Murphy's Law for Demons
by C.J. Pierce
I remember liking the book, but it's been so long since I read it, that this review will be pretty short. (Always get that review up while the book is fresh in your mind!)
The characters were likeable, and the humour was funny (occasionally), the story wasn't too engaging with me thoough. It's not a bad book, but it is pretty average.
As said, the characters are likeable, but I didn't feel like they were fleshed out. We see a little into Murphy's thinking and we learn a lot about Joy's past, but learning someones backstory isn't the same as fleshing them out.
The humour was hit and miss. Sometimes it gave me a little chuckle and other times it would fly over my head. At least the book didn't make me cringe (that I remember).
Now the story. This is probably where it let me down the most. There are some twists and turns. but it all feels a little cliche to me. Maybe I've read this kind of story too many times, of Heaven vs Hell and unexpectedly *feign shock* the bad guy is an Angel... I guess I was hoping for something different this time round and with my expectations not met, it was a little bit of a let down.
In the end, it was still a good read, I never fell like DNFing, but if you asked me if you should read it? I would shrug my shoulders... maybe worth a read if you want something small and easy to read.
