The Angel and the Devil

By Zwahk Muchoney

Rating 3.5 out of 5 stars

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

The Angel and the Devil follow an angel of wrath, Tzyeriel, and Satan through multiple spicy escapades during Tzyeriel’s time in Hell for a torture assignment. The book makes a point multiple times that the love between Tzyeriel and Satan is incredibly forbidden. Angels are not supposed to “fornicate” at all in general, but especially not with beings of Hell. This does not stop either of them, as they continue to travel all over Hell together. Abaddon, Satan’s former lover, finds about this love affair and notifies Heaven. After some Angels complete an inquiry, it is decided that Satan is cast out of Hell to walk on earth, and Tzyeriel is found guilty and cast out of Heaven. This was not the first time Tzyeriel had a situationship with someone. During that process, the Angels and Archangels learned that Tzyeriel had “free will” like Lucifer did, which is not allowed, and ultimately why he was cast out of Heaven.

Over all, the story was decent enough. Most of my rating is more due to the structure of the book more than anything else. I often got confused with who was saying what and would need to re-read the sections to follow along with the conversation. The spicy scenes are very much fade to black, none of them explicit other than odd phrasings. For instance, “Tzyeriel pushed Satan up against a cold rock wall and had him in a most animalistic fashion.” There are other phrases used to indicate that spicy time was about to happen, but we are not a part of it in any way, shape, or form.

One of the things I also like about this book is that even though it is a short story, it is still packed with a plot. Sometimes short stories lose out on plot because so much gets skipped over. This whole story is really the span of a day or two, but has an overall plot.

Beauty’s Beasts

By Amy Pennza

5 out of 5 stars

This is a short read, of about 60 pages maybe. It follows Cordelia, Cade, and Levi. Cordelia is a rare female werewolf who is betrothed to an alpha who is totally disgusted by her. She overhears the fowl conversation between her father and him the night before she is supposed to get married. She decides that life is not for her and flees to the Free Zone, where there are not any packs. There she meets Cade and Levi. Levi is an alpha heir for the Mississippi Pack and Cade is his enforcer lover. They are bisexual, which is why they were kicked out of the pack by Levi’s father.

This book is definitely spicy!! It has so much spice from the very beginning. It has MM scenes and MMF scenes. After they have sex with Cordelia, an enforcer form the Mississippi pack begs Levi to come back because his father was killed and the next two in line after Levi. The enforcer indicated they were okay with his relationship with Cade. Cordelia and Cade convinced Levi to be the change werewolves needed and Cordelia agreed to mate Levi as required to be alpha. The three of them fall in love and care for each other. I wont give away all the juicy secrets 🙂

I really want more in this story, but I do not think there is another book. I am definitely going to read other works by this author. I got this book for free on booksprout and it is my first 5 star read this month (that I can rate, I did read one other book this month that was 5 star but I did not do a review on it…though I should go back and do it…). I would definitely assign this as 5 out of 5 peppers for spice! I liked the story as well. Even though it was short, I did not feel like it left anything out and was very clear from start to finish. Sometimes short stories can lose information along the way. I enjoyed the ending and definitely need and want more! The cover models are also sexy, so I can only imagine the sexiness of the characters. I am glad all three of them found what they were looking for in life 🙂
