“Poor little soul.” A pure, innocent soul forced to face the harsh realities, they said. A soul that was led down the path of darkness, one that was bent and made to be others’ nightmare, only to end up deemed nature’s lost cause.
How tragic, right? Wrong. Because this, this is not nearly as simple. You see, mostly, if not always, the only real difference between a hero and a villain is a matter of perspective—who is telling the story. But not in his case.
What if he really embodies the epitome of a real-life villain, instilling terror in the hearts of all those who cross his path or even hear whispers of his name? What if he’s a wicked man who ceaselessly gets whatever his icy heart craves? A monster who seeks power more than salvation, A nightmare who believes vengeance is unerring. A killing machine, devoid of heart or soul, let alone a pure one. Damien, they call him, his name whispered with terror and fear. Because Damien is not an ordinary man, but a man who clawed his way out from the depths of hell. One who’s driven by a relentless pursuit of the very thing that threatens to bring downfall to the world we know. He is the reigning terror among monsters, holding dominion over the dark underworld of New York City, Even with his true identity hidden from the prying eyes of all. Damien is no ordinary man, he is the Devil.
So what happens when an angel meets the devil? When a naive runaway escapes one demon, only to find herself in the clutches of the worst of them all?
i’m dnfing bc i read halfway and the chapters are sooo long (on goodreads it says it’s 1180 pages) so i basically read at least 500 pages of nothing… honestly there was a lot of potential, the plot reminded me a bit of Runaway by Bazookah (who is one of my fave authors) and nothing happened between the main characters for sooo long, even by the chapter i stopped reading, still nothing… I loooveee slow burn (im a Mariana Zapata stan 🫶🏼)but everytime they interacted it was quick and we didn’t get to see their development, i felt like i was chasing their storyline and i was always close but never there ?? idk maybe the 2nd half is better i won’t know it’s too long and the slow burn is not burning 😔
