About this audiobook

A swoon-worthy YA rom com about an ambitious college student whose plans get derailed when he discovers his roommate is the prince of hell.

Owen is not going to college to have fun. Nothing is going to stop him from achieving his goals: study hard, get a good job, and set himself up for the rest of his life. The last thing he needs is to have a loud, obnoxious, and infuriatingly hot roommate. Especially since said roommate just so happens to be the prince of hell.

Prince Zarmenus has come to Summit University for the first-ever Earth/hell exchange program, and he's determined to make the most of it. Which may or may not include wild parties, bringing in random boys to his and Owen's room, and accidentally setting Owen's furniture on fire. Sparks fly (literally) as Owen and Zar clash, but Zar's actions threaten to not only ruin Owen's peaceful college life, but demon-human relations as well. To clean up his image, he asks Owen to be his fake boyfriend and teach him how to be a better human in exchange for an internship that will secure Owen’s future. That, and Zar will consider being a better roommate.

A deal is struck, and the two start pretending to be in a relationship where they each have agendas of their own. Only Owen has a secret—dating his mortal enemy, even if it’s fake, is the most fun he's ever had.

Charming and fun, My Roommate from Hell is a rom com with a magical twist. Think just one bed: but that bed is in hell, surrounded by fire and brimstone.

This book follows Owen. Owen has made it to college and he is very much looking forward to the college experience while also still keeping up with his studies making sure he sets himself up for a good future. All that goes awry when he learns that his roommate has been changed to Prince Zarmeneus, the prince of hell. Everything was super last minute and he is brought in on an Earth/Hell exchange program. Prince Zarmenus is Owens opposite in every way. He's messy, inconsiderate, and trouble follows him wherever he goes. This does not go unnoticed by Prince Zarmenus's father and in efforts to get his parents off his back the two pretend to date. Owen shows Prince Zarmenus how to be a better person/demon in exchange for him to help secure an internship Owen was promised by the dean if he carry's on being Prince Zarmenus's roommate.

This is an amazing book. The world building is beautifully done. I love the flow and the pace of this story. The MCs are wonderful. I love getting know them and watching them grow together. This story really struck a chord with me. The plot was really interesting. I loved all the little twists that the author threw in. I will definitely be looking for more from this world and this author!
