Luck of the Demon by Stacia Stark

lavendermarch's review against another edition

5.0

This was an incredible book! While I was already attached to the amazing characters from the previous books, this installment in the series amped up the emotions and hurt my heart for much of the book, as one would expect after the ending of book three. Danica really went all over the place, in a way that reminded me a bit of October Daye (which is high praise from me). I'd definitely like to learn more about the other realms and magical peoples, and I look forward to exploring some of the threads that Stark wove in about Kyla and Evie in spinoff books.

In general, what struck me in this book beside all the feels was how many wonderful people Danica has by her side now, which is a contrast to how things were in book one. I'm proud of how much she's grown. Overall, I very much enjoyed this book, and absolutely cannot wait until April for the next one after that ending! 5 stars. It deserves every one of them.

4.5 stars. The cliffhanger was INSANE but it helped that all the books were already out, so I could just go to the next one lol. I really love this series. This was no exception. Loved all the quests in this book, the way Danica kept calling in favors and bringing together all her connections to save Samael.

Wow the is may be my favorite so far in this series-I really loved how strong Danica was despite being absolutely terrified for most of the book. Very well written emotional scenes.

This book…. Man, like the previous books this book was insane.

It pretty much picked up right after the shocking events of the last book and it doesn't slow down. 

We get once again nonstop action,politics between all the factions, humor , heartbreak and one bombshell after the next.

While I still very much loved this book, it’s my least favorite in the series so far.Though not sure if it is because I binged all her books so fast and furious or if it was because there was so much going on in this book.

There is always a lot going on in all books but this one felt even more so. There were times I felt overwhelmed . 

Overall I still loved it, Everyone and everything about it. Of course we get a wicked cliffhanger and I can't wait to read the next book. 

Though I think I will cleanse my palette a little before that with a different book and genre.

I give it 4 full stars and I still very much recommend this author and series :)

This review is for the entire series

Initially, I was rooting for Danica and wanted to smack the rude out of Samael. However the more you read the more you realize why he is the way he is. The more he, and all the characters grow. That is by far my fave part of the entire series. The individual growth and the growth of relationships between characters. Not Just the two MCs but also their relationships with friends and family. the development of the world, careers, the complexity of the witching grading system from white to black, and all the grey in between. It was terrific. Hard to believe the writer is fairly new.

4.25 - Enormous cliffhanger! This was an intense and wild ride. So much happen and it is near constant.

Even though this whole book felt like a collection of side quests it was a fun read, dragged a bit at times but it was interesting to see everything fall into place. Loved all the new characters aaah! That ending tho, pls-
