Entice is a prequel of Ignite (the first book in the Ignite series by Erica Crouch). It tells us about Pen and Az's time while they were both in Hell, particularly about their mission of tricking Adam into a sin and corrupting the Garden of Eden.
This book was as good as I thought it would be - it had the certain amount of action, the certain amount of entertainment and the certain amount of drama. Nothing was too much or too less explored - it was just right!
But there was one little thing I liked more than others - Pen.
Don't get me wrong! I liked Pen during Ignite, and loved her during Incite. But this Pen? This Pen was almost as good as Incite's Pen! (Pen. Pen. Pen. Pen). The question is: what made me like Pen so much in this book? Well, what can I say... you don't get to see your main character being sassy over the Hell's king every day, do you?
"Lucifer purses his lips. "Are you fearless?"
"I fear many things," I say, pulling my hand from him. "Like corruption, corrosion, other words that start with c..." I list a few in my mind.
"But not dead."
"Not my own.""

(And I know this is completely wrong... but I sort of shipped them during this moment? I don't know, I'm crazy, but I did...)

Another thing I really liked about Pen in this book was how much she cared for Az, we can obviously tell from Ignite and Incite that she loves him - as she says that many times. But while reading Entice we don't get her saying how much she cares about him a lot - we get her making us see how much she cares about him - with actual actions.

But not everything I particularly liked on this book is related to Pen. No, actually the next thing I loved the most is related no Azael: I loved the way we could literally feel him getting lost, darker and darker. Losing every single Heavenly-atom that was once on his body.
"I study Az closer, trying to find something familiar, but everything is different now. He stands taller, holds himself tense and ready to fight. There's a coldness in his eyes and the lines of his face that is only broken by a mirthless smirk at cruelty or pain."


And let's not even talk about Erica Crouch's writing, because if we do I might start crying of how good and captivating it is! With the Ignite series, she totally made her way to my top 10 of favorite authors! And this will not be my last book written by her.
