I didn't think Debbie could get any better but this book was just wow.
I love the FMC she was brilliant, tough and had me laughing repeatedly.
The guys grew on me throughout the book and definitely had me amused.
The plot was gripping and had me desperate for book 2 instantly

Okay so once again thank you BookTok for providing me with my next easily inhaled series. Nyx is a Nephilim hunter just getting through life with her best pup Chase when she discovers she's the spawn of Satan and is dragged into a competition for the throne. I really enjoyed the base this book has set for this series. There was good lore and world-building and I loved the found family aspect that Nyx forges within the competition as opposed to the expcted hatred. It's an easy, short read and I can't wait to explore the rest of the series (and figure out everyone in the group)

How many of us wish a new found family reveals itself to us as we are older? It's a popular trope for a reason, but I'm betting Nyx is wishing for anything BUT! When Satan dies, Nyx's already busy and exciting life (she is a Hunter) takes a demonic turn when it's discovered that she is the spawn of Satan. One hunt turns into another, and suddenly she is competing with half-siblings for the chance to assume a throne she's not even sure she wants.
Oh, and did I mention that she is HUMAN? Well, mostly. That certainly adds a twist to the new found family dynamic. Now, dash everything with some friendly murder and you have the makings of a demonically good tale.
This is also an RH, with four fantastic love interests, though the heat level isn't burn your face off level just yet. Rather, it's not smut, it's a well-placed growth that moves with the story. I'm still on the fence about who is my favorite, because there is a part of me that screams I have to pick one, even though I am an RH veteran and firmly in the #whychoose camp.
While I ended up loving this novel, I was, for the first time, a bit unsure about a Cassidy book. The beginning opens with a bang, but left me wondering if I had actually picked up book 2 and not book 1! While I was rushing to understand, these characters were throwing obvious development and awareness like pennies, and I was left gapping, a touch confused. And then, wham.... realization dawns, and I realize my doubt was, obviously, misplaced. My faith was quickly restored and I found myself immersed in this hellish world, loving and living it as only Cassidy can inspire.
There are some familiar faces and plenty of new characters to entertain. This is fast, complex and just getting started.

I need the next book. Like now. This was freaking amazing. The pacing was great, and the spice was good. I’m excited to see how it all plays out!
The whole found family thing squeezed my heart and I haven’t found a single book with the found family trope that hasn’t made me cry. I’m just a sap. I loved the dynamic between all of them and them learning how to trust each other.

This was an amazing start to what sounds like an amazing new series!! I’m so excited to learn more about Nyx and her story. I love how she now has family and they are starting to band together, trying to go against the things that are stacked up not in their favor. That death was a hard one but that ending was brutal. Can’t wait for the next book

I have been looking forward to this series to get to know Nyx more and OMG! So worth the wait. I truly love how Debbie Cassidy can take a starting point and weave so many different series off of it within a world that I would love to experience!

My life was in Artimus’s hands. “Get me through this, and I swear to you, I’ll be the best fucking candidate for the throne you’ve ever seen.” The carriage came to a halt and Artimus’s lips curved in a wicked smile. “I’ll hold you to that.”
FUCK! THAT ENDING
okay ive been wanting to start this series for a few months now but just haven’t gotten the chance to bc i wanted to binge it all. now that book 6 is out, i can 😁 and whew this was a great start to a new series! sets up nyx, her personality and motivations really well. like off the bat she’s quite the badass that doesn’t take shit from anyone but you get to see little peeks of the softness inside of her. because tbh i think there’s quite a lot of it. you get to see it with how quickly she bonds with her siblings that she didn’t even know she had, and then i’m hoping in book 2 we’ll see it more with her romantic relationships 👀

This book sucked me right in.
The world building was incredible! I was immersed in their world from the very beginning.
Nyx doesn't know who she really is after she was abandoned as a kid, until she gets the surprise of a lifetime. Something she never expected becomes her reality.
I loved the angst through the whole book. I kept trying to figure it out but always came back surprised once I changed the page.
Nyx is amazing. Not only is she strong willed and independent, but she is also extremely open minded even though she's not quick to trust people. Something you don't usually find in heroines, is strength but also vulnerability becuase they've still got heart. It's usually one or the other, Nyx has both.
Her love interests were all very interesting and so very different. I can't wait to learn more about all of them since we got a glimpse of each of them in this book.
