The Devil's Game
Michael’s curse kills those he loves—and he doesn’t even know he’s cursed.
The Vegas trip was supposed to be fun. Quality time with the girlfriend for her birthday, bright lights, drinks, and good times. But a simple game of roulette unleashes a deadly curse with an age-old secret; Michael needs to do what his ancestors never could—destroy the Devil’s chances of ruling the world.
With a beautiful demonologist at his side, hunted by a mercenary of The Thirty-Six Legions of Demons Sect named Baal, followed by private eye Joe Harris, Michael’s chances for success, are, well, zero.
Following a century-old trail of clues that lead through dangerous catacombs, a mysterious castle, and cryptic texts in ancient books, they trek across Europe searching for a way to stop the Devil from ultimate power.
And all of it is somehow intertwined with the history of roulette. Can Michael find the answers and stop the Devil before it’s too late and more get killed?
If you like The Da Vinci Code - you'll love this story!

Great read.
Okay so as the cover and the name of the book suggests it definitely something spooky and supernatural in there, and if that's something that interests you then you "must" Go for this book!
The book is mainly based on two characters Michael and Amanda and how they plan and fight against the devil himself, the most dangerous evil ever. And Michael can save himself and the rest of the people if Amanda and he trust each other. Amanda is a beautiful and mysterious Demonogoist who helps Michael do all this.
The story is short but fast paced and once you start reading it then you won't have the track of time and you will just continue turning the pages. It's really engaging and good plot and adventure is present in the book.
The language is easy and the story is well structured. A lot of things happen in the book and there is also travelling and adventure but due to the good framework of the story, it never confuses the reader that what's going on.
I also came to know much more about the game roulette, which was introduced to me for the first time in this book and this is also the main part of the story .
So if I conclude... The book is worth giving a try and is a great story by Roman Koidl and after this book i am waiting for more books by the author. All the adventure and supernatural geeks are going to enjoy the book thoroughly for sure. And the people who are more into other genres will develop a taste in this genre as well!

A Fast-paced racy thriller that'd keep you on the edge of your seat.
Fans of Robert Langdon would love this one. From the first page till the last, the plot chugs at an incredibly fast pace, giving us no time to relax. The writing is so lucid and easy to follow. It's the kind of book that could break your reading slump. Once you're immersed in the story, you wouldn't notice the time/pages fly by. Michael is being hunted by a satanic sect who plans to manipulate him and make use of his 'gift' for sinister purposes. Also on his heels are the police who suspect him for scamming a casino out of more than $3 million. Michael is in a race against time to get to the bottom of things before it gets ugly.
I'd recommend this for anyone who'd want to finish a decent thriller book within an hour and a half.
Also, I bumped up the rating from 4 to 5 in a bid to support the author. 'The Devil's Game' is his second book and I hope my words of encouragement will convince him to write and publish his third novel.

You never know what's going to happen next.
I really enjoyed this book because I love mysteries. This is a book that is about a young man trying to find his place in life and the stop terrible evil from happening. There are twists and turns galore and the ending is a shock. Now that right there should be good reason to read the book. If you love mysteries along the style of Dan Brown, then you'll love this book. Enjoy.

Like a short version of Dan Brown’s book with a twist, quick, simple and fast. Author did his home work on history and is creative with it.

Gambling with the Devil
The Devil’s Game is a short novella that intertwines Roulette with the Devil. It is a rather fast read for those who enjoy action thrillers.

I found this an interesting read that moved along at a good pace. It's not a long story, but certainly gripping in the flow of the story and the way the characters were explained and related to one another. It's a story that could have been a much longer novel, but the shortness of it didn't affect the depth of the storyline.

Very good reading, however I expected more than what I got out of the book. Still, overall it was a good read.
