Thoughts

Lucifer and Megara as a couple is such a brilliant idea. And I love that they are both based in different religious beliefs. But, take that position quite readily as someone who is “bad”. Yet, throughout this whole story, they are actually the better behaved of everyone. Plus, I just really love any story which features Lucifer lately. The idea of Megara and her two harpy sisters – brilliant.

As a short story, I absolutely adored this and was kind of content to let it lie as was. However, since it’s a short story that is part of a greater series, I really want to read more about Megara and Lucifer, even if it is as secondary characters. They just seem to be on the precipice of a fantastic relationship, one that will take a whole lot of work to make it work. And I want to know how / if that ends up happening!

There was so much lust and sensuality throughout this story, but not an intense storyline. I kind of loved it – it was just all heat and intensity. But, I also want more of the story behind the story. It was fun and seriously enjoyable. And more emotion and intensity is definitely on my bucket list for the next Kessler story I want to read.

Synopsis

Sometimes love is everything you could ever want. Sometimes it’s just a real kick in the teeth.

Thoughts

I really liked the world building in this story. It featured twins that weren’t really twins, a demon, and a long-lost love. There is nothing I love better than a story that has this much power and just plain, downright awesomeness. It drew me in from the beginning and even a few days after reading it and sitting down to (finally) write this review…. I’m still enjoying the storyline.

Relationships are built upon memories. I love that this story is all about those memories. Those key moments that we all have and that each of us remember differently. I love that sin an attempt to reconnect with a lost love, it’s a memory that is shared. The fact that this memory box sends a demon twin into a hell dimension and all sorts of horribleness… well, it just wouldn’t be a good story without such a spanner in the works.

This was an incredibly quick and easy story to read. It swept me away and took me on a fun little adventure. One that I completely wasn’t expecting but enjoyed regardless. I love the idea of demon twins and having to protect demons. Hell dimensions and loves lost or regained. It was just… fun and a great set up in a relatively few number of pages.
