It took me a while to get used to the present tense writing style used throughout the book, but once I got into it, the style did lend itself to the crazy, chaotic characters and plot. I could really get into the mindset of the slightly crazy angel Anael. When she leaves heaven to have a little adventure, she ends up being tortured in hell by a demon duchess and rescued by a demon Transporter named Gaap. For a while they get sidetracked to southern California due to the summons of a teenage satanist. But that just gets them in touch with a demon-possessed five year old who will play an important part in the story. Turns out Anael and her motley crew may be just what's needed to put Lucifer in his place.St. Peter, Lucifer, Hades, Charon, Styx, Cerberus, Persephone, and other underworld favorites figure in this wild romp through Hell, Purgatory, and Topside. The characters are interesting and unexpected. (Pete tends bar, Lucifer plays skins game golf for real skins!) If you like weird twists on mythology, this is for you.There is flirtation, innuendo, and a love story, but no sex, which surprised me. However, since Anael is such an innocent, I think that was perfectly fine for this story.*I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
