thrilled to find out he and Lyn were fated mates after having zero agency over everything else in his life, and for a long time I thought that connection was destined to fizzle into nothing. But working together naturally brought Jamie and Lyn closer together, and when Lyn showed time and time again that they wouldn't push boundaries or force anything between them, I was hoping Jamie would eventually soften to the idea of having a mate. In the chaos of recovering the amulet and freeing Jamie I almost forgot that Lyn had no reason to be on Earth once his deal with Jamie was fulfilled, but thankfully Jamie didn't let too much time go by before giving Lyn the sweet declarations of love they needed to run off into the sunset together.

Jamie and Lyn!

I really enjoyed this!
Jamie and Lyn were funny, snarky. Jamie, bound to an evil sorcerer and Lyn, a fierce diva of a demon made an unlikely couple, but so right for each other. Lots packed into this short story.
The narrator - Nick Newport - was great fun as Lyn - all sassy, sweet, a bit snarky sometimes, also loved how Jamie was portrayed - he had so many emotions from scared, defensive, snarky, protective. The other characters were also distinct, the mage was a bit menacing (quite effective). Would listen to this and the narrator again.
The story was great, kept me interested from the very beginning, starting with Jamie running for his life to summoning Lyn and beyond.
Short, sweet and delightful in audio.

Fun, short, sweet

This short novella by Nikole Knight is fast paced and amusing. There is low heat/fade to black which I don’t mind when the story is good. Jamie and Lyn are such great characters which the new to me narrator, Nick Newport, brought to life. I especially loved his depiction of lyn.
I have only given this 4 stars as, perhaps unfairly, I am comparing it to her previous series of books Fire and Brimstone Scrolls, but if this is going to become a series maybe that will have chance to grow and change.

honestly I loved this book when I read it with my eyeballs and I loved it just as much with the narration. its just a fun book, definitely brings out and highlights grump/sunshine troupe, along with the slight angst and heavy fated mates feel in a world I want to dive into deeper.

it started with a stolen amulet

I absolutely adore the world's Knight creates. This one was fun with a touch of angst, AMAZING characters, and for being so very short it sure packed a punch in plot. I truly adored every moment of it. Nick Newport is a new narrator to me, but I found I quite enjoyed him! It kinda reminded me of Gomez Pugh doing the Psycop series which I've listened to probably 10 times so it definitely works for me. I just hope we get more!

Please let there be more in this world!!
