GOD THIS WAS SO GOOD!!!
I read this for the Trans Rights Readathon, and was hooked from the very beginning. Bex Deveau is very talented at writing atmosphere because as soon as we (along with the FMC, Olivia/Talon) are introduced to the world of Hell and Underworld University, I was completely immersed. This had the vibes of Vampire Academy and Sky High but with hot demons and I was absolutely EATING IT UP. It was just so fun— at sometimes ridiculous and wild, like Talon being in Hell and being worried about math KILLED ME— but it was such a good time and I loved every bit of it.
I loved all the characters/love interests as well! When I realized Talon was going to have FIVE love interests I was a little scared I wouldn’t be able to keep up with it them/tell them apart (I am a huge fan of why choose books but there have been some with over three love interests where I felt they blended together) but Bex wrote each of them so beautifully and I am now completely enamored with every single one of them. They each have a very distinct voice and I loved every moment we got with each of them with Talon. (The spice is immaculate btw.)
This ended on a major cliffhanger and I am so glad I have the second to read immediately now.
100000% recommend this for the vibes and just absolute blast it is to read. It also has trans/nb rep, polyam rep (FMC has five LI), and SW positivity (the FMC Talon is staunchly pro SW and defends her SW love interest multiple times, I loved it sm). Go read now 🖤
