Hell's Soulless Monsters #1
The Devil's Sacrifice
Sage’s whole life has been meant for one thing, to be the virgin sacrifice given to the Devil to keep her coven in power. It’s a position of honour that only the lucky get chosen for- “Wait, hold up, this is not a position of honour. Only the unlucky get chosen to do this. And, ding ding ding, now it’s my bloody turn, I’m going to tell my story my way.” I wish the reason I was on my knees Christmas Day was for a fun activity, but my coven are determined to send my beautiful behind straight into the Devil’s arms. They want their power and will do anything to get it, they always have. But I have a trick up my sleeve, a plan in my pocket, an escape route so sinful I will go down in history. My coven and the Devil aren’t going to know what hit them. “Or more likely, my little pet, will end up right where I want her. Beautifully sinful and wickedly unholy. Looking forward to meeting you, pet. I hope you can run fast because this devil likes the chase.” “…Wait…What?”

Blue aliens? Shifter? Orcs? Nah, not my thing but the Devil? Well… I’d smash him 😉
“One, two, the Devil’s coming for you.” “Three, four, he’s gonna cum in your backdoor.”
I loved this book. Super fast to get to the plot, so many spicy scenes, the most possessive man ever, you don’t get a choice in this, Halloween smutty good time. I liked it so much I immediately started the second before I could write this review. Nothing makes me happier than finding a new fantasy novella author who gets how sick and twisted I want my smut.
Let the big Devil think he can’t love. After that little speech, I sure as fuck know he loves me, even if he’s too dumb to know it. It can be my little secret.

When life gives you a lemon, make lemonade!
When your family forced you to be a sacrificial virgin in a demonic ritual, you go and make sure you fuck that demon with his death-burning-semen-spewing dick.

This is a smut book
Tell me why I am in love with the Devil?
Why did I fall hard and fast for a monster.
Autumn really wrote a lovable villain a group of them, actually, and I can't wait to know them more.
This is a super funny and spicy read. Sage is my new BFF, and I loved vicariously through her.
I am have also highlighted the majority of this book.

The story was there at least
The story itself was good however there is a time and place for vulgarity and for me this book had just too much of it. Don't get me wrong I'm all for cussing up Storm and all of the dark sides of smut and romance. But for the most part a lot of this book seems like it was written by a teenager who just figured out that they can cuss. I liked the story but I feel like the writing could have been a little bit better.

Fuckity Fuck Balls Batman! That was intense as fuck!
The Devil’s Sacrifice is Book One in the Hell's Souless Monster's series.
I absolutely loved this book! ❤️ I adored everything about Sage. She is so well developed; I feel like I know her. (Sage. Giiirl. Can you hook a girl up!? 🤣)
I enjoyed the quick, witty back and forth banter between Sage & The Devil; and the pet names she has for her well endowed, hulking, broody Prince of Darkness are absolutely delightful. And not to mention the hot steamy smut scenes are sheer perfection 🥵🥵🥵
Autumn you are seriously a master at your craft! We are not worthy! *bows down*
Thank you for the opportunity to read this book. I cannot wait for the rest of the series!! 🤗
I HIGHLY recommend anything written by Autumn Thorne. You WILL NOT be disappointed!!

I enjoyed this way more than I probably should. It was crazy but made me laugh out loud so much.

This was all smut but a whisper of a plot but I liked the spice even though it could be really cringe at times.

You know what? This was unhinged but funny as hell.

2,5 stars.
The spice was good, but I hated how the characters talked and the names for the genitalia was just not it.
I will continue to read the other books, because spice lol.

I just don't even know. No plot, no chemistry. Pretty much just smut. And I enjoy smut, but I do like a storyline to go with it. Basically, the FMC is all about getting some dick, even if it will literally kill her to get it.

4/5 Stars🌟🌟🌟🌟
Where do I start... I was graciously provided this ARC to read and I literally devoured it as quick as possible.
It was fast paced like wam bam thank you mam fast paced.
Please read the trigger warnings they are loud and proud and there for a reason.
I LOVED Sage and her no nonsense attitude. The big red fella with his Um destroyer was so intense and I loved the fact that he did not get any of her human sayings (personally I would have a field day with him). Also the Um killing juice was such a coochie mama blocker🤣. Gosh I sound like a shy teenager not a 30 something year old independent woman!!!
Overall I love that he wanted her so bad but also took her "soul" into consideration.
Oh and the four horsemen I want to know what their names are badly because Devil was good, but he was the first born. Also death sounds so hot, famine is quiet and aloof, I think conquest is a golden retriever type but war oh war sounds like he could be fun to be around. As for Sage I hope she keeps an eye on those kids she let free. Plus the readers want more from her dairy/vlog/insane ramblings.
P.S. The spice is chefs kiss. I may be starting my own list with hubby 🤔

“I’m not giving you a choice, little human. I told you I want to keep you, and I will be doing that anyway I like,” the Devil growls, capturing my elbow, forcing me to a stop. (pp. 54-55)
There’s a finality in his voice, a tone that brokers no argument, and I can’t help the tears welling in my eyes. “I don’t want to lose my soul,” I whisper, knowing I’m powerless to stop him in the grand scheme of things. I can bitch and moan, argue all I want, but ultimately, he’s the one with the power here, the control. (p. 56)
If you ever thought of leaving me, of trying to get away, I would break every bone in your body to keep you. I would trap you here with me any way I could, and I would enjoy how I would punish you for trying to leave until you’re begging me to stay all over again.” (pp. 79-80)

Sassy Sage and her Devil 😈
This was steam was spicy in this one 🔥
Sage grew up confined to her home, with her coven's plan to sacrifice her to the devil they worshipped in exchange for power. But Sage isn't one to take things as they are, catching interest when she is taken to hell and giving the Devil a hard time the entirety of the trip.
Big Red (Devil) and Pet (Sage) had excellent banter, always challenging one another. I enjoyed getting a little back story on Devil and his four brothers, how Lillith was trying to find their matches and I am excited to see if each of the brothers get their forever loves too.
Though this is an erotica, hands down, it had a decent story that kept my interest and made questions fly around. Hopefully I will get some of those answered.

Freaking devoured
I absolutely freaking ADORED Sage and her comments to get underneath the "Devils" (if you read it, you'll know why I put "" LMAO!) skin to antagonize him. The Devil's Sacrifice was a new take on a sacrificial book that I haven't read before and it was very well written with Sage and the Devil complimenting each other's personalities.
The intimate scenes were just freaking scorching because, hello, what else can be expected from the Devil? The different powers and little kinks make Sage a very lucky girl.
To say I read this in the fastest amount of time possible, would be an understatement. I DEVOURED this book like "Devil" (hehe) does to Sage many times and it is one that I will for sure reread in the future.

To summarise the plot; the fmc's family are a cult of witches who have to sacrifice a virgin to the devil every 50 years, but Sage tries to sabotage their plans by not being a virgin for the sacrifice. But the devil actually wanted that and takes her anyway.
And then the "plot" devolves from there to just a whole lot of sex. Except its not actually sex because the devil can't fuck her without killing her because his cum will make her boil alive. So the vague plot is trying to figure out how to make it so they can fuck.
In all honestly it would be such a good plot line but it just needs more fleshing out. Felt extremely rushed at points but was an enjoyable couple of hours read.
If you're looking for quick smut 10/10, if you're looking for plot 1/10 🤣

TikTok made me do it and it wasn’t wrong!
This. Book. Is. Everything. Anytime I had to put it down to do something - you know…life and all - I couldn’t wait to start reading again. A plus-size FMC who basically gives her shitty family the middle finger for being horrible and untimely embraces her darkness 🖤 This whole story made my little dark witchy heart happy. It was well-written, actually had plot, and hilarious! I love how Sage gave sh*t as much if not more than the Devil or Horsemen. The spicy scenes were fuego 🔥🌶️ 10 out of 5 spice, story, and characters.
I rarely re-read books, but this is one of them that I will.

I have never enjoyed a book so much. This book was both hilarious and addicting.
The unique leads of the story made it special. I loved Sage so much. Her crazy and feisty personality will definitely be the reason I reread this book later.
The Devil as well made me love this story. Who doesn't enjoy reading about a heartless man who ends up being one of the sweetest ones? I definitely do. The background characters were great too. I can't wait for the books about the four horseman.
The book didn't have a slow spot. It wad hard to put down. I recommend this book to anyone who likes a feisty protagonist, great banter, and of course some spice.

This book was just everything I was not expecting it to be and I absolutely loved every minute of it. The main MMC Sage is so funny with her name calling and her comebacks. This makes her super relatable. Also the fact that she is written to be on the thicker side makes my heart happy!!! I love a more realistically written FMC. Now the MMC, The Devil himself, is possessive as hell but I am living for it. The smut in this book was top notch!! The description of the Devils “Destroyer” was really interesting. Needless to say the book has a little bit of every kink I love, and one of smut, vengeance and a possessive alpha male. Loved it. I am excited to read the rest in the series.

I have seen so many different reviews and ratings for this book and just like I always say, we all like things differently. I really enjoyed this.
I am greedy so I would have loved if it had turned out to be RH but I'm also absolutely okay with how it went. Very dark and steamy. I know you would think the Devil would be more unhinged than the FMC but I honestly feel like she is more so than him. Loved the added characters, the beginning had me hooked. It was just a really nice read. We all love the Devil...
Again, check triggers. It isn't going to be right for everyone, do not read a book that you don't feel 100% comfortable reading.

She was such a brat and it was PERFECT 🤣 her family makes a deal with the devil for power all they have to do is make one little "clean" sacrafice on Christmas. This FMC is anything but clean though so the Devil ends up with a naughty little human. While there was a short time that was was afraid she quickly got over that when she realized she could have the BIG D. Her fire towards the scariest "men" in hell - the devil and the four horsemen is hilarious. I'm normally obsessed with the MMCs and while the devil was cool - she was the biggest reason for continuing this story because she was so fun.
June 27, 2023
I usually don’t write reviews because I can’t ever decide if it’s a book I could’ve lived without or not but this book?!? Unholy devil. Finally a FMC I absolutely enjoyed every single second. Sage was hilarious and strong and brave and honestly realistic. She didn’t try to excuse her crappy family. She didn’t beg for her life. She accepted it all…BUT she wasn’t going down without being heard and seen first. She wasn’t going down without being (dicked) down first. Love love love her, love love love the devil and every single character in hell. Couldn’t put it down!

Funny....
Sage is so freaking funny. Honestly I laughed quite a bit during this book. Between sages thoughts and funny name calling and the guys being so clueless about what's she's talking about, it was a riot. I also love her scheming. I will admit I would have loved it if it was a rh but thats just me . Their relationship was definitely on the rougher side but with him being the devil, it makes sense. If the future books are as funny as this one then I can't wait to see what's next.

Devilishly good!
I absolutely loved this, and I can't wait to read the rest! I love Sage and Devil together, and I absolutely love her humor. I've never laughed so much during a book! I loved that about this book. It makes you realize that something will always make you smile or laugh no matter the problem. This is a definite read this. Check triggers. Some people aren't okay with everything, but this was such a great book!

Recommend to drop everything- if ore the looks from your tbr list- and read this!!!!
131 pages of steamy, witty/dark humor, revenge, did I mention steam?
Sage is perfect for the devil (I dare not speak his actual name or think it because- well threats, lol)
I want more! More Sage, more Devil, more horsemen- everything! And I can't wait for the next book!

⭐4 🌶️4/5
This book is hilarious and hot! I really had a lot of fun reading it. It's a novella, so it's a quick read with a lot of good spice✨
The relationship between Sage and Devil is a bit insta-love but for my part the situation felt more intense than an insta-love. I mean, even though the story takes place in a short time, it feels right.
Sage is so funny, confident and sassy, the perfect match for the Devil, who is a hot-headed and horny possessive. But still, we love our Big Red with his soft side🤭
I'm so ready to read the next books! Death is so hot!!

So funny
When Sages coven told her she was to be a virgin sacrifice to the devil she put an end to it and on the day of the sacrifice things didn’t go quite to the covens plan. The devil still arrived and took Sage but things aren’t as she expected and Sage went out if her way to antagonise the devil with her runaway mouth and endless sarcasm an wit.

Interesting
This was interesting.
I didn’t hate it. Actually kinda liked the fmc she was consistent throughout which I appreciated. The story was good with enough of a plot to support all the smut/relationship.
It was the last chapter I wasn’t a fan of. Idk being directly addressed by a character who is suddenly aware of the reader audience annoyed me 😅🤷♀️

Great fun sexy read
I love Sage, she’s the type of FMC I really enjoy. I like her sassy self - she held her own and never took things lying down. I love the whole he’s a jerk to everyone but her vibe too. The banter is great and I can wait to read more books and see more of Sage and her devil. Also I want to read Wars book!!!

It’s ok
I knew this was going to be a spicy book and it’s only a novella but I think my mindset when I read this was hopeful for looking for more of a plot/spice balance.
Initially I really liked the plot and characters but the FMC got a little too crass and random for me towards the end and it just didn’t totally suit me at the time of reading

"One, Two the devils coming for you"
"Three, Four he's gonna cum in your back door"
"Five, Six your p**** desperately wants this d***"
"Seven, Eight looks likes she's not going to have to wait"
"Nine, Ten guess I found you again"
OMG the way this book dives your straight in!! got me giggling away like a school girl.
This book has it all, spice, drama, comedy! 10/10
