Fifteen year-old Megan Barnett and her single mom, Suze, have a special relationship—they are friends, close friends, who do almost everything together. “But come on, guys, she’s my mother… Can I really tell her that while we’re snuggled up on the sofa watching Spider Man Three, I’m secretly undressing James Franco with my eyes? Of course not…” The special bond takes a turn for the worse when Suze decides to start dating again. She hasn’t had a man in her life since Megan’s father left ten years ago. Enter two mysterious young men, Megan’s new classmate, sinfully attractive bad boy, Guy Matson, and the dangerously handsome art dealer, Armando. Before long Megan and Suze both wind up in steamy relationships. But neither of the handsome pair is quite what he seems. In fact, one of them is Satan, with his sights set on a new bride. Megan has precious little time to figure out how to stop him. If she doesn’t, either Megan or Suze are quite literally going to HELL.
*My Review*
I was so happy to get an ARC of this book! It sounded really interesting, and I must say I wasn't disappointed!
What I liked most about this book was it had something for everyone! This book has romance and mystery. It has some horror. It has mother daughter relationship struggles. It has humor and some witty remarks. Overall it was a very interesting read.
I am not a huge fan of horror so I was a little hesitant to pick this up, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be!
I really loved the characters. I remember reading it and getting so emotionally attached to them I was shouting at the book when one of them screwed up! And yes, I yell at inanimate objects. :P Megan is easy to like. She cares for her mom and her friends, but is a little slow when it comes to romance. (Oh but there's romance, it just takes a bit to get there!) As always the guys in this novel where infuriating! They are there for you one moment, then they disappear!
The ending was sad and happy at the same time. And the ending killed me! It is a huge cliffhanger! I cannot wait to read Earth Angel, which is the second book in the series.
This sounds like a good book I will have to look into reading it. Thanks for the review :)
