Turns out, the only difference between a felony and acquisitions is who’s bankrolling my heist.

I’m about to go from scrounging up enough tip money to make rent to pulling six figures. I’ll finally put those years stealing for my old alpha to good use. Only this time, I’ll be the one calling the shots. My crew. My way.

When a witch starts dabbling in forbidden magic, the Enclave sends me after the demon artifact fueling her power. The job should be simple, except they can’t point me to the culprit or tell me what I’m after.

To make matters worse, they’ve teamed me up with the alpha tracking the witch. Max Volkov was supposed to be my no-strings-attached one-night stand, not my partner. He likes making the rules almost as much as I like breaking them. To get this job done though, we’ll have to work together.

With vampires after my prize, an old enemy gunning for me, and someone trying to take out my crew, I need to find that artifact fast. Something tells me it’s going to take a lot more than a fancy new job title and the Enclave’s backing to keep us all alive.

Brimstone Burglar is the second book in the Riley Cruz series about a goat shifter who steals magical artifacts. If you like fun, fast-paced urban fantasy with quirky characters and a dose of slow-burn romance, this is the book for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good, despite missed opportunities
Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2024

Riley is an interesting character. Despite her background, she is still quite naive in many ways, and very childish in others. She is struggling to figure out who she is and what she wants, all while hiding from her past. I did enjoy this book, but in some ways it was disappointing.

This book takes place during the Kali series, so some scenes are repetitive. That isn't the problem. The problem is that they are not repetitive enough. Some important scenes were completely skipped over. Others were barely mentioned (when this was a great opportunity to show that same scene from a different POV). I think the author skipped a major opportunity here to show some of that time from Riley's POV, allowing a deeper understanding into Riley and what she's going through. This first book kind of skims over a lot.

Overall, worth the read. Make sure you have read Kali's series first, or this won't make as much sense.

Heist books are a favorite of mine and LA McBride more than delivers. Riley is funny, endearing and exactly the goat shifter you'd want at your back in a heist. This was a great second book and I'm really excited to find out more about Riley's origins and more!

Brimstone Burglar is a book that's brimming with heart-stealing characters and solid, stealthy heists more entertaining than Bluhdy Marys on karaoke night.

I started this series for Riley, but I'm staying on this roller coaster for Nash. Not only am I calling dibs on this book boyfriend, butchu better back away from the hawty slowly, hands where I can see them, so I won't need to bring out the glitter balls.

When you read it for yourself, you'll see that as the extreme wahrning it is.

The next relic hunt can't be assigned soon enough, Sato! Snap to it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The GOAT

Absolutely wonderful addition to Riley. The goat shifter with an attitude! She's built her artifact hunting team....sort of.....and is ready for action.
Hunting a demon artifact is rough normally, but when you're up against unknown and known assailants, it's definitely a task of epic proportions.
Add in a rooster, four witches of advanced age, an ex military human, a vamp who gets queasy at blood, and an overbearing wolf alpha, and you've got....something.
Will the team mesh? Will Riley find answers? Oh yes, but nothing is as you suspect.
Definitely give this a read, it's action packed with loads of laughs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great Riley Cruz story
Reviewed in Canada on February 29, 2024

Riley is my favourite character in the author’s universe. She’s smart, independent, sassy and snarky. She likes to go after her problems head on and that makes for great stories. She has depth of character and you’ll cheer for her and empathize with her as she moves through the story.

Riley is building a team that needs work to get them to play nice. This was a fun read and moves at a good pace. Oh, there’s a rooster (read the story to find out more).

I kinda thought that maybe that might be the case but I wasn’t sure but it was still a shock and a great cliffhanger. Next book please.

Adore the sense of humour! All the characters are great and in particular the FMC. She's a great mix of innocence, determination and caring. Looking forward to book 3.

A brilliant follow up to Relic Hunter! So much happens in this book: Riley and Volkov finally (mostly) sort out their situation, Carl & Tony get what they deserve, and the plot thickens around Riley's parentage. There is also a really funny part with Nash and a very odd rooster called Garth! I'm looking forward to getting my hands on book 3.

Riley Cruz is sometimes beaten but never down. Having decided to build a team some people might have second thoughts on joining but with karaoke and a rooster called Garth on offer a new member is in the wings.
As the threads are unraveling to a conclusion one door may be closing but it doesn’t mean another won’t replace it.
Who is Riley Cruz? Can’t wait to find out what happens next.
