Book Description
Asmodeus, Prince of Hell, just wants to make music. Jazz, specifically. Unfortunately, he’s a demon. And he’s supposed to be evil.
Clearly, for Ash, a career as a musician isn’t exactly an option. Plus, he’s cursed. Sick of playing by the rules, Ash and his three brothers escape Hell in search of freedom on Earth. But it’s harder than they thought to keep their enemies off their tails . . .
Yet everything changes for Ash when he meets a beautiful violinist who can see through his curse. No matter the risk, he has to have her.
Evangeline Gregory is just your average human. She works at a jazz bar, plays gigs on weekends . . . and, apparently, hallucinates demons.
At least that’s what Eva tells herself when, moments after she meets the man of her dreams, she sees him shift into a 7-foot-tall monster. Not believing her own eyes, Eva decides to investigate and soon finds herself in the middle of a supernatural clusterf**k.. But Ash isn’t the only one keeping secrets, and the search for answers reveals a shocking truth that will change Eva’s life forever. Or maybe just doom it. The path to love can be complete Hell.
My Review
Asmodeus, Raum, Belial, and Mephistopheles are all demons and they got tired of what they had to do in Hell so they escaped. They were done with that whole life, they wanted to live on Earth and have lives but Lucifer isn't going to just let them walk away and so they have to be careful and make sure where they live in warded against hunters and others coming to look for them. Only problem is Asmodeus (Ash) meets Eva who can actually see through his curse and see him. She's a musician and he loves that since he likes to play the piano. His brothers are happy for him that he's met a human female who can actually see him but that also puts her and the rest of them in danger.
Once Eva realizes that Ash and his brothers are actual demons and a hunter is out to nab them and take them back to Hell, the action ratchets up a whole lot. But Ash and his brothers aren't the only ones with a huge secret that's about to pop wide open and change Eva's life forever.
This was such a great story! I love demons, especially when they turn into good guys which these guys really were trying to do. Yes, they might be demons but even demons get tired of being bad all the time, at least these ones did. I loved getting to know Ash's brothers, especially Belial, he had such a bad temper. I can only hope he meets someone who is good for him when he gets his own book. I can't wait to read more of this series and find out what happens to the rest of them.
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.

This does sound like fun.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds great! The demon-wants-to-live-a-human-life trope gets a refreshing angle (music), and it's fun like Eva can actually see his demon side.
