Review: Interesting prequel novella
Rating: 4 out of 5

Ignite was an excellent debut that left me wanting so much more. I wanted to know more about Pen and Az, I wanted to know about Michael and Lucifer, and I want to know what's next for everyone. And while I sit here and wait (not so) patiently for Incite, I'm so glad that I had Entice to tide me over!This story actually takes place before Ignite, and gives more insight into the Garden of Eden events that are briefly mentioned. We see a lot of Pen and her misgivings about hell and Lucifer and following her brother in his fall from Heaven, and I think that this story is excellent in helping to develop her character. We also learn a little bit more about Lucifer and his hold over Pen and why she's so faithful in her missions.I thought the re-imagining (I guess you would call it that?) about the fall of man was really interesting. Everyone knows how the serpent tempted Eve to eat the forbidden fruit and how Eve in turn gave the fruit to Adam. But here, Eve and the serpent don't take the traditional form. I thought it was really interesting to see such a popular Bible story told from a different perspective, while all of the major details were kept the same.If you've read Ignite, I would definitely recommend reading this novella. I would also recommend this series to anyone looking for a new take on Heaven, Hell, angels, and demons. It's really interesting, and I've enjoyed it quite a bit thus far. I can't wait to read the conclusion as soon as I can get my hands on it! 4/5 for this novella.*I received this book as an eARC from Patchwork Press on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review*
