Publisher's Summary

They say you should never make a deal with the devil, but what about with the Prince of the Underworld?

Fresh off a breakup and an eviction, I started my day like any other: a book in one hand, a coffee in the other, and faking that can-do attitude inspirational memes are made of. I was ready to take on the world — and I did. Unfortunately, it was the Underworld.

One freak accident later, I’m standing face-to-face with the sexy-as-sin and dangerously powerful Prince of the Underworld. He has a few burning questions for me — like how a mere human unlocked the door to the Underworld’s prison and released its prisoners.

I’d sure as hell like to know, too, because I have no freaking clue.

Now, instead of a forgettable bookstore clerk, I’m newly famous for doing the impossible. The wrong people want to thank me, and the rest want me dead. Spoiler alert: The Dark Prince definitely doesn’t want to thank me. 

I’ll do anything to get my life back to normal and he’ll do anything to recapture the escapees. We make a deal: He’ll keep my enemies at bay, and I’ll find a way to return the prisoners.

What could possibly go wrong?

Not For Me.

This one was lacking for me. It feels like it was written for a younger adult. I would say anyone in their 20 - 30 would enjoy this. For me, I think I have left this style of novel and need more adventure or plot. I felt like the plot was missing something and I could not empathize with the main character. I also think there are much better versions of this story out there. I would suggest Katrina Martienz. However, the narration was excellent.

I would say try it and see if it was for you, but it was not for me.

A hot mess, and not in a good way.

The "romance" is far to contrived to be believable, but that's a sin of most of the books in this genre. If that was all that was wrong with this book then I'd simply write it off as more chaff to be sifted through to find those few gems.

The problem is that the female lead, our plucky heroin, is a bloody fool and as self centered as her much malined token bad boyfriend.

SPOILERS AHEAD.

Was it her falt she was used as the magic equivilent of a VPN router, no. But her insistence that her job at a bookstore come coffeehouse is more important than the untold(literally, we don't hear anything about what the uber-badies get up to while they're free) innocents killed by the people she unwittingly freed, is telling. Then, when her presence at said bookstore brings other, tangentially connected, badies there to ruin half the shop, it's not her fault, even though she was the only one who thought it wise to help host a wine party while wearing a massive target on her back.

Time and again, our leading lady makes base level mistakes, and then blames everything on the supernaturals. It becomes tiresome in the extreme. I'm not sure if the author intended the heroin to resemble her narcissistic ex, but I find it hard to believe that two such self cetered idiots could have had a romantic relationship that lasted long enough to generate the kind of reactions we get from the leads perfect best friend eveytime it/he comes up.

If you have a hard time with meaningless stupidity from your main character, stay away from this one. It also ends on a cliffhanger, if something so predictable could be called that. Learn from my mistake, and save yourself the greif of having wasted time and money.
