cadiva's review
5.0
Beautifully twisted
As there's a shiny new cover I figured it was time for a re-read and an actual review this time round.
This is one of my favourites of all Devon's books because it makes you think. Yes there's the usual amount of insane sex (someone give them some lube please ;) ) but it's not what's driving the narrative.
This isn't a love story, although there is definitely love in it, but a "what if?" What if the Devil wasn't the bad guy but instead he'd left his Almighty lover because he was a cruel tyrant incapable of allowing free will? What if God was the one you should be worried about and he was planning the Armageddon himself?
In Clipped, angels and demons are real but they go by different names and everyone is searching for the Christ child who is going to destroy the world.
This book is a headrush which invites you to challenge all Christian traditions and treat them as only one possible side to the story and I love it.
Subversive, sexy, scary, sacrilegious, scandalous and a whole load of other words beginning with s like seductive and sadistic, don't look for hearts and flowers here.

the_novel_approach's review against another edition
4.0
To start, this was a very interesting read. There’s a lot of very fast paced action, a lot of sex, and a lot of characters to keep up with. Oh, and did I mention, a lot of sex?

zoey_emma's review against another edition

This book certainly has a way of keeping the reader gripped throughout its entirety.
Not only is the plotting a concept I have never encountered before, but the characters have a way of latching onto you and never letting go. As you read, you begin to care about what happens to them, especially our lead protagonist, Kinzer (Does he finally avenge The death of Janka? Do they prevent the apocalypse? Etc.)
The concept of good vs evil is a heavy factor throughout this book. Here we see that God is the true evil whilst Satan is attempting to prevent the earth's destruction by using the antichrist. This is a definite talking point in the plotline that will have readers debating for hours after reading.
Perfection is also another topic that appears heavily in the plot, shown particularly well in the more erotic scenes.
The writing style allows the reader to smoothly traverse the world without becoming lost and confused. You start to read and before you know it, you're half way through.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book and I cannot wait to read more from this author. 5 out of 5 stars!
