Midnight with the Devil by Emma Castle

3.0

---

This has kind of been a "rainy day" book I've been hanging onto for a bit because A, Jeremy York narrates and, even though he and I started off on the worst of all the wrong feet with his terrible Australian accent in the even more terrible More Than This by Jay McLean back in January, I've discovered he's actually one of my favorite narrators now, and B, it's about the devil and demons and it's sexy. So, because Audible had a 50% off sale last week, I loaded up on a couple of those books I'd been saving for as an early Christmas gift for myself, this book included.

I didn't love this, but it was definitely fun. I enjoyed the dynamic between our two leads, the chemistry was real and it was sexy, even though a sex deal with the devil could have easily gotten really uncomfortable really quickly. But it kept things light, fun, and even kind of cute.

The ending definitely lost me and the two declaring their undying love for one another after a couple of midnight fuck sessions and some international travel really had me rolling my eyes, so that's where the book loses points for me.

Spoiler

I just thought the whole thing with the devil getting a second chance was so cheesy, especially with him and Diana losing their memories of the past month they've spent falling in love but still just ~knowing~ they're meant to be together at first sight. Barf.

Anyway, this was a fun, short time waster, but definitely not one I'll be recommending to anybody anytime soon.
