A review by ashveereads
Sinful Demon King by Nikki St. Crowe
5.0
Disclaimer – this review is for the series as a whole as I couldn’t stop in between and merely inhaled all three together.
What would you do if you suddenly found yourself inextricably entwined with a villain? After the king of a demon world invades earth on a mission to find something, confronts and defeats the U.S. military, and reaches a wary truce with the government, he settles into a life as a celebrity and media darling showcasing his otherworldly wealth. Rain, however, has enough to worry about in her own life to follow the ins and outs of the Demon King media coverage. But her normal life as a family photographer is ripped away when she *literally* runs into Wrath in an alley, refuses to bow, and somehow escapes the encounter in one piece.
As Wrath becomes obsessed with finding Rain, she is forced to face the unknowns about her past and discover power within herself beyond her wildest dreams.
So yeah, I’m obsessed. I’ve really enjoyed reading all of the stories that Nikki St. Crowe has set in this world and getting another view of the society I first encountered in her ongoing Vampire work. Both the romance and the plot managed to be fantastical and still comprehendible and digestible. Even given the magical powers and terrifying abilities at play, I still felt like the characters were real enough to relate to them and root for them. And the relationship between Wrath and Rain was compelling. Even though I questioned her decision making at times, the interactions all felt sincere and the conflict between them genuine – making the constant pull between them even more fun to watch.
