This continues Nick’s tale. He and Amy are going steady, Lu trusts Nick and his deal with the Devil has stopped giving him sleepless nights. 

But of course, that’s when god decides he should take a hand. Nick is thriving under Lu’s care, and now, God wants to poach him. They go by Leslie, and Nick decides to work for them on the side. 

Following a lead given by God’s people, Nick uncovers a conspiracy to trick Devil Co into helping the wrong person. But when Nick gets kidnapped by the conspirators, it’s up to Amy to save him, in alliance with a former enemy. 

I loved the characterisation of God in this. Not just that they’re nonbinary, which is awesome, but also that they, just like Lu, aren’t really omniscient. And their organisation is a mess. 

Also, Nick is the chosen one, and I won’t change my mind. He’s wanted by everyone. I love that Amy gets a PoV in this, because she’s one awesome character. Their relationship is like GOALS. Rob’s redemption Arc is believable, and I’m glad he got one even though I was quite happy to hate him in Book 1. 

Lu is still my favourite. Leslie doesn’t compare at all!
