So I get really nervous about books where demons are super hot and conflicted. A friend told me that it's fine to fool around with demons in otherworld books, but in real life books they are bad. This seems like kind of a gray area for me, so I have sworn off fooling around with demons altogether. Spoiler: Brie does not!
So the background is that Brie works at a shit company. Her parents died in a car crash and she is too scared to drive at night now. She has cut ties with everyone from her previous life and is pretty isolated and messy. She has one friend at work who tries to get her to rejoin the land of the living and has great hair. She is the only one who ever refills the water jug and fixes the fax machine. And her boss is hot!
He ends up being a demon hunter, her friend gets kidnapped and dragged to hell and Brie and Luke (the hot demon-hunter boss) have to go save her. Guess what happenes??? I mean, a lot happens. There is plenty of action here, which I usually find exhausting. But it is delivered from Brie's perspective and she mostly just hits the high points. Which I appreciate.
No need to go into the details of plot, it's The Sure Thing except instead of hooking up with Nicolette Sheridan, Luke needs to repair the veil between the underworld and the overworld - potato/potahto... There's even a creepy bar scene when they are staying at a hotel. And the chemistry is excellent. You know what a delicate flower I am regarding the spicy bits, but this one didn't go overboard but did offer something for the naughty reader to sink their teeth into.
I thoroughly enjoyed this. There is definitely room for more adventures in this world, but if not, the ending was satisfying. I would watch this Netflix series, even though I would complain about how murdery it is.
