My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When I first read the synopsis of this book, I thought it was going to be similar to reading a history book, or a literature book. Personally, I’m not a big fan of either. But I really enjoyed reading this book! It explains everything so you can follow along, it has relatable themes and really cool stories to follow. The characters are gods, and until this book, I didn’t know gods could be relatable. Read this book if you enjoy a good story line and great in depth description.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’ve never read a book like this. It pits God against God or mythical creature, all to prove a point. This book shows the arrogant and dismissive nature of gods and how they run the world to entertain themselves and for their own pleasures. Can Cupid prove his job is too hard for Mother Nature? Or will he lose on his first chance to prove himself? Read this book if you enjoy fantasy and amusement.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this book! If you’re a nerd, you will love this book. Even if you aren’t, you will love this book! Layla is the main character and it is written from her point of view. She is such a relatable character. She’s funny and witty, but so awkward and out of place all of the time. Alex is her best friend who is, of course, the opposite. She’s fun and exciting, adventurous and very outgoing. She’s Layla’s counterpart perfectly. This book is a love story, but it also speaks out for nerds everywhere. Our characters go to conventions and comic book signings, and everybody loves those. Vic is a comic book writer, well known, and great at what he does. However, the comic book industry is, like many industries, male dominant. This is not only a love story, or a nerdy story, but it is about raising that glass ceiling for women everywhere trying to break through and be seen as equal and capable in a male dominant career. I love this book and I know everybody will.

He calls her Zelda, because she can’t remember anything about herself from when she was alive. He wants to help her find out the truth so she can move on. But can you have feelings for someone who you are helping move on? Will her past bring up too many bad memories?

I’ve never read a book like this. The love story is unexpected, the plot twists are unpredictable, and the characters are undeniable.

Just like the other books in this series, this book was entertaining and a great read. The narrator was the same two as the previous two books, and every time, they are articulate, intriguing, and perfect for the roles they are reading for. I love listening to these books. This is the third book in the Satan’s Devils series, and I cannot wait until I get the opportunity to read more. It is the perfect mix between romance, lust, and danger. What more could a reader ask for?
