If you are looking for a hot steamy witchy revenge plot, then this is the book for you!

Talk about full of spice and absolutely nothing nice! As Above, So Below by Dana Isaly is it extremely spicy easy read that embodies a strong female revenge plot. I would give it a 4/5 on the spice which is an absolute phenomenal rating. chock-full of demons and witches, this book is perfect for the spooky time of the year. I highly recommend it for a quick reading fix!

When the main character is scorned by a male friend and her entire community turns against her, she falls into a great depression and isn't sure what to do about it. Stripped of her powers as a witch and living among humans, she makes the ultimate decision to end her suffering but is saved by her long-term paralysis demon. Raunchy debauchery ensues in the underworld as she plots her revenge.

I'd give this book a solid 4/5. I do wish there was a little bit more character development and world building. I would like to read more about the siblings as well as Lucifer himself. I feel like they could've done a little bit more with that dynamic. Potentially additional books??

I was gifted an arc in exchange for a honest review.

This was a quick and easy read. The plot was simple and could've been expanded more but it worked well for how it went. The thing I loved most was the FMC embracing her villain. Most stories people take the moral high ground and just once I'm glad she did the wrong thing which felt so right. There could be room for more, but overall it ended well.

This book follows branwen. Through all of her times of glee and misfortune. This is overall a very good book. 
There are a few things I would change but I know many people who love this book. For me, there’s too much smut. (I know, crazy! Lol) The author did put a lot of time and energy into it making the smut very easy to read. The storyline was amazing though and I wish I could’ve read more of it. I wish I got to lean more about Roth other than the obvious. Although, I understand this tied into the mysterious factor of him. 
I really hope there’s a 2nd book coming out, so we can read more about what happened after the ending. 
My rating for this book is 4⭐️ 4🌶
As always, I love reading and this was a really good book. The message’s between the chapters are very cool! Amazing read!
