The Game of Gods #2
The Devil Inside
GOD. HUNTER. OTHERWORLDLY TRICKSTER. PLAYER.
Cash’s soul was falling apart—literally. That was until Roo, his beautiful progeny, stuck it back together. He returns to his home town intending to train Roo and prepare her for the Game but demons from his past scratch from the inside and when he wakes from a nightmare, almost killing her, he decides she’s better off without him. While he runs from one responsibility, others are thrown in his path. Soon he’s faced with the devastating results of his retreat, and learns that while Roo may have fixed his soul, he broke her trust. When the truth about her identity comes out, Cash must overcome his doubts for the sake of her life, but can he overcome his demons in time?
Marc is a god. The god of the in-between. The messenger between the worlds, traveller between the dimensions, otherworldly trickster, shameless lover of all things. You may have heard of him, he’s been known as Hermes, Hoth, Loki … He’d be able to gloat more about his status if it wasn’t for the fact his years have left him a little flakey and his position has kept him tethered to the world of men. He’s on a mission to uncover the truth about the hunter’s inception so he can foil the plot to overthrow the Queen, and if he impresses the new racy red-headed Player, then props to him. But when a way out of his long service is presented, he’s left with a choice: take it, or follow his new friends into a battle they might not win without him.
SECRETS ARE REVEALED AND PROMISES ARE MADE.

It's as good as the book one. I really enjoyed getting to know the characters a little more. This time story was told from Cash and Marc's point of view. Both are interesting characters with lots of history between them and now slowly their memories are coming back. Soon they will learn more about how the 'Game' began and what possible roles they can play to further the Queen's cause. They don't like each other much but both are tied together with one thing that's common between them. I liked the bromance they have going. Although Roo is just as entertaining and one of main 'Players' of this game but this is not exactly her story. This book gives us insight about the whole universe and makes a lot of things clearer which were vague in book one. So I guess this is great way to keep the story going, I'm still looking forward to read more about this fantasy world and these characters which are created in this series. It's definitely a great read and I find it very interesting as well as intriguing.

Written from Cash and Marc's perspective, this book does such a wonderful job of fleshing out the backstory hinted at in the first book, Soul Thing, while keeping the momentum going for Roo's story. There were a few surprises and some major players revealed (no pun intended) which just made me want to know more. Executed brilliantly, the story switches from one hero to the other and back, chapter after chapter, with them crossing paths from time to time, and it was all done so seamlessly - it reminded me of the brilliance and pace of the early seasons of Grey's Anatomy. I couldn't put this down. I just had to see what was going to happen next... and then next. Really looking forward to reading the next one.

Book two and readers need to read in order. Characters definitely have evolved even more and I actually enjoy when the outcome really might be a toss up between certain characters. More details are given to this ever growing story . Not recommended for readers that need closure. I myself, I am enjoying the twists and turns and overlapping mysteries. Will I move on to book three? Yes....I just must !

I recieved this book for free and voluntarily reviewed. This was an interesting book to read, swapping between Cash and Mark. Their histories was definitely interesting. Wanting to read more. Concept for the storyline was different and the characters were great. Lovely short story.

Interesting and fun
This author is now one of my favorites. The story and characters are engaging and the women are generally strong even in their struggles. The stories are original and feature interesting perspectives of classic mythologies.

Another great in this second book of the series. For Roo life had no meaning until he met his progeny. Lots of action to keep you reading.

Wow this series gets better and better. The author has created a world that is vibrant and full of intrigue. It is a world of mystery, science fiction, fantasy, and mythology that lives and breathes right alongside our own because it is our origins. It is our history, our present. But many of us are nothing but ordinary humans.
Admittedly the story can at times drag and get bogged down in the details but it's worth it when bombshells are dropped you didn't see coming.
