I love this book with my whole heart. It was such a fun read and I'm more than happy to have the next book waiting already. This book had it all. The fmc was just perfect. I love how good she is and that she is 'just' human. The mmc...damn Darien ist just it!! The romance...yeeees! I was soooo there for it. The slow burn made me kick my feet and I just enjoyed every moment the fmc and mmc got together. The other Devils? I liked them a lot as well.

it’s basically just crescent city?
like crescent city mixed with a bad-boy/good-girl contemporary romance…and i just can’t get over the fact that it felt too familiar
did i like loren? not particularly…i dislike when the main “human” protagonist in a book full of different creatures is constantly referred to as weak or frail or passing out a lot (which happens to loren constantly)
did i like darien? also not particularly…i liked him better than loren for sure, but he still felt too tropey to me, especially when he had his whole issue with feeling too “bad” or “evil” for her
i enjoyed reading it, don’t get me wrong…it wasn’t a bad book by any means…it just felt like i had read lots of things that were very similar

OK you have a non-magical human living in a magical world and she has to hook up with the biggest baddest (sexiest) guy in town to save her friend and hide her from the mysterious group that's out to get her. Sounds fun right? Well, it would be if it was executed well but the puzzle pieces didn't quite fit together right for me.
The good, our MMC is the book boyfriend you crave. I really enjoyed his character. A bit too "tortured and broody" at times for me. And I feel like his character was supposed to be a sweet for her and friends only but still scary and yet the scary part kinda fell away a bit. But still, you know he's damn sexy and it works.
Our FMC, I didn't like her. She annoyed the hell outta me. She's not the worst FMC I've read, it kinda came in waves. But she did that thing where she'd freak out then be fine then freak out then be fine in a way that didn't mesh. And you want her to go get a head CT because anytime she'd get nervous beezy had no balance, the world tilted, felt like she was walking on an ocean, etc. Is there no other way to describe anxiety?
The supporting cast, was just eh to me. The plot twists at the end were kinda surprising but also a bit mediocre.
I liked the components of this book, I liked the premise, it just all seemed a bit disjointed. I think i stayed for the MMC. There's a second book and to be honest I don't know if I'll read it.
