I don't know how to rate this second book (or even the whole series) because there are magic and epic moments and stuff soooo rubbish I'm not even sure why it's there !!
I loved the story of Nero, Jenny and Kate, the return of Violent, the character of Everett whom I hate sooo much and the end of the book with their reincarnation. It was simple and fun.
On the other hand, I found absolutely ridiculous the character of Lucifer who is more like a fussy child, the reversal of Jason who totally falls in love in five seconds with Kate, the love story of Selina and Mine, to sum up all their mushy love story hyper ridiculous full of tears, kisses and constant references to the Jack's dick !!
In short, I liked it but at the same time, I was so disappointed because it could have been so much better !!

Debra Anastasia is one of my favorite authors. There I said it. Her witty dialogue and imaginative stories never fail to reel me in. She isn’t afraid to write what she wants, even a fart joke here and there. Bittersweet Seraphim most definitely did not disappoint. It was all I expected and more.

Bittersweet is the follow up to Crushed Seraphim, in which we met Jack, Emma, and Jason, just to name a few. In this second book we join those three as well as a few new characters. Often times I’m leery of characters being added in on top of characters but not this time. I liked how our new friends’ stories were weaved in with those we already knew and loved.

Jack is back (hehehe) and he’s sexy and funny as ever. It's impossible not to love him, devil or not. He bleeds sarcasm and I adore that, which shouldn’t be a big surprise to most everyone that knows me. But my absolute favorite thing about him is his overwhelming love for Emma. Even while they are apart, he refuses to give up and his love for her holds strong. *sigh* If he were the mushy type, I’d have just climbed through the pages and hugged Jack. (Possibly I’d sneak in a grope.)

The bad thing is, Jack is back on earth as a human while his love is in Hell. Emma is caged up by the current devil, who likes to spend his days dishing out any form of abuse he can. Everett has never wanted anything but Emma and he thinks now that he has her trapped, he’ll get what he desires. Poor Emma tries to keep her mind focused on what she loves most, even though she no longer has her wings. Some days it’s hard to focus and remember why she’s there.

Though she doesn’t know it, Jack and the gang plan to break Emma out of Hell. *jazz hands*

Unfortunately they release minions on their way in, creating a bit of chaos on earth. A devilish twist I wasn’t expecting at all follows. I’m all about a book surprising me over and over-- Bittersweet does just that. Not only does the plot have a few twists but I enjoyed seeing the characters grow and evolve before my eyes. The characters I love (and even those I love to dislike) surprised me often and kept me on the edge of my seat.

I felt like the final chapter was the perfectly wrapped package with a beautiful bow on top. Fascinating and very enjoyable book. If you’re curious but uncertain about checking out Bittersweet, first I have to say, read Crushed first (obviously) so you can hurry on over to this one-- you won’t be disappointed. Who doesn’t want to read the story of the devil falling in love with an angel?? It’s a steal via amazon for kindle right now. You should go buy it.

I liked the first one but couldn't really get interested in this book.

Why can't I give this 10 stars or 15 or 20?!?! Absolutely loved it! Debra Anastasia is, in my humble opinion, a story telling genius. I laughed, cried, screamed and fanned myself more than once - just brilliant, go read it!!

I love all books about angels and this one didn't disappoint. It was the perfect blend of love and hate and a healthy dose turmoil. My emotions were all over the place, which is the a sign of the perfect book for me.

Satan Jack was.....heavenly. How could I explain that any clearer? :)
