Another solid "meh" for me. I didnt mind the wo person POV both in 1st person, but it can throw some people off. I just didnt connect with the characters. This was another in my angels/demons research for my own book.
Its been 13 years since the end of the world. River is 22 and takes care of her neglected brothers. Her mother is horrible to her. River has no idea who her father is. She fishes to feed her family. She also has visions and occasionally lights something on fire. No one knows about this except her best friend and little brother. One day her mother turns her into the authorities who are looking for "people with special powers." This is when she meets Kobal.
Kobal is a huge demon who thinks River might be "the one they've been looking for." It's all very vague. He never answers River's questions and they dislike each other, but are attracted.
Turns out there are two sides to the demon war.
"Hell became divided into two factions who have battled each other ever since. The Palitons, my side, who fights against Lucifer, and the Craetons who follow him.”
This book is the set up for a series, but there wasn't much of a story. It wasn't interesting enough for me to want to continue the series. I haven't been that impressed with Brenda K. Davies. She likes to write spicy scenes and enemies to lovers tropes, but the plot is too light and the details too complicated. I just don't feel like it was well done at all.
