This book is indeed alluring and captivating. The detailed review also shows what to expect as a potential reader. I love books as this where there's suspense and a constant conflict between good and evil.

An interesting plot, with good characters and a good narrative, is all I want to see in a book. And this book seems to have them all. I'll surely finish it! Great review and congrats on BOTM!

There seems to be a fine line between good and evil in this book. It makes me wonder which one is the strongest. Thank you for your review.

Latest Review: Remembering Stardust by C. D. Baker

Post by Kirsi Cultrera »

This sounds like a very suspenseful and intriguing read. Lucifer’s daughter as a protagonist is intriguing enough, not to mention that she seems to be rather soft at heart every now and then. Her humanistic side and devilish side are on collision course ant that probably creates interesting moments. Their school also sounds like a special place! I can’t wait to read this one!

Thanks for an entertaining review!

Well, author pull out all the stops, at least as long as I am concerned. Excellent cover draw attention immediately, review gives great description and any point raised are spot on: newbie at school, the princess of hell and of all time favorite Lucifer's daughter to boot. Definitely add to my "want to read" shelf!

Latest Review: The Legacy of Job's Wife by Cynthia Koelker

Post by Michelle Menezes »

This book reminds me of another one I read a while ago called Crave by Tracy Wolff. The gothic school and love triangle element are similar. The only difference is that this one has Lucifer's daughter in it. I'm curious to see how Cecilia manages to live with humans. I also like books with paranormal and fantasy vibes, so I'm eager to give it a try. Great job on the review!

Romance is not my thing but I like a good paranormal thriller and this one seems strong enough for not-so-young adults to like it as well. Thank you for your great review!

A well-written fantasy with a unique point of view for a start. Good review, although I cannot read this, being intended for youngsters.

It is, indeed, an original and unique premise. Although I'm not sure if I would've liked even more seeing the daughter of Lucifer in a normal, "peppy" high school, instead of a gothic one. That could've been fun. I love that kind of contrasts. But I still will add this book to my TBR list.
Thank you for your fantastic review!
