just not that good. the best parts of this book are the cover and the concept. the concept is what had me excited to read this, obviously, but this left me disappointed.
first of all, i really didn't enjoy the writing. a lot of the times the lines that were meant to be hot (?) just ended up funny. an example would be "the stupid cum hungry slut roared to life" which is just so funny. i also disliked the writing because i felt like the author was simply doing too much at times, for example when he said a moan was coated in lustful ecstasy or something like that. and i enjoy really fancy, over the top writing styles but this one not so much.
second, i have an issue with the lacklustre sexual performance of the demon. who is meant to be really good at sex and all. i guess the phrase i'd use is all bark no bite. for example, asmodeus kept saying how he would make the priest tell him exactly what he wanted. and i was up for that cause i thought it'd be fun! but then he never actually made him say anything of substance. the gore was a bit much as well, in my opinion at least. like can you actually get inside of him i've had enough of hearing about how he wouldn't mind if a demon fucked his wounds. most of the dirty talk was boring and the author tried to make up for it by adding swear words to it, such as saying shut the fuck up you stupid slut 😠just profoundly unsexy. how do you make the demon summoned to fuck a priest into a sexless beast.
this book also desperately needs an editor.
not a fan. and i was really hopeful ..... jesus wept.
