Review: Lucifer and his men questioned god, and it ended them up in hell. Lucifer was made the Lord of hell and his men were the demons. If they should find love, then they might be brought back to heaven. After Dantalion fell in love with Shane, god decided to step in. He has given Dantalion the permission to undue the sale, if he thought the person redeemed themselves.
Which brings us to book two, which I have to say was perfect. It was still a bit dark but the story just rocked. Syd was Shane’s best friend and he missed him. At one time he had a crush on the man, but his heart was still with Sam. Sam was the one he wanted but couldn’t have. That is until the deal was made and things heated up. Now these two are ones that definitely can’t communicate worth crap. So many misunderstandings lead to a big old heart ache.
This story has a serious tone to it with very little humor in it. Maggie Walsh has given a new fresh idea in this book. One that I was not sure would actually work, but this book proved me wrong. It was fun and exciting with a bit of freak to it. Although the ending shocked me, I can admit that it was a pretty good ending.
There are some crazy twists to this one and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the story. The characters were well written and fully developed.
I enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend it.
