"A deliciously devilish romance." – KIMBERLY LEMMING, USA Today Bestselling author of That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon
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.

Loved it
Banter was amazing and written so well! Demolished it in one sitting - can’t wait to read the series. 10/10 stars!
Ok story Poor execution
It was well written, the characters and concept were interesting… but there were some glaring problems for me.
For 1, how is it that Angels can have babies but demons cannot? I might buy it if its just the Hellfire born demons that can’t, but the fallen on earth can so the fallen in hell should be able to as well. If not, why? It’s an unexplored and unexplained plot chasm that bothered me.
2. Eva was TERRIFIED of Ash for 70% of the book and then just jumped head first into telling him she loved him? The fear completely evaporated after the initial confrontation with her dad near the end. Not to mention it was sparse throughout the book.
3. There was also that whole random conversation forcing Ash to acknowledge feelings he’s never experienced before therefore can’t quantify easily. It felt very “Tell me how you feel now or I’m leaving you.” Which isn’t fair to him. In fact looking back a lot of what Eva did didn’t quite seem fair to someone who essentially has less world experience and understanding of how the world works than her.
Overall I like the idea this story presents, it’s just the execution was poor, and the characters didn’t so much develop as just adjust to what was needed for the plot. The only big character development moment came at the dead end when Ash realised all he had to do was love Eva in order to break his curse, and even that was anticlimactic and lacklustre.
