Where do I start? As I always love retelling, I kept an eye for this book for I don't know how long. I love retelling, I love mythology, I love queer book. So, I guess this is a perfect book for me. With a genderbent! Persephone (turned out to be Percy) and Haden (from Hades), we know where the story will go.
I love the process reading it. Knowing every characters and can react to each of them freely, I just love The Devil Takes freaking much. Plus, this book comes from the author and illustrator I love. The arts in this book are just brilliant!
Thank you for releasing The Devil Takes, Fae. And I can't wait to continue my journey with Haden & Percy in What's Willingly Given... probably in hell? That's gonna be awesome! I didn't regret that everyday I've read this book for 33 pages per day.
Thank you so much!

This was fun and I enjoyed the parts about Percy trying to navigate his life and college. The parts with Haden were good and steamy but I felt like it was a bit disconnected from the rest of the story. I never really got to figure out the 2 of them together.

I am actually conflicted on how I want to rate this book. This is the first book I've finally completed in March, but also this is an extremely heavy book. This is more about an omega's journey on recognizing abuse (not by the love interest) than it is erotica or romance. I look forward to the second part of these series and I'm hoping it will be a little bit happier than this one was.
