Brute of All Evil

Police chief Delaney Reed is two weeks from her wedding when every divine and demonic force in the universe decides to make her life complicated. Set in the quirky coastal town of Ordinary, Oregon, where gods vacation in human form, the ninth installment of Devon Monk's Ordinary Magic series pits Delaney against a convergence of threats: a fiancé bound to a hostile outsider god, a social media personality sniffing around the town's well-guarded supernatural secrets, and the king of hell with ambitions to match. Delaney is determined to make it to the altar, but murder attempts and kidnappings have a way of disrupting even the best-laid wedding plans.

The dramatized adaptation format suits this series perfectly, bringing its sprawling cast of gods, demons, and small-town characters to vivid life. A full ensemble including Colleen Delany, Torian Brackett, and Andy Brownstein lends each voice a distinct personality, keeping the rapid-fire plot threads easy to follow. The production captures Monk's trademark blend of humor and high stakes, making the seven-hour runtime feel brisk and entertaining throughout.
