This book is insane. But in, like, the best ways. Essentially every character is affiliated with Satan in some way, and chaos reigns. Paige is a Rivka, basically a soul collector for Satan, but she essentially quit her job (can you quit your job if Satan is your boss? Apparently). But her soul is tainted, and she wants to enlist the help of an angel - until she accidentally incinerates one, and discovers she’s on the fast track to becoming Satan’s ultimate weapon, and she’s now on everyone’s hit list. She’s also unable to touch anyone with any amount of purity in them, or she immediately kills them. Jed is a shadow warrior, contracted to kill. He’s hired by Satan Jr, yes, Junior, to kill Paige’s best friend, but he finds Paige instead. Jed is trying to protect his brother from Junior, and a contract they made, and has been killing for years to uphold his end of the bargain - essentially having sold his soul to Junior for his brother’s safety. As a result, Paige can touch him without hurting him.
Their arrangement is pretty hysterical. She agrees to pay him to protect her from herself, help her keep herself in check when her inner wraith starts to take over and she wants to kill anything in sight, and she can touch him as much as she wants. They’re constantly lusting after each other, but she thinks keeping herself a virgin will help keep her wraith at bay, so she won’t let things go too far. As they try to figure out a way to reverse what’s happening to her, they are catapulted through situations that are both action packed and crazy. Not to mention that they keep stopping to make out in the middle of these events because they can’t keep their hands off each other. But neither believes they are capable of love, it’s just lust that is fueling them, and their banter is casual, sexy, and fun. Ultimately, as things come to a head, the intensity builds on all fronts, and as the action increases, so does the spice. Also, the interactions with Satan and Satan Jr, classic. They are seriously funny, himbo types but insanely powerful and dangerous at the same time. It’s definitely a different spin on Satan from what I’ve seen in others books, and it’s a lot of fun.
Overall, this book is a trip. A lot of fun, very spicy, and a fast paced story that keeps you interested right to the end.
