A review by dragon_lion64
Cipher by Larissa Ione

4.0

Larissa Ione never disappoints me with her stories. I love that her female characters are raw and flawed and have bad thoughts. I hate perfect Polly Pures who are so innocent and sweet that I just want to drown them in a bucket of honey. Her male characters are badass too.

Cipher was dragged into Hell or Sheoul and for seven months has been tortured, put in the ring to fight for his life just to entertain the demons and the evil overlord named Bael and he has been trying to watch off the evil that oozes into everyone in Bael's realm.

Lyre was put in charge of Cipher as his handler. She hates Bael but made a bargain with him that she now regrets so she's stuck in his realm. She tells herself she doesn't care what happens to Cipher yet she can't help but being attracted to him.

The main story was great but I always like the background story which is the fight for power and to keep Satan locked up and keep Armageddon from happening too soon.

I look forward to the next book.
