Satan's Son

by Simone Elise

You never expect to meet your soulmate after you die. And you definitely never expect your soulmate not to have a soul at all.

But that’s what happened to Addison. One minute she’s walking along in her average life, worrying about curfew, and the next minute she’s in hell.

Addison was living a typical teenager’s life before being dragged down to hell to atone for her sins on Earth. She must now make up for her bad behavior but is not expecting to meet her match in Ethan. Devilish good looks, charming smirk, an attitude to match, oh, and he’s Satan’s Son. Addison must now navigate the channels of hell with the reluctant guidance of Ethan as he atones for his own error. But could his mistake be closer linked to Addison’s death than she knows? Neither Addison or Ethan were planning to find love but now that they’re here, which will it be: Heaven or Hell?

Can love be found in Hell? Ethan is the son of Satan, but he made a huge mistake and is now paying the price. What price, you ask? Ethan must mentor one high school student who must have majored in attitude, off key snark and finding her victim’s weakest spot and chipping away at it until all that is left is a tense and befuddled mess.

Addison had no idea she had died, or that she would have gone to Hell, hey she was a rebel, yes, but, was she really that bad? Addie is no shrinking Violet and Ethan is not a paragon of patience. Together, they explore the depths of redemption as Ethan shows Addie the ropes that could get her reinstated into the good graces of eternity. But is that what is really going on? How can two people who cannot stand being together discover the chilling fact that they may just be made for each other! Talk about a new layer of Hell!

SATAN’S SON by Simone Elise is a quirky trip to Hell and back as one girl learns the errors of her ways and the effects it has on those she loves, all while finding her true love in the most unexpected places.

Filled with attitude and humor, there are touching moments that flash by, but not without leaving a streak of cute with it! How often have you heard the phrase, “I am dying to find my soulmate?” Simone Elise takes that message to heart and makes death far less forbidding and a whole lot more fun!

Definitely not for the serious of heart! Sit back and enjoy this quick read for what it is, pure entertainment!

I received an ARC edition from Simone Elise in exchange for my honest and voluntary review.

Cute but...

Cute but more like something I would have read when I was a middle schooler. The plot was good, but just when I expected the book to go on...it had a rushed ending. The main character NEVER takes anything seriously, even saving lives...she’s a total brat, but still cute, and I liked Archie.

I was curious about this book after reading the synopsis. It was different than other books I read so, I started without any expectations.

Addison (Addy) is beyond hilarious. She's the kid that never grew up and I love her character.

Ethan, the son of the devil and his friend Archie (who's position was never mentioned) are excellent supporting characters.

This story mostly centered around Addy. She annoyed everyone, asked inappropriate questions and caused accidents everywhere she went. Ethan started calling her Accident Addy because she could barely walk anywhere with falling.

I gave this book five starts because the story was different.
Addison (imo) was a great character and yes, I'll admit is a bit like me when I'm with my husband.
Ethan sometimes is like me as well (when my husband is acting like Addison)

Archie is another character I thought was a great addition.

I was reading this in the middle of the night laughing like a crazy woman. My husband just shook his head and went back to sleep. I read it a second time in the dentist office with my daughter and I couldn't stop laughing.


Now, for the dislikes.

The story is too short. I wanted it to last longer. What happened with Archie after Ethan and Addy were in hell? What did Ethan's family think about Addison earning her way back to hell to be with Ethan? What was her role in Hell? Marriage? Kids? Guiding?

I still want to know more about them. I hope this will be a series . Maybe we'll get Archie's story next.

This reviewer was sent an advanced reader copy (ARC) of "Satan's Son", in exchange for an honest review. Inside the front cover there was a disclaimer concerning errors that might be found in the book, stating they would be fixed before publication. What many may not understand, however, is that an ARC source file should be clean, neat, and error-free, according to Carla King (March 1, 2016). Obviously, this reader found many spelling, grammar and punctuation errors but is not dinging the writer on those issues, rather for the lack of transitions. Transitions are those sentences or words used to move the reader from one thought or scene, to another. Most of "Satan's Son" seemed to be written in a stream of conscious or thought style, of protagonist Addison, which can be an extremely powerful and useful tool in the writer's hand. Addison's teenaged scattered and ditzy line of thinking made a powerful impact at the beginning of the book when she awoke, unsure of where she was or what had happened. However, used continually in the book made it a long and confusing read, especially with the formatting issues where one paragraph ran into another, and the lack of transitions never alerting the reader that we are moving on.

Dialogue was stilted and not believable for the most part, and often just repeated what Addison had been thinking. The entire tale was told mainly by Addison, but occasionally Ethan, Satan's son, gave his views. Again, this made for a tedious read because the reader is being told the tale, and not shown. This reader prefers not to give spoilers, so without mentioning incidents will simply state that instead of Addison continually thinking along the lines of "Huh? What?" she might be shown with a furrowed brow, scratching her head, shaking her head slowly, or chewing on her lip, etc. While writer Elise did not use the multiple point of view tactic previously used in her "Reaper's Claim" story, she still tends to tell a story instead of showing it.

Had this reader realized the writer of "Satan's Son" was also the writer of "Reaper's Claim", she likely would have turned down the request for review as she truly does not wish to be so critical and seem so harsh towards a fellow writer. Especially since many of the items that turned her against "Reaper's Claim" and were pointed out in that review, remained present in the current work reviewed. Only the gratuitious cursing and use of multiple points of view changed, Elise still tells a story instead of shows it.

Simone Elise had an interesting idea with some unusual twists in the world she was creating; unfortunately, this reader felt she failed to deliver. This story is about young adults and in some respect, might be considered a coming of age romance story that would likely be of interest to teens or very young adults. There is no explicit sex or gratuitious cursing in this tale; curse words were used for impact and were well placed, when used. And once again this reader finds herself in the position of seeming extremely harsh in her views, yet this critique is actually offered from one peer to another in the hopes of bouncing ideas from one to another and perhaps even picking up a new trick or two. This reader will therefore not "not" give a recommendation, but also cannot give one for "Satan's Son" in good consciousness, as it stands.

Addison Myers is a teenage girl who wrongfully ended up dead. She ends up dead and in hell, literally. It isn't long before we find out that it is for offences such as swearing, lying, not respecting her elders. I have to pause here because I feel that hell would be bursting at the seams because everyone on the planet would be walking the halls of hell, but I will try to keep my opinions to a minimum after this reflection.
Addison was wrongfully placed in hell to begin with so perhaps the charges were trumped up and that was all they could find on her, after all it is isn't long into the story that we find out she was she was mistakenly sent there by Satan's son himself, Ethan Beast.
It is at Ethan's hands that she is dealt her "punishment" and must spend her time repenting, per say. After a certain amount of time then she would have a chance to leave hell. Even though this is all an error, this is hell after all and there is no going soft of the people that live there.
Addison was given the task to lead people away from death, okay interesting concept.....but.....a big but.
After this point, everything in this story may have been okay if the characters were actually likable, but I had a hard time connecting with them. Every time I thought they were redeemable, they just didn't do it for me. Addison never did reach that level of remorse that she was supposed to feel to actually leave hell, she came across as a whiny teen, which she actually is. Then there is Ethan. He's hundreds or maybe thousands of years old, yet he is somehow completely enamored of Addison by some unknown force, and he was Satan's son don't forget. Their connection just didn't make sense to me. The concept was initially enticing, but overall the characters fell flat.
It might be more YA audience, except for the moments of lust that arise between the two.

[Nancy Walker · Rating 5 out of 5]

Satan’s Son is a refreshingly unique love story. Addy is a high-spirited young adult who ends up literally falling into the life of Ethan, a child of Satan who has to atone for his own sins. The story focuses on the relationship between the two as they try to learn to work with each other.

Both characters are entertaining and well written. Addy is not the typical “damsel in distress” and has a very distinct personality, which was refreshing even if it was over the top and juvenile in a few places. Ethan pulls off the Alpha male role without being overly domineering or abusive.

The story is fast paced but not a bodice ripper. If you are looking for detailed sex scenes then you want a different book. This is about two people who are stuck together and learn they love each other after quite a bit of trial. It does not end with a cliffhanger but it does make me curious if there will be other books set in this world. There are a few side characters that could be developed into having their own stories.

One issue with the story was the introduction of Archibald. He shows up in the middle of the book and out of nowhere but there is no explanation of who he is. Given his role in the story, he should have had his own personality instead of simply being a male version of Addy.

There are also a few plot points that were glossed over. I have mixed feelings about this issue. The story is character driven so the details of why different things were happening wasn’t as important as the characters reactions. It’s also not an in-depth novel so skipping some details, like who Archibald is, missing is probably to be expected.

Overall, I enjoyed this book and look forward to more work from this author. The story was refreshing and written as a proper romance. I was provided an ARC copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

Satan’s Son by Simone Elise Review 1-11-18
Hell was the last place Addison thought she would EVER be!

You never expect to meet your soulmate after you die. And you definitely never expect your soulmate not to have a soul at all. But that’s what happened to Addison. One minute she’s walking along in her average life, worrying about curfew, and the next minute she’s in hell.

Neither Addison or Ethan were planning to find love but now that they’re here, which will it be: Heaven or Hell?

What did I like? I think the thing I liked most about this book was the writing style. Concise, descriptive, detailed and Interesting! The author definitely has a connection with this genre and she makes the most of it. Every book that I have read so far has really been good and I have enjoyed all of them.

What will you like? Humor, action, emotions, and a great cast of characters. As with all her other books she reaches out and brings whatever world that she sees in for us. Makes us believe that we are right there with her and her characters. Lots of details without overwhelming the reader and always some humor. I believe this author has a great future in front of her! I received this from the Publisher for an honest review.

[Blair Paxton · Rating 2 out of 5]

So, Satan’s son is named Ethan? Ethan Beast? Funny dialogue, but childish protagonist.

The dialogue from the protagonist, Addison, was really funny in some places, but overall the character was very immature. She was said to be 19, but she acted like she was 10. She wasn’t even an immature teenager/young adult, she was full on a 10 year old with a severe case of ADHD that was never treated properly. She was meant to have this carefree, happy-go-lucky personality, but it was excessive and I became annoyed. I kept hoping she would stop and be “normal” to some extent, you know, calm down, act her age, flirt a little, but it only happened a couple of times and that was because she was angry.

The story was short, therefore it lacked a lot of detail that I was really hoping for and that it needed. The pace of the story was really fast, therefore it jumped from one big event to the next without a smooth transition. The gaps it left also left me with questions and wanting to see character growth.

The story goes from Addison dying, to working with Ethan, to hearing his inner monologue of what he really thought of her, to her going back to earth, to him leaving, to her back in hell. Somewhere in there they were all of a sudden in love. It just jumped and we never saw how they actually began developing feelings with one another to get to where they were at the end. At the end, we didn’t get to see how it played out which was really disappointing.

So, as funny as some of the dialogue was throughout the story, the book as a whole was a train wreck and I really wish the author would have taken her writing more seriously and outlined the story better before writing so her readers could be left feeling satisfied at the end.

[P.L. Smith · Rating 3 out of 5]

I am not entirely sure what I think of this book having now finished it. I thought the author did a decent job writing, and the writing style itself is good. I didn't see grammatical errors or mechanics issues that could use a good editor, so appreciate them taking the time to polish the book before release. But I had a hard time really getting in to the story. I couldn't connect with the main character in any way. She came off of as a complete brat to me and didn't redeem herself by the end of the story, in my opinion.

Yet despite all of that, I did find the read to be interesting. It was a creative way to explore the topic of hell and to give the reader a look at it, since so many have the Biblical view or Dante's description only. I found much of it to be similar to other descriptions, yet it was unique in its own sense. I managed to read through the whole book, hoping it would get better by the end, but was disappointed to find it didn't change much more.

Overall, I am not sure this was the best book for me. It was a quick read, a little rushed at times, though the romance itself was slow, and I never connected with any of the characters who all seemed a bit undeveloped to me. There was no growth in them throughout the story and they were pretty much the same by the end of the book as when it started. I am sure there are people who will love the story and connect with it, but it was not a book for me.

[Book Wyvern · Rating 2 out of 5]

I voluntarily read and reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

I did not like Addison at all. I don’t think I’ve ever disliked a character as much as I disliked her. She’s flighty, has a runaway mouth on her and is just…I don’t know, stupid to me.

She apparently doesn’t get the concept of Hell and just will not shut up. It kind of seems like she’s incapable of long term feeling as well, unless it’s annoying everyone.

I felt no connection with her and I dropped my head into my hands a couple of times.

Then there was Ethan. Now I enjoy an alpha male who gets embarrassed but when it got to his family, I didn’t see him as an alpha male. I don’t want to go into more detail because then it’ll go into spoilers.

I did feel more of a connection with him but I didn’t really feel anything for them as a couple.

The cover is great, it’s such an eye-catcher but I don’t feel that it matches the story within. The writing is actually great, I can see the story in my mind and the story moved along nicely. I would really love to see something from this author without such an annoying character.

I kind of feel that if Addison had grown more, if she had been the Addison that I had seen with her friend, this book would have been so much better.

Thank you for reading my review.

This was such a clever and interesting book to read. A great story that certainly captured my attention. Simone Elise has done a wonderful job with this unique plot, and I quite like that I didn’t know what to expect from one moment to the next. Addison and Ethan are a great characters, and I really enjoyed their interaction throughout the story. It seems quite bizarre to Addison that she would end up in hell for doing something so trivial. Surely you would have to do something a lot more sinister to end up there. It was all quite surreal to Addison to realise that she was suddenly dead. Especially after having a great night out watching her friend Alex playing on stage, to now being told by Ethan that she would be a “Guider”. Ethan maybe the Devils son, but he’s prepared to help Addison in leaning what is required of her. He probably wasn’t expecting her to be such a handful. He had never experienced anyone like her, as most people were scared of him being so powerful. This didn’t phase Addison in the least, and she had attitude to burn. Ethan has a secret, which he’s not sure if he wants to disclose to Addison as he’s not sure how she is going to react. There wasn’t a part of this story that I didn’t enjoy. It’s well worth a read.

[Eliza Leone · Rating 2 out of 5]

Great concept, poor execution.
Mature Themes: sex, death, drug use, suicide

Recommendation:
I was super stoked to read the plot for this story, it’s one that isn’t as overdone as others and I think it gave the author a leg up. However, the writing was juvenile. If you’re looking for an hour-long read, maybe it’s for you. For me, the main character had me speed reading.

Addison is a rebellious teen who winds up in Hell and in the hands of Satan’s Son Ethan. As her guide, Ethan tries to teach her what it means to be dead and how she’s to spend the next ten years of her sentence, but Addison is more focused on rattling Ethan’s cage. Satan has other ideas though.

Addison is young. Really young, and her childish attitude and rude attitude was distracting, annoying, and infuriating. Ethan is described at a ripped hunk but never his age so my brain wasn’t sure how old to make him. Put him next to the childish Addison and you get a statutory relationship (I think? Chapter one she’s nineteen but in high school?), and yes I know she’s dead. Then, she lives by herself as an underage (maybe?) kid going to high school, what?

There were just too many inconsistencies and strange plot choices made. What this story needed was a better content editor.

[Stephanie M. · Rating 4 out of 5]

Addison is your average teenager, going about her average life when she ends up in Hell. Confused and alone she gets placed in queue to await her judgment. In the meantime she needs to learn the art of guiding- saving humans from themselves in their darkest hour.

Ethan is Satan's Son and he's sentenced to helping Addison- it is his fault she was in Hell after all.

Their chemistry is on fire, but Addison has other priorities, annoy the 'Hell' out of Ethan for her own personal enjoyment. What else is there to do in Hell? Not much.

When her judgment comes their love must be sacrificed- who's willing to break the bond? And who will do anything to keep it?


Negatives:

Leaves the reader wondering how the main character died in the first place. The book hints at Ethan being responsible for her death, but, never actually goes into detail.

Paragraphs of the main character (Addison) annoying people- in a immature way. Repetitive and ultimately becomes annoying to the reader as well.

Recommended to a younger audience, 17-20.

[Malli (Chapter Malliumpkin) · Rating 3 out of 5]

The following review is based off my own opinions, thoughts and reactions. So in other words brace yourself. *There may be inappropriate words such as curse words.* You have been advised in advance.*

Umm...Beauty and the Beast remake? Beauty and the Beast meets comedy? Uhhh...YES!

We're all familiar with the classical story of Beauty and the Beast and how it all touched our hearts in some ways. Of course we've all seen the Disney classic movie itself too. Plus all the other remakes like the live action one with Emma Watson and of course you have the movie Beastly which was more of a modern retake on Beauty and the Beast. In today's times there's so many remakes, retakes, and overall knocks off of this classic story that it's easy to get swept up in the way of it all. This book/story is no exception to that wave, although it is it's own unique take on our cherish love affair for Beauty and the Beast.



Satan's Son is definitely it's own unique take on the classic tale of Beauty and the Beast. It brings us the tale of young Addison dying and falling in love with Satan's Son (hence the title). And as fate would have it, Satan Son's name is Ethan Beast. That's right, you read that correctly, the last name Beast. Making the take of the classic fairytale even more a deeper connection between these two books.

Getting into those lovely details of our lustrous main characters, I want to talk about my grudge with Addison's character. Addison is far off from how the typical Belle is portrayed. Addison is secretly this annoying, depressing girl throughout the entire story. However, in this particular book it works for her character and I can't see her with any other personality quirks. My gripe with Addison is how she treats everyone. More specifically how she treats Ethan and Archie in this book. Everyone who isn't those two characters is treated with kindness, passion, affection, respect, some form of an emotion that isn't led into annoying them to the point that character explodes with annoyance or anger. In this book, Addison constantly annoys Ethan and pisses him off. When Archibald (Archie) comes into the story, later on, she bounces between annoying Ethan and Archie. The most frustrating thing about her whole situation of annoying these two characters is the author has constructed the love connection between Ethan and Addison this way and also leads the reader to believe Archie also comes to have feelings and or at least deep feelings of caring for her through this method. This has led me to having mixed feelings about the whole love triangle that has formed between these three characters. And as we know, Belle or spin offs from Belle have never really had this type of characteristic. So while it was nice seeing a different take of Belle being used, I feel conflicted about how Addison's character was established and the lack of her character development except the development of her feelings towards Ethan.



Before I go into talking about Ethan, I just want to talk about Archie. Archie is fucking adorable and needs more appreciation. Archibald has the best kind of personality and adds just the right amount of spice into the story. Plus, he's feisty and puts Addison on her toes and annoys her right back like how she acts towards him. However, he's really caring towards Addison even though he find her horridly annoying. I honestly wish there were more details about Archie. I think Archie deserves his own book. So Simone, hope to it on making a book about Archie because he deserves love and good things! Plus, the Jack Ripper twist implied by Addison was priceless!



Ethan is another story all together. First off, the whole stalking game he played with Addison was just a "WTF" moment. They call it guardianship, I call it obsessive. Secondly, Ethan needs an attitude adjustment. Even near the end of the book he still had so many personality issues and attitude problems. His character development left much to be desired. Ethan's character needed more development. Now I understand he's Satan's son, but he could've used a little more devil in him or even a little more beast in him. His character leaves much to be desired.

My major pet peeve with this book is all the grammar errors. There are so many misspelled words and sentence errors that it made it hard to read certain lines. If I didn't go back and reread the sentence and mentally fix it, some paragraphs just wouldn't make sense without going back and making sense of it.

Now getting to the main point of why I called this book a comedy is quite simple. There are a lot, A LOT of funny parts in this book. Especially near the end where they throw in some funny bits. It definitely gives the readers a little relief from dealing from all the dialog between Addison and Ethan especially with how intense it can be. So those funny bits are nice, but at some points it overtakes conversations and the dialog being discussed in certain chapters. Which can cause a lot of conflict with the serious parts and the comedic parts.

All in all, this book is nice. You can read through it quickly and the details are nice. However, I feel this book leaves much to be desired. I would love to see a spin-off for Archie and it would be nice if this book got a sequel to help build things for what happens to Ethan and Addison. While this story is nice, it leaves the reader craving more details, a longer story, and more devilish acts.

I received a copy and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I enjoyed this story. It gives you a whole other look on the afterlife and hell in particular. One minute Addison is going about her life, thinking about how her father is going to yell that she is past curfew and then... she dies in a car accident. She "wakes up" not knowing she's dead or that she is in hell and has to pay for her misdeeds. Her sentence is to act as a guider - trying to stop people desperate enough to try to commit suicide or follow some path that could lead to their demise. And poor Ethan has to train her.
From the minute she meets Ethan - Satan's son - there is chemistry (and somewhat of a mystery concerning his "interest" in her life/death). Addison is inquisitive, sassy, frustrating, stubborn. I thought the plot was well thought out. Although, the college scene felt out of place to me.
Overall, this was a unique, fun read

Wow! Simply wow. I loved this story. It is more YA
romance than plan romance and so well written.
It is shorter than most books so my review will be short.

This is Ethan and Addison's story. At age 19 Addy
dies and goes to hell. Where she meets Eathan
Beast, Satan's son. Who has been kind of
interested in her all her life. But he is keeping a
secret from Addy that may change things. But as
they get to know each other she kind of starts to
fall for him. When his dad decides she is to go
away he is not sure what to do and she does not
want to lose him either. Now they just have to find
a way to be together before it is too late for Addy.

Now before I ruin this for you I will leave off here.

This started as a 3 stars for me but the ending bumped it up to a 3.5 star rating. I really liked what the story promised and in some way, it was totally delivered, but I just couldn't click with it. Whether it was the writing style with the constant! upbeat! talk! or the dialogue, I'm not sure, but I personally don't think it fit my preferences. However, I did really like the story so despite the constant winces I took reading this, it says a lot that I still read and finished it. The writing noticeably got better more than halfway into the story, so again, I'm not sure if it was the writing style or that it just had a rough start, but the ending made me shed a tear. I'm not sure if I'd continue the series, honestly depends on whether or not they mature, but if you like stories that deal with dark places like hell and turn it into a fun upbeat version, check this out.

[Tara Peters · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the first book I have read by Simone and I really liked it. Satan's Son follows the story of Ethan and Addison. Ethan has been watching over Addison for years, so when she ends up dying, he feels responsible. He is 'forced' to teach her the ropes of living in help. Addison is extremely sarcastic and does everything she can to push Ethan's buttons.
You learn pretty early on that Ethan loves, or at least, has very deep feelings for Addison. You also, or at least I did, get the sense that there is something deeper for Addison. When Satan tells Ethan that Addison has to go back to earth and her memory will be wiped clean (she also won't be herself anymoepre), can and will be let her go? Will Addison want to go? Can they find a way to be together? Or, are they destined to be apart from their one true love?

I didn't love this book but it was an ok read.
Addison annoyed me intensely and as i was reading i was like.... "for goodness sake shut-up!!" so well done Simone, i am sure this is the reaction you were going for. Ethans character was impatient and often moody, but who can blame him with someone like Addison! I felt all the characters were ok and the story-line did make me snicker sometimes. I just can't quite put my finger on why i cant be more enthusiastic about this book.
Did i like this book? Yes, but it didn't grab me. I have to say though, once i started, I did want to carry on reading it to the end.
Would i recommend this book? I am torn, but yes.

[E.J. Powell · Rating 4 out of 5]

Read it once on Wattpad when it first came out on a writing website. I purchased a copy but never cracked it open again to reread it. I found that the story itself was great but was rushed toward the end because the author wanted to hurry up and get it finished. That and there was so much more she could've done to prolong the ending then what the readers get.

I asked a dozen times if there was ever going to be a sequel and Elise has no plans as of even now in 2020 to write a sequel, unless she's keeping it under wraps.

With how the story ends on a cliffhanger readers are promised with high expectations of a sequel that'll never come. I haven't read the newly published version, but I imagine it to have the same ending and whatnot.

*****I voluntarily received and reviewed an Exclusive Copy of this book for an honest review.*****

Addison Myers is a troubled, smart mouthed, rambunctious young lady, who defied her father's teaching. After leaving an event, her life ended in an error and the doing of Nathan (Satan's son).

Nathan is the son of Satan and had followed Addison around most of her life because of her tendency to have accident. He had a secret crush on her and wanted to be near her even against his father wishes. One night he causes Addison death and was later determined it is for her misdeeds such as swearing, lying and not respecting her elders.

The storyline was hurried to compact several things but lacking that zing. The concept was great but was poorly carried out leaving this book in disarray. The heroine was smart mouth, bratty and totally annoying as a 10 years old with no manners.

[Medavis66 · Rating 3 out of 5]

Addison mistakenly ends up in Hell. She meets Satan's son, Ethan. She finds that she comes to rely on him and wants him around regardless of the fact that she is in the hot place. I never really connected with either of these characters. Ethan was a whipped one before he really even met Addison and she was a total brat. It was an okay story, but it just didn't do it for me. I read it because I had to know what happened, just in case it got better or there was a hook I didn't see coming. It didn't happen, but I give it 3 stars because I couldn't set it down and walk away.

Voluntary review of ARC.

GAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why, why, why! Okay this started out as an awesome story. I mean minus the fact it's completely fiction because satan having real spawn not happening but it's a great what if type of story. The characters were like able, it seemed to have a decent storyline. I'm loving the tension between the main characters and then bam! She just HAD to add a flippin' "f" bomb and I'm almost done with the blasted book! Well, I had been impressed till that point. I rated this book to that point because I will not continue reading a book with THAT word in it. Sorry, it's my own problem and I deal with it. I just wish It could have continued to impress me.

Honestly, I don't understand why this book doesn't have all 5 stars....
I loved every second of this story! It was awesome! I laughed out loud so much and even accidentally snorted at one point because it was just too much for me to keep in.
Ethan and Archie didn't stand a chance against Addison. She is probably my top favorite book character. I would have liked to see what became of them after the end but I still loved this.
This was definitely a fun read and I am so glad I took the opportunity to read this. Will most likely read this again when I need some laughs and a bit of the mushy stuff!

This was an exclusive ARC that was given to me in exchange for an honest review. I so wanted to love this story because the idea behind it was very intriguing. Addison is just so annoying and over the top (this is just my opinion). The romance is pretty slow. However, the ending was pretty satisfying. Other people might like this because like I said it is a great concept but it was just not for me. After saying this, I will not let this one story keep me from reading others from this author.

OH. MY. GOD! Or something like that!

Satan's Son is an amazing love story. The main character, Addison, is fun and witty and lovable. Ethan is broody and intense. Together they make one hell of a couple.

The journey that Addison and Ethan take is one of sarcasm, raw emotions and true love.

This book truly shows that love conquers all and can be found in the most unexpected places.

I would most definitely recommend this to my fellow bibliophiles and this is absolutely on my reread list.

Addison is nineteen years old.. living her life like any nineteen year old would... When her life comes to an end... She finds herself in a place that she thought she would never be...HELL... Ethan works the gates of hell... He reads off all the bad you have done in your life... But when he see Addison in front of him, he knows his life has changed...
I enjoyed this book... Great plot idea... The way their relationship builds is heart-warming... This book proved that everyone can find love... Even satan’s son...

Addison Beast💕😍😉

First of all I have to say that I had been waiting what feels like a long time for this book to come out and when it did I was so excited! I couldn't put it down! If you love wittiness, comedy, and of course romance than this is the book for you! DEFINITELY A MUST READ!! It has been a while that a character like Addison has had me laughing and smirking at her silliness! Ethan and Addison have been by far my favorite!!!

Not thought out

Wow first off let me say it pains me to give this book a one star rating. It was not thought out at all. The main character is horrible. Nothing but a selfish brat that literally spends the whole time acting like a child. Her love interest is the son of Satan and he is no better. She doesn't like him one min and then boom she is instantly in love with him!?!?! This book was rushed with no real story.
