Too YA for an adult fantasy book. I just couldn’t get into it and stay on the page. My mind was always wandering, even just after 2 chapters!

It had vampires in it of course I was going to read and enjoy this book
Note to self: when the word “sasshole” is in the blurb and the quest revolves around “saving face” you dont buy the stupid book no matter how pretty the stupid cover is

I enjoyed this one a lot, but I'm not surprised it gets so many negative reviews when it's a YA book marketed as adult.
For real, Jing's is a typical coming of age journey. She's almost a hundred, yes, but for her race that's over the age of majority (88) but before she can claim her court position. She's our world's equivalent of a colleage kid, and she's learning about friendships and going out to clubs, redefining her relationship with her parent/guardian, and having a first cute romance. It resonated with me that finally a legal adult is written to have these experiences, because I was certainly too busy with school to have them at 16. Jing is contrary, spirited and somewhat irresponsible, but she grows beautifully over the course of the story. I also liked the romance plotline stopping at happily dating and not jumping straight to life partners as so many YAs do.
The plot remains a bit vague, particularly about Mr Lee's role as banking advisor for the King of Hell. It barely comes into play. The ending is satisfactory, no cliffhanger, but there’s certainly more to come.

The first page mention of 'ta-tas' clued me in that this was not going to be to my tastes.
I should've known anything with the word 'sasshole' in the back cover copy would not be for me.
