Great story
Samantha moon works for magic again. Defeats another devil and freezes subjects. Good story a bit bizarre. I believe it's time we're samantha to get married. She deserves it and a bit of peace.

Quality Read
As with the previous books this was absolutely entertaining. More content and less sex. Using one’s imagination is far superior to being Infinintely doused with sexual mud pies. These stories are wonderfully entertaining. Thank you.

October 23, 2026An unscrupulous wizard tricks Sam into participating in the deadly Grandar gladiator games in another dimension.
Footnote: 1) Sam talks a lot to the author. It’s right on the edge of being annoying.
Fave scenes: the whole first chapter and the escape from the arena.
