I loved this so much more than I was expecting. Badass FMC giving an awful man what he deserves with the help of a hot demon?! Yes please. Oh and did I mention that said demon is a SUB in the bedroom ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‘€ doesnโ€™t get better than that lol 

I thought this was going to be different. 

First off, it was a lot heavier than a thought. The conversations of SA were very prominent and it made the story feel a bit weird. The main character would discuss how she was SA and then get d*cked down two paragraphs later. I do like how the author have scenes where the character would say she is "claiming herself back" and I found that to be incredibly empowering and important. 

I have two main problems with this story though. 
One: The writing was not giving what it thought it was giving. I think the author wanted to make the story dark and gritty, but there was a lot of telling and not showing. To make it gritty and dark, the author would just throw in the word "fuck" or "fucking" and it was supposed to be this thwarting at the mouth moment. In reality, the tone of the book was not matching the dark and gritty, so it just made it annoying how every other paragraph the word fuck or fucking would be present. 

Two: the plot? I thought the revenge plot would be a lot better.
three days?? Really this big talk only to be done in three days???
I think the author was trying to build this more extensive universe, but honestly - and personally - I did not care. I don't care about the aether, or about how Hell is this or that. And this is because the characters weren't really that interesting. A lot of telling and not showing. That's what it comes down to.


The plus side, is that I am glad to have read something set outside the US or England. Like a book set in Nigeria, with Nigerian characters felt like a breath of fresh air.
